Economics of plutonium recycle 6 nov2015fvh
1. The document discusses the high costs and safety risks of separating plutonium from spent nuclear fuel for recycling. Plutonium can be used to make nuclear weapons, and separating it commercially was a mistake.
2. Breeder reactors, which were meant to recycle plutonium, proved to be much more expensive and unreliable than water-cooled reactors. Recycling plutonium in light water reactors is about 10 times more costly than dry cask storage of spent fuel.
3. Continued reprocessing and dense-packing of spent fuel in storage pools poses safety risks. Pools would be safer if older spent fuel was moved to air-cooled dry casks

Mood board
The document discusses ideas for a horror/thriller film poster. It analyzes posters from films like Halloween, The Exorcist, and American Psycho that feature close-up shots of antagonists using lighting effects and fonts that convey the dark tone of the films. Specific techniques mentioned include using chiaroscuro lighting, blood-splattered fonts, and splitting characters into two images to show duality. The document concludes by stating the poster will take inspiration from these analyzed posters to feature a close-up of the killer with lighting and fonts that hint at the plot and unsettling nature of the film.
Final film idea development
The document outlines 5 potential opening sequences for a mystery thriller film. Option 5 is selected, which involves a crime scene shot in black and white accompanied by classical music. The opening would operate on 3 timelines, transitioning between the crime scene, an interrogation, and after the murder. This option establishes atmosphere and mystery while hinting at character psychology. Though ambitious, it is deemed to have the most potential by engaging the audience visually and through storytelling, while expanding on genre conventions. Careful preparation will be needed for the successful execution of this opening.
Know your genre
The document provides research on the thriller genre for a group film project. It includes summaries of 5 popular thriller titles, common settings for the genre like suburbs and asylums, and analysis of iconic shots from 3 films. Key elements of the genre discussed are protagonists aiming to defeat evil versus clever antagonists, use of colors like black and lighting schemes that build tension. Symbolic objects, character behaviors, and the role of costumes and makeup are also examined.

