The document defines and discusses the concept of mise-en-scène in film analysis. It states that mise-en-scène refers to everything visible in front of the camera, and is composed of 5 key elements: settings and props, costumes/makeup, facial expressions/body language, lighting/color, and character positioning. Each of these elements conveys meaning and influences audience interpretation. The document provides examples of how different mise-en-scène techniques are used to communicate specific meanings or elicit emotional responses from viewers.
This document discusses narrative and how it creates meaning in media texts. It states that every media text has a narrative structure, which is how the story is told. As consumers of media, we expect certain conventions and rules in stories based on our socialization and exposure to different media genres. Certain narrative elements like mise-en-scene, editing, music and sound are used to shape the narrative and confirm the genre. Narrative simplifies the storytelling process through generic conventions and stereotypes. Elements like close-ups, establishing shots, juxtaposition of shots, music, sound effects, colors, costumes, and dialogue are used to give meaning to the story.
This document provides 9 steps for students to create the best possible title sequence for a media studies assignment. Step 1 involves assessing the task, timeframe, and equipment. Step 2 recommends adding details about sound, camerawork, and editing to a blog. Step 3 suggests building skills in these areas and brainstorming sound effects. Step 4 is to research genre conventions, narrative techniques, character, atmosphere, and setting of title sequences. Step 5 involves brainstorming original title sequence ideas. Step 6 is to create a planning document. Step 7 is to shoot footage. Step 8 is to edit together a rough cut. Step 9 evaluates common pitfalls to avoid and provides advice for a strong final product.
This document discusses genre media studies, defining genres as having characteristic features recognized by audiences. It provides examples of common genres like westerns, war films, soap operas, and crime dramas. There can also be subgenres within genres. Genres are attractive to audiences because expectations are fulfilled, and they can predict what will happen. Producers like working in genres because communication is instant due to recognizable components. Key components of genres include stock characters, plots, locations, props, and familiar narrative structures.
This document summarizes feedback received from a media teacher on a student's music video project and how the students addressed that feedback. It discusses adding a sound effect at the beginning to set the emotional tone, leaving in a long intro they liked, filling time at the end of the video with repeated shots, and flipping an upright shot to improve it though it remained off to one side. The feedback helped the students improve and develop their video which they are now ready to export and share online.
The document analyzes and compares two music videos produced by other schools. The first video uses mise-en-scene and costume changes to depict the main character's different personalities and mental state. Notable camera shots include a sped-up shot of a busy square and a reflection shot establishing the character's isolation. The editing is praised for its effects and disclaimers. The second video uses locations, lighting, and shots to portray its characters - a DJ with authority and a fighter depicted as both ordinary and powerful. Both videos are deemed high-quality productions despite their different genres and narratives.
The document provides feedback from friends, family members, and teachers on the student's music video and album cover titled "Breathe Me". Written feedback praised the polished editing and inclusion of polaroid photos but noted some shots were unfocused. Verbal feedback showed viewers were engaged by the lyrics and raw emotion. Friends related well to the target age group. The student reflects that while some shots could have been improved, "Breathe Me" was largely a success in achieving its simple but effective goals.

