This document discusses how the media product represents particular social groups. It represents both males and females as thrillers with an obsessive character could appeal to both. However, it is aimed more at girls as the storyline of obsession could resonate more with them. It also represents young adults and students through the main character Anna who is a 22-year-old student. The locations and clothing are meant to represent and be relatable to teens and young adults as the settings are outside buildings and flats and Anna wears casual clothing.

4) who would the audience be for your media product?
The film aims its audience at teenagers ages 15-17 as its content does not include sexual content but could be seen as too scary for younger children. While it may appeal more to male teenagers due to its thriller genre, the inclusion of a female main character could also appeal to female viewers. Thrillers in general attract a wide audience, and the film's depiction of a kidnapping plot mirrors the popular film "Taken," further widening its potential appeal. The film's characters and their middle-class depictions through clothing would most attract middle-class viewers as well. Overall, the film is targeted at and most likely to attract teenage to young adult audiences.

This film explores the topic of drug use among college students, representing the main character as a lonely student waiting for a secret message about drugs through props like textbooks, a student ID, and location shots on a college campus.

Evaluation 1
This document summarizes how the media product "39 Weeks" uses and develops the conventions of the drama genre. It uses emotional themes like drug addiction, racial prejudice, and characters in conflict. It shows an extreme side of teenage pregnancy by having the protagonist smoke while underage. It develops the genre further by making the film about the protagonist's journey of sorting her life out after realizing her responsibility, rather than a typical realization at the end. The film also draws similarities to "KiDULTHOOD" through a scene of the protagonist walking alone with music, emphasizing the drama genre. It aims to challenge expectations by contrasting the protagonist's personality and appearance with her surroundings and home.

Both characters belong to the social group of a teenage girl struggling with insomnia.
Question 5
The document contains the results of a survey asking people ages 12 and above what they would like to see in a horror/thriller film. The survey received responses from 5 people with ages ranging from 12 to 45 years old.

In response to the survey, the filmmakers incorporated many of these elements into their horror film, such as using ambient lighting, including an evil antagonist, adding a suspenseful soundtrack, including a plot twist, and setting part of the film in an old house.
Hannah's pitch
The document outlines a teen crime drama film called "SPLIT PITCH" about a college student who leads a double life. At school, he is well-behaved, but outside of school he engages in criminal activities. The promotional campaign will focus on depicting the two sides of the main character's life through a split poster, teaser trailer showing his differing behaviors with and without sound, and a magazine cover using lighting effects. The target audience is viewers under 25 who can relate to the urban setting and issues of drugs, violence and gang culture portrayed in the film.
Unit 2 task 2
The document summarizes three different media products:
1) The film Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark is about Indiana Jones searching for a gold monkey statue in South America. It aims to entertain audiences of all ages with its adventure and action genre.
2) The documentary The Life of Mammals provides information about Siberian tigers through a narrator discussing their history. It aims to educate both children and adults.
3) The Fairy Liquid commercial from 1991 aims to advertise the product to increase audiences, targeting women who do household chores like washing dishes. It tells a linear story without flashbacks of a mother and daughter discussing the product.
Evaluation Question Two.
The document discusses a film project called "The Presence" and how it represents social groups. The main character is a 15-25 year old female portrayed with stereotypical vulnerabilities and emotions. Her costume of a striped top, leggings and flats was meant to seem natural and realistic to the target audience. The costume also subtly sexualizes her and shows what people her age may wear daily. The film is then compared to "Scream" which also had a female protagonist victim, with both films having similar storylines and sexualized portrayals of the female characters. A key difference is the fonts used in the title - the document's font resembles an axe cut to seem more like a horror font.
'The Hidden' - evaluation
The document provides an evaluation of the short horror film "The Hidden" regarding how well it meets common horror film conventions. It discusses how the film establishes the main characters and location, includes a death scene fitting conventions as a young woman is killed as punishment for hinted premarital sexual activity.

