Legal and ethical issues
Lauren Whyte discusses several legal and ethical issues regarding her film Pursued. She believes the film does not break any laws as it does not include anything too extreme, and child actors were supervised. No animals were harmed during filming. The story is also original and does not adapt any existing works, avoiding copyright issues. Royalty-free music and sounds were used to prevent copyright problems. A health and safety risk assessment was completed prior to filming. The film would likely receive a 12 certificate as no visual violence is shown. Representations of gender and youth could be seen as stereotypical but may be broken as the film progresses. Representations of violence rely on imagination rather than visuals.
Legal and ethical issues
Emily Kelly produced a horror film called "Leader" and took steps to address legal and ethical issues. She ensured no illegal or inappropriate content was filmed and that no animals or actors were harmed during production. While the film was inspired by other works, all ideas were original to avoid copyright issues. Free music and sounds were used to prevent copyright infringement. Risk assessments and safety procedures were followed to protect everyone involved. The film could receive a 12 or 15 rating as its messages are educational. It represents how youth can be vulnerable but in a way that educates without graphic violence or threat.
Question 4
The document discusses the target audience for a media product. It was decided the target audience would be males and females above age 12. Research was conducted on the BBFC website to determine what type of footage would be appropriate for this age group for the horror/thriller genre. A survey was also conducted of people ages 12 and older to learn what they want to see in a horror/thriller film. Elements like suspense, scary music, dark lighting, an evil character, and plot twists were incorporated based on the research and survey responses.
Evaluation q5
The document discusses the filmmakers' rationale for giving their film a 15 certificate. They felt a 15 rating was appropriate as other similar thriller films had this rating, and their film's content of death, tension, mild violence and swearing would also fit this category. They aimed to attract a teenage audience as the main character and themes could be relatable to teenagers, addressing aspects of teenage life. They created tension through uncopyrighted creepy music, added heartbeats and sudden blackouts at high tension points. Finally, the filmmakers wanted their small, low-budget film to target a smaller, cult following by distributing through a company that shows similar small films rather than large blockbusters.
Health and safety issues
We obtained permission to film inside a house using the fireplace with parental supervision. Our thriller will not include children or copyrighted music, and all sounds will be from copyright-free sources. It will be certified as a 12A due to supernatural elements. The thriller will avoid discriminatory language, rape, drugs, terrorism, gender issues, ethnicity issues, or disability issues. However, some parallel relationships and power dynamics between characters may be depicted. Safety precautions will be taken as night filming will occur inside a living room with a fireplace set up by experienced adults and fire scenes filmed first.

The group provides details on filming locations, props, costumes, sounds, and production schedule. They also discuss skills learned and target audience for the 15-rated thriller/horror film.

The group identified a potential independent film distributor called Coffee Films that would be a good fit due to their experience with low-budget films. The intended audience was males age 15 and over due to the violent and drug-related content.
Question 5
The document discusses aspects of a film that could attract a young adult audience. It states that casting actresses of similar age to the target audience could make the characters more relatable.

Media evaluation
The document discusses conventions used in the thriller film project. It goes against some conventions, such as having a poorly lit interrogation scene instead of a well-lit one like in "Harry Brown", to confuse the audience. It portrays criminals as arrogant and teenagers as vulnerable. The police officer is seen as powerful and not outsmarted by the criminal.

