Finally, it reflects on what was learned about film technologies and production through creating this project.
Media Evaulation - Questions 2,3,5 and 6hiddendepths
The document summarizes the use of technology in constructing a psychological thriller opening sequence. It discusses how the group used a computer to plan, edit, and add effects to the sequence. They used a camera to film the sequence. Through this process, the group learned how to use video editing software like iMovie. They were able to improve the sequence by adding effects and changing speeds. However, technology also presented some limitations, such as not having advanced editing options. The document also discusses how technology helped at each stage of production but also held the group back at times, such as when it was raining and they couldn't film. Overall, the group learned about the importance of technology in constructing their media product.

The document discusses the student's crime thriller media product titled "In The Frame". It summarizes how the student used, developed, and challenged conventions of the crime thriller genre in their product. Specifically, it discusses how they used conventions like dark colors, mysterious music, and not showing the antagonist's face to create ambiguity. It also explains how they challenged conventions by having the setting in a normally safe and busy area rather than a dark alley. The student reflects on what they learned about camerawork, editing, sound, and other technologies through creating this product. They felt they gained skills and understanding of the filmmaking process.
Our media product uses conventions from crime thriller films like "Kidulthood" and "Adulthood" that depict criminal activity and tension among teenagers. We represent London youth culture with grime music and depict drug and alcohol abuse to portray their risky lifestyles. While controversial, this helps attract our target teenage audience by making the content relatable. Through this project, we improved our skills with filming equipment, editing software, and incorporating sound and visuals to tell a story through our title sequence.
Our film uses typical thriller conventions like setting in a secluded forest to create mystery and tension. However, we challenge conventions by making the antagonist a teenage girl rather than the usual middle-aged male. We also film in broad daylight rather than darkness. We aim to distribute to studios like Lionsgate, New Line, and Universal that frequently distribute popular thrillers. Our target audience is 15-30 year olds, as films with similar unconventional aspects like Hard Candy and Orphan appealed to this group. We have learned new technologies like using a Canon DSLR camera and programs like Garageband and Photoshop to film, edit, and promote our project.
The document provides an evaluation of a media project by three students. It summarizes the key ways their media product used and developed conventions of real media, how it represented social groups through characters, and their rationale for choosing to distribute it through an independent British film company called Warp Films due to its low-budget style.
The document summarizes the opening sequence created for a film project titled "The Voice Inside." Key details include:
1) The opening sequence was designed to conform to conventions of the genre by including a title sequence and introducing the main character.
2) Specific techniques were copied from the film "Jennifer's Body" including mentioning the production company in the opening.
3) The opening aims to intrigue audiences and raise questions through techniques like an extreme close-up text message implying a breakup and revealing only a character's hands at first.
4) Shots of the main character holding a knife are intended to position her as the potential killer, going against expectations of a male killer.
The document discusses the process of creating a thriller opening for a class project. It describes how the group researched different thriller genres and films to understand conventions and aesthetics. They examined physiological, supernatural, and neo-noir thrillers. Based on this research, the group decided on the name "Remember Me" for their thriller. They used techniques like non-linear storytelling with flashbacks. Camera angles, lighting, and editing styles were adapted from the researched films to set mood. Through the process, the student learned about filming, editing, and technologies used in media production.
The combination of the film, trailer, poster, and magazine will effectively promote the film.
The trailer uses intriguing imagery and music to tease the post-apocalyptic storyline and draw in the target 15-30 year old audience.
The poster further hints at the narrative while establishing the dark, dystopian genre through imagery and tagline. It will be placed in public locations likely viewed by the target audience.
The magazine cover prominently features the strong female protagonist and portrays the dark theme, helping expand awareness to a wider audience that may not see other promotions.
Together, these ancillary materials work to build curiosity around the film and align with the marketing plan to maximize awareness and interest
The media product is a short opening sequence for a psychological thriller film. It represents young females by focusing on themes of kidnapping, abuse, and "catfishing" that are common challenges for this social group. The main character Iris is a relatable teenage girl living in an urban area. Inspiration was drawn from films like The Lovely Bones and The Room that also involve the kidnapping of vulnerable young women. Cinematography and lighting techniques from Skins were replicated to attract a target audience of 15-25 year olds. Independent film institutions like the BFI and distributors such as Cinedigim or Passion River may support distribution of the film.
As media thriller ‘oblivious’ evaluationAshleyb123
The document provides an evaluation of a media thriller titled "Oblivious" from the perspective of one of the creators, Ashley Banger. Some key points:
- The technical aspects like cinematography, lighting, editing and framing were well-done and helped the video look more professional. Attention to these details improved across drafts.
