Olivia Cribb's film product follows conventions of the independent genre by including up-and-coming actors typically seen in indie films. The opening has an artistic twist like a music video that tells a narrative. Indie films also include obscure plots and quirky mysteries. The storyline includes an obscure plot focused on mental illness that is subtly revealed at the end. Hard-hitting plots on issues like mental illness challenge mainstream media and portray them in an artistic way. The plot was changed to include a journey to other cultures and introduce different moralities. This challenges conventions by not focusing on a particular social group.

Evaluation question 5
The document discusses how to attract a target teenage audience aged 15-24 to a film. It establishes the target audience and uses an intriguing opening with action to avoid losing their interest. The main character is introduced as having a problem and being bullied, creating mystery around her identity. Teenage characters and themes of obstacles they face will appeal to the target audience. A voiceover from the protagonist helps viewers relate and feel sympathetic. An intriguing title like "ID" draws viewers in with its focus on identity and mystery.
Evaluation question 2
The document summarizes the characterization of two stereotypical social groups, a nerd and a bully, in a thriller film. The nerd is shown through his room filled with electronics and toys, representing stereotypical nerdy traits. The bully character is easier to write as the typical rich and spoiled jock that picks on the nerdy kid. Few details are given about other characters to emphasize the isolation of the nerd and play up the brains vs. brawn dynamic between the two.

The document discusses strategies for attracting a teenage audience to a film. It describes opening the film with action to avoid losing their interest and establishing that the protagonist has a problem. It introduces a main character that is being bullied and presents her as both white and black at times, creating mystery around her identity. The film features mostly teenage characters dealing with common obstacles to appeal to a teenage audience. It also uses a voiceover of the protagonist speaking at the beginning to provide insight into her feelings and create sympathy.
How did you attract final
The document discusses the film opening of a thriller targeting teenagers aged 16-25. It began as a hybrid thriller/social issues genre but became more of a thriller. It aims to attract female viewers through the use of props like pink colors and Kate Moss lipstick. Various camera techniques like rule of thirds and close ups of a poisoned cup were used to intensify the thriller elements. Diegetic sounds of a train and non-diegetic sounds of fizzing liquid and a lighter flame were incorporated to further immerse the audience.
Costumes actors-props
The document discusses costume, actor, and prop needs for a music video production. For the main actor's costume, something casual that suggests he doesn't care about his appearance would fit the song's lyrics. Background actors at a party scene can wear their own clothes. The main actor's public outfit needs colorful clothes to draw attention, while others wear darker colors. The document also discusses using Fraser Dart as the main actor due to his talent, and names several other actors that could play background roles. A new, brightly colored pair of shoes is identified as the only needed prop to match the song's narrative.
Q5 media
The film uses indie music to appeal to teenagers and young adults who listen to that genre. It also references other films like The Virgin Suicides and Spring Breakers that had similar indie-focused soundtracks. The main character wears plain black clothes and Nike shoes that many teenagers wear to seem relatable. His tattoo symbolizes rebellious youth, and the inclusion of a skateboard brings an indie element that could intrigue skater audiences. By depicting the isolated 17-year-old protagonist, it aims to draw in viewers interested in teenage rebellion.
Evaluation question 2
The document discusses how a media product represents teenagers as the target social group. It uses a typical teenage girl as the sole character so as not to represent any particular social group or exclude others. Scenes were designed to be relatable to a teenage/young adult audience by portraying the character home alone like many of them after school. The mise-en-scene of her bedroom and clothes were crafted to depict a stereotypical "girly girl" teenager to match thriller conventions and engage the intended young audience.
Analysing a radio comedy drama
This radio drama is called "Romance is Dead: First Date" created by BBC Radio 4. It has a full cast led by Lauren, played by Alexandra Roach, and Jamie, played by Kieran Hodgson.

Effective use of sound effects helps set the scene and themes by indicating when characters are in different locations like a pub. The target audience of 35-54 years old is reflected in the language and themes used in the piece.

