Myers and briggs introduced
The document introduces the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality assessment, which is based on Jungian psychology. The MBTI identifies preferences in four areas that make up one's personality type: how we direct our energy (extraversion or introversion), how we take in information (sensing or intuition), how we make decisions (thinking or feeling), and how we orient ourselves to the outer world (judging or perceiving). At its best, the MBTI can help people understand their strengths and weaknesses and communicate more effectively with others. At its worst, it can oversimplify people and deny individual responsibility.

It aims to consider the relationship between films and audiences and how particular films and sequences can elicit strong emotional responses from viewers. Films may shock audiences in various ways, both disturbing and challenging them. The document examines how emotional effects are achieved through film techniques or subject matter. It also discusses whether subsequent viewings of shocking images lessen or intensify their impact. Additionally, it addresses debates around whether mainstream films manipulate emotions or use them to make deeper points. The document outlines perspectives on film as a communication process and differences between spectators and audiences. It also explores what determines individual predispositions to emotional responses and elements within films that can create emotions.
The production process
The stages of film production include developing an idea, financing through script development and packaging, pre-production planning, principal photography or shooting, post-production, sales and marketing, exhibition in theaters or other platforms, and exploring additional revenue streams. Financing is secured and crew/actors are arranged during packaging. Distribution both supports mainstream films but can also hinder independent films and creativity through constraints on the system.

While other major studios passed on The Hunger Games, Lionsgate took a chance and it became a hugely successful film series. This helped Lionsgate overtake Paramount and Fox at the box office in 2013. Through clever mergers and acquisitions, seeing opportunities others missed, and taking risks in tough economic times, Lionsgate challenged the larger studios despite only being around for 19 years.
editing
Editing involves assembling shots in a film to shape its rhythm, pace and narrative. Key techniques include cuts between shots, dissolves where shots blend together, and transitions like fades. Editing styles include parallel editing of simultaneous actions, matching shots for continuity, montage using unrelated shots to imply meaning, and adjusting shot length to control pace. Famous examples like the Odessa Steps sequence in Battleship Potemkin demonstrate how editing can emphasize drama through a rapid, discontinuous style.

Modernism vs postmodernism (3)
This document contrasts modernism and postmodernism. It discusses key aspects of modernism like structure, order, efficiency and the role of science and technology. Henry Ford and his assembly line production model are provided as an example. However, modernism taken to an extreme as seen in Hitler's regime and the consequences of WWII and the Cold War led to issues that caused people to reject certain ideas of modernism, contributing to the rise of postmodernism.
Self reflective and self aware
Linda Hutcheon argues that postmodernism is characterized by self-reflexivity and irony through parody and ambivalence towards past works and culture. Postmodern works challenge traditional narrative structures and acknowledge their social and historical context through metatextual references and drawing attention to their own constructed nature.
Postmodern audiences
Postmodern audiences are media literate and aware of how media constructs messages to influence society. In response, some media producers now acknowledge the audience's awareness by revealing production elements and referencing past iconic media scenes. Audiences also deeply engage with fandoms online, gaining extensive knowledge to discuss with producers and each other. As audiences can now access media on demand and manipulate elements like time, media producers must cater to postmodern audience needs and behaviors.

Signs of postmodernism
Postmodernism has not led to a unified theoretical framework for analyzing film like other
approaches such as psychoanalysis, Marxism, and structuralism. Theorists of postmodernism have
contributed by challenging the assumptions of earlier film theories. Jean-François Lyotard views
postmodernism as questioning the dominant ideologies of Western thought but sees it as in
continual dialogue with modernism rather than replacing it. Jean Baudrillard sees postmodernism as
characterized by the proliferation of media images that have replaced real experiences and that
people mistake for reality. Fredric Jameson argues that postmodernism is marked by fragmentation
of subjects, a lack of depth replaced by surface imagery, and
Batman narrative structure
Todorov's theory of narrative structure proposes that stories follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to repair, and reinstatement of equilibrium. According to Todorov, a story begins with a state of order or equilibrium that is disrupted by some event. This disruption is recognized, leading to an attempt to repair the disruption and restore the initial equilibrium. Todorov applies this model to the plot of Batman, identifying the stages as Batman's absence leading to low crime, Bane taking over Gotham causing disruption, recognition of the situation, Batman's attempt to stop Bane, and Batman defeating Bane to reinstate the initial equilibrium.

Global & local audience essay
US films are popular with UK audiences due to their large budgets financing high production values, star power with internationally famous actors, and genres like action and sci-fi that translate well globally. UK films can succeed in the US with strong marketing pushing their artistic merits, by appealing to American critics and niche audiences through film festivals, or with American co-productions and cast that increase relatability for US viewers. However, UK films often struggle for exposure in the competitive US market without major distributor support.
Inception & strinati
This document discusses how the film Inception relates to Stinati's view of postmodernism (POMO). It presents questions about how Inception depicts confusion over time and space through nested dreams. Students are asked to discuss in groups how Inception emphasizes style over substance and if it represents a breakdown of high vs popular culture. The document also prompts analyzing how Inception presents different narratives without a grand reality-explaining narrative, as well as exploring how the film represents media concepts like language, genre, representation, ideology and narrative through a student-created mind map. Students are finally asked to make a PowerPoint linking Inception to Stinati's five identifiers of a postmodern text and relating the film to media concepts.
