Question 1
The document discusses how the media product uses and challenges conventions of real media. It summarizes that the music video takes inspiration from the TV show "Skins" in its shots of a woodland setting and portrayal of drug use. It uses cinematography conventions like close-ups but aims to create its own style. It challenges the convention of the woods setting by using a club with dance routines. It also develops the idea of a lonely male character having flashbacks through close-ups and shots showing his thoughts. Overall, it supports Steve Neale's theory that audiences enjoy genre repetition and differences.

We developed the idea of using rapidly accelerating non-diegetic sounds like the iconic Jaws theme music. For our film, we used a heartbeat sound that got faster as the main character was abducted. This created tension through applying the same principles as the Jaws score to our own film.
Genre Presentation concerning music videos.
Genre conventions are important for the media industry to minimize financial risk while also providing audiences with a sense of familiarity and pleasure. However, completely relying on formulas can cause audiences to lose interest. As a result, there is a balance between industry profit and audience enjoyment that is achieved by both repeating and challenging conventions. Hybrid genres that combine elements of two or more styles can also attract wider audiences while subgenres target niche interest groups.

EuropaCorp would be a good fit to distribute our film because they have successfully distributed similar fast-paced action thriller films in the past like Taken and the Transporter trilogy. These films grossed over $226 million, $44 million, $85 million, and $109 million respectively at the box office. Since EuropaCorp has experience distributing comparable genre films that performed well financially, they would be able to maximize profits from our film.

Our company is called Paranormal Pictures and we are associated with Universal Pictures. We created a poster in Photoshop using elements from a camera picture and font from dafont.com. The blood was edited onto the poster to represent horror iconography. Our trailer targets audiences 15 and older with strong violence and horror themes like blood and knives. The trailer genre is psychological horror, inspired by films like Paranormal Activity and Drag Me To Hell. The poster was inspired by The Box movie poster layout. The aim of the trailer was to create suspense and questions in the audience and make them feel fear for characters to entice viewing the full movie.

With a budget around $20 million, the production company Panic Productions plans to market on social networks and with posters, billboards, magazine ads, and television spots targeting the genre's audience.
Common Information On black and white photography
Black and white photography is gaining popularity due to its unique images that allow the viewer to see the world differently. While some commercial photographers feel black and white removes color beauty, others believe it focuses the viewer on the image rather than surrounding colors. Black and white photography has advantages over color photography like emphasis on shading over color coordination and allows effects not possible in other styles through its grayscale tones.
Q1 media evaluation
The media product challenges conventions of real films by using non-diegetic sound without dialogue, breaking thriller conventions. It also challenges conventions by filming in an urban setting rather than an isolated setting typical of thrillers. However, it develops real film conventions by including certain thriller clichés, such as establishing a church scene and using low-key lighting with eerie sounds to create suspense for the audience.
Question two audience
The combination of the documentary and ancillary texts is effective as the ancillary texts incorporate key elements from the documentary to promote it. Specifically, the poster uses an image from the documentary filming and the radio trailer includes audio clips. This helps provide audiences a taste of the documentary and promotes a sense of authenticity. Factors like imitating previous successful Channel 4 promotional styles and conducting research on those styles influenced the design decisions for the ancillary texts.

The document discusses feedback received from focus groups on the filmmaker's original film "Arboretum" and subsequent film "The Week". The focus groups provided both positive and negative feedback on "Arboretum", criticizing the lack of close-ups which failed to create a connection between the audience and protagonist. For "The Week", the focus groups suggested adding more diegetic and non-diegetic sounds to hold audience interest. Based on this, the filmmakers added a documentary-style voiceover and non-linear narrative. When presented again, the focus groups felt these additions made the film more interesting. Overall, the document emphasizes that the focus groups were vital to the filmmaking process and helping appeal to the target audience.

