FMP Pitch Powerpoint
The proposed short film will start as a normal skateboarding video but escalate into an intense action scene involving weapons. It will begin with a game of skate or casual skating that leads to an argument between the skaters. This argument then turns violent, transitioning from fist fights into the use of skateboards and guns. Inspired by the gun fight in Hot Fuzz, the film aims to create a similar comedic scene through the incorporation of skateboarding. It targets a demographic of 15-25 year old skateboarders and will emphasize sound design and new camera angles to achieve a realistic and fast-paced feel over a 4 minute runtime.
First initial Idea
The document discusses three potential plot ideas for a short spy film as a coursework project. The first idea involves a high-speed car chase ending in death, but filming a car chase would be difficult. The second idea has the spy choosing between work and his girlfriend, which could be easy to film but possibly boring without enough action. The third idea combines elements of the first two by including both action and romance with a suspenseful plot where the audience thinks the spy will kill his girlfriend but he actually kills someone else. This idea may be easier to film than the first while still including genres expected for the course.
The pitch how to
An adventurous archeology professor tries to find the Ark Of The Covenant before the Germans in order to prevent them from using its power to take over the world. The film follows the professor as he searches for the Ark and battles against German forces. Key characters include the professor and the Germans who are trying to acquire the Ark. The film would be classified for mature audiences due to violence and wartime themes. Similar films that have inspired this idea include Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones films.

Various types of effective videos are described such as origin stories, impact stories, vision videos, movement portraits, event stories, advocacy films, and campaign videos. Ingredients for success include keeping videos simple, short, with dramatic momentum and tension.
Assign 20 opening sequence analysis
The opening sequence of the film Se7en establishes mystery and intrigue. Through the use of extreme close-up camera shots that do not provide context, the sequence hints at larger themes involving obsession and the unknown without revealing concrete details. Unusual camera angles and dim lighting further shroud the sequence in ambiguity. The sequence lacks dialogue and uses minimal non-diegetic sound to create a tense, unsettling tone as viewers attempt to make sense of obscure visual clues and piece together the narrative. Overall, the opening teases larger questions and mysteries that will unfold throughout the film through cryptic yet compelling visual storytelling.
TEACHING ENGLISH THROUH MEDIA
This document discusses using media such as TV shows, movies, and online videos to teach English.

Theory intro
This document provides instructions and information for an upcoming lesson on media theory. It includes tasks to be completed by students in groups. The key points are:
1. The lesson will focus on categorizing media theories and understanding basics of theoretical frameworks.
2. Students will be split into groups and assigned different theorists to research and present on, including Barthes, Todorov, and Bandura.
3. Tasks include creating a glossary of terms, and researching specific media theorists in order to teach the class.
4. Presentations on theorists should include their name, a definition of their theory, and an application to a media text.
Simplified theory posters
Most texts presented in media position audiences to support a particular viewpoint through simple conflicts that drive the narrative. Modern audiences have difficulty distinguishing reality from simulated versions due to immersion in media. While genres repeat ideas and themes, they also evolve over time. All narratives follow a basic structure of equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium, and restored equilibrium. Media texts use signs and codes to direct audience understanding and interpretation. Producers encode messages while audiences decode them as dominant, negotiated, or oppositional interpretations. Advances allow audiences to no longer be passive but influential in creating meaning.

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
9
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.
