The document evaluates how a media product represents particular social groups including teenagers, adults, and females. It notes that the teenage protagonist is portrayed as emotionally struggling through stereotypical hardships, while the mother is depicted in an unconventional manner as unconcerned and self-centered rather than serious. It also discusses how not all female characters exhibit stereotypical traits, with the protagonist emotional but also doing domestic chores while the mother smokes and drinks in an unusual way for a woman. Audience feedback on the product is provided, noting things like effective music but some confusion over the flashback, and suggestions to make subtitles and plot clearer.
The media product uses conventions of the indie genre through stylistic choices that convey a simple yet appealing aesthetic. A dark blue color motif ties the products together and references the band name "Zulu Wolves" and winter. Photographs on the digipak use close-ups and striking color backgrounds to portray the light mood of indie music. The poster employs a plain but distinctive font to represent the genre's casual style. Filming in an urban setting for the music video also follows conventions commonly used in indie videos. Feedback from fans informed the decision to depict the band members wearing everyday clothes without prominent branding.

The document summarizes the conventions used in creating a music video and accompanying promotional materials for an indie band. For the music video, conventions like narrative scenes, band performance scenes, close-ups of band members and instruments, and casual clothing were followed. Outdoor locations were used for narratives while indoor performance scenes had a white background. The digipak and poster designs featured color schemes, photos of band members and nature, fonts that complemented the designs, and key information like the band name, album name, release date, and record label. Conventions from other indie band media were researched and applied to make the designs recognizable to fans of the genre.
The document discusses how the media product uses conventions of real psychological thriller films through camera angles, sound/music, characters and plot to attract a teenage audience; it evaluates how the progression from the preliminary task to the full product improved the camera work, framing, film content, and mise-en-scène by eliminating distractions and using props and locations more effectively to create atmosphere.
This document analyzes the music video for "Same Jeans" by The View. It summarizes that the video displays many characteristics of an indie music video, including shots of the lead singer and sections of stage performance. While the lyrics do not directly relate to the visuals, they tell an amplified narrative story. The relationship between the music and visuals is also generally amplifying, mirroring increases in tempo. The record label likely influenced close-up shots of the band through demands. The video primarily takes a narrative approach with some performance elements.

Our media product uses several common conventions of psychological thriller genres. We used ominous music at the beginning to create tension and establish an unsettling tone. Various camera shots and angles like high angles, long shots, and close ups were employed to depict vulnerability, setting, and elicit emotion from viewers. The protagonist experiences the death of a close friend and begins seeing their ghost while dealing with an unsupportive mother, drawing from typical thriller plots involving the supernatural and characters facing disbelief. These conventions were implemented to effectively develop suspense and engage audiences in a way that challenges have been done in other well-known psychological thriller films.