Ethan conducted a survey of 15-18 year old boys about horror films. The survey found that the fear of the unknown and supernatural are the scariest elements. Most respondents watch horror films occasionally rather than all the time. Gore was a moderately enjoyed element. Younger audiences, especially males, are more likely to watch horror/thriller films due to seeking thrills without real danger. Ethan's target audience for his low-budget horror film will be young males, appealing to their thrill-seeking nature through techniques like POV shots that immerse viewers without needing expensive creature effects.
Target Audience Research
This document summarizes research into potential target audiences for a horror film. It reviews comparable profiles of other horror films that target audiences aged 15-24, particularly females. The document then describes primary research conducted with 3 people aged 16-23 through asking them questions about a horror film trailer. Their responses indicated that scary characters, music, and relatable characters are important for horror films. The document concludes that this research will help make the opening titles scary by including these identified elements.
Glenda
This document provides an analysis of a children's film project. It discusses how the film both uses and challenges conventions of the children's film genre. While it includes typical elements like an introduction to the main character and an ordinary setting followed by a complication, it challenges conventions by having the complication occur very early and not including a child as the main character. The document also discusses how the film represents social groups, particularly older children around age 12, and notes it could challenge stereotypes. Finally, it suggests Warner Brothers as a potential distributor as they distribute similar films for older children and families.

Evaluation Question 1
The document discusses various elements of planning and production for a student thriller film. It addresses the use of original audio recordings for sounds, filming at an off-campus apartment location for realism, and inclusion of symbolic iconography like a blood-stained note and pumpkin to convey meaning and themes. Consideration is also given to lighting styles, appropriate target audiences, and drawing from conventions of the thriller genre.
Proposal form
The proposal is for a 3 minute horror short film titled "Schizo". It follows a school girl named Jessica who has schizophrenia and hears voices telling her to commit a crime and kill a man. The film was created by Chloe Taylor, Joshua Parkes, and Lewis Haynes for their portfolios. Chloe plays the lead role of Jessica, Joshua acts and operates the camera, and Lewis assists with camera operation. The film would be distributed at short film conventions and online platforms with a 12 rating due to an unresolved scare at the end. The target audience is ages 12+ of any gender or race but also short film convention attendees. Legal considerations included copyrighted music clearance and ensuring child actors were not exposed to inappropriate
Certificate ratings
The document discusses UK film ratings and which would be most suitable for a horror film. It analyzes the guidelines for U, 12A, 15, and 18 ratings. A U rating is ruled out as horrors contain violence and threats. A 12A is also ruled out as the film will include gore and high violence. Either a 15 or 18 rating could work, but the 15 is concluded to be best as it has fewer limitations than an 18 while still allowing the essential horror elements the film requires.
Media evaluation

Question 2 evaluation
This is my second evaluation question for my media product, looking at how social groups are represented in my film opening.
Media Evaluation D One
The document discusses conventions in horror films and how the author's media product incorporates these conventions. Specifically, it discusses how the opening scene includes conventions like low key lighting, victims, villains, and leaves the audience with an enigma. Feedback was collected from audiences who viewed the opening scene and found it created tension. The product represents victims and criminals through stereotypes like the innocent blond female victim and hooded assailant. Both male and female characters could be victims, challenging stereotypes. Potential distributors of the product include producers of films like Kidulthood that depict social lifestyles. The intended audience is teens and older.
Media Evaluation D One
The student created a horror film opening sequence as a media product that fulfills many horror film conventions. The sequence introduces a female victim character who fits the stereotype of a "dumb blonde". It also briefly shows a hooded assailant character who fits the criminal stereotype. The sequence leaves the audience with an enigma by cutting to black after the female screams, challenging expectations of gender roles. The student learned about film technologies like lighting and editing in creating the sequence.
FMP:3. research(1)
Here are a few key points about your target audience based on this survey response:
- The majority (over 60%) of respondents like horror films, so a horror film concept would likely appeal to your target audience.
- However, there is still a sizable minority (around 35%) who don't like horror. So your film will need to balance scares with other elements to draw in this portion of the audience.
- Horror fans will expect certain genre conventions like suspense, jump scares, creepy atmospheres, etc. Meeting those expectations will please your core horror fans.
- Those who don't normally like horror may be more drawn in by strong characters, an intriguing plot/story, or if the

Evaluation q1
The document discusses how the media product of a short film challenges conventions and genres of existing short films on domestic abuse. It analyzes three existing short films focused on domestic abuse between females and males. Unlike these, the author's film portrays a relationship where the male can be a victim of abuse from the female, challenging typical gender stereotypes.