- The lighting achieved the desired "darker, more mysterious tone" for the thriller genre.
- Framing shots better to ensure the audience can see what is happening helped improve certain shots.
- The theme of terrorism and radicalization challenges conventions by focusing on less common thriller topics but could still resonate with current events.

The document provides an analysis of the student's media product, a psychological thriller film titled "The Run". It summarizes how the film uses conventions of the genre, such as including stereotypical characters, a storyline based on real events, and non-diegetic music to build suspense. It also discusses some ways the film challenges conventions, such as shooting scenes in broad daylight rather than at night. The target audience is identified as teenagers based on a questionnaire, and the film aims to appeal to both female viewers through the main character and male viewers through inclusion of action scenes. Distribution on YouTube is proposed due to the low budget.
The student reflects on what they have learned from their preliminary media project and how they have improved their full project. They discuss planning better, considering the mise-en-scene, and executing shots accurately. They also think about how to keep the audience engaged and entertained.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
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.

2. In what ways does your media product use, develop or
challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
S Our media products conforms to most of the conventions of typical
thriller movies whilst also subverting stereotypical and common
conventions. To begin, in most thriller movies the music is fast paced
to match the pace of the ensuing action. Another way in which we
adhered to stereotypes typical of thriller movies was by the use of
appropriate props and costumes i.e. guns and dark coloured clothes.
We were able to do this as in our research we found that in the more
successful thriller movies such as Inception and Taken guns are used
quite a lot and the characters are often wearing dark clothes, usually
reflective of their personalities.
S We challenged some of the forms and conventions of typical thriller
movies as much as we did adhere to them if not more so. For
example, in thriller movies especially crime thrillers such as ours the
main characters are usually of older age whereas we casted ourselves
meaning none of our cast was above the age of 17.
3. Gunfire is typical in
Thriller movies and as it
was such a standard
convention we thought it
was obligatory to include
it.
Another convention of
Thrillers is fast pace
and we thought that by
incorporating a chase
scene we could best
conform to this.
We also realised that Thriller movies often
represent the mood through many media from
the mise en scene to the weather in our piece
the weather is hot and sunny to match the
ferocity and fast pace of the opening. In a later
scene where the main character is bleeding out
it is dark and gloomy- again to represent the
mood.
4. Our movie was largely similar to
Kidulthood as they both revolve
around the lives of youth living in
London. As a result of this we
ensured that the dress code of our
characters was somewhat similar.
The use of baggy clothes and
hoodies is generic in any movie about
teenagers from London. The ages of
the cast are similar as well. Notice
slouched shoulders of the character
on the far right of the image from the
movie and that of the character on
the far right of our product in terms of
their gait they are the same.
5. How does your media product represent particular
social groups?
S Our media product does not represent any social group differently to how they
are usually presented in movie and television. However, this doesn’t mean that
we have not exaggerated the ways in which the social group we have used is
displayed. First and foremost, the social group we represented was teenagers
of London and we did this precisely through the use of language and gait.
Noticeably, the socialist the characters in our piece speak with is that of only
teenagers that inhabit London. Moreover, the consistent use of colloquialisms
such as “aite” and phrases such as “ I got this” are only used in London as they
are regional slang. In terms of personality and attitude we may also have
shown this particular social group to be aggressive and intolerable towards
others without giving them the opportunity to speak evidence being the fact that
Emz (main character) is chased without being consulted on what was
happening. However, rather than displaying the attitudes of a whole social
group this aspect of our characters would only represents the attitudes of a
smaller group of people who carry out our characters roles in real life.
6. Continued…
S In the previous slide I began to discuss how our media product displays certain
social groups. Firstly, I would like to make clear that our representation of a
particular social group is not fictional but accurate to a small group of
individuals. The social group we are representing does not consider any
specific ethnicity as London itself is a very multicultural city hence our use of
characters of different backgrounds. Although we have not been specific in
terms of class we have been in terms of gender- our product tries to represent
male teenagers of London and not females. There may have been many other
themes we could have considered when trying to represent this particular
social group i.e. Sexuality but due to the nature of our product we felt they were
not appropriate. In conclusion, I do not believe we have represented our
chosen social group positively due to the violence present in our product but it
would have been difficult to create a thriller using this social group and not
doing so.
7. Notice the bent knees of the character in the middle, he is
bopping. Also look at the two surrounding characters that
have their hoods up as well as having at least one hand
above their crotches.
