Independent British films have covered these topics despite limited industry support for distribution and promotion. Representations of ethnicity in British films often relate to pre-globalization immigration, while more recent

She targeted her magazine towards a female audience of young adults, challenging the typical male focus of many music magazines. She incorporated feminine colors and styles while still appealing to both genders. Rose analyzed how her magazine followed conventions like consistent branding but also challenged norms by focusing on women rather than being for the "male gaze." She reflected on representing various groups and how the magazine might be distributed. Overall, Rose learned about magazine design, technologies, and the importance of intentional choices in media creation through working on this project.

Eval ancillary
The document evaluates how effective the combination of a main film product and its ancillary promotional tasks of a film review and poster. It finds that the review and poster were able to give both a written and visual representation of the film's content and message through consistent use of color, images, and text between the products. Color was used prominently and intentionally to symbolize key themes like innocence and freedom. Images from the film in the review helped illustrate its style and genre, while the poster's staged photo followed conventions to intrigue viewers. Matching the title, font, and language between the products added familiarity and clarity that they referred to the same film.
Representation theory in film
Laura Mulvey developed the theory of the "Male Gaze" which argues that cinema is directed towards appealing to heterosexual men by over-sexualizing women. She identified three ways this occurs: how men view women, how women view other women, and how women view themselves. The document discusses how the characters Ellie and Sam in the short film "Promise" could be seen as subject to the Male Gaze by portraying the female character as beautiful until the end in order to not make audiences uncomfortable.
Narrative and Audience theory
The document discusses several theories of narrative and audience in film. It describes Claude Levi-Strauss's theory of binary oppositions driving conflict and resolution in narratives. It also outlines Vladimir Propp's 7 main character types that often appear in stories. Finally, it discusses Tzvetan Todorov's 5 stages of narrative structure and how these theories apply to analyzing the short film "PROMISE".
Theories on film genre
John Fiske and John Hartley discussed how genre acts as a convenience for audiences to categorize films based on established conventions. However, David Buckingham believed genres are constantly changing based on societal influences. Barry Keith Grant argued that while there are broad genres, more specific subgenres take over in defining a film's content and conventions. Rick Altman's genre theory proposed that genres provide audiences with semantic pleasures through obvious signifiers, and syntactic pleasures through less obvious themes and moods portrayed through elements like color and tone.
Deconstruction of review
This document summarizes a short film review that was designed to look like a magazine article. It uses conventions from real media products like having a dominant central image, column structure for text, and key details box. The review analyzes how the characters in the film represent emotional and medical cures for the main character's illness. It also examines deeper metaphors and aims to look past mainstream approaches by deconstructing raw messages in the plot.
Gender
This document summarizes a presentation about gender representation in media. It discusses how gender is a social construct that influences behavior and is portrayed through stereotypes. While gender roles are becoming less defined, media still relies on traditional stereotypes such as women primarily depicted as housewives or in domestic/beauty product ads, and men shown as independent breadwinners engaged in stereotypically masculine activities and products. The document calls for media to break from these stereotypes by representing women and men in more complex, non-gendered ways.
Pre production
Titles and sound balancing are important aspects of pre-production. Dynamic titles created in software like After Effects or Photoshop can help set the mood, while balanced audio connections are needed for high-quality sound recording. Low-budget films can use hand-drawn or printed titles. Credits should thank all contributors and appear long enough to be read. Non-diegetic sounds like music are added in post-production for effect rather than being part of the story world. Foley artists record replacement sounds in a studio, while voiceovers can narrate or be added during ADR. Music establishes themes and mood depending on the film's genre and budget.
Actor shoot plan 6
Richard Scott has scenes scheduled to film in the park on Wednesday March 18th from 15:15-16:30 PM. He needs to bring casual clothes and a highlighted copy of the script and should wear his own makeup due to added lighting which could cause reactions or uneven skin tone on camera. Contact information is provided for Emily and Kayyah.
Character profiles
Ellie is a 16-year-old girl with cancer who is determined to live a normal life despite her illness. She dreams of attending her school prom but struggles with the physical limitations of her disease. Her father Dave is overprotective following the death of Ellie's mother, while her friend Sam and nurse Sandy provide her with emotional support. Other characters include Sam's romantic interest Lucy and Ellie's medical caregiver Sandy. The story explores Ellie's battle with cancer and her desire to experience life to the fullest despite the challenges of her diagnosis.
Designing an effective title
This document analyzes titles from romantic drama films to inform the design of a short film title. It discusses three films - The Fault in Our Stars, Endless Love, and My Sister's Keeper. All three titles use a light blue background or font color, which symbolizes innocence, freedom, and teenage love. The Fault in Our Stars and My Sister's Keeper also use a handwritten-style font to suggest a narrative told from a child's perspective. Endless Love uses a simple typed font that draws attention to the words. Based on these analyses, the author decides their short film title will also use a blue color scheme and a more handwritten font.
Evaluation
The student learned about the importance of understanding their target audience through making a short film. They conducted questionnaires with 50 people in their target demographic to determine preferences around length, content, and platform. They also interviewed people to get feedback on the script and plot. After the film premiere, they surveyed attendees and found the film was successful in meeting expectations revealed in the pre-production research, such as having a relatable female protagonist. Conducting research helped the student design the film poster and review to appeal to their target audience.
Audience research questionnaire results
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire given to the intended audience for a short film. It found that the majority of respondents were female aged 16-18 and in education. Most preferred watching romance genres for 6-7 minutes online. The filmmakers will aim to target this audience by featuring a strong female protagonist and including a positive ending, while exploring typical conventions of portraying gender roles in film.
Results from film review interviews
95% of interviewees recognized the film review format based on its layout. Younger audiences found the review "perfectly composed" while older audiences saw it as "sophisticated". Most interviewees said the large, striking images were the strongest feature while a few cited the critical perspectives. The majority said the images made them interested in seeing those scenes. While a few younger viewers found the text slightly excessive, 92% felt there was the right amount. The only suggested improvement was making some elements bigger and bolder.
Target audience response to film review
- The document contains transcripts from interviews with 10 people in the target audience for a film review. The interviews asked about initial thoughts on the review, strongest features, opinions on images and text amount.
- Respondents generally thought the review looked professionally designed and had eye-catching images of the appropriate size. The amount of text was seen as just right for both casual and close reading. Suggested improvements were to make the title or main image slightly larger.
Promise’ audience response –

- The majority of the audience was aged 16-18 (70%) and female (90%).
- Most audience members enjoyed the film and thought the narration at the beginning was effective.
- The target audience is seen as teenagers. While most found the main character relatable, some did not.

storyboarding
Storyboarding began with Leonardo da Vinci but became widely used in the 1920s with the rise of animated films. Walt Disney further popularized storyboarding in 1929 when making Steamboat Willie. By the 1940s, storyboarding was also used for live-action films. Today, storyboarding is still commonly used in animation due to technological advances allowing for detailed scenes. Storyboarding has also expanded beyond film into other industries like marketing, fashion, and business for online and print promotions. While technology will continue to change storyboarding presentation, it will remain a vital planning tool for visualizing events on camera from start to finish.
Evaluation - Technology
Rukayyah Robun used various media technologies throughout the filmmaking process. In the research stage, they used search engines, YouTube, IMDB, and SlideShare to gather written, audio, and video information on film techniques and styles. During planning, PowerPoint and their WordPress blog helped visualize and organize their ideas. Key technologies for construction included cameras, lighting equipment, and Edius 7 editing software to shoot and assemble the film. Evaluation involved their WordPress blog, social media for promotion, an interactive whiteboard for screenings, and a scanner to digitize feedback questionnaires.
