History of Teen comedies
Teen comedy is a subgenre of comedy that focuses on the interests of teenagers such as coming of age, relationships, and conflicts with parents. These topics are often presented in a stereotyped or trivialized way. Some of the earliest teen comedies date back to the 1950s but the genre became most popular between the 1980s-2000s with films like Heathers, Clueless, and American Pie that centered around social hierarchies and embarrassing relatable situations in high school. However, teen comedies tend to quickly become outdated as teen culture and slang evolves rapidly. To remain successful, modern teen films need to incorporate other genres to engage teenage audiences.
pitch
The document outlines Izzy Saab's pitch for a film called "Loubs & Lies". The film will be about a rich, spoiled teenage girl who lives a life of lies and has murdered her best friend. It will be a chick flick/mystery genre film targeted at teenage girls that explores themes of selfishness and death. Production will take place primarily at Izzy's house using her mother's closet, bedroom, and bathroom to establish the main character's wealth. Casting calls will be posted on Facebook and community boards seeking a blonde, tall actress to play the protagonist.
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.
Emeli sande heaven
This document provides a shot-by-shot analysis of the music video for Emeli Sande's "Heaven". In shot 1, a woman descends a dark staircase in a red dress, symbolizing descending into darkness or hell. Shot 2 shows Emeli Sande in darkness, representing being pulled back into her past life, while the background depicts hope and life. Shot 3 portrays Emeli as representing a diverse society in terms of gender, class, ethnicity and age, showing that people often face similar struggles.
Q5 DRAFT
The document discusses targeting a young audience (15-24) for the thriller opening "Homeless" by using a cast of young characters around the same age. This allows the young audience to better relate to the situations portrayed. The theme of homelessness is an issue the target audience can identify with. The main character, Sam, will be particularly appealing as someone suffering similar problems. Referencing real social issues that affect the target audience will create interest and support from them. Choices were also made in costume, lighting, and plot devices to incorporate generic thriller elements and appeal to fans of the genre.
emeli sande heaven analysis
The document provides an analysis of the music video for Emeli Sande's song "Heaven" through the lens of various film techniques and theories of representation. It discusses how the video uses mise-en-scene, camerawork, editing, sound, and narrative elements to portray the struggles of working-class Londoners and suggest they deserve forgiveness. While some shots depict issues like drugs and gangs, the video aims to evoke sympathy rather than portray this group as a problem. It can be seen as a counter to stereotypical media representations of the working class and seeks to show everyone, including celebrities, face difficulties in staying true to their faith.
Media presentation
The document provides analysis of several silent films from the 1920s and early talkies from the 1930s-1940s. It discusses techniques used in each film including color palettes, shots, costumes, and target audiences. For the 1920 film The Flapper, it notes the use of black and white, simple editing to depict lifestyle, and fancy costumes to create escapism. Pollyanna from 1920 also used black and white to set a sense of mystery and comedy. The document continues analyzing several other films in similar fashion regarding their visual elements and intended audiences.
Q1
1) The document discusses the conventions of soap operas that the author's media product used, developed, or challenged in their soap opera trailer.
2) Key conventions included a non-linear narrative with multiple storylines, cliffhangers to intrigue audiences, and elements of realism through everyday activities and issues portrayed.
3) The author's trailer incorporated these conventions through flashbacks, an ambiguous cliffhanger about the killer's identity, and having characters with roles like a priest or nurse.

Essay homework
Postmodernism emphasizes power relations and how they are used to classify and stereotype groups through labels. It questions moral standards on issues like homosexuality. Postmodern works often explore themes of narcissism, alienation, and consumerism through non-linear narratives and abstract styles that create a sense of disorientation. The music video for "The Dope Show" by Marilyn Manson utilizes these techniques through its disjointed narrative and references to popular culture to portray themes of isolation and dissociation from society. Modern Family is also postmodern in that it parodies the modern family through separate but intertwining storylines of different types of families, references other media, and breaks from narrative conventions.

It will have a vintage aesthetic to portray the characters' homes and depict their desires to leave problematic family situations. Each character deals with a different family dynamic, such as abusive parents, high expectations, or unsupportive families. Through character development and narrative scenes accompanied by the song, the video aims to advocate for self-expression and speaking out against verbal abuse. It will be shot using natural lighting on location at the filmmaker's house and neighborhood to create a realistic portrayal of teenage struggles.