Question 1
The document summarizes the process a group took in developing a TV show for their target audience of 13-15 year old males. They started with audience research to understand preferences. They then researched popular shows in the genre to identify conventions to follow, such as opening credits style and music. Location filming and song selection were chosen to match conventions. Character archetypes were based on common tropes, though they focused on one group rather than including all types.
Media Evaluation
The film represents middle-class white males in their late twenties to early thirties. This is because British gangster films typically only feature male characters and characters of this demographic. The intended audience is males from mid-teens to 30 who enjoy gangster and violent films, particularly those who go on "lads nights out". Through making the film, the student learned camera skills like different shots and angles. Editing skills like frequent saving were also developed to prevent lost work from software crashes. The process taught that films require multiple takes and editing can be lengthy.

Elmore Leonard
Elmore "Dutch" Leonard is a renowned 85-year-old author known for his westerns and crime novels set in Detroit and Miami. He has written 44 books and inspired 21 feature films, still writing every day using only pen and paper from his home office. A literary festival is being held in his honor in Birmingham, Michigan to celebrate his work and inspire young writers, though Leonard thinks it focuses more on film than literature.

How to use colons
Colons are used to introduce lists, speech, quotations, ideas, things, or people. They can be used to introduce examples in a list, words being spoken, a quoted passage, a realization, or a sight. Colons are placed after an independent clause and introduce a list, explanation, example, quotation or elaboration that is closely related to the first clause.
Lady Gaga and postmodernism
Lady Gaga uses her stage name to separate her personal and public lives and control her image. She intentionally created an outrageous persona to divert attention from her private self. The music video for "Paparazzi" imitates styles from old Hollywood films and Hitchcock's Vertigo to homage other artists, tell the story through camera angles and imagery, and portray Lady Gaga at a larger-than-life scale.
Project x
The teaser trailer shows stereotypical irresponsible teenagers partying without care or control. A teenage boy addresses his parents from the party, suggesting something bad has happened. The trailer establishes the film will celebrate bad behavior among teenagers depicted without responsibility. Photos from the intense party appear to be documented for memories as the lack of control escalates, including a police camera video of teenagers in the street. The trailer uses stereotypes of reckless youth and appealing parental relationships.
Documentary evaluation
The document discusses the filmmaker's goal of moving away from "The Male Gaze" and presenting an unbiased view between girls and boys in their documentary. Representation was a key focus, with the filmmaker aiming to present all interviewees equally and in a relatable manner. The narrative voiceover was difficult to develop without revealing the interviewee's answers, but drew from traditional documentary techniques while adding a unique twist with quotes at the end.