We have also represented this particular
social group as reckless which teenagers are
often known as. In this image we can see
one of the characters preparing to jump
from just under the first floor of a block of
flats which is both daring and dangerous but
also representative of the scale of the
situation he is in as he is willing to risk his
health to get away from those who are
chasing him. This in itself is also typical of
teenagers who are commonly shown to ,
more often than not, get themselves in deep
trouble.
We can see here that the characters are
wearing their trousers below their
waists. This untraditional way of dressing
is common amongst teenagers from
London especially males.
8. What kind of media institution might distribute your
media product and why?
S The type of media institution that would distribute our media would have to be a
major corporate distribution company that could promise our product the success
it deserves. We would also require a media company willing to take a risk on our
product as there are not many products like ours available; our product has
impeccable characterisation and a clear plot. Our media product conforms to the
Thriller genre meaning that a distribution company familiar with this genre would
be best. A distribution company with a track record for success would want to
distribute our product so that they can continue their track record of success in
the Thriller sphere of distribution as our product is both appropriate and good to
watch. Ideally a British distribution company would want to distribute our product
as they would have a better understanding of the target audience than a foreign
distribution company. A British distribution company would also be a more logical
choice as the language of our product is English. In effect,this would therefore
allow for our British product to be distributed by a British company in English- the
ideal combination for the success of our product.
9. Paramount Pictures UK would be a good example of the type of
distributor we would be looking for as they have a track record
of success in the Thriller genre. They have been responsible for
the whole Transformers and Mission Impossible trilogies as well
as The Godfather franchise, widely considered to be one of the
best of all time.
Warner Bros UK is one of the types of distributors we would
expect to distribute our product because it is similar to those of
which they have been responsible for before. Warner Bros are
the distribution company that were responsible for The Dark
Knight trilogy and the well-known psychological thriller
Inception.
10. Continued…
S In terms of distributing our product on the internet we would have huge
reservations about doing so due to the lack of potential revenue in comparison to
doing so on TV or in cinema. We would not object to the idea of distributing our
product on the web after it has exhausted all other media capable of generating
more revenue. Furthermore, when finally doing this we would distribute our
product using YouTube as it is the easiest way to upload videos to the web and also
the largest video sharing platform. When broadcasting on television we would
broadcast on the BBC due to its high volume of viewers and more specifically on
the BBC Three channel due to the fact that it begins operating at a later time
which would almost eliminate the possibility of younger children watching our
product. Moreover, once a video is posted on YouTube it can be uploaded to
different social networking websites such as Twitter and Facebook. Another
essential stage of distribution is when releasing our product on DVD we would due
this after the product is discontinued in cinema and before it is released on TV so
that the product can generate as much revenue as possible.
11. Who would be the audience for your media
product?
S The target audience for our media product would be anyone with an interest
in thriller movies. Our media product would appeal to those who have an
affinity for thriller movies and even those who are hard core thriller fans this
shows the wide breadth of audiences our product would appeal to. However,
in terms of the age group that we would target our target audience would be
refined to those over the age of 13 due to the action and gunfire present in
our product meaning it would be inappropriate for audience below that age.
It is for this reason that we have used the below image warning the audience
that the product has be approved for appropriate audiences above the age of
13 and it is for this reason that parents are also cautioned before viewing this
with their children. Furthermore, the sociolect present in our product would
be best understood by audiences of similar ages to the cast, teenagers.
12. We have incorporated this caution into the beginning of
our video to alert parents that the following video may be
inappropriate for audiences under the age of 13. Movie
rating are there to warn parents of impending content
however, it is ultimately up to them if they wish to decide
and it is in such cases that this caution is required as a
disclaimer of our responsibility.
During the initial research period we conducted a questionnaire of individuals
between the ages of 16-18 and it is based on the feedback that they gave us that
we created our product. From the questionnaire results we were able to conclude
that people preferred to have a male protagonist and a male antagonist this was
something to consider especially because we were making a thriller and by having
a female antagonist we would have to consider whether or not to use violent
scenes and whether or not it would be appropriate to have 3 larger teenagers
chasing a smaller female teenager, this would have also been less effective.
13. Continued…
S When showing our finished product for the first time we did so to an
audience of 16-18 years although our target audience began as low as 13
years of age. The fact that we were showing this to an older audience meant
that if they found anything inappropriate we would have to consider what
our minimum age rating was. However, our feedback was nearly perfect we
were informed that the distribution company was blended in well and that
we had a variety of shots. The audience also liked the fact that our opening
was fast paced and they said that this made it very effective. The audience
also found that our shots were well done and this coupled with the music was
enticing to them.