It concludes by reflecting on the learning and skills gained from creating the film.
Response to the brief
This document provides a summary of the key details of an independent film project. It will be a socialist drama addressing real-world issues that follows the story of a boy named Ethan. After his mother's death in a car crash and his father's drug addiction, Ethan is sent to an orphanage where he is bullied. He eventually runs away after finding a letter from his father, but discovers his father has not recovered from drug use. The target audience is described as primarily white, British males aged 30-45 who will appreciate the complex narrative and themes. Marketing will focus on social media to reach this sophisticated, thinking audience. The filmmaking style will draw from Harry Macqueen's simple, intimate camerawork and editing
Q2 evaluation
Our opening revolves around a 16-year-old male protagonist, Joe. While teenage boys are sometimes seen as troublesome, our narrative focuses on Joe's recovery from a struggle instead of highlighting typical social difficulties for his age and gender. The film represents Joe as mentally unstable and ill through techniques like a hospital gown, medical props, tense shots, and facial expressions to suggest breakdown. A voiceover from Joe's worried mother is used midway to develop their relationship and immerse the audience, while an earlier police radio voiceover implies danger to establish realism.
Ideas for sequence
This document outlines a proposed film about a terminally ill teenage boy who creates a bucket list of things he wants to do before he dies. It discusses the genre as tragedy, proposes titles like "Full Time" and "The Bucket List", and recommends a 12A age rating to target an audience of 12-18 year olds. It describes plans to use the protagonist's bedroom as the main setting in the opening scene and introduces the main characters of the protagonist, his older sibling or parent, and a friend. Details are provided about clothing, typography, and using items in the bedroom to reveal the narrative and enigma of how ill the protagonist is.
How does your media product represent particular social
The document discusses how a media product represents different social groups through its characters. It analyzes the representations of class, gender, and age in the characters of a detective, victim, and murderer. The detective is depicted as upper class through his neat setting, professional costume, and serious demeanor. The victim's setting, normal costume, and obscured face signify she could be anyone. The murderer lives in a dark garage and wears a hoodie to indicate a lower class association with criminality. Gender roles show the female victim as weak and the male detective and murderer as powerful. The victim and murderer's age of 16 adds intrigue but the young detective lacks credibility.
Social backgrounds
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in a media product. It analyzes how the two main characters, a psychiatrist and a client, are portrayed based on their social backgrounds. The psychiatrist is depicted as smart, well-educated and supportive through costume and lighting, wearing smart clothes and being lit with high key lighting, signifying power. Meanwhile, the client is shown as vulnerable and insecure through casual clothing like a hoodie, low key lighting on her face, and body language that conveys unease, highlighting her status as a teenager dealing with traumatic visions.
Evaluation Question 2
The document summarizes the representation of social groups in a student-produced horror film opening. It discusses the representation of gender, with the main character being female which goes against genre conventions. It also discusses the representation of age, with the main character being a young girl to make her more relatable to their target younger audience. Finally, it briefly discusses that the film did not explore representations of ethnicity, class, sexuality or disability since the character was white British and those factors were irrelevant to the plot.

Results of research into a new film
The document summarizes research into a new film project set during the 2011 London riots. It discusses setting the film during the riots to make it relevant to the target teenage audience. The main characters are two teenagers with opposite personalities who help each other - one is smart but unpopular, the other is popular but not smart. Their interactions during the riots cause trouble. The film aims to convey that being popular is not as important as being a good person. Locations were found using Google Maps street view. Research included similar films like Kidulthood to help develop the characters and plot. Research found comedy and horror most popular with teens, so the genre will be comedy drama.
Amy jackson work
The filmmaker created a short film, film review, and poster about a teenage girl named Lola growing up in an abusive home. To develop their ancillary texts, they researched films like Fish Tank that dealt with similar themes of violence and isolation. Both the poster and review represented these themes through imagery and layout. While the combination of products was generally effective in linking their common themes, the filmmaker feels the review could have focused more explicitly on violence and isolation to better tie the pieces together.

