Jamie schwartz presentation
The marketing campaign for the historical drama film "The King's Speech" faced the challenge of appealing to both older and younger audiences for its January 2011 release during an crowded period. The campaign's goals were to position the film as a crown jewel and make it a British cultural institution. The campaign used inspirational, stylish, and British-themed marketing including posters, banners, newspaper ads, TV spots, and partnerships with exhibitors to unite the nation behind the film. The results were very successful, with the film becoming the highest grossing independent British film of all time globally.
Understanding the requirements of pre
The document discusses the requirements for producing factual television programs like documentaries and news shows. It covers several key areas: types of factual programming and their purposes; finance and equipment needs like cameras, computers, and transport; importance of meeting deadlines; personnel roles and pay; facilities and production equipment; materials used like footage, scripts, and interviews; contributors like experts and the public; and evaluating locations through a recce process. Factual TV production requires careful planning in these areas to professionally film, edit, and distribute informative content on schedule and within budget.
Perpocracy Cd
A new album from the hardcore band Perpocracy is now available. The album contains 14 tracks with intentionally misspelled titles related to the theme of being a "perp" or criminal. Some of the track titles include "Echel Perped Me Again and Again", "Pure Perpesion", "Once a Perp Always a Perp", and "Allo Prepei Kai Allo Perpei." The album announcement is presented in all capital letters and with intentionally misspelled words to fit the hardcore music genre.
Stars
This document discusses the concept of stars and star vehicles in film. It provides examples of how early feature films from the 1920s-1940s were often constructed around popular stars who had well-defined screen identities and personas. Star vehicles helped sell films based on the popularity of the star, not necessarily the story. Examples are provided of Greta Garbo and Eddie Murphy appearing in star vehicles. The document asks questions about what qualities modern stars highlight on their websites and how they are "sold" to audiences to build their fanbases. It also discusses whether some current actors make too many similar films exploiting their popularity.
Storyboarding
Storyboards are essential planning tools used in film, video, and advertising to visually layout scenes and communicate how a story will unfold. They originated at Disney in the 1930s and are now standard in entertainment and advertising. A storyboard shows the position and size of shots, transitions between scenes, and rough dialogue to serve as a roadmap for production and guide all involved parties.
Learning Outcome 1: Media Regulations
The document discusses several principles for documentary filmmaking including: avoiding bias by presenting balanced views; ensuring accuracy of content; representing all sides of an issue impartially; obtaining necessary consents and permissions; and following guidelines on payments, reconstructions, and potentially offensive content. These principles are intended to ensure documentaries are fair, honest and protect the interests and privacy of individuals featured.

Mini project
Over the next two weeks, students will work in groups of 4 on two mini film productions focusing on mise-en-scene. Each group member will be responsible for a different aspect of mise-en-scene like costumes, sets, or character positioning. They will also take on a production role like camera operator or director of actors. The groups will storyboard, film, and edit their short 4-minute films in-camera over the course of two lessons. At the end, they will submit their finished productions and planning materials for grading based on effective use of mise-en-scene rather than storyline or acting.
Mise en scene
The dominant contrast is Enid, dressed in bright blue. After taking her in, the eye is drawn to:
- Seymour, who is also a large object in focus. As the other person in the conversation, he is an important secondary focus.
- The kitchen backdrop and appliances, which provide context for the setting of the scene.
So in summary, after Enid, the eye moves between Seymour as the other character, and the kitchen setting around them, which provides information about where this interaction is taking place.
Filming schedule
The filming schedule outlines the plan for Day 4/04/12, including shooting from 10AM to 8PM in Maidenhead. Scenes will include shots outside featuring the characters Edith and Gwenith, with requirements for sex-related props and normal clothing. Multiple shots are scheduled throughout the day.
David fincher as auteur
David Fincher is renowned for his unique directorial style seen in films like Fight Club. His films are characterized by single frame inserts, fluid tracking shots, silhouettes, and low-key lighting. In Fight Club specifically, Fincher uses an intricate opening sequence depicting the inside of the brain and subtle pre-meeting shots of Tyler Durden. Through complex filming techniques and artistic choices in lighting, camerawork, and set design, Fincher establishes a dark, deconstructed world and implants subtle hints of the plot twist regarding Tyler's true nature. Fincher's elaborate titles sequences and emphasis on visual style cement his reputation as an auteur who meticulously crafts every element to serve the story.
200 word synopsis
The document describes an advertisement that will be produced for Nike Mercurial Vapour Superfly Boots. The 1-minute advert will be filmed in 3 different locations - a garden, park, and friend's garden - and edited to look like a single continuous shot.

Shooting script for advert
The shooting script outlines various camera shots and angles for filming an athlete playing football, including close-ups of the actor kicking a goal post and jumping, point-of-view shots of dribbling the ball, medium shots of running and landing with heavy breathing, and close-ups behind the goal of shooting and the ball hitting the net.
The effects of television advertising to society
Television advertising has become ubiquitous over the last decade, with ads shown constantly across channels. However, ads don't always have positive effects on viewers as they are often dull and boring. The BBC is unique in that it is licensed to not show ads between programs or shows.
Technology
Digital technologies are fundamentally changing the film industry from production to distribution to exhibition. Films themselves are being transformed as they are increasingly being shot in digital formats rather than film. Technologies like 3D and IMAX are also reshaping theatrical exhibition. At the same time, new platforms like DVDs, Blu-Rays, streaming, and online piracy are challenging traditional models of distribution and consumption. This technological evolution is both opening new opportunities for the film industry and posing new threats around piracy and windowing of content across platforms.

Big fat quiz
Fight Club is a novel written by Chuck Palahniuk that was adapted into a film directed by David Fincher. It was released in 1999 and centers around a nameless protagonist played by Edward Norton who forms an underground fighting club with Tyler Durden, played by Brad Pitt. Helena Bonham Carter plays Marla Singer. The film was likened to The Rocky Horror Picture Show upon its release due to its cult status and controversial themes around masculinity and consumerism.
Critical approach
This document discusses critical approaches to the film Fight Club including:
1. The film raised many political and social messages around contemporary issues and identity. It questioned concepts of ownership and what it means to lose everything.
2. The film was highly controversial and debated when it was released in 1999. It touched on issues that resonated widely but was also criticized as irresponsible.
3. Marketing the film presented difficulties given its unconventional themes. Different strategies were tested including marketing it as an art film or tying it to WWE broadcasts to target certain audiences.
Narrator and marla’s transformation
The document analyzes how the characters of Jack and Marla transform throughout the movie Fight Club. Jack starts off exhibiting stereotypically feminine traits like caring about home decor, crying at support groups, and following Marla's lead. Marla enters exhibiting masculine traits like recklessness. As Jack meets Tyler and their alter ego emerges, he takes on more masculine traits while Marla faces her femininity through a breast lump scare. By the end of the movie, both characters have essentially switched traits, with Jack becoming assertive and violent while Marla becomes softer and caring.
Marla
The document discusses Marla Singer's role in the novel and film Fight Club. It argues that Marla represents both destruction and desire for the narrator. While she disrupts his lies about attending support groups, her presence also allows him to fully commit to another person for the first time. The film focuses on how the narrator's discovery of Marla as a source of desire emerges when facing his greatest fears and pain during destructive moments. Their relationship challenges traditional gender constructs in the story.
Masculinity in fIght Club