3) Key elements that will be used include costumes, makeup, and locations inspired by 1960s fashion as well as themes of nature, memory, and renewal to convey the message of the song.
Character Profiles
Joanna, aged 9, was chosen for her striking features which contrast well with the evil role she is asked to play. Her cute appearance will astonish audiences to see such menace from her. Lucy, aged 6, was chosen for her softer features making her ideal for her more sympathetic role. Both girls being Portuguese relates to the diverse target audience. Eleanor, aged 19, was chosen for her acting skills and attractive features, completing what the target audience wants. Her Ghanaian ethnicity helps provide a diverse cast that audiences want to see represented.
Hide and seek poster analysis
The poster depicts a young girl hiding behind a door, creating tension and uncertainty about what she is hiding from. Her dark clothes and the object in her hand suggest something dangerous or evil. The colors red, white, and black are stereotypical of horror films and imply blood or danger. The tagline "come out come out whatever you are" references the game of hide-and-seek but replaces "wherever" with "whatever", suggesting something unknown is involved. The positioning and fonts used for the title, dates, and actors' names are intentionally designed to attract audience attention and create a sense of mystery about the film's plot.
Evaluation.2.docx
The document discusses the representation of social groups in a media product. It describes how the main characters are portrayed as being from a lower social class who have made poor life choices and live in run-down areas. One character deals drugs to represent what negative influences younger people may face. Scenes use dark lighting and locations to portray the hidden, illegal nature of drug transactions. The goal is to realistically represent the struggles of these social groups but also show that people can change their lives for the better.
Pixelate entertainment pitch2
The document outlines a pitch by Pixelate Entertainment for a teen drama film. It discusses researching similar films like Juno and Mean Girls to understand the genre. Research with their target audience of 15-16 year old girls found they preferred a dramatic film set in school with exaggerated characters. Each member provides an individual synopsis, with common themes of a social outcast character in a new school. The final synopsis combines elements, focusing on a counter-typical character's isolation through music and bookends of her alone in her bedroom and reading in class.
Ancillary production pitch
The document provides details on Korima Begum's plans for ancillary products to promote a new artist, Eva Ellis. Korima wants to keep the theme simple and let the music speak for itself. Key words to describe the theme are elegant, playful, feminine, neutral and simplistic. The digipak will have the standard four panels since Eva is just starting out. It will take influences from Mariah Carey, Nicole Scherzinger and Taylor Swift albums, focusing on simplicity and highlighting the artist. The target magazine advertisements will be in publications like Seventeen, Shout and Teen Vogue.
Postmodern analysis
Lady Gaga's music video for "Telephone" featuring Beyoncé exhibits many postmodern elements including blurring boundaries between genres, referencing other works of art, and mixing fiction and reality. The video pays homage to films like Thelma & Louise through its narrative and uses props like the car from Kill Bill to blend elements from different media. Lady Gaga herself blurs distinctions by wearing a telephone as a hat and breaking the fourth wall to give a cooking demonstration, exemplifying the postmodern ideals of breaking down limits.
Postmodern analysis 2
The document analyzes Lady Gaga and Beyonce's music video for "Telephone" through a postmodern lens. It identifies several ways the video blurs boundaries and references other works, making it a postmodern text. These include pastiches of old Hollywood films through its font and setting of a women's prison, references to movies like "Kill Bill" and "Thelma & Louise" through vehicles. It also blurs fiction and reality by having Lady Gaga wear a telephone as a hat and give a cooking demonstration. Overall, the analysis argues the video exhibits postmodern traits through its intertextuality and blending of different artistic elements.
Evaluation 2 (3)
The document discusses how the film trailer challenges and develops conventions of real media products. It analyzed trailers for "Billy Elliot" and "Fish Tank" as examples of the social realism genre and target market. Key elements that align with conventions include similar shots, mise-en-scene, pacing of shots that starts slow and ends fast, and use of music. Some conventions are challenged, such as incorporating more of the story, shooting some footage handheld, omitting names, and having fewer voiceovers to avoid giving too much away. Overall, the trailer aims to match conventions of the genre while also leaving aspects ambiguous for the audience.
Emily Lee - Media Evaluation
The document summarizes a student's short horror film project. Some key points:
- The film fits into the horror genre with a storyline involving a killer reflecting on past murders and approaching a homeless person to kill.
- The killer is portrayed as a woman, challenging the typical male killer stereotype.
- Represented social groups include young people shown through modern clothing, homeless people shown stereotypically, and both female victims and killers.
- The intended audience is young adults aged 15-25, attracted through a young cast addressing modern issues.
Creativity
The document discusses where real creativity can be found in media such as films and music. It argues that true creativity is often seen in independent and alternative works, rather than big budget blockbusters or popular mainstream works. As examples, it cites creative films like Boyhood and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, as well as imaginative musicians like Flying Lotus and Grizzly Bear. While the digital age has opened up more opportunities for creativity, it can also be difficult to be truly original given how much media is produced. The document then analyzes five short films that demonstrate creativity through their stories, visuals, meanings, and editing techniques.

It also discusses Rebecca Sugar's Steven Universe exploring LGBTQ themes, Henry Selik's stop-motion films like Nightmare Before Christmas, and Pixar films addressing deeper topics. The author is inspired by the visual styles of Inside Out using color, an abstract Adventure Time episode, and a short promoting acceptance. They aim to include meaningful messages and evoke emotion through tone and lack of dialogue at times in their own animated short.
Question 1
The document discusses how the media product uses, develops and challenges conventions of real drama media. It analyzes several real TV shows and music videos to inspire its conventions. It uses conventions like realistic characters, minimal characters per scene, and relatable settings from "Coronation Street". It challenges conventions through a nonlinear storyline across various locations inspired by "The Scientist" music video. The film poster also uses and develops conventions from real posters like a layered main image and title placement, while challenging conventions through its dual-colored title.

