This document discusses how the media product challenges and develops conventions of real media products. It draws inspiration from The 1975's "Robbers" music video, replicating shots like the bloody hand but using it differently. It focuses on a single protagonist, challenging conventions of showing full bands. The product also draws from Pink's "Perfect" in tackling depression through narrative. While keeping some conventions like simple digipak designs, it challenges others like not showing instruments in the performance scenes.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Evaluation Question 4 - Gemma Horgan A2 Media Studies
1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and
conventions of real media products?
The picture on the above left is from The 1975’s ‘Robbers’ music video, and the right is from our
media product. The 1975 is an artist I have repeatedly referenced and examined throughout the
research and planning stages, and their music video for Robbers was one of my named
inspirations in the pitch presentation. I found the close-up shot of the bloody hand interesting, as it
occurs early on in the narrative, presenting enigma codes for the audience. As a result, I decided
to use this form in my own media product, although I wanted to lead up to the hand shot as
opposed to beginning early on with it. Instead of presenting enigma codes through the hand, I
used the hand for the concluding section of my media product. Despite using this in a different
matter, the real media product of The 1975’s Robbers gave me the idea to use in the music video.
It could be argued that the intimate focus on
a central character – or two, in the case of
Robbers – is another way I use a form of a
real media product. However, while The
1975 explore a Bonnie and Clyde-esque
character dynamic through their video, the
focus of our media product is on the
isolation of the female protagonist –
highlighted by how she is always alone,
whereas initial ideas of flashback scenes
would have been more reflective of The
1975’s influence on the final product. In
addition, the technique of silhouetting the
central characters against the light is used in
both the professional media product of The
1975 and my media product. However, it
can be seen to subvert this use in a way –
the silhouette scenes in Robbers represent
a happy time for the two protagonists,
whereas in our media product the girl’s
silhouette reflects her own depression.
2. With the exception of the bottom left
digipak, all of the indie rock digipak
back covers are a darker colour than
my final product, most likely
indicative of the genre as a whole.
However, Bastille’s back cover is
another that focuses on light behind
the song names, which is something I
wanted merely because it is the
setting of our music video and
therefore shows synergy throughout
all of our media products.
By not showing instruments in our media product, a link could be made (again) to The 1975’s
Robbers, where the lead singer only sings through a microphone to the girl, not with instruments.
All of this is still within the narrative, as it appears to the audience as if he is singing karaoke or
merely playing around with his girlfriend, and keeps the focus on the central protagonists.
I have also followed the conventions of indie rock digipaks through the simplicity of the final back
covers (that is, the listing of the songs on the album and not a complicated image to focus on). The
four images above are all examples of real media products from different artists within our genre.
Arguably the most significant out of the four is the artist we are using a song for in our music video
– Imagine Dragons is the top image on the left. I didn’t want anything too intricate for the back
cover of our media product digipak, and have therefore used this convention in my final product,
pictured below, as it didn’t provide a distraction from the information.
I have also challenged the indie rock convention of
showing instruments within the video; while rock
videos tend to either be focused on performance (with
rock instruments included or the visage of a live
performance) rather than narrative, or combine both,
my final media product does not show a guitar or a
drumkit at any point – instead, it keeps focus on the
central character. And the performance scenes we do
include all take place within a studio, rather than an
indie rock setting. This challenges one of the many
conventions of indie rock videos.
3. Our media product has also used the form explored
in Pink’s official video for ‘Perfect’, using the
medium to tackle darker ideologies of depression as
opposed to using it merely for music. The strong
narrative focus is something we wanted to use in
our music video from the beginning, and while
Pink’s music is not in our chosen genre, it could be
argued that there is still a link that can be made
between the similar ideologies being represented.
Both characters, in the chosen screenshots to the
right, are shown as being depressed through the
smeared mascara and the bleak expressions.
To some extent, it could also be suggested that
our front cover has elements of the form that
The 1975 uses – that is, keeping the artist
faceless from the potential consumer. However,
The 1975’s album cover for their digipak holds
no image at all, only stage-lit rectangle with
their name. This implies that they are either
recognisable to their chosen target audience, or that they just chose a simplistic front cover. Our
front cover does keep the artist faceless, but there is still an image for a consumer to focus on –
the girl is facing away from the audience and to the light, referencing various scenes in the video.
Our front cover is simple in a similar way – the main focus is
on the typography, which is emphasised by the dark silhouette
of the girl as she faces away from the camera lens. The light in
front of her, from the sun and the calm waves, is focused on in
the music video at several points. We felt that using one of the
central settings of the music video for the digipak reinforced
synergy throughout, despite being perhaps overly simplistic.
I have also used the convention of adding a black and white effect in post-production. However, I
have only used this form for the performance sections of the media product, and by placing it
through these lip-synching scenes it adds a contrast to the bright and dark of the rest of the video –
amplified by the concluding shot of the beach overlaying and cross dissolving with the black and
white image of the girl looking up. The black and white shots are not as dark as indie rock
conventions usually show, and have a blue-ish hue to them rather than simple black.
