Trailer- Shot list 
This document contains a shot list for a trailer depicting the bullying and suicide of a girl named Lucy. It then shows her twin sister Jane experiencing strange events and noises in her home after Lucy's death. The shot list culminates with shots showing one of Lucy's bullies being stabbed and killed, implied to be done by Jane seeking revenge for her sister's bullying and death. The shots progress from establishing Lucy's bullying and suicide to Jane experiencing paranormal activity to shots of her killing one of the bullies who tormented Lucy.
The treatment revision
The document outlines 8 frames of a film depicting students in a classroom who are distracted by their mobile phones and not paying attention. Frame 1 establishes the classroom setting and introduces the students on their phones while the teacher talks. Frame 2 shows a close-up of a student's phone, suggesting they are not listening to the teacher. Frame 3 uses a tracking shot to show multiple students looking at their phones. Frame 4 shows a phone vibrating and flashing as the teacher notices the distraction. Frame 5 depicts the teacher telling off the class for being on their phones. The remaining frames continue developing the story through various shot types and transitions while keeping the diegetic sound of the teacher talking in the classroom.
Action Plan Review Week 4
The document outlines an action plan and tasks for the week of July 6th to 10th to review and continue work on analyzing music videos. Key points:
- Tasks for Monday include uploading completed work to blogs and reviewing work done individually.
- On Tuesday, two students will begin analyzing different music videos on Prezi and Emaze and review an extended task completed by one student.
- For Thursday and Friday, the focus is on continuing analysis of music videos, linking them to theories and making the presentations appealing through use of images, videos and animations rather than just text.
Revising theorists!
The document instructs revising theorists to create a revision poster about 9 theorists: Prop Todorov Barthes Levi Straus Laura Mulvey Carol Clover Andrew Sarris Steve Neal. The poster needs to include what each theorist said and use color, images, and repetition. Students will be tested on the theorists during their Period 6 class.
Opening scene actors
Tayla is kidnapped by the antagonist Alex to get back at Damian, who is the hero rescuing his princess Tayla. Damian must go on a mission to find and rescue Tayla from Alex's captivity. Alex kidnaps Tayla to take out his anger on Damian and ensure his identity remains hidden. The three actors each fulfill important roles in the opening scene to advance the storyline.
Shot list
The shot list details a kidnapping storyline told through 21 camera shots, including shots of Tayla and Damian walking together before she is kidnapped, Damian receiving messages from the kidnapper, Tayla waking up tied to a chair and being approached by the kidnapper, Damian finding evidence of Tayla in an empty room, and a split screen shot of Damian examining a note while the kidnapper locks Tayla in a room.

Promoting movies
Marketing involves promoting a product to increase sales and make customers aware of it. Distribution makes a product available to customers through a chain from manufacturer to retailer to consumer. Today, products can be promoted through social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube more cheaply and effectively than through traditional large budgets. These sites allow posting videos, photos, and information about a product to generate interest and recognition among social media users.
Action plan
The action plan outlines tasks from Monday 17th November to Friday 21st November which include completing an analysis of Blumler & Katz's gratification theory and uploading it to a blog, starting to script an opening scene, and ensuring the blog is kept up to date.
Blumler & Katz
The Uses and Gratification Theory proposes that people actively seek out specific media and content to fulfill needs like diversion, social interaction, personal identity, and staying informed. It assumes that audiences interpret media based on their own lives and choose media that meets their needs. The theory focuses on how people use media in their daily lives to fulfill various gratifications.
Opening scene actors 2
Dally is the princess character who is kidnapped in the opening scene. She will be held captive by the kidnapper until Damian, the hero, rescues her. Damian is the knight who must go on a mission to rescue his love, Dally, after she is taken by Alex, the antagonist kidnapper. Alex kidnaps Dally out of anger towards Damian and must keep his identity hidden to succeed in his role. The three main actors each fulfill classic character roles of princess, hero, and kidnapper to advance the storyline in the opening scene.
Attract Audience
The document discusses factors to consider when creating an opening scene to attract a target young audience to a film called "Gone". It analyzed the results of a questionnaire that found young people prefer action films with adrenaline and mystery. The opening scene of "Gone" reveals that the protagonist's girlfriend is kidnapped. Music, shots from different perspectives, and an intriguing plot are discussed as vital to engage audiences. Feedback showed the opening scene accomplished this by using varied music and shots, and leaving mysteries like the kidnapper's identity unsolved to encourage viewers to watch more.
Tzvetan Todorov
Tzvetan Todorov was a Russian theorist born in 1939 in Bulgaria who developed a theory of narrative structure for films. He proposed that all stories follow five stages: (1) an initial equilibrium, (2) a disruption to this equilibrium, (3) recognition of the disruption by characters, (4) an attempt to repair the damage, and (5) a new equilibrium with problems solved. Todorov argued that this five-stage structure can be applied to the narrative progression of any film. The stages are equilibrium, disruption, recognition, repairing damage, and a new equilibrium.