The film also develops conventions like blurred sound during arguments to create an unsettling atmosphere for viewers.
Foundation production-legal-and-ethical
This document outlines several key legal, ethical and health and safety considerations for a film production. Legally, the filmmakers must consider issues of film rights, copyright, permissions to film in certain locations, and filming with children.

The filmmakers plan to follow all relevant laws and guidelines to ensure a safe production.

Notes on visual pleasure and narrative cinema
1) Mulvey analyzes how cinema provides visual pleasure through scopophilia, or the pleasure of looking, which stems from psychological processes like Jacques Lacan's concept of the "Mirror Phase" of development.
2) Cinema reinforces traditional gender stereotypes by giving men narrative agency and positioning women as objects to be looked at, reinforcing the "male gaze."
3) The "male gaze" refers to how women are looked at in film for both the pleasure of male characters and the audience, asserting power and control through sight as stereotypically masculine traits.
The gangster as tragic hero robert warshaw
This document provides a summary and analysis of the 1948 essay "The Gangster as Tragic Hero" by Robert Warshow. It summarizes that the gangster film genre fulfills a need in American culture to express a sense of desperation and failure that is suppressed by societal demands for optimism. The gangster represents aspects of the modern psyche that reject modern life and American values. While real gangsters only exist in cities, the imaginary gangster depicted in films represents what people want and fear they could become. The gangster's rise and violent activities symbolize both the rational pursuit of success and the irrationality of modern life, ultimately ending in failure and death.

Examples of broad genres include films, plays, graphic novels, and video games, with more specific subgenres within those.

Financial reasons also contribute to genres, as studios can maximize profits by reusing sets, crews, and talent specialized in particular genres. The document outlines common conventions for narrative, mise-en-scene, sound, cinematography, and editing that define different genres like westerns, romcoms, horror films, sci-fi, and
Model audience needs and wants
This document analyzes how the film "Us" by Jordan Peele delivers what its audiences want. It has two main audience segments - horror fans and black women. Horror fans want to feel scared, and the film achieves this through jump scares, tension, and creating a sense of worry. It uses scenes like a young girl encountering strange occurrences in a hall of mirrors and a family suddenly being violently attacked at home to startle viewers and increase their anxiety. Black women do not often see themselves as central characters in mainstream films. "Us" focuses on a black female protagonist, Addie, from the beginning of the film through to the climax, showing her ordinary life and role as a mother and wife,

Legal and ethical issues
- 1. Legal and Ethical Issues Issue Note Legal Content There is nothing in my film that would be considered outside the law- My film is a horror genre but is not particularly extreme The children that participate in my film were fully supervised by adults at all times and it did not witness any horror effects and only ‘worked’ for a short period of time It does not feature any cruelty to animals Copyright- story I have heard a lot of horror story about doll but in my film I have tried to tell an original story that does not adapt too much similar of any existing book or other source material. So I don’t think that there will be any issue about the copyright of my story. Copyright- Music/ Sound I have used the royalty-free music and sound effect to put along with my video Health and Safety I have completed a recce and risk assessment for the health and safety purpose before filming the video. Which I could use the risk assessment as a working document during my work to make sure I have minimise any possibility of anything going wrong. Certificate I think my film would receive 12 certificate because there are few parts that could make audience jump and scare which contain horror sequences, which can be disturbing for children under 12. Representations- people I think my film representation of gender/ race/ youth and age are interesting as in my film the character that are used are mainly girl/ women, also the use of the character children was shown mostly into every shot which are commonly used in many different sort of horror film. There is also a sub-genre of east Asian which show a different race in the film.
- 2. Representations- Violence/ Threat I think my film representation of violence and threat are interesting because the use of the doll is just like a child, which show the similarity of both. And that there are only violence done to the doll and not the child which mean is less extreme
