This document discusses the cinematography and stylistic choices made in a media project. It explains that titles were given their own frames rather than being placed underneath shots.

This challenges Hollywood conventions by using simplicity rather than elaborate CGI. Symbolism is also used, such as a shadow representing a character's split personality.

Viewers are more likely to support protagonists they find attractive or are sexually attracted to, which builds tension and entertainment. Onscreen violence excites young male viewers as it provides a safe thrill from behind the screen while consciously knowing it's not real. Dark humor and ironic violence are also included as similar past films attracted large male audiences.

Lost property evaluation 1
The document discusses how the opening credits of a media product follow conventions of the thriller genre. It uses typical shots and sequencing seen in thrillers, such as establishing shots, shots of a character from the knees down to build mystery, close-ups to show emotion and build suspense, and flashbacks with faster cuts. It also builds tension slowly through the use of slow pacing, atmospheric music, and still shots without animation in the titles. The opening introduces a black male protagonist and white male villain to challenge stereotypes.
Evaluation q1
This document discusses how a media product uses conventions of real thriller films in its opening sequence. It uses a dark background and non-diegetic music for the title to set an eerie tone. For the antagonist character, it uses slow footsteps, handcuffs, and spotlights to indicate he is dominant and has done something wrong. For the protagonist, it uses brighter clips, fragility, and injury to show she is not the villain. It includes close-ups of the characters to provide insight but not reveal too much. It also uses slow fades between clips rather than quick cuts to increase tension. The document analyzes how these techniques develop and challenge conventions of the thriller genre.
Media studies question 1
The document discusses how the media product uses conventions of the thriller genre. It builds tension through camera angles like close-ups showing a distressed character, and a shaky railing shot adding mystery. Editing merges scenes and transitions smoothly. The dark, derelict setting with locked doors and trapped characters builds unease. While following conventions, it also challenges them by cutting between two character storylines to steadily increase tension until their paths cross. Contrasting black-and-white and color cinematography reflects a split personality. Lack of dialogue engages the audience's imagination.
Q1
The document discusses how the creator of a thriller film trailer used, developed, and challenged conventions of the thriller genre. They wanted to appeal to thriller fans by including typical conventions, but also wanted the trailer to stand out through some creative differences. They included shots and elements commonly found in thriller trailers to set expectations, but also took some risks with more artistic shots intended to add complexity and atmosphere. Costuming, lighting, locations, and other aspects of mise-en-scene were carefully crafted both to conform to and challenge thriller genre conventions. The creator analyzed other successful thriller trailers and films to inform their creative choices for their own trailer.
Question 1 evaluation
Our media product uses some common thriller conventions such as including a protagonist who faces challenges from an antagonist whose identity is hidden. However, it also challenges conventions in some ways. The lighting is well-lit rather than dim to reflect the protagonist's desire for a stress-free life. Close-ups are used sparingly rather than frequently. The environment is a busy area but it was filmed at a time when it was not very busy, challenging the typical busy urban setting of many thrillers.

The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real thriller films. It summarizes how the title, setting, costumes, editing, title fonts, story setup, lighting, characters, and special effects were approached in relation to thriller film conventions. In many cases, the media product aimed to develop conventions rather than directly challenge them in order to effectively set up the thriller genre.
Evaluation one
Ring Rosie uses various horror film conventions in its trailer such as low key lighting, over the shoulder shots, graphic text effects, and stereotypical character costumes. It also challenges some conventions by having two strong female leads facing zombies. The trailer creates tension through its quick editing, diverse shots, and unsettling music.

Question 1
Our Thriller opening 'Clean Cut' challenges conventions by presenting religious themes and supernatural wounds without showing an antagonist. It adapts Thriller conventions like showing the protagonist in peril and including crime-related sounds to isolate her. Manipulating perspectives through mirrors and TV effects adds to the supernatural theme. The sequence fits the Supernatural Thriller subgenre through its inclusion of religion and themes of physical pain. The protagonist Anna follows conventions as a weak victim who will overcome challenges. The plain white bathroom location and polaroids used in credits maintain a cold, hostile atmosphere in line with genre conventions. Unusual camera techniques like stop motion bleeding create an unsettling tone.

Evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the media products conform to and challenge conventions of their forms.
For the film trailer, conventions such as logos, taglines, and editing techniques like fade to blacks and jump cuts were followed. However, some conventions were challenged, like including institutional information in the middle rather than beginning.
Mise en scene, shots like point of view and extreme close ups, and a lack of dialogue also conformed to thriller conventions for the trailer. But clothing of characters and inclusion of a montage sequence challenged expectations.

The document discusses how a media project used conventions from real media products in its music video, digipack, and website. Specifically, it used:
1) Performance to introduce the artist and create a marketable star image, drawing from examples like Azealia Banks' "1991" video.
2) Symbolic materials like black fabrics to convey the concept of "control" as seen in Nicole Scherzinger's "Whatever You Like".
3) Artistic camerawork like bird's-eye shots to engage the audience and convey dominance/control as in Lady Gaga's "G.U.Y".
4) Close-ups of the artist to create a recognizable star image and illusion of
Examples of Dyer’s Key Paradoxes
Artists must present both ordinary and extraordinary images to consumers. Beyoncé is seen as both a normal mother and as a goddess on stage. Other artists like Britney Spears and Pink are also pictured doing everyday tasks to seem relatable while also being worldwide icons. Katy Perry presents both elaborate fantasy music videos and more realistic interviews and home life. Will.i.am cultivates a futuristic persona through his music and style but also shares his difficult childhood to seem grounded. Showing both mundane and exceptional aspects helps artists connect with audiences.
Task1 evaluation!
The document analyzes how the music video for Peter and the Wolf challenges, develops, and uses conventions of existing media products. It challenges conventions by having an unconventional use of camerawork and shots that don't focus on the artist's face. It develops conventions by featuring a ballerina to add an artistic element rather than usual dancing in music videos. The video also uses some conventions like close-ups of the artist playing their instrument. The album packaging and promotional poster similarly challenge conventions by having a simple, realistic style rather than flashy computer-generated designs, while still using some conventional elements like quotes on the poster.
Task1 evaluation!
The music video challenges conventions in several ways: 1) By showing the artist writing on a camera instead of using it conventionally. 2) Using more filmic shots of the artist walking rather than typical performance elements. 3) Featuring dancers in an unconventional way not tied to the song. 4) Showing a still performance rather than an energetic one. The album design challenges conventions by using the artist's handwriting for the font and reusing backgrounds from the video. The poster challenges conventions by using an authentic photo rather than edited images.
Task1 evaluation!
The music video challenges conventions by showing the artist writing on a camera and including filmic shots of him walking with no performance or effects. It develops conventions through its use of dancers in a non-commercial way and by showing the artist performing still against a wall without interacting with the camera. The video also uses conventions like showing the artist playing his instrument and through its use of special effects. The album design challenges conventions with a handwritten font and realistic theme while the poster develops conventions by featuring a known photo from the video to promote the artist's style and genre.

