Representation
The document discusses representations of various groups in media and how stereotypes are used. It provides definitions for stereotypes, archetypes, and countertypes. Media representations are consciously constructed by producers and gatekeepers to control what audiences see. Common questions to ask about representations are who or what is represented, their depicted activities and purpose, and where they are framed. Specific examples analyzed include advertisements, magazine covers, films, and news articles. Representations are shaped by ideological and social factors like gender, ethnicity, and power dynamics.
Cowboyman Pitch

He uses these powers to stop a mugging, though gets shot in the process. The film is set in the present day and follows CowboyMan's comedic attempts to be a heroic cowboy superhero. It uses fast pacing and western music to introduce his character and powers before slowing down when he is shot. The target audience is seen as primarily male teenagers and young adults who enjoy westerns and superhero films.
Group044 Presentation
Group 044's opening scene for their social realism film begins with a long shot of a poor urban area. Two muggers are seen walking down the street saying they need money. The scene cuts to two drug dealers preparing drugs in a house, threatening one dealer to deliver them. He is then mugged by the two men, who find the drugs in his bag. The dealer shoots the carrier when he returns without the drugs. The scene ends with the carrier lying shot on the ground.
Social realism conventions
Social realism films typically feature stories about working class individuals dealing with social issues like poverty, drugs, and crime. They are shot on location rather than in a studio to feel realistic, and use non-professional actors and handheld cameras. Characters are usually teenagers experiencing hardships. Cinematography includes wide shots and establishing shots to provide context and a "fly on the wall" perspective. Sound, props, and costumes aim to feel authentic to the characters and settings. Editing is minimal to maintain realism and continuity in following characters' lives.

