It describes how feedback from a teacher helped improve the film by adding filters and effects to the opening and including more bullying scenes. Additional feedback from Facebook, Vimeo, and fellow students found that the plot was understood, people felt sorry for the main character, and students liked the sounds and effects used. In summary, the document analyzes the film's mise-en-scene and how feedback was used to improve the opening and storyline to better appeal to the target audience.
Production pitch
The production pitch proposes a comedy film trailer that will showcase the transformation of an unpopular teenage boy. The trailer will start with voiceover describing the boy's stereotypical home life while showing his morning routine. Scenes will then depict him being bullied and struggling to get the attention of a girl he likes. His journey will include befriending three classmates who help him become more popular by the end, though he faces a setback when the girl ignores him mid-transformation. The overall plan is to transform the boy into a confident, fashionable teen who gains social acceptance.

Pitch presentation - A City of Saints
The document proposes a pitch for a film called "A City of Saints" about friends who run a mafia in 1930s New Orleans. It aims to attract mainly males aged 15-24 and 25-34, as the violent and action-packed story set in America's past would appeal more to men.

Evaluation 4 and 5
This document discusses strategies for targeting and attracting a young adult audience aged 15-28 to a media production. The target audience enjoys thrillers, comics, and books with plot twists. To attract this audience, the production uses techniques from films like Taken, including low lighting and POV shots to build suspense. It also discusses promoting the production through related apps, music soundtracks, and by gathering feedback from a target audience focus group.
Pitch presentation 2
Millie Longford and others presented a pitch for a psychological thriller film about a man with absence seizures that cause him to develop split personalities, one of which commits murders. The man is unaware of his condition or crimes. The film will explore this concept similarly to Split but with the unique addition of absence seizures. Key promotional elements discussed included focusing on the multiple personalities aspect to generate mystery and intrigue around an otherwise normal-seeming man. Initial ideas were presented for the poster, trailer, and target audience based on research from the similar film Split.
How Research has informed our planning for our final opening sequence
The document discusses how research informed the planning of an opening sequence for a film. It describes using a protagonist that the target audience of 16-25 year olds can relate to by experiencing bullying or psychological issues. The narrative plot follows the protagonist seeking revenge after being bullied at home and school. Locations in London like a park and basement are used to create suspense, conforming to thriller genre conventions. Camera techniques researched like tracking shots and 180 degree rule were implemented to successfully achieve the thriller genre for the opening sequence.
How does your media product represent particular social groups
This document discusses the representation of social groups in a student media production. The production targets teenagers aged 15-18 and young adults as the audience because they can relate to the storyline. Two members of the student group were cast as the main actors since they fit the target demographic and were available to film. One actor was chosen to play the "Entity" because he is short, making him seem scary but harmless compared to the other actor. The production aims to subvert stereotypes by portraying the male investigator character as becoming weak and helpless, rather than only depicting female characters that way.
Production pitch
Working Title is interested in producing the film because of the company's success with comedy films like Hot Fuzz and Love Actually. Their research shows that the target age bracket for this comedy film is 15-19 year olds, who will be able to relate to the bullying experiences depicted. The film will follow the transformation of an unpopular boy named Gibby as he develops social skills and popularity at school, culminating in him getting the girl he likes. The trailer will start with an establishing shot of Gibby's house and voiceover describing who he is not, then show him waking up to signal his desire for change. Key scenes to be shown include Gibby trying on different outfits for approval and experiencing cringe-worthy moments
Genre research
The document discusses various elements of the teen drama genre. It focuses on the genre of "coming of age" teen dramas and provides examples. Key elements discussed include characters (e.g. stereotypes like jocks and nerds), settings (typically high schools), narratives (following a protagonist who makes friends and faces hardships), style (using shots that establish locations and characters), and iconography (things like school sports games and prom night that symbolize the genre).
Evaluation [Question 1 (II)]
This is the same slideshare as the previous one I have blogged about the first evaluation question. However I have included some images, and screenshots from our actual opening sequence "The Longing".... just so it looks a bit more interesting! :)
Pitch

1. The main protagonist reopens her brother's missing person case and reevaluates the clues.
2. She meets the retired detective who originally handled the case, but he is reluctant to help reopen it.
3. The protagonist and detective follow clues that do not lead anywhere until she discovers something peculiar at the detective's house.
4. The protagonist discovers the detective was involved in the plan and that her brother had been hidden in the detective's house all along. She is reunited with her brother.
