Female comedians face harsher criticism and judgment than their male counterparts. Through her research, the author found evidence that female comedians are judged more on their looks, likability, and sexuality rather than just their comedy material. Several female comedians spoke out about the disparity, with Amy Schumer noting women have to be "sweet and likable" rather than just funny. While hoping to focus on differences in responses to raunchy humor, the author discovered the challenges for women in comedy are much broader and well-documented.

2. research
Here are the key points I would highlight in evaluating the research:
- Product research provided real examples to analyze but lacked detail. More context would have helped understand the covers better.
- Questionnaires received [number] responses via SurveyMonkey, allowing easy distribution but a small sample size. Getting more responses would improve insights.
- Interviews provided rich qualitative feedback but only [number] were conducted due to time constraints. Interviewing more people could reveal additional trends.
- Overall, triangulating methods helped get a fuller picture but each had limitations. Product research set the stage, questionnaires tested preferences at scale, and interviews added nuanced perspectives.
- For the future, distributing questionnaires across more channels and conducting

Codes & conventions of short film reviews
This document outlines conventions for short film reviews. It states that reviews typically include the film's name, year, genre, and credits in the first paragraph. The second paragraph often provides a short summary of the plot and timeline. Subsequent paragraphs usually discuss positive and negative aspects of the story, setting, music, and effects, though character analysis may be omitted for short films with few characters. While star ratings are common in film reviews, they are less conventional for short reviews. The document advocates following conventions like increased first letter size, images, page numbers, and italicized quotes.
Film Review Conventions
This document outlines the conventions typically found in film reviews across different mediums. Newspaper reviews like those in The Guardian use formal language focused on less mainstream films, while reviews in The Sun are more informal. Official magazines prominently display key details about films and use dramatic photos to entice readers. Aggregate sites like Rotten Tomatoes combine critic and audience ratings to give films an overall score. Common elements of film reviews include the film's name and year, quotes, a plot summary, discussion of positive and negative aspects, and sometimes character analysis or an overall rating.
Codes and conventions of Short Film
Short films are typically between 3 to 30 minutes in length. They have simple, easy to follow storylines that take place over a short period of time with limited dialogue. Short films generally have 1 to 3 main characters to avoid lengthy backstories and allow audiences to relate more easily. While not essential, short films commonly include a plot twist to engage audiences in an interesting, creative way. Due to their independent nature and limited resources, short films typically have low budgets that stick to one or two locations and a small cast, giving the films an arty feel. Short films appeal to a niche audience because of their creative formats, brevity, and lesser known nature compared to feature films.

Research and planning plan of ideas
The document discusses the ideas the author considered for their movie trailer and why they chose one over the others. It presents three potential story ideas: 1) six students go camping and encounter a psychopathic killer, which was chosen as it appealed most practically; 2) six students visit an abandoned school at night and encounter unknown spirits, which was passed over due to preference for a woodland setting; 3) a bullied student considers suicide after family troubles, which was not chosen as it was deemed too complicated compared to the other options.
Question 3
The document provides feedback from audience research conducted for a film project. It details responses to questions about film preferences, watching habits, and reactions to trailers and posters. Key learnings included that supernatural horror and doll villains were most scary, YouTube was the best place to post trailers, and posters should feature the villain to draw interest. Feedback on a draft trailer suggested adding more camera angles and a victim character. This feedback informed improvements to the project.
Horror film pitch
The document proposes a supernatural horror film pitch about a family that moves into a new Irish home where a girl had killed her family decades prior. The film's target audience would be 18-25 year old students. The film idea is based on the Irish myth of the banshee, a female spirit omen whose screams signal death. The main character finds an ancient comb containing the banshee's spirit, unleashing it to kill the family since they share the same surname as the banshee's original family. The film would incorporate the banshee appearing suddenly to scream before killing victims.
Presentation to show
The document discusses a student's research into how animation films appeal to young audiences through their use of micro elements like sound, cinematography, mise-en-scene, and sound design. The student hoped to understand the main features that attract children and why animation appeals to people of all ages. They focused their research on Finding Nemo, Despicable Me, and Toy Story 3. However, through their research, the student found it difficult to link micro elements specifically and instead felt the storyline and character development were more important factors in a film's success and appeal to young audiences.
Project 1

While she understands others find joy in parenting, after much consideration, Rachel is confident that being childfree is the right decision for her.
Media Questionnaire
The document summarizes the results of a horror film questionnaire. It asked questions about respondents' gender, age, favorite horror films, preferred villains, thoughts on showing only the antagonist, preferred number of main characters, and whether mixing genres would be interesting. The most commonly mentioned favorite film was Shaun of the Dead. Most respondents had no preference on characters or number of characters, and all who answered thought mixing horror with another genre like detective would be interesting. The results helped inform the creator's decisions about their planned horror film project.
SCARS
This document discusses the plot ideas and development of a student horror film called "Scars". The chosen plotline follows a girl who receives a cursed china doll as a present and is haunted by it throughout her life. The film will use common horror conventions like mirrors, screaming, and eerie music. It will have only a few main characters portrayed at different ages. The target audience is teenagers because they are most likely to watch horror films and relate to the teenage characters. Similar successful horror films like "Child's Play" and "Paranormal Activity" that also targeted teenagers are referenced for comparison.

