Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

Main task pitch - The Escape
1. Pitch for ‘The Escape’
By: Abby Wynne, Demi Finch, Cerys Armstrong & Olivia Walter -
Class JH2B
2. Overview
● Our genre/sub genre is a psychological thriller.
● Outline of plot sequence: Female character (Laura Moore) running away from some sort of danger. The audience doesn't
know why she is running, however as the sequence progresses, we see flashbacks of what she’s running away from - a man
that had captured her and was ‘torturing her’, she then gets to the train station hoping she catches the next train to get
away from him but she misses the train and we see the man that she was running from, standing on the other side of the
platform looking at her.
● They key themes are: Conflict, danger, relationships and crime.
3. Locations
Interior: Inside the house with the room that has the black curtains (only shown in the flashbacks). She will be tied to a seat with
tape around her mouth.
Exterior: Her journey to the train station of her running away from house where she was held captive (so the grassy area will be
shown - bushes etc), reigate train station, the road that she is running on.
4. Structure
Beginning: Start with the female character opening the door and escaping and running away. We see a flashback of what she’s
running away from.
Middle: In the middle of our sequence, the female character has constant flashbacks of what has previously happened. The
flashbacks help the audience understand what is going on. In the middle of this scene, we see the man realise that the girl he has
caught has escaped. He then runs out and tries to catch her again before she gets help.
End: She gets to the train station but misses the train and as the train leaves the platform we see the man standing on the other
side of the platform looking at her.
Dramatic moment/ key event: Throughout the opening scene, the girl is shown to have flashbacks of how she got into trouble in
the first place. This creates dramatic moments for the audience. Then the key event would be that she took part in a drug deal.
This is one of the key events as this gives the audience and idea as to why she is being chased in the first place.
5. Representation: Character
Character 1: ‘Laura Moore’ - female dressed in torn and scruffy work clothes - cuts on face etc. This is because she has just
escaped from being captured by him. She is young and a middle classed female. However, she tends gets herself into trouble.
The female is the main character of the film and she stars in the opening scene.
Character 2: Capturer - dressed in all back, only eyes shown
This character, is a male and is the one who is trying to capture this girl. His face isn't shown in the film very much and isn't
shown in the opening sequence as this is what creates a dramatic effect as the audience don't know who he is or why he wants to
capture the girl.
6. How?
Genre conventions:
Low key lighting
Dramatic music
Character chase - dramatic/tense events
Capture scene
Attracting target audience - 15 rated film - both genders, teens to young adults:
Main female character is a teenager, so the younger generation will be able to relate to it.
It will attract to adults because the events occur because of a drug deal - adult social life/events.
Mood/atmosphere creation:
Low key lighting
Fast paced editing
7. Mise En Scene
Setting: The setting in the room when she is tied up, will be dark with low key lighting to help establish the genre as well as
creating a tense atmosphere. Outside, while she is running away as well as waiting at the train station, there is going to be
low key lighting with a filter over to make it seem more realistic.
Props: The props that we will be using are duct tape, a chair and a baseball bat.
Lighting: There is Low Key lighting throughout the opening scene.
Costume/ makeup: The female in our film will have bruises and cuts on her face and body as this shows that she had been hurt
while she was held captive. As for her costume, she will be wearing normal clothes that are ripped up from her being in a
fight with the man who held her captive. The male in this scene won’t have makeup on his face. He will be wearing dark
clothes as this shows the audience that he is bad and doesn’t want to get caught or noticed. She knows this man so that is
why he is wearing a balaclava so that she doesn’t realise who he is.
Performance and Proxemics:
8. Camera work
We will use a variety of different shots, and they will mostly be up for short periods of time to keep the editing fast paced, to help
build tension. Close ups will be used of the characters faces to help show their emotions and long shots will be used to set the
scene. We will use other shot varieties throughout the sequence to keep the audience engaged.
Particular Key shots:
The last shot when the audience sees the capturer behind the train as it leaves the station - extreme longshot.
We use point of view when duct tape is being placed on the female’s face to put the audience in her position and to help include
a variety of different camera angles.
9. Sound
There will be diegetic sound such as, footsteps, wood cracking, bushes rustling etc - to help keep the sequence realistic. There
won’t be much dialogue, just a few lines from the character ‘Laura Moore’.
Non - diegetic sound: parallel mood music, to help build tension and establish the genre of the sequence.
10. Post Production
Editing:
Filter on top of the video - low key lighting - help establish genre
Flashing effect when transitioning to the flashbacks
Titles:
Characters names come up beside them as they appear.
As the train passes the film title appears and then a black screen with ‘2 months earlier’.
11. Influences from research
The Gift
The Girl on the Train
KIDNAP
Hush- This film is about a deaf woman who lives alone, one night a man who wants to break in notices she's deaf and uses this
to his advantage. He tortures her, taking photos of her and sending them to her laptop, confusing her. This thriller is a big
influence due to the fact that