Powerpoint
The document discusses how the media product challenges and uses conventions of real western films. It challenged conventions by including nail varnish on a female character, which is rare in westerns. It used western conventions by dressing the male character in typical western clothing of a white t-shirt, jeans, cowboy hat and boots. Camera angles were used to convey mystery about the characters by revealing little about their appearances. Frequent editing and cross-cutting were employed to highlight the connection between the two characters and develop tension, as is common in westerns. Western audio and the Paramount Pictures ident were included to match the forms and conventions of the genre.
Production Brief
This production brief outlines plans for a 2-minute opening sequence called "Ready or Not" for a thriller film. It will tell the story of a stalker entering a young girl's home at night while she sleeps. The brief discusses the timeline, roles of the production team members, target teenage audience, and plans to test the sequence through audience feedback questionnaires. It also addresses representations, codes and conventions like dark lighting and the stalker's black costume that will be used to convey eeriness.
Question 5
The document discusses how the filmmakers aimed to attract their target horror film audience through the use of plot twists, strong female leads, and unconventional elements. They conducted audience research to learn what viewers found cliche or wanted to see more of. This informed decisions like including two independent female protagonists. Low-key lighting, realistic costumes, and a dark wooded setting were used to create an immersive and unsettling atmosphere for viewers.
Question 1 media coursework
The document discusses the conventions of horror genre films and whether the student's media product "Apparition" meets these conventions. It addresses conventions related to genre, form, institutions, technical aspects, and how the student's film challenges some conventions. The student analyzes how their film uses conventions such as focusing on mental illness, including relatable locations, ambiguity, and lack of weapons. They also discuss ways they could have better met conventions such as including more unrealism or obvious foreshadowing. The student compares their film to the similar psychological horror film "Kill List" and identifies similarities and differences in their productions.
Evaluation 2
The document discusses how the media product represents particular social groups and gender. It represents teenagers by having teenage actors and characters that are in sixth form, on a phone, taking public transport, and in a relationship. However, it may not relate to some groups like older people, those of different races or backgrounds, or the LGBTQ community. While the opening represents gender stereotypes through chivalrous behavior and selfie-taking, it subverts expectations by having the male character get kidnapped rather than the female character.
Manifesto A11
This document outlines 5 points about what makes for a successful film or television show:
1) There needs to be a connection between the characters and audience so viewers can relate to them.
2) Including an original score or soundtrack adds layers to the film that enhance the experience.
3) Clever writing that takes unexpected turns engages viewers more in the story.
4) Using unknown actors can work if the dialogue and story are compelling.
5) The primary objective in making a film should be passion for the project, not just financial profit. Money alone does not guarantee success.
Forgivness
This document provides information about a film titled "Forgiveness" including the genre, synopsis, target audience, and promotional materials. The film is set in London and focuses on how a wealthy businessman's fortunes change. It aims to appeal to men ages 14-24 in the UK. The main characters are British and represent the high and low economic classes in London. The film explores the themes of wealth, poverty, trust, and how people can help each other in difficult times. It was promoted through posters highlighting the title and themes of forgiveness and change.
Question 5
When casting actors for their film, the filmmakers considered the demographics of their target audience, who were under 35, and cast actors of a similar social class. This included casting a 16-year-old to play the mother and a 5-year-old to play her child. Throughout the film opening, they use conventions like low-key lighting and a slow editing pace to attract audiences to the genre of psychological horror. They also included a role reversal with strong female characters and no male figures to appeal to audiences who wanted to see this. The plot of a child going missing in an abandoned house engages audiences through mystery while differing from other films through its lack of male characters.
Evaluation Question 5
The document discusses how the filmmakers targeted and addressed their audience of 16-24 year olds for their psychological thriller film. They researched that this age group and males in particular are drawn to the genre. The film features main characters of similar ages to the target audience and is set in a rural village to increase relatability. To engage the audience, the film aims to provide both visceral thrills through scenes of violence and intellectual puzzles by including mysterious elements open to interpretation.
Evaluation media
The document summarizes how two main characters in a media product are represented. Jordan's character is similar to Johnny English but with a more relaxed costume to make the movie unique. Millie is portrayed as the serious spy, dressed fully in black from head to toe with her hair tied back to show she is serious and determined. The producers were trying to recreate Johnny English by choosing an actor like Jordan who is naturally funny to contrast with the sophisticated Millie. They incorporated aspects of Johnny English to make the movie funny and added effects to enhance the humor without missing any funny moments. Millie is dressed in black as the typical spy image but with heels to show her strength and ability to do her job as well as any man.
Film opening - pitch
The document outlines a pitch for a film opening for a psychological thriller. It proposes introducing the main characters of David and Sophie through David stalking and making a "mural" of Sophie after their breakup. It discusses using dark colors, shadows, and harsh lighting to hint at David being the antagonist without revealing his identity. The opening would incorporate themes of identity, reality, and death common in the genre through the mystery of the antagonist's identity and David searching for someone, while not revealing clues until later to intrigue the audience.