3. representation
This document provides information about the concept of representation that will be useful for analyzing a media production for a critical perspectives exam. It defines representation as how media re-presents or constructs meanings about the world. It discusses key questions to consider when analyzing representation, such as what concepts are highlighted, what representations are generated, and if there are any stereotypes. The document also discusses theories of representation, such as how gender is typically represented in media according to theorists like Berger and Mulvey. It provides several quotes about representation that could be cited. Finally, it discusses concepts like the "male gaze," the "final girl" trope in horror, and how different genres like zombies films can represent cultural ideas.

FMP Research Final
The document summarizes research done for a student film project inspired by the movies Birdbox and Hush. It discusses how those movies created tension through sensory deprivation and mentions specific scenes to draw inspiration from. Survey results are also presented that asked audience members about what attracts them to horror films and their preferences. The survey found suspense, thrills, and mystery appeal most and that slasher and comedy horror are favorite subgenres, which provides guidance for the student film.
Primary Research
The document discusses the planning of a teaser trailer for a sci-fi/horror film. It outlines the plot, proposed scenes, and research conducted through a questionnaire. The questionnaire results showed that while most participants were teenage girls who generally prefer horror over sci-fi, they were not put off by the sci-fi elements in the synopsis. Feedback suggested focusing more on horror conventions and ensuring special effects look realistic.
Question 1
The document discusses a student's film called "The Possession" and how it develops conventions of horror movies. Some key elements included in the film are: newspaper articles that hint at strange events, using an innocent character who becomes possessed, and including dark colors and blood imagery in the poster to match the film's tone. The student found creating a film review challenging but drew inspiration from real horror movie reviews that included plot summaries and film stills. The film also challenges some conventions by not setting the story in a huge, empty house, but in a normal home on a busy street.
Costume ideas
The document discusses costume ideas for portraying a mentally disabled character. The first idea was a white gown from "American Horror Story" that straps patients down, but it was too expensive. The chosen costumes were black ripped jeans to imply being in the woods and a white baggy jumper to show vulnerability as a mentally unstable and alone person, with the white and black contrast showing a split personality.
Questionnaire feedback
This document contains the responses from a questionnaire about horror films. It asks questions about preferences for different types of horror films, opinions on films involving witches, feedback on a plot for a witch horror film, whether the proposed film is suitable for its 15 age rating, favorite horror films and parts, opinions on films like American Horror Story and The Blair Witch Project, whether dialogue is liked in films, and if a proposed film opening would make people want to watch more. The responses provide various opinions on these topics.
Pre production
This document provides an overview of pre-production research for a project on mythical creatures. It includes definitions of mythical creatures, a brief history on their origins and symbolism. Research materials like websites and books on mythical creatures are cited. Potential interview questions are listed to learn about how myths have influenced society and culture. Legal and ethical considerations for the project are discussed, such as using copyright-free images and obtaining consent for interviews. Risk assessments and booking studio space are also mentioned as parts of pre-production.
2 choosing subjects
This document discusses finding subjects and developing ideas for documentary films. It provides tips on following your passion, solving problems, making topics personal, asking questions, and going with your gut instincts. It also discusses finding compelling characters, exploring one's unique access, developing story ideas from various sources, testing potential subjects, and avoiding topics one doesn't have direct experience with. The document emphasizes narrowing in on topics that have personal meaning and significance. Overall, it provides guidance on selecting documentary topics and developing early ideas.
Film trailer initial ideas questionnaire
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire given to 6 girls aged 16-18 about 3 potential film ideas: a horror, a chick flick, and a social realism drama. For question 1 about genre preference, the horror and social realism drama tied as the most popular. For question 2 about favorite plotline, the horror was most popular. Feedback for the horror praised its plot twist. Feedback for the social realism drama wanted it to be more relatable by having younger characters and more profound plot twists. The document responds that the characters and a minor plot twist were already planned aspects of the social realism drama idea.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Pitch feedback
- 1. Pitch Feedback To get feedback from the pitch I interviewed 4 people after they all read my pitch, asking them for a general response/opinion on what they thought of it. To make it equal I did 2 boys and 2 girls. I also asked them to be very raw and honest, even if that meant negative criticism.
- 2. Opinion One – Rosie Morgan • “I feel that your pitch as a very good, unique idea! Apart from the horror movie ‘The Boy’ I actually have not heard off many horror films based under your idea, I think you should go for it to be honest!”
- 3. Opinion Two – Ashley M • “If I am completely honest and blunt with you I feel the idea of dolls has been played on a lot for horror films! I mean there are so many films based around dolls, Annabelle, Chucky, The Boy? Honestly it is a really good idea that the doll will be taking human form but I think you should think more outside the box!”
- 4. Opinion Three – Dione • “I agree with Ashley to be honest. The idea is good but I feel that the concept has been over used a lot which could take away the unique aspect factor of your work. The fact that the doll would be in human form does put a twist to the plot line however!”
- 5. Opinion Four – Dione • “Personally I like the doll being in human form concept, but when just making a general analysis of horror films I feel the concept of the antagonist being supernatural is what is over used. I feel personally that a human antagonist would actually be better as it would create a sense of realism, like this could actually happen – which I find the ultimate scare!”
