Question 2
The document discusses how various social groups are represented in the media product. It represents the protagonist Lucy as a young woman who plays into stereotypes of women being psychotic and manipulative. Lucy is also presented as weak compared to her father through a high angle shot. Teenagers are associated with criminal behavior, so Lucy is portrayed as a college student who commits murder. Lucy's therapist Sophia subverts stereotypes of women by having an authoritative position but is still sympathetic, fitting stereotypes of upper-class white British professionals. Lucy's father is described as an alcoholic and likely violent, parallel to the abusive husband character in The Shining, while Lucy gains power by killing him, subverting expectations of gender and age roles.
Q.2
This document summarizes how various social groups are represented in the media product. Lucy Jones, the protagonist, is portrayed as a young woman to attract a younger, female audience. Stereotypical high angle shots are used to portray women as weaker. Lucy's therapist Sophia subverts stereotypes by being an intelligent, authoritative woman. Lucy's father David is implied to be an alcoholic working-class man who kills Lucy's mother, making him a terrible father figure. Only Lucy's mother Louise is heard screaming, portraying her as weak. David is compared to the character Jack from The Shining, both resorting to violence against their families due to alcohol and mental instability.
Q.1
1) The student's film uses conventions of the psychological thriller genre, such as flashbacks and knives, to portray the protagonist's distressed mental state. Shots between the protagonist and therapist in her office show their contrasting social classes. Close-ups of the protagonist's face during flashbacks demonstrate her distressed facial expressions. Point-of-view shots make the audience feel involved while revealing her seeking revenge. Sound effects like heavy breathing and a heartbeat emphasize her panic, while music builds tension without distracting from dialogue.
Props and costumes
The document discusses several props used in a student film to convey important plot elements and establish characters and settings. A coffee mug and papers were used in therapy scenes to make the setting seem like a therapist's office. A beer bottle next to a character was used to imply he was an alcoholic. A bloody knife was shown to indicate a murder without explicitly depicting it. A mirror was used to suggest the main character has two conflicting minds. Clothing choices helped identify characters' ages and roles.

The document discusses the present continuous tense in both active and passive voice. It provides examples of affirmative, negative, and interrogative sentences in the active voice and explains how to change them to the passive voice. For active sentences, the structure is subject + is/are/am + -ing form of the verb + object. For passive sentences, the structure is object of the active sentence + is/are/am + being + past participle form of the verb + by + subject of the active sentence. The document also provides exercises changing sentences between active and passive voice.

PASSIVE 3
This document discusses the passive voice, specifically when there are two objects in an active sentence. It provides examples of how in these cases, either object can become the subject in a passive sentence. It also discusses using "get" instead of "be" in informal passive constructions, passive gerunds, and exceptions like "to be born". Activities are included to practice transforming sentences between active and passive voice.
Passive voice written work
The document discusses different uses of the passive voice, including with two objects, gerunds, "to be born", and "get". It provides examples of active and passive sentences with two objects, where one object becomes the subject. Gerunds are discussed as taking an "-ing" form but not being verbs. Common phrases using "be born" and "get" in the passive are examined, including how "get" can replace "be" for a more informal style. Sample test questions are provided to assess understanding of these passive voice constructions.
IT IS SAID
The document discusses the use of passive voice constructions to report information that is said, thought, believed, or expected. It provides examples of transforming active sentences that report what someone says, thinks, or claims into equivalent passive constructions using "it is said/thought/claimed/expected that" or "is said/thought/claimed/expected to".
IT IS SAID
The document discusses the proper use of the prepositions "for", "during", and "while" when referring to time. It provides examples of how each preposition is used: "for" refers to a period of time, "during" refers to an event or activity, and "while" refers to two simultaneous actions or events. Common mistakes are highlighted, such as using "during" to refer to a length of time rather than an event. An exercise is included for the reader to practice using the three prepositions correctly in sentences referring to time.
IT IS SAID
This document provides information on the proper use of the prepositions "for", "during", and "while" followed by examples. It explains that "for" indicates a period of time, "during" is used before a noun to refer to an event or activity, and "while" refers to two simultaneous actions or events. The document includes an exercise for students to practice using these prepositions correctly in sentences. It aims to evaluate whether the presentation helped improve students' knowledge of the differences between these three common time prepositions.
Have sth-done..
This document provides information and examples about using "have something done" and "get something done" structures in English. It begins by explaining that these structures imply passive meaning but are not technically passive forms. They are used when someone wants another person to do something for them or when they will hire someone else to do it. The focus is more on the result than who performs the action. Examples are given comparing active and passive forms. The structure of "have + something + past participle" is explained. More examples demonstrate using this with different verbs. Informal "get something done" is also covered. Exercises provide opportunities to practice using these structures.