Media Evaluation D Two
The document is a portfolio summarizing a student's media studies foundation project creating a horror film opening sequence. The student analyzed conventions of the horror genre and ensured their sequence included common elements like isolated settings, scary music, and victims. They also challenged conventions by having the male character as the first victim rather than protector. The student learned about filming techniques, editing software, and technologies for sharing their work online during the process.
Who would the audience be for my production?
The document discusses determining the target audience for a film production titled "Prohibition" with a 12 certificate rating. The target audience is identified as white males aged 30-45 who are left wing and have a social status of C1 or C2. This is due to the strong content in the film including drinking, smoking, and brief sexual scenes. Feedback was gathered through focus groups with the filmmaker's class and on social media. The first draft of the film is also discussed and how feedback improved the final narrative and audience understanding.
A2 media coursework evaluation
The document is a coursework evaluation that discusses how the student's media product uses and challenges conventions of real music videos. It summarizes how the student's music video does not feature an artist, uses lip syncing, was shot in multiple locations with different cameras, and has a conceptual style. It also discusses how the student's CD cover and still shots from the music video follow conventions of indie/rock albums. The student believes their media products will be effective at promotion because the CD cover and still shots will be repeated across different promotional materials to repeatedly expose the audience to the artist and song.
Media product evaluation
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.
Media evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the media product develops and challenges conventions of real media products.
It develops conventions by using typical indie pop music video elements like low-budget locations, simple props, modern costumes, and narrative/performance elements. However, it also challenges conventions by using fragmented narrative, abstract props, and lack of structure to represent bipolar disorder symptoms realistically.
The document also discusses how conventions are developed in the ancillary texts through typical design elements, but are challenged through unique styles and focus on the artist over props.

media evaluation - Indie conventions
- 2. I think my film product follows the conventions of the alternative genre. I have included many up and coming actors and actors you typically would see in independent or hipster films for example Michael Cera who is in Scott PilgrimVs the world which was a huge success for indie films. I’ve also put an artistic twist to the opening by making it almost like a music video but still tells a narrative. Real alternative media products often add cartoons as well as real life actors to add some obscure art into the film to add a much deeper meaning to the storyline. Indie films also include very obscure plots with strange and quirky mysteries so i wanted to include that in my two minute opening. For example in Frank the film about an indie rock band with the lead singer wearing a paper mache head for the whole film. Indie films also focus a lot on teenagers lives and young adults so i made sure i used a fairly young cast and for the main character a handsome broody young adult looking for his loved one which is in fact a figment of his imagination which is a plot twist.To follow the indie convention i mixed the music for the product to create an original soundtrack just as many independent films would e.g. Palo Alto.
- 3. My media product starts off with questions and keeps the audience guessing with what the plot is until the montage sequence where things start to get clearer. As independent films don't always use a narrative opening its more artistic and questions the audience it was hard to make sure there was some kind of narrative and too much like a music video. I made a lot of edits to it and cut things out to make sure it wasn’t pointless or boring. I worked really hard to not loose myself in the hope that the audience will just understand the narrative without an explanation. However after brainstorming i realised that another popular convention is a mysterious voiceover which gives it an element of higher power and deeper meaning. I developed my ideas and compared my product to indie conventions during the editing and filming so i could keep developing the conventions in my product.
- 4. My storyline includes a obscure plot which is focused upon mental illness however its not highlighted its subtlety there until the end of the film where the audience find out the girl he is looking for was made up in his head. Hard hitting plots that aren’t as used in the mainstream media are what makes something an independent film. Most plots try to focus o n teen issues like suicide, poverty, drug addiction or mental illness to try and create awareness but to also portray it in a artistic way.These plots are what challenges mainstream media. I have decided to not just create a quirky indie film i wanted to create a darker side to it by bringing a subplot of mental illness, i didn’t just want add vintage objects and using angsty topics with light hearted humour. So i changed my original plot to make the film something with a journey as its not based in the UK or in the States so more culture could be included and different moralities can be introduced. Also it means i could play around with the types of characters that the main character meets during his journey.This is an example of me using the independent conventions and not at the same time. Only because it challenges the convention by not focusing on one particular social group and background like in Submarine (2010) the film was based around a smallWelsh community.