A novel high-precision curvature-compensated bandgap reference (BGR) without using op-amp
is presented in this paper. It is based on second-order curvature correction principle, which is a weighted sum of
two voltage curves which have opposite curvature characteristic. One voltage curve is achieved by first-order
curvature-compensated bandgap reference (FCBGR) without using op-amp and the other found by using W
function is achieved by utilizing a positive temperature coefficient (TC) exponential current and a linear
negative TC current to flow a linear resistor. The exponential current is gained by using anegative TC voltage to
control a MOSFET in sub-threshold region. In the temperature ranging from -40℃ to 125℃, experimental
results implemented with SMIC 0.18μm CMOS process demonstrate that the presented BGR can achieve a TC
as low as 2.2 ppm/℃ and power-supply rejection ratio(PSRR)is -69 dB without any filtering capacitor at 2.0 V.
While the range of the supply voltage is from 1.7 to 3.0 V, the output voltage line regulation is about1 mV/ V
and the maximum TC is 3.4 ppm/℃.
Resistance of Dryland Rice to Stem Borer (Scirpophaga incertulas Wlk.) Using ...
Rice stem borer is one of the important pests that attack plants so as to reduce production. One way
to control pests is to use organic fertilizers that make the plant stronger and healthier. This study was conducted
to determine the effects of organic fertilizers with various doses without the use of pesticides in controlling stem
borer, Scirpophaga incertulas. Methods using split-split plot design which consists of two levels of the whole
plot factor (solid and liquid organic fertilizers), two levels of the subplot factor (conventional and industry,
Tiens and Mitraflora), and four levels of the sub-subplot factor of conventional and industry (5, 10, 15, 20
tonnes/ha), and one level of the sub-subplot factor of Tiens and Mitraflora (each 2 ml/l). Based on the results
Statistical analysis there were no significant differences among treatments and this shows that the use of organic
fertilizers that only a dose of 5 tonnes/ha is sufficient available nutrients that make plants more robust and
resistant to control stem borer, besides that can reduce production costs and friendly to the environment when
compared with using inorganic fertilizers.
Structural aspect on carbon dioxide capture in nanotubes
In this work we reported the carbon dioxide adsorption (CO2) in six different nanostructures in order
to investigate the capturing capacity of the materials at nanoscale. Here we have considered the three different
nanotubes including zinc oxide nanotube (ZnONT), silicon carbide nanotube (SiCNT) and single walled carbon
nanotube (SWCNT). Three different chiralities such as zigzag (9,0), armchair (5,5) and chiral (6,4) having
approximately same diameter are analyzed. The adsorption binding energy values under various cases are
estimated with density functional theory (DFT). We observed CO2 molecule chemisorbed on ZnONT and
SiCNT’s whereas the physisorption is predominant in CNT. To investigate the structural aspect, the tubes with
defects are studied and compared with defect free tubes. We have also analyzed the electrical properties of tubes
from HOMO, LUMO energies. Our results reveal the defected structure enhance the CO2 capture and is
predicted to be a potential candidate for environmental applications.
A fast and effective impulse noise filter
In order to eliminate the high density salt and pepper noise effectively in the image, this paper
proposes a new algorithm that can eliminate the noise .Other similar algorithms need to adjust the filtering
window in the image which is polluted by different concentration of noise constantly. The proposed algorithm
use the fixed small scale of filtering window only, at the same time of filter, it can reserve the detail of the image
features well. The proposed algorithm extracted the noise points from the contaminated image firstly, according
to the relationship between the gray value of signal points and noise points, then determine which is the real
noise. The experimental results show us that the proposed algorithm achieved satisfactory result in filter out
noise, especially in the treatment of the images that have high levels of noise pollution, and it is better than
other algorithm.