Promotion is a key element of marketing that aims to raise awareness of products and brands to generate sales and loyalty. It refers to activities like advertising, market research, and selling products or services. Over time from the 1960s to today, music promotion and marketing through music videos has evolved significantly with technology. Early videos focused on performances to promote songs on TV when bands weren't available, but now high production value videos are artistic experiences in themselves that cultivate the image of the artist across media platforms to sell records, merchandise, and build their brand.
We started filming the first scenes of our music video in a pretty village near our hometown. We wanted natural scenery like trees, grass, and a river as a backdrop for Polaroid photos to achieve the style we want. Using the photo burst effect on our iPhones, we took multiple photos at once while randomly walking around and capturing different locations like trees, a bridge, and the river. When editing is complete in Premiere Pro, we hope to drop the photos into the program and cut together the video scenes we want.
This document summarizes the skills and roles of three students - Savannah, Brooke, and Eloise - on a media production team. It describes each member's strengths, including Savannah's creativity in developing storyboards, Brooke's skills as a producer and editor, and Eloise's confidence on camera and drive to improve. It also notes that the group works well together as a team, combining their individual talents, and provides a link to one of their previous productions, an AS thriller called "Nocturnal".
Sia's early albums had a different indie and soul style compared to her current pop and dance style. She gained popularity through hits like "Chandelier" and "Cheap Thrills" and branded her image with a two-colored wig. Sia uses the wig and brands her merchandise to show fans and the world her loyal following. Sia discovered dancer Maddie Ziegler through social media and their collaboration helped boost both of their careers, with Maddie appearing in many of Sia's music videos and becoming a face of Sia's brand.
Michael Jackson's "Thriller" music video was released in 1983 and directed by John Landis. It extended the song into a nearly 14-minute horror film, allowing Michael to indulge his interest in monster movies. The video was hugely popular, getting heavy airplay on MTV and accumulating over 149 million views on YouTube. It used elements of horror filmmaking like a dark, sinister atmosphere and scary monster transformations to tell a story and give viewers a creepy experience that reflected Michael Jackson's artistic vision and personality.
The group proposes a one page pitch for a music video for the song "Breathe Me" by Sia. The video would include shots in a studio and outdoors, as well as Polaroid photos to portray feelings of heartbreak and misery. The target audience would be females ages 15-24 who can relate to the realization of not being alone in difficult situations. Filming in a studio fits with Sia's previous music videos and the sad genre of the song. The group aims to creatively portray the story of heartbreak through both simple and complex designs.
This document discusses using Photoshop to create music CD covers from photos. It describes taking photos with different music genres and then using Photoshop to add backgrounds and effects to transform the photos into CD covers. The original photos are included along with the edited versions showing Gothic metal and pop genres. Learning Photoshop skills like cropping, erasing and merging images was helpful for designing the CD covers and will benefit future projects.

Nocturnal relates to Todorov's narrative theory by challenging some of its conventions. The film establishes an equilibrium that is disrupted by a murder committed by the villain. However, unlike typical narratives, the villain is not confronted or stopped, and the equilibrium is not restored by the end. Various cinematography techniques like establishing shots, close-ups, and point-of-view shots are used to involve the audience. Careful planning through research, storyboarding, and consideration of mise-en-scene elements like costumes, props, and setting helped the filmmakers efficiently produce their horror film.
Here is an example of Binary oppositions and why film producers use it. I have chosen a film to relate the binary oppositions to giving everyone a clear idea of how it is used.
The document provides analysis of key elements in the opening scenes of the film Se7en. It summarizes the introduction of the two main characters, Detective Somerset played by Morgan Freeman and Detective Mills played by Brad Pitt. The camera work establishes Somerset's living space and shows a mid-shot of a victim's body. The editing builds tension through a zoom into Somerset's face and a switch to a metronome. Diegetic police sirens and non-diegetic music are used to add sound effects that keep the audience on edge. Details in Somerset's tidy flat imply his career-driven and lonely nature.
The document discusses how a storyboard was created to plan out a film project before filming began. The storyboard helped plan the dialogue, lighting, actor positioning, set design, and overall structure of the film to reduce time spent filming and ensure proper planning. Creating a storyboard is presented as a great way to start planning a film production.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

1. One Page Pitch
Title; Nocturnal.
Film Genre; Horror Thriller
Length; 125 minutes (opening 2 minutes)
Target Audience; 15-24 – Appeals to them because they can relate to the film because the
characters are around that age group.
Story synopsis; a group of girls and their gay best friend go for a weekend away at one of the
girl’s uncle’s cabin. Slowly one by one each character will disappear (get killed) except one
who will remain alive thinking that the killer has been caught. She goes on to have a family
and her children want to visit the uncles cabin but turns out, the experience which took place
when she was younger, may be relapsing…
Visual realisation; fast paced film as it skips from her teenage days to her adulthood. Similar
films include ‘The hills of eyes’ and ‘wrong turn’ and the titling ideas came from the film
‘insidious’.
How does our thriller differ and why it appeals to our target audience? Our thriller is a more
realistic and relatable idea and is directly aimed at the younger audience whereas similar
films are aimed at older age groups. Our film has a moral and educates young people about
the dangers being independent in an unsafe area. It shows the consequences of what could
happen in different/new situations.