Levi strauss
Levi-Strauss developed the binary opposition theory which states that all narratives can be broken down into opposing pairs such as good vs evil, strong vs weak. He believed meaning is constructed through these binary opposites. Binary opposition analysis examines the opposing forces in a text and how they reinforce each other and create meaning. Strauss realized that words act as symbols representing societal ideas and meanings come from relationships between opposing concepts rather than fixed definitions.
Claude Levi Strauss
Claude Levi-Strauss argued that narratives can be reduced to binary oppositions such as good vs evil, white vs black, and strong vs weak. He introduced the concept of binary oppositions as a useful way to understand how meaning is constructed in narratives. Levi-Strauss believed that meaning depends on these opposing concepts, and that words derive meaning only from their relationship to other opposing ideas.
Media language, Ferdinand Saussure the signifer and signified
Ferdinand de Saussure was a Swiss linguist who is considered the founder of modern linguistics. He wrote Course in General Linguistics where he explained his theory of signs, consisting of the signifier (the sound-image or written word) and the signified (the concept or meaning). Saussure argued that signs are arbitrary and defined by their differences from other signs within the language system. He introduced the concepts of the signifier and signified to describe how words gain meaning through their relationships and differences rather than having intrinsic meanings.
MAC201 Encoding decoding lecture
Stuart Hall's Encoding/Decoding model of communication analyzed how media producers encode ideological messages and how audiences can decode them in dominant, negotiated, or oppositional ways. David Morley applied this to a study of the British TV show Nationwide, finding that audience interpretations varied based on social factors like class. This challenged effects models and argued audiences are active meaning-makers influenced by context rather than passive receivers of fixed meanings. The model shifted focus to the relationship between texts and audiences within broader social and cultural structures.
Levi strauss Theory
Claude Levi-Strauss was a French anthropologist in the early 1900s who developed the theory of binary opposites. He argued that we understand words based on their relationship with their opposite (e.g. hero and villain). Binary opposites are commonly used in storytelling, especially in films, to provide protagonists and antagonists as well as themes of good vs evil. Reality television also employs binary opposites by pairing people with opposing traits, such as beauty and intelligence, to complete challenges.
Strauss binary opposites
Strauss developed the theory of binary opposites, which argues that words derive meaning from their relationship with opposing words. Binary opposites are frequently used in films, especially horror, with common pairs including good vs evil, sane vs insane, and human vs supernatural. While opposites were once simple, like good vs bad in fighting films, modern films use more complex and unusual pairs, as seen in the gradual revelation of vampires vs werewolves in the Twilight series. Harry Potter also relies on the clear binary of Harry as the good guy opposed to Voldemort as the evil one.
Encoding/Decoding Stuart Hall
Hall proposed a new theory of communication that argues meaning is not fixed by the sender and the audience is not passive. There is a "lack of fit" between encoding and decoding meaning as the producer encodes meaning differently than how the receiver decodes it based on their background and interpretation. Hall referred to distinct moments in the communication process including production, circulation, distribution, consumption and reproduction as part of the communication circuit where meaningful exchange requires the message to be correctly decoded.
Action Plan Review Week 4
- The document outlines an action plan and tasks for the week of July 6th to review and continue work on analyzing music videos.
- On Monday, the group will upload completed work to their blog and review individual work. On Tuesday, they will begin analyzing two more music videos and review an extended task.
- For Thursday and Friday, they will continue analyzing music videos using engaging presentation software that allows embedding of images, videos and animations to make the analyses more appealing than simply using text. They will focus on finishing the last analysis as it is more detailed and time is running short.
Action Plan
The action plan outlines tasks from Monday 10th November to Friday 14th November which include completing 3 textual analyses of a similar product, researching Blumler & Katz Theory, and starting a synopsis.
Vladmir Propp
Vladimir Propp was a scholar who proposed that narratives follow a structure involving 8 character types: the hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, false hero, helper, princess, and the princess's father. Propp suggested all stories contain a struggle where the hero is harmed but ultimately overcomes the villain, restoring order. He also noted stories typically include a recognition scene where the hero is recognized, false characters are exposed, false heroes may be punished, and the hero receives their reward. Propp's theory has influenced many successful film narratives by providing a template for key characters and plot points.
Questionnaire results
The document summarizes the results of a survey about audience preferences for action movies. It finds that setting/location is the most important factor in an action movie, while lighting is the least important. Trailers are the most enticing factor for viewers in watching a movie. When asked about preferred subgenres within action, half of respondents chose comedy and a quarter chose adventure. The majority of 85% felt the filmmakers' plot was a good idea. Intense music was the most popular choice for action movies.
Action plan 3rd november
This document outlines a production schedule for the week of November 3rd through November 7th, which includes finishing an analysis of questionnaire results, conducting audience and competitor research, producing a detailed storyboard with shots and camera angles, adding a glossary to their blog, continuing work on the storyboard, and uploading materials to their blog to ensure targets are achieved before the week concludes.

Permission
- 1. For our media coursework we were planning on staying on after school next Tuesday to film the final half of our video. We wanted to use a specific room, hence we needed permission from the head of sixth form. The image on the left shows that I had emailed the specific teacher requesting to use the drama studio after school, and the email above is a reply, from the teacher who is in charge of the room that we requested for, stating that she has given us permission to use the room on the date that we have asked for.