It conforms by using an abandoned building setting, makeup showing injuries, a tense soundtrack, dolls and fake blood as props, and a teenage protagonist. It challenges conventions by using a white gown instead of the typical black or red, having a female instead of male antagonist, and starting in media res rather than showing everyday life. The narrative confronts some theories but conforms to others regarding characters.
Media convention gb
This document discusses how a media product uses conventions of horror movie genres. It provides examples of three horror movie opening scenes analyzed - The Ghost Ship and The Ring. Both films use conventions such as dark isolated settings, synchronous sound to build tension, and jump cut editing to create drama. The analysis explains how the media product incorporates similar iconography and techniques to create atmosphere, but also challenges conventions through the use of close-ups and asynchronous sound to build tension and realism.
Evaluation Q2
The document discusses the production aims and effectiveness of ancillary texts for a crime/thriller film project. The film aimed to be a socially realist genre film that had seriousness but also charm. The poster aimed to depict the film's themes and genres through altering an image to show a character with two sides to their face. The radio trailer used music and quotes from the film to create juxtaposition and reflect the film's themes. In conclusion, the poster and radio trailer were deemed effective in representing and promoting the film.
Evaluation simona
The document evaluates the opening sequence of a student film project. It discusses how the sequence uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real film openings. It analyzes the use of settings, genre, characters, and titles. It also discusses developing shots and titles to accommodate credits. The document reflects on representing social groups, attracting target audiences, and technologies learned through constructing the opening, including Final Cut Express and GarageBand.
Question 1
The document discusses conventions used in horror film posters, magazines, and trailers. It explains that the posters and magazine were designed to adhere to typical horror genre conventions like dark colors, grainy images, and scary eye-catching visuals in order to target their intended 18+ audience. The film trailer was meant to both stick to conventions like fast editing, handheld camerawork, and forest settings, as well as challenge conventions by using elements like a journal/spellbook, reversing a happy song for the climax, and combining scary imagery with upbeat music. The purpose was to create a hybrid genre that was unusual while still unsettling the audience.
Genre conventions
This document discusses genre conventions and how the filmmakers used conventions in their horror movie. Genre conventions are typical plot, character, setting or visual tropes within a genre that signify to audiences what kind of story they are watching. The filmmakers conducted research that found audiences expect suspense, spirits, ghosts and haunted buildings in horror. Their movie included demonic imagery, a possessed character, an empty school setting at night, and a supernatural killer to adhere to horror conventions. While conventions appeal to wide audiences and commercial success, they also challenged some by not following a "final girl" trope and suggesting a female killer atypical in mainstream horror.
My media evaluation
The document provides an evaluation of the filmmaker's media product titled "Schizo". It discusses various conventions used in the opening title sequence and throughout the film that make it similar to other psychological dramas. These include using white titles on a black background and including a quote at the beginning. It also establishes mystery and raises questions for the audience. The document discusses the representation of social groups, institutions that might distribute the film, the intended audience, and technologies learned through the process.
Media Pitch
Blumhouse Productions would be an ideal production company for the film "Lullaby" due to their success in the horror genre with films like Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and The Purge. Blumhouse emphasizes low-budget films, making Lullaby a good fit. Partnering with Blumhouse could also allow the film to partner with major studios like Lionsgate, Paramount, and Universal. The target audience for the film's trailer is identified as young adults aged 18-22 of both genders, as research found they enjoy watching films at home and in theaters, and their favorite genre is psychotic thriller/horror.

Presentation 7
The document compares the learning from a preliminary task to a full product task in developing a film. For the preliminary task, the document records that only simple dialogue was recorded using a microphone without any added non-diegetic sound in post-production to enhance horror or tension. For the main task, the document records that both diegetic and non-diegetic sound was recorded along with dialogue for characters, and non-diegetic post-production music was added using programs like Logic Pro and GarageBand to create tension with sounds like heartbeats.
Media question 7.2

Media evaluation 2
This document discusses how a media product represents certain social groups through its characters. It notes that teenage actors are used to appeal to a 15-22 demographic, portraying stereotypical loud and athletic teenagers. The male characters follow gender stereotypes of being boisterous and competitive, while the female character subverts expectations by being the antagonist rather than the damsel in distress. Regional identity is represented through the male actors' use of words like "safe" and "yo" implying they are from London, portraying a stereotype of working class Londoners as common.
Media evaluation 1.7

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Media evaluation 1.3
- 1. In what ways does our media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products.
- 2. Using forms and conventions of real media products. • Our film uses traditional tense horror music such as the heartbeat sound and loud sudden sounds to set an atmosphere for the audience.
- 3. Using forms and conventions of real media products. • Our film also uses the effect of lighting effectively by portraying sections of the film at night to develop feelings of fear for the audience and portrays the main character defeated in a dark room which shows an element of terror.
- 4. Developing forms and conventions of real media products • We developed the idea of the well know sound of the jaws attack music to incorporate into our own film. Using the same basic principle of rapidly accelerating non diegetic sound which, in our case, was a heartbeat sound with which we were able to create a tense atmosphere as the main character gets abducted.
- 5. Challenging forms and conventions of real media products. • As a general rule within our film we followed the genre conventions of the horror franchise however and our own audience feedback. However: We did stray from the usual horror movie convention of using makeup such as blood to: A) Keep to our tight student budget B) Use the teams individual skill to use editing, lighting, camera angles and diegetic and non diegetic sound to create the feelings we wanted the viewer to develop.