My digipak idea
The document discusses ideas for designing a digipak album cover based on a Victorian era royal theme. The front cover concept shows royalty on thrones in luxurious outfits, representing the old being replaced by the new era. An example cover by Rusko is referenced for its urban twist on the throne idea. The back cover example from Keane uses easily readable text in a font that suits the overall theme, demonstrating how plain color schemes can be effective. The proposed font style for the digipak takes inspiration from Victorian era ink and quill markings used in literature of the time.
Cast and Costume
Affie will be the main character in the music video and will wear his typical style of ray ban sunglasses without lenses, skinny corduroys, a baggy t-shirt, clean trainers and white socks. Georgina Morton was chosen for the video because of her striking look and suitable style. She will portray a filthy and rude image while wearing silver hoop earrings, Nike Air Max trainers, a parka coat with a fur hood, a bright high-waisted skirt, a crop top, and lots of gold and silver jewelry including bracelets, necklaces and rings.
Prop research- throne.
The document discusses renting thrones from a prop rental company called Theme-traders for a production. An email was sent to Theme-traders to get a quote for renting golden thrones. The quote came back as £140 to rent the thrones, which was cheaper than making them by hand for over £300. An alternative idea mentioned was recycling an old wooden chair from a previous production and customizing it to serve as a throne.
Props and costumes lists
The document provides lists of props and costumes needed for an upcoming production. It details that a throne or chaise lounge will represent the main character Affie's power as a heroic king. Other props mentioned include an oil drum, matchstick, bicycle, and an arched bridge backdrop. The costume description for Affie includes ray bans, skinny corduroys, a baggy t-shirt, and pristine trainers. The girl Georgina will have a filthy image conveyed through her blonde bob haircut, silver hoop earrings, Nike trainers, parker coat, bright skirt, crop top and layered jewelry.
Pitch[1]
The document proposes a narrative and visual concept for a music video. It involves a one-man band indie artist painting images on a sheet of glass throughout the video to represent exploring and expressing his identity. Later parts of the video would show the artist using body paint and costumes to blur gender identities and question social norms, eventually destroying a wallet to represent losing his sense of self and purpose.
The pitch
The document discusses the creation of a star image for a grime artist named AFFI. It describes AFFI's image as mysterious, dark, and rebellious. The target audience is identified as people aged 18-28 interested in niche genres like grime. Shots and scenes discussed for a potential music video emphasize a dark, minimalist style focused on AFFI's performance to match the personal lyrics.
Shot ideas, design elements
The document discusses ideas for shot compositions and design elements for a music video. It proposes using an oil canister that lights up throughout the video to provide natural lighting. It also suggests using cardboard cutouts of unrealistic but creative human body parts against a black background. Additionally, it mentions using colored bottles with fluorescent liquids as natural lighting to add color and uplift the mood.
Research into real and similar artists
The document summarizes information about several electronic artists - Crystal Castles, Foals, Ghostpoet, and Mikill Pane. It provides background on Crystal Castles' musical style and band members Alice Glass and Ethan Kath. It also gives brief overviews of Foals' genre and album nomination, Ghostpoet's first single and Mercury Prize nomination, and Mikill Pane's genres and producer Jake Gosling.
Britney spears presentation
Britney Spears had a successful career from 1997 to 2011 beginning as a child performer and signing with Jive Records in 1997. Her first two albums established her as a pop icon, breaking sales records with hits like "...Baby One More Time" and "Oops!...I Did It Again." While her sexy persona and provocative music videos were controversial, they heightened her popularity among both female and male fans. After a highly publicized personal life and marriage in the 2000s, Spears had a mental breakdown in 2007, shaving her head. She later adopted a more modest image and sang about empowerment over men rather than love and sex. Though her career faced challenges, Spears remained a prominent figure in popular music and
Evaluation task 1
This document discusses how a media product conforms to conventions and stereotypes. It describes how the magician and assistant uphold the stereotype of male magicians with attractive female partners. It also conforms to stereotypes by dressing the assistant in white to represent innocence, and dressing the magician in a top hat, waistcoat and bow tie so he is easily recognizable. It aims to conform to expectations of thrillers and horrors by placing the innocent girl in a situation where the audience assumes something bad will happen.
Evaluation task 4 presentation
The primary target audience for the thriller media product would be 18-30 year olds who would enjoy the unique and exciting plot and bankable stars. The secondary audience would be older, educated people as the thriller is set in the 1940s-1950s around the time period they or their relatives grew up. The niche audience would be those who like complex, psychological thrillers, and the product would likely interest males more than females due to the portrayal of women in the plot.
Evaluation task 5 k a
This document summarizes how the film addressed and attracted its target audience. It aimed to attract both younger and older audiences by being set in the past in black and white like older films but also incorporating only segments of color like Sin City to appeal to younger viewers. It also aimed to attract male viewers through attractive females and mysteries and female viewers through themes of romance and relationships. The film's dark nightclub setting and themes of magic and magicians further broadened its potential appeal.
Task 2
The document discusses how effectively a band's main product, digipak, and poster combine to create a star image for appealing to their target audience. It analyzes the band's youthfulness, sexual magnetism, creativity, and talent as values that attract a large audience according to Richard Dyer's theory of stars and stardom. The band's young, naive look and simple clothing, as well as lead singer's attractiveness and love song, fit the values needed to market successfully to their target demographic of young women.

H:\Challenging Conventions 9 Screen Grabs
- 1. In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
- 2. This is not the stereotypical way in which titles are usually presented in film sequences. Because we thought that the titles were an important part of the piece we decided to give them their own frames rather than having them underneath the other shots. We also animated them so they actually flickered (like our title!)
- 10. Although on first glance this shot appears extremely simple there is actually a lot of subtle symbolism involved. The bricks are covering the entire frame, suggesting there is no way out for the girl. We used an extreme close up (only) to demonstrate this point.