It follows conventions like using suspenseful music and a vulnerable young female protagonist. It also uses conventions like starting with a flashback to build intrigue.
Media evaluation q1
Our film challenges conventions of real media by telling a story about a teenage girl who sends explicit photos that get leaked online. We use non-professional teenage actors and film techniques like close-ups, flashbacks and voiceovers to realistically portray how she deals with the consequences. The costumes, environments and opening establishing shot aim to reflect the isolation and vulnerability of the main character within the social realism genre.
Story board
This is our story board of our final idea but also a draft before. These are included to show the shots that we are wanting to use and the mise-en-scene included.
Evaluation Question #1
The document discusses how the media product challenges conventions of the thriller genre. It introduces the protagonist, Detective Hunter, as a conventional thriller character but challenges conventions through the character of Head Detective Banks. Banks is an unconventional head detective as a small, stocky female rather than a tall, strong male. The media product also challenges conventions through its unconventional influence, basing the thriller on the children's game "Where's the Elephant" rather than a historical event. By challenging some conventions but following others like the protagonist, the media product aims to attract a wider audience while still satisfying thriller fans.
Magazine
This review summarizes the movie "Den of Thieves" in three sentences:
The movie focused too much on Gerard Butler's character and his personal issues, failing to give enough spotlight and development to the other main characters played by O'Shea Jackson Jr., 50 Cent, and Pablo Schreiber as advertised. There was also a lack of chemistry between the antagonists and protagonists. While an entertaining action film, "Den of Thieves" did not live up to expectations and will likely be forgettable.
Evaluation questions media
The document discusses various elements of a film to attract their target audience. They aimed to use popular themes like alcohol, cigarettes, fighting and drugs in a humorous way rather than a depressing manner like social realist films. The music contrasts the main character's situation, using classical music when he wakes up in the park. The titles were improved to look more plain and fitting. The costumes show a contrast between the character's wild night in a ripped shirt and his other life in a neat suit. The chosen actor can convincingly portray both sides of the character.
Question 1: Genre research
The document summarizes the opening sequence of a film project. It describes choosing a 15 year old target audience and discusses the storyline involving a missing child. Key shots in the opening include the victim's reaction upon being found, the neighbor's reaction of running away in shock, and interviews between the victim and his sister and mother. Location shots show the poor living conditions in the shed where the victim was kept. The narrative follows Todorov's structure of establishing equilibrium, disrupting it, recognizing the disruption, attempting to repair it, and reinstating equilibrium. Editing and music techniques aim to build tension and emotion throughout the sequence.
Evaluation 2
The document discusses how two social groups, detectives and criminals, were represented in a media product. Detectives were portrayed as typically working in pairs, dressed smartly in suits, looked up to with certain camera angles, and were younger than typically depicted to provide a unique selling point. Criminals were represented through poorer clothing in contrast to detectives and with mobile camera angles that left the audience guessing about who was really criminal.
Evaluation Question 1 corrected
The document discusses how a media production used and challenged conventions of the social realism genre. It summarizes that the production used unknown actors and focused on the lives of young people in deprived areas and different social classes, meeting some conventions. However, it challenged conventions by not discussing religion and using nonlinear editing. The production could have better met or challenged conventions by using handheld camera more or further questioning dominant ideologies about the working class.
Evaluation question 5
The document discusses how the production satisfies different audience needs through its use of techniques like mystery, suspense, tension, and a revealing ending that provides discussion. It analyzes how scenes give the audience information and how characters represent different identities. It also discusses how the production could fulfill audiences' needs of esteem, self-actualization, and provide intellectual pleasure through solving an enigma. Different readings of how women and teenagers are portrayed are provided. Finally, it is argued the production could sensitize the teenage audience through demonstrating the negative effects of meanness, selfishness, and crime.
Evaluation2
The document discusses how the filmmaker represented social groups in their media project. They created a male detective as the protagonist who wears stylish but professional clothes to seem desirable but not too stereotypical. Most of the suspects for the missing person case included both males and females to avoid gender stereotypes about criminality. A female character acts melodramatically, reinforcing stereotypes about women being more emotional. Overall, the filmmaker aimed to mix crime and high school drama genres for their target teenage audience while representing gender both stereotypically and non-stereotypically.
Question 5 textual analysis.
This document discusses theories of audience analysis applied to a fictional film production. It analyzes how the film represents masculinity, heaven, crime, and traditional gender roles. It targets an active A-B income bracket audience who will contemplate the issues raised and form their own opinions. The film features difficult topics like suicide, abuse, and bullying to provoke thought rather than passive acceptance. It also discusses how audiences may have preferred, negotiated, or oppositional readings of the representations, using the portrayal of women as a example.
Kidulthood case study
This document provides an overview and analysis of the 2006 film Kidulthood. It examines how the film represents teenagers and issues they face, through its characters, dialogue, scenes of violence and tension, and stylistic techniques. Key points made include that the film aims to authentically portray real life for 15-year-olds, generates tension through interactions between groups in the opening scene, and uses elements like lighting, sound and editing to create atmosphere during impactful moments. The film can be seen as depicting a "rite of passage" as characters like Trife and Alisa undergo experiences that mark their transition to adulthood.
EVALUTATION TASK 5
The document discusses elements used in the opening sequence of a film project to attract its target audience of 18-30 year olds. Elements like a puddle of blood, a victim, and clues left behind build suspense and mystery without explicitly showing the crime. The setting of a countryside house fits expectations for thrillers. Featuring a typical family dog prevents assuming it could defend the owner. The storyline slowly builds tension until a surprising twist, and includes the father's emotional breakdown seeking revenge later in the film. Suspenseful elements like blood and clues are meant to engage the young adult target audience.
Evaluation question 4 copy
This document provides feedback from target audiences on an opening film scene. The primary audience of 30-50 year olds connected well with the protagonist and her feelings of loneliness. They were drawn in and left wanting to know more. The secondary audience of 20-29 year olds connected less but still engaged enough to provide feedback. Some had trouble understanding details like her living situation. Overall the audiences provided positive and constructive criticism that can help strengthen the film, though connecting more with the secondary group could be improved.
Question 4
This document describes the target audience for an independent film that explores abusive relationships. The primary audience is classified as class A-B, aged 18-45, of any race but most actors are white. The audience is intended to be sophisticated and not interested in mainstream blockbusters, but rather films that discuss challenging issues. The secondary audience is classified as class C2-E who are attracted by the gore or storyline. The film raises issues relevant for both men and women and sexuality is not a factor. Feedback from the target audience on YouTube was positive, though they had some questions about the depiction of heaven. Given the graphic violence and depiction of suicide, the film is deemed appropriate for an 18 certification.

Blood media
The document provides instructions for making fake blood and compares different recipes using ingredients like washing up liquid, food coloring, cocoa powder, water, golden syrup, ketchup, and icing sugar. It notes that a recipe using green washing up liquid, red food coloring and coco powder produces quite a thin consistency but an accurate color, while other recipes can produce a good thickness and edible consistency with an edible product that has good color. A recipe using non-edible ingredients like washing up liquid goes foamy or bubbly and separates, smelling bad with a bad texture and viscosity. Proper mixing is important to avoid lumps.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
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.
