This film review summarizes the short film "I Miss You" in three sentences: The film illustrates the heartbreak of a relationship ending through nostalgic memories and somber music depicting the four stages of a young relationship from beginning to end. It uses a fast-paced montage and narration to show these memories non-linearly and conclude in a way that evokes the feeling of missing someone rather than a typical happy ending. Through its cinematography, music, and focus on character emotions, the film guides audiences to understand the meaning of conveying the human experience of what it's like to miss someone after a breakup.

Short film analysis - I Miss You
The short film "I Miss You" tells the story of a young man reflecting on his broken relationship through flashbacks of happy memories with his ex-girlfriend. Voiceovers convey that he is still not over the breakup and misses her. The film uses various techniques like lighting, mise-en-scene, and editing to contrast the flashbacks with his current lonely and depressed state.

Task 2
This film represents social groups in both traditional and modern ways. Traditionally, the female protagonist is shown as vulnerable and delicate, represented by shots of her alone on a swing which make her seem weak. Men are shown as powerful and dominant, such as a shot of a stalker grabbing the swing she is on. However, some shots provide modern representations, such as one where the female takes up more of the frame than the smaller male behind her, implying she has control. Additionally, keeping the male characters' identities hidden makes them seem more mysterious in a modern way.
Short film - analysis
The film Mémorable uses stop-motion animation to portray a man's experience with Alzheimer's disease. Through surreal visuals, we see him slowly lose his memory and his grasp on reality, which strains his relationship with his wife.

Though he loses awareness of nearly everything else, his deep love for his wife is the last thing to remain clear in his mind.

1) One scene shows an elderly man being cradled by a woman, meant to look awkward and comical due to his age.
2) Another scene depicts a couple hesitating during a hug and handshake, then saying an awkward goodbye.
3) The opening credits are analyzed, noting the stark visuals draw attention and the font suggests a modern setting.
How does your media product represent particular social groups
The film opening establishes a romantic genre through a voiceover and music. It uses slow zooms and fades between photographs in a scrapbook to show traditional representations of a young couple in love through different memories - including the couple on a bridge with water sounds, play fighting in a park laughing, kissing brightly lit, and sharing a milkshake in a 1960s restaurant. The voiceover then takes a modern, negative turn by saying losing her partner wasn't her plan, changing the audience's expectations for the romantic genre.
Kill Bill Opening Scene
The document summarizes the opening scene of the film Kill Bill. It analyzes the camera work, cinematography, sound design, and music choices. The close-up shots of the Bride's face introduce her as the protagonist and victim. The black and white cinematography and downward camera angles establish the dark and tragic mood, as well as who holds the power in the situation. The sound of breathing, gun loading, and sudden gunshot keep the audience on edge, while the music hints at the relationship between the Bride and her assailant Bill.
Redraft how is sexuality represented in torchwood
The document analyzes how sexuality is represented in the TV show Torchwood through the use of various film techniques. It provides examples of how mise-en-scene and eye-line matches are used to suggest a romantic relationship between two male characters, subverting the stereotype of homosexuality as a phase. However, other techniques like diegetic sound and shots of people in the background staring are used to highlight that homosexuality is still perceived as weird and not normal. The changing music and lighting further separates the relationship into a mystical bubble versus a reality where homosexuality faces stigma.

Extract from laura mulvey
Laura Mulvey argues that in narrative cinema, women are typically portrayed as objects of the male gaze. Women are styled and displayed for their visual and erotic impact, meant to signify and play to male desire. While the presence of women enhances spectacle, it can also freeze the action and flow of the narrative by provoking erotic contemplation of the male characters and spectators. Traditionally, women on screen function as erotic objects for both the characters within the story and the spectators watching.

The tagline suggests the romance will face difficulties but their love will overcome them. The body language of the couple in the poster shows a strong bond, though a lack of eye contact may suggest disapproval of their relationship due to class differences. Darkness and choppy waves also portend trouble for both the couple and the ship.