Mobile cloud computing in light of the increasing popularity among users of mobile smart
technology which is the next indispensable that enables users to take advantage of the storage cloud computing
services. However, mobile cloud computing, the migration of information on the cloud is reliable their privacy
and security issues. Moreover, mobile cloud computing has limitations in resources such as power energy,
processor, Memory and storage. In this paper, we propose a solution to the problem of privacy with saving and
reducing resources power energy, processor and Memory. This is done through data encryption in the mobile
cloud computing by symmetric algorithm and sent to the private cloud and then the data is encrypted again and
sent to the public cloud through Asymmetric algorithm. The experimental results showed after a comparison
between encryption algorithms less time and less time to decryption are as follows: Blowfish algorithm for
symmetric and the DSA algorithm for Asymmetric. The analysis results showed a significant improvement in
reducing the resources in the period of time and power energy consumption and processor.

Similar to How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Evaluation question 2
The document discusses how a media product represents teenagers as the target social group. It uses a typical teenage girl as the sole character so as not to represent any particular social group or exclude others. Scenes were designed to be relatable to a teenage/young adult audience by portraying the character home alone like many of them after school. The mise-en-scene of her bedroom and clothes were crafted to depict a stereotypical "girly girl" teenager to match thriller conventions and engage the intended young audience.
Diffrence in social groups.
The document discusses how social groups are represented in the opening of a film through various elements of mise-en-scene including location, characters, costumes, age, gender, and ethnicity. It notes that the location of a lower class shopping area helps portray the characters' social class. The aggressive behavior of one character helps identify her as being from a lower status background. Including both male and female characters of various ages broadens the potential audience. Representing different ethnicities could make the film feel more relatable to diverse cultures.
Q2
The document discusses a film project focusing on teenagers. It will feature a main character who is an average teenage girl who finds herself attacked alone in a remote location. To represent teenagers, the film will show different styles of clothing, colors, and locations. The main character wears black leggings, a long white shirt, and brown/white coat, reflecting typical teenage girl fashion. Her plain white shirt and isolated setting convey innocence and vulnerability. The film also aims to subvert gender stereotypes by initially showing the male as powerful but ending with the female overpowering him. It will portray social classes through the attacker's plain clothes versus the protagonist's wealthier outfit. While reinforcing stereotypes of teenage girl insecurity, the
Q2 final evaluation
Our main character is a typical teenage girl who finds herself approached and apparently attacked by a hooded figure in a remote location. Her style of clothing, including a white t-shirt and brown coat, aims to portray her innocence and insecurity to the target teenage audience. The desolate railway arch location was chosen to show that an attack could occur without witnesses. While the film initially presents typical gender stereotypes of the powerful male attacker and vulnerable female, it subverts expectations by showing the female walking away unharmed while the male lies unconscious, challenging the stereotype of teenage girls always needing rescue. Class is also depicted, with the working class attacker wearing basic clothing compared to the protagonist's wealthier appearance.