It will follow the students as they try to retrieve an embarrassing object from the most popular girl in school at a leaver's party.

It also addresses the rationale, feasibility, budget, and production deadlines for the project.
Script analysis 101

For Stranger Things, it notes the show is set in 1980s Indiana and follows a group of friends who witness supernatural events and government secrets. It also briefly discusses the narrative structure, genres, target audiences, and styles of Mean Girls, Stranger Things, and a BBC radio comedy script.
Evaluation question 1 powerpoint
The document discusses how the creator analyzed conventions of melodramatic soap operas like Hollyoaks and Waterloo Road to develop their own media product, a trailer for a fictional soap opera called "Victoria Halls".
Some of the key conventions that were used include having a multi-strand narrative with exaggerated storylines focusing on issues like relationships, homosexuality, drugs, alcohol, and pregnancy. The creator also included young main characters, consistent settings like pubs and parks that establish regional identity, and technical elements like shot reverse shots, close-ups, and non-diegetic music.
While drawing from real melodramas, the creator challenged some conventions by having only young adult characters and slightly incorporating Propp's
Research Presentation
The document summarizes conventions of teen comedy film trailers, posters, and target audiences. It notes that trailers introduce characters and storylines to leave audiences wanting more, while showing settings like schools and parties. Posters prominently feature the film title and main characters doing unusual poses. The target audience for teen comedies is teenagers and young adults who find the high school storylines and crude humor relatable. The document then proposes an outline for a teen comedy storyline about nerdy boys trying to get invited to a graduation party.
Evaluation
The trailer uses conventions of the romantic comedy genre, such as mid-shots to show character emotions, voiceovers to outline the story, and funny clips at the end. It establishes binary oppositions between the "geek" and "popular" female leads through their costumes and dialogue. Audience feedback confirmed the trailer successfully conveyed the genre and narrative through its conventions, music, and school setting. Most felt the elements used, like costumes and voiceover, were appropriate.

Audience Research
The document discusses research on the target audience for a new TV drama - 16-25 year olds. Generation Z, born 1990-mid 2000s, have short attention spans and rely on technology. To engage them, the drama needs short scenes and a voting app. Research through a survey of 21 people in this age group found most watch TV in evenings and via streaming. They preferred crime dramas and were interested in plot twists. This information will help create a drama that appeals to the target audience.
ITV2
ITV is a major broadcaster in the UK that produces and distributes content across various channels. ITV2 specifically targets 16-34 year olds and is ITV's entertainment channel, broadcasting reality shows, panel shows, game shows, and comedies.

https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

- 3. CHARACTERS The main character is the popular girl at school, named Elena, who goes missing and posts clues of where she is on social media for her 2 best friends to find her from. She will appear like the typical popular teenage girl in teen dramas such as Alison from Pretty Little Liars, Serena from Gossip Girl and Regina from Mean Girls. She will appear confident and self-centered. Everybody knows who she is and wants to be her. She will live a wealthy lifestyle and boys want to be with her.
- 4. BRANDING The title of my tv drama (Rumour Has It) will be in the same font style and colours as on the website and throughout the branding in order to link the tv drama to the website. I will also include the logo on the merchandise within the 'shop' page of my website. I want the brand to communicate the teen genre and also the mystery sense of the drama. My logo will have the name of the TV drama in a slightly script font style in order to connote femininity and innocence as the target audience for my show is young adults. I will have lips next to the text in either red, black or gold to connote secrets, rumours and gossip, which communicates the messages of the show and allows the audience to relate to the show as many teenagers enjoy to gossip with their friends. Similar logos to mine will be the Gossip Girl and the Pretty Little Liars logo as they communicate similar messages.

The title sequence appears for around 30 seconds – includes the cast names, director, producer and ends on the name of the TV drama – the title sequence will have upbeat non-diegetic sound (typical of a teen drama) and will have a sequence of shots of typical school items (clock ticking, school bag, canteen, classroom) and establishing shots of buildings and Reigate town. 3. Last one and a half minutes of the opening – girls hang up missing girl posters around college, shots of students on their phones (with characters saying rumours such as "Rumour has it, Elena has....(insert place/occurance) everyone is attempting to look for her, the opening finishes with the girls seeing a post from her on social media of her on an airplane.