Audition application form
This audition application form is for a psychological thriller film being produced by A2 Media Studies students. It is seeking applicants for the roles of a counselor (of any gender), a female protagonist, or a demon. Auditions will take place this week in room PAO8 of the school, and applicants should collect and return the form to the listed media teacher or students. Applicants are asked to provide contact information, appearance details, and availability, and indicate their preferred role and relevant experience. Principal photography will involve 5-10 hour weekend shoots at a student's house for the protagonist and demon roles or at the school for the counselor role.
Camera Shot Types
This shot is a close-up of a subject's face, taking up most of the frame. The subject is looking slightly off-center, implying they are looking at something not yet revealed to the audience. Close-ups effectively convey a character's emotions; in this shot the subject's expression is forlorn and stony, indicating the feelings they are experiencing and allowing the audience to feel connected to the character. The background is blurred with a shallow depth of field to focus on the subject's face, drawing the audience's attention and making the character seem enigmatic in order to intrigue the audience.
Camera Techniques
The document discusses the 180° rule in filmmaking, which states that the camera must stay on one side of an imaginary line between subjects in a scene to avoid confusing the audience. It explains that shot-reverse-shot is a technique used in conversations that follows the 180° rule by cutting between the perspectives of two characters facing each other. Match on action is another editing technique that cuts between shots of the same action from different angles to maintain continuity. Both techniques help preserve spatial relationships and the flow of action according to the 180° rule.
Blind Devotion
The document provides an in-depth analysis of the short film "Blind Devotion" which tells the story of a woman coming to terms with onset blindness and its impact on her relationship. It examines key scenes that establish the couple's strong bond but also show the protagonist struggling with her new condition, worrying it will make her a burden. Her husband remains supportive and helps her adapt. The analysis suggests the film follows a structure of the protagonist overcoming an "antagonistic force" (her blindness), though ultimately she must learn to live with her condition rather than defeat it.

Sleep Paralysis research and my story
The document discusses the author's first experience with sleep paralysis, a phenomenon where one feels awake but unable to move or speak during waking or sleeping transitions. The author researched sleep paralysis and found cultural myths about it, such as Scandinavian folklore associating it with a mare spirit sitting on people's chests. Scientifically, sleep paralysis occurs when one becomes aware during transitions between REM and non-REM sleep, when the body is temporarily paralyzed. The author's terrifying first experience involved feeling a presence and seeing a shadowy figure move towards their bed.
Sight & Sound Research
Sight & Sound is an international film magazine published monthly since 1932 that provides reviews of all film releases, including art house films. It sets itself apart by reviewing more films than other magazines. The magazine and its publisher, the British Film Institute (BFI), are known for polls on the greatest films of all time and documentaries. However, the polls have been criticized for lack of diversity. The BFI aims to promote and preserve filmmaking through the magazine in a fair and inclusive way, covering a wide range of genres and budgets.
Construction
Microsoft Word was used to create the presentation because other online presentation platforms like Prezi and Emaze restricted the uploader from uploading the presentation to blogger. Microsoft Word allowed for easy uploading to blogger through slideshare.com. Photoshop CS6 was used to edit the film still image for the poster by cropping out excess space to focus on key elements and extending the canvas size. Black and white was chosen for the poster to convey certain color connotations associated with psychological thrillers. The presentation format was chosen to mimic film posters and best display the tightly framed film still image.

I Miss You
- 1. Film Review: Based on the Moonfruit Comic, 'Reasons', the heartbreak of moving on from a relationship is illustrated in ‘I Miss you' by Nick L'Barrow's and Anton Sheptooha's romantic short film. With very little dialogue between the two protagonists, the stages of their relationship is shown through a nostalgic lens and somber piano music, chronologically highlighting the 4 stages of young love - the first meeting and the honeymoon stage to the constant bickering and the eventual end of it all. It also condenses these memories into a fast paced montage with a narration voiced by the male character. This leads the film away from the classical plot of a romantic film, which normally concludes with a happy ending, creating an aspect of voyage and return with the moral of conveying and evoking the feeling of what it's like to miss someone - affirming human experiences which establishes a connection between the viewer and the film. The varying depths of field of the protagonists and object as well as music choice and cinematography guides the audiences attention throughout to maintain focus on the emotions of the characters and the meaning of the film. All in all, 'I Miss You' is a short boy meets girl film with