S We were also told that our product could have been better if our gun did not
look so unrealistic.
14. How did you attract/address your
audience? (audience interview)
15. What have you learnt about technologies from
the process of constructing this product?
S Firstly, in terms of learning about hardware I have learnt how to use of a
multitude of devices throughout the process of making our product. For
example I am now able to confidently use a Digital camcorder. Furthermore,
I am now familiar with how to use a tripod, of which I initially thought was
the same as the scientific apparatus- I was wrong.
S Secondly, I was not familiar with the use of certain software such as Final cut
and Photoshop. I am now capable of doing many things on both platforms i.e.
I can now confidently put music over a video and snip parts of a video out
that are not required.
S Thirdly, I am now able to use Blogger a social networking platform I had
never used prior to this coursework. I can upload information onto my blog
remove it and edit it with ease. I am also now aware of the embed function
on YouTube which allows users to embed videos on their blogs by copying and
embed code and pasting it onto a post.
16. What have I learnt?
S I have learnt quite a lot to do with technologies whilst undergoing this
coursework. I have learnt how to use hardware, software and Internet sites
that I was not familiar with before and I can now edit and create a whole
video myself with what I’ve learnt. Prior to this coursework there were many
niggling annoyances I encountered when using software like final cut but I
found that with a little patience and through the help of YouTube tutorials
these hurdles could be overcome.
17. What skills have I gained?
S I have gained many skills through the duration of my coursework from editing
skills such as cropping music to finding out how to record on a digital camcorder
I’ve had no previous experience of using. Moreover, I can now pace myself when
using Final Cut where as previously I would have taken hours editing something of
little significance and of little length. Another skill I’ve gained is learning how to
put text over a video, this challenged me quite a lot before but once I realised
how simple it is it’s harder to forget how to do it now.
18. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you
have learned in the progression from it to the product?
S There are lots of things to consider when comparing my preliminary task to
my actual product.
S Quality of shot- The quality of shot in the actual product was better than
that of in the preliminary task. This was mostly because of the fluidity
present in the actual product in comparison to the preliminary task. When
filming the actual product we had a tripod and also a roller which meant the
quality of our 180 degree shots would be good. This was not the case with
the preliminary task which lacked in this department as we did not have
either of those pieces of equipment. Rather, we had to do it by hand which
proved much more of an arduous task and was less successful as a result.
S Quality of image- The quality of image was also better in our actual product
because we used a tripod which was steady which meant the images were
not blurred and also the camera we used for our actual product had a higher
resolution. It also helped that we were filming outside on a sunny day rather
than inside as we did for our preliminary task. The lighting was better as well
because of the fact that we filmed outside instead of inside as I’ve already
mentioned.
19. Continued…
S Quality of sound- We used a variety of both diegetic and non-diegetic sound. The most
stand out example of the diegetic sound would be the aeroplane flying over during a
chase scene. The most obvious examples of non-diegetic sound would be the music and
voiceovers. We also found that in our product in the editing period there were a lot of
sounds that we did not need that were prevalent as a result we altered the audio levels
of these unwanted sounds and minimised them to the extent that they cannot be
heard. This was different to our preliminary task in the light that we did not use any
non-diegetic sound at all in it and relied heavily on unclear existing audio footage.
S Continuity- To ensure there were no continuity errors we made sure to film whilst
wearing the same clothes in the same style i.e. hoods up unless taken down during
filming. This made the product flow more and pleasant to watch. However, in our
preliminary task we were not as cautious this resulted in a scene where both of the
characters present were standing and sitting down in conversation within the second.
The tripod was very useful for continuity in our actual product as it made it easier to
capture parts of scenes where characters were turning or opening doors.
20. Continued….
The 180 degree rule was by far one of the hardest things to incorporate into both our
preliminary task and final product. One of which was more fruitful than the other. As I’ve
previously mentioned when doing our preliminary task we did not have the required
equipment to carry out such a shot yet we tried to do so anyway and failed miserably.
However, when conducting our actual product we were more successful as the use of a tripod
paid dividends resulting in a much more smooth and fluid 180 degree shot.
Continuity Editing-
We used many different types of shots in both our
preliminary and our actual product. The differences are
obvious the most obvious being that the match on action
shot of our preliminary task was far less successful than
that of which was in our actual product. We also managed
to incorporate an eye line match in our actual product
successfully unlike our preliminary task which we struggled
in very well.
