For the magazine cover, the creator chose another main character image and added a masthead, cover lines, reviews, and other elements common to magazines to promote the film.
Sub-genres of Sci-Fi
The document discusses several common sub-genres of science fiction including time travel stories, alternative history fiction, stories about superhumans, apocalyptic fiction, and space opera. Time travel stories explore changing the past or future through time machines or other devices, while alternative history fiction presents hypothetical scenarios where major historical events turned out differently. Superhuman stories focus on humans with enhanced abilities and how they are viewed by society. Apocalyptic fiction portrays the end of civilization through global disasters. Space opera features heroic adventures set among the stars.
Conventions of Sci-Fi Film Magazine Covers
The document analyzes conventions used on science fiction (sci-fi) film magazine covers. It discusses four magazine covers and common elements like including blue colors and futuristic fonts to hint at the sci-fi genre. The covers feature main characters with direct eye contact or "gazes" at the viewer and stick to consistent color schemes for the fonts. Information about what is inside the magazine relating to sci-fi films or Marvel characters is also typically included to draw readers' interest.
Filming Pics
The document describes a school film project where students filmed an actress portraying a time traveler at different locations. They filmed her examining a time-traveling necklace from various angles at the school drama studio, then filmed a close-up of her spinning the necklace to suggest traveling through time. Additional scenes were filmed of her walking through changing backgrounds at school and using apparent psychic powers near a train.
Actor Release Forms
This document contains two actor release forms, one for actors over 18 featured in a trailer and another separate form for an actress under 18 that must get permission from her parents before being filmed for the trailer since she is a minor.
Storyboard for Trailer
The document is a storyboard for a trailer that includes Michelle, Anisah, and Sujata. It outlines scenes involving the three characters and likely events or dialogue to showcase in a movie preview. In a concise manner, the storyboard would help filmmakers plan shot sequencing and content for an engaging trailer.
Target Audience
The document analyzes IMDb data for four sci-fi films - Children of Men, Interstellar, Alien, and Elysium - to determine their target audiences. It finds that for all four films, significantly more males voted than females, with the main audience being males aged 18-29. Children of Men, Interstellar, and Alien were most popular with this demographic and had higher ratings, while Elysium was the least popular and had lower ratings. In conclusion, the target audience for sci-fi films tends to be young adult males.
Sound in Film Trailers
The document analyzes sound elements in movie trailers for The Matrix, Iron Man, and Chappie. It discusses the use of dialogue to introduce characters and the plot, voiceovers to set the scene, music to build tension or hint at genres, and sound effects to emphasize action. Music is often calm at first but gets louder and tenser towards the end of trailers to build excitement. Dialogue and voiceovers help audiences understand the synopsis and characters.
How did you attract/address your audience?
Our media product aimed to address teenagers' current fears of the supernatural by creating a horror film. Towards the end, individually blown out candles were shown to appeal more to female audiences, while filming in the dark and using tense music and a climactic build up created an atmosphere of fear for all audiences. A ghostly face shown in a window in the middle was included to symbolize a presence and make audiences feel uncomfortable, drawing on tropes of the supernatural horror genre.
Shooting Schedule
The document provides a shooting schedule and job list for a film shoot with four people. It lists December 21st, 23rd and January 3rd as filming days, and assigns make up, still camera, shaky camera and acting jobs to Meggie, Nicole, Michelle and Sarah.
Storyboard - Horror Film Opening
Nicole, Meggie, Michelle, and Sarah are planning a storyboard. The four friends are collaborating on creating a storyboard, which is a visual representation of the key scenes and events in a film or video project. Their storyboard will help outline and organize the major plot points and visuals for their upcoming project.
Producers and Distributors of Horror Films
Horror films are produced by production companies like Rogue Pictures and Twisted Pictures, known for films like Seed of Chucky and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. These films are then distributed to audiences by distributors such as Lionsgate, famous for Cabin in the Woods, and Hammer Films, which has distributed Woman in Black in the UK. Individual horror films may be produced by multiple companies and distributed across different regions by separate distributors, like Sinister and Carrie.
Sound in film openings
This document discusses different types of sounds that are commonly used in film openings, including music, silence, diegetic/non-diegetic sounds, theme music, and dialogue/voiceovers. Music is often used to set the mood of a film, with tense music for horror and happy music for comedy. Some films feature diegetic sounds that become non-diegetic, like a typewriter sound in Atonement. Theme music can establish mood and era, like the western theme indicating the 1880s setting. Voiceovers are also used to connect audiences with characters' thoughts and feelings.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

A similarity in these films is that the main character that is affected is a child which is because they are more vulnerable and prone to becoming possessed.