The document discusses a student group's thriller film project where they aimed to both challenge and follow genre conventions. They challenged conventions through unconventional lighting and color in the opening sequence. They followed conventions through camera movements that created tension. The group represented teenagers as irresponsible through a character who acts as a "ring leader" without considering consequences. Through the project, the student learned about filmmaking techniques, the process of film distribution, and gained knowledge on shots, sounds, and rules to construct an effective opening sequence.
Question 2
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in media products. It analyzes the representation of the family, gender, and characters in the thriller film "Grounded". The family is portrayed as nuclear and middle-class. Gender stereotypes are both played on and subverted throughout the film. The mystery caller's identity is kept secret to drive the plot forward.
Question 2
This document summarizes how different social groups are represented in a title sequence, including:
- Gender: The protagonist is a vulnerable male victim, challenging stereotypes of females typically portrayed as weak.
- Age: The protagonist is an 18-year-old boy and the antagonist is a 13-year-old girl, challenging expectations of older individuals as threats.
- Social class: The protagonist is portrayed as working class through a casual, subtle costume to engage the majority working class audience.
Task 2
The document discusses the representation of characters in a film product. The female characters represent young, lower-middle class British teenage girls who socialize together. The male character is meant to be disliked as the antagonist and his face is hidden to add mystery. Close-ups were used with the female characters to engage the audience but the male character's face was hidden. Props like drinks and cigarettes help convey the idea of the teenagers being naughty. The characters generally reinforce social stereotypes but some changes were made to suit the target age group.
Question 1 & 2 evaluation new
This document discusses the representation of social groups in a media production and how stereotypes were both challenged and reinforced. It aimed to subvert stereotypes of women as weak by making the protagonist a strong, independent female. However, it unintentionally relied on negative stereotypes by portraying the antagonists as black males due to time pressures. In the future, the creator would choose antagonists from groups less prone to stereotyping to better achieve the goal of challenging stereotypes. They also realized they over-relied on showing the female protagonist as worried about her boyfriend.
Media
Our film represents late teens (16+), particularly females, as it focuses on peer pressure and where that can lead. The protagonist, Rosie, is a middle-class 17-25 year old girl who gets involved with the wrong social group and her life spirals out of control without her family's knowledge. Scenes in a cafe show Rosie being judged by her peers, particularly her selfish and bullying friend Imogen. The film portrays stereotypical teenagers as rebellious and irresponsible through scenes where Rosie ignores her mother's advice and acts recklessly at a party due to peer pressure. Props and music were chosen to appeal to a younger audience and portray the social group Rosie has become involved in

The document discusses conventions used in thriller genres for camera work, lighting, sound, and editing. It also discusses using color connotations and symbolism in costuming. The group created a horror/thriller opening by researching these techniques from film trailers. They storyboarded locations, characters, and planned camera angles and movements to develop suspense and mystery without revealing details of the plot.
Q1,2 and 6 for media evaluation
The opening sequence conforms to conventions of supernatural horror genre through the use of stock characters, plot, location, sound, and visual elements. Specifically, it features a young American female protagonist and an antagonist in the form of a disturbed spirit. While conforming to genres tropes, the sequence also challenges some conventions through its use of graphic violence and an enigmatic female antagonist meant to subvert patriarchal norms. The sequence largely represents young white Americans but also explores cultural binaries between Western and Japanese cultures. Through its production, the group learned how to use technologies like Premiere, After Effects, and social media to construct media products and engage audiences.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?
- 1. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
- 3. This is the closest character which I have found that is closely related to our storyline and character in various ways. Anna is a 22 year old student who is suffering at the moment someone who is insanely obsessed with only knowing her for a couple of weeks. In the film P2, a young woman who has become a businesswoman realises that she has someone who is completely obsessed with her. He traps her in a lobby underneath her office. Similarly we used an office so Jack and Anna see each other because this movie gave us a great way to get into the real action. Angela (character in P2) behind a wall in the same way we did to avoid the predator. From these images you can see how they seem like duplicates as they’re both hiding from their enemies.
- 4. Gender This media product represent particular social group through gender as both males and females would love to see both films, for a lot of reasons. For examples both films are thrillers with an obsessive character. But mostly I believe that girls would prefer this product more. The reason for this is because other girls could go through with this type of situation or has someone been obsessed with them. Girls mostly like the pop group One Direction and have been through obsession with them, this is similar to our movie because Jack is obsessed with Anna. Her vacancy also represents social groups because most of our audience are probably in education. Clothing This represents our social group as Anna is wearing casual clothing.
- 5. Social groups Our media product is mostly aimed at teens and young adults. Preferable social groups for our product would be girls. Also the locations we have chosen are closely related to the social group we prefer, for this we have chosen areas outside a building and flats. Language The language used relates so much to our chosen social group. They have the same language they speak, understandable language. ‘If I cant have you no-one can have you’ this is easily understand.