Audience Feedback
The document summarizes audience feedback from a focus group of 16-19 year old males and females who viewed a film trailer. The feedback showed that while more males than females said they would see the film, males and females who wouldn't see it were equal. More females than males wanted to see the film but males didn't mind seeing it. 18 year olds were most interested in seeing the film. Feedback also suggested ways to improve the trailer, such as adding more dancing scenes and changing the ending shot, which the filmmakers took into account. The moods and emotions the trailer aimed to portray, like sadness at the start, were successful.
pitch presentation
Two girls share a secret about an abduction from their past when they start at a new school. Jess, an obsessive and manipulative student, makes it her goal to uncover the secret. The film will follow teen drama conventions while incorporating elements of mystery. Key characters include Jess, the potential villain, and friends Sophie and Ellie. Promotional materials will emphasize the teen drama and mystery genres through use of the color red and darker tones. The target audience is teenage girls aged 16-24. Marketing strategies will include trailers, posters at public locations, and magazine covers to build awareness.
Media as evaluation
Parker is a psychological thriller film set in a high school. The filmmakers challenged conventions by setting a thriller in a school, which is uncommon. They introduced the main characters of Parker, a popular boy with psychotic tendencies, and Rachel, the object of his obsession. The opening establishes the school setting and Parker's growing obsession with Rachel through his extreme close-ups of her and scrapbook documenting her. Overall, the filmmakers aimed to attract their target 16-25 year old audience by including some comedy, sticking to thriller conventions like music and editing, and making the characters and setting relatable to those in high school.

The document summarizes the plans for an opening sequence to a drama film about a teenage girl recruited by a London gang. It will begin with the protagonist Jay slowly dying, then rewind to show how the characters' stories became intertwined, leading to his death. The sequence aims to hook audiences with a nonlinear narrative, use of sad and contrasting music, and cliffhanger ending to raise questions and demand the story be seen through. It establishes the characters, visual elements including color symbolism, and equipment needed to produce the gripping sequence on a limited budget.
Question 1
The document summarizes the process a group took in developing a TV show for their target audience of 13-15 year old males. They started with audience research to understand preferences. They then researched popular shows in the genre to identify conventions to follow, such as opening credits style and music. Location filming and song selection were chosen to match conventions. Character archetypes were based on common tropes, though they focused on one group rather than including all types.
Opening Sequence Treatment
1) The opening sequence for the film "Underground Kings" will focus on gang culture and the role of a "set up chick" who lures men into dangerous situations for a local gang.
2) The main character Laura will be used as a set up chick by her gang leader boyfriend Kyle, until she falls for a target named Henry and refuses to set him up.
3) Stylistic elements like costumes, music, and cinematography employing dark lighting and shadows will be used to portray themes of good vs evil and convey a sense of mystery.
Film Pitch
This film pitch proposes a teen romance movie about a popular high school girl who breaks up with her boyfriend, one of the most popular boys in school. She turns to her geeky best friend for advice and comfort. Through flashbacks, it is revealed that the geeky friend has always had feelings for the girl but thought she wasn't his type. The girl comes to realize that personality is more important than looks, and she starts falling for her geeky friend. The film's message is that looks aren't everything and deeper qualities like personality are what really matter in a relationship. Inspiration is drawn from TV shows like 90210 and films like Geek Charming that follow a similar storyline.
Q1 (1)
The document summarizes the process of creating a 2 minute opening scene for a psychological thriller film. The group decided on this genre as it suited their strengths. They established characters through stereotypes and relationships. Iconography and editing were used to transition between a happy opening scene and a dark ending. A variety of filming techniques like POV shots, close-ups, and match cuts were employed. Sound design with diegetic and non-diegetic sounds also helped set the atmosphere. Through this process, the group learned about new film technologies, camerawork, lighting, editing skills, and improved their use of camera shots.
Trailer Evaluation
The group chose to make a romantic comedy film as that genre fit their age range and interests. They aimed the film at a younger audience and used conventions of the genre like a breakup and struggle to get over it. However, they put a twist on conventions by having the male character be the one struggling after a breakup rather than the female. They used research on mise-en-scene, costumes, settings and music to match realistic romantic comedies. Audience feedback helped them name the film and shape it to interests. They used Premier Pro and Photoshop software in production and promotion.
Evaluatio
1) The students created a two-minute horror movie opening that uses conventions of the genre like tense music, varied shots, and darkened scenes to build tension.
2) It represents two normal teenage girls having a night in until the phone rings and lights go out, making them anxious.
3) Columbia Pictures would be a good fit to distribute it, as they have success with similar horror films, targeting it to teenage girls on social media and DVD.