The Silence Of The Lambs Opening analysis (1)
The document provides an opening analysis of the 1991 film "The Silence of the Lambs". It analyzes the camera angles, mise-en-scene, editing, sound, and conventions of characters in the opening scene. The first camera angle depicts the protagonist from a high angle shot to portray her as vulnerable. The setting of an isolated foggy forest builds suspense. The editing uses a match cut to transition from the opening scene to a more professional setting. The film is aimed at a mainly young adult male audience drawn to the crime thriller genre.
Genre research
The document discusses genres and choosing a genre for a film project. It analyzes the genres of thriller and superhero films. The author has chosen to do a thriller/superhero hybrid genre film. They discuss several existing films and TV shows in these genres to analyze elements to include in their own project, such as the dark and gritty tone of The Dark Knight trilogy, the exciting title sequence of X-Men 2, and the sharp editing style of Arrow. They plan to incorporate these elements, along with occasional humor, into their own thriller/superhero hybrid genre film project.
5. pre production
The document discusses plans for posters and a trailer for a film project. It describes three poster designs - an iconography poster showing a plague doctor mask and axe, a close-up of a tortured victim's face, and a bloodied axe in a sink. For the trailer, it outlines the film's plot about a man who tortures people after his girlfriend's death. It also discusses following conventions like dark colors and lighting for the horror elements and warmer tones for early romantic scenes to establish the protagonist's motivation.
Evaluation Question One
The document analyzes how the media product uses and challenges conventions of real media forms. It summarizes that the protagonist is an unconventional character that blends genres. Both the protagonist and antagonist begin vulnerable but become terrified. The antagonist uses intellect over strength, which is conventional of thriller and psychological genres. The plot involves conventional elements like a goal to retrieve memory, and the antagonist removing it. The lighting, sound, and editing styles aim for realism to relate to the character, while the credits, subtitles and colors subliminally reinforce themes.
Question 1
My media product uses, develops, and challenges thriller conventions in the following ways:
1. It uses common cinematography techniques like tilt shots but also challenges conventions with unique extreme close-ups.
2. It develops conventions through the atypical introduction of the deranged antagonist and their unusual behavior.
3. It challenges conventions by not clearly identifying whether it follows Todorov's or Aristotle's narrative theories, leaving interpretation up to the audience.
AS MEDIA: CONCEPT
This document outlines the plans for a thriller film opening titled "Hidden Oak". It will target teenagers aged 15-18 and have an R16 rating. The opening aims to create mystery and confusion by showing fragmented scenes that are slowly pieced together. Iconography like shadows and low key lighting will be used. The plot involves a psychotic kidnapper holding a girl named Sarah captive in his isolated home. Practical filming can be done safely at a group member's property that resembles an isolated forest setting.
Semantic and Syntactic
The document discusses semantic and syntactic elements in horror film genres. Semantically, horror films aim to scare audiences through elements like lighting, sound, colors and shots that build an unsettling atmosphere. Syntactically, horror films follow familiar story structures but add twists, typically starting with an equilibrium, introducing a problem or disequilibrium, then ramping up tension as characters try to resolve the problem. This scene exemplifies semantic horror elements through its dark lighting, scary sounds and setting that could make audiences uneasy.
Genre - Research into Semantic and Syntactic.
The document discusses semantic and syntactic elements in horror film genres. Semantically, horror films aim to scare audiences through elements like lighting, sound, colors and conventions like sudden shocks. This example scene uses a dark and eerie lighting with a loud, distorted scream to startle viewers. Syntactically, horror narratives follow familiar storylines but add twists. They typically begin with an equilibrium, introduce a problem or disequilibrium, then build tension as characters try to resolve the issue while facing threats.
Memento
The film Memento is introduced with its studio logo and title credits for 1.3 seconds each. The first shot is an extreme close-up of a photograph held by the main character, then a tracking shot moves up to his face. Low key lighting and his distressed expression create a sinister tone. Sound includes non-diegetic music during the credits and diegetic camera flashes. It is unclear if the bloodied main character is the hero or villain from this opening sequence alone.
Genre research
Thrillers typically use sound, titles/fonts, and camera shots to provoke fear and tension in audiences. Sound is usually non-diegetic and includes slow, abrupt music to build mystery and tension, while titles/fonts stand out from the background. Camera shots vary from long shots to establish setting to close-ups showing emotions. Lighting is also key, using low-key lighting in intense scenes to draw audiences in. Characters usually include a likeable protagonist and distinct, unlikable antagonist who has committed a nefarious deed. Common themes involve detectives, femme fatales, action elements, and serious topics. Costumes, locations, and props help set the period and status of characters in urban environments as

The document provides details about the use of sound, lighting, camera work, editing, mise-en-scene, and conventions in the film Se7en. It summarizes that low-key lighting is used throughout to create a gloomy atmosphere. Camera shots include long shots, birds-eye views, and medium shots within a closed frame. Editing is minimal to create a naturalistic feel. Mise-en-scene depicts a grim city under threat and questions the morality of the antagonist. Conventions include a crime-based narrative, ominous weather, and building suspense through music and unknown perpetrators.
Conventions evaluation quest powerpoint
This document discusses how the media product uses conventions of real thriller genres. It provides examples of how the product incorporates conventional protagonists, antagonists, themes, settings, iconography, visual style, and enigmas. Specifically, it mentions the protagonist is determined but scared, the antagonist is an unseen guard following orders, themes of entrapment and imprisonment, a fortress setting inspired by Shutter Island, point-of-view shots, and icons like bars and a cigarette that are common in thrillers. Overall, the document analyzes the different elements that make the media product follow thriller conventions.
Semantic syntex media
This document discusses genre features in film from semantic and syntactic approaches. The semantic approach refers to conventions like characters, costumes, props, locations, music and signifiers that signal to audiences which genre a film belongs to. For example, a horror film would typically be set in a derelict house or woods at night. The syntactic approach refers to the narrative structure common to different genres. For instance, a typical horror story would start normally and then scary things would happen, with a character realizing they are possessed.
Evaluation q1
The document provides an analysis of the trailer created by the student for their media product. The trailer uses several cinematic conventions including beginning in a disoriented way to match how the audience will feel, keeping the antagonist mysterious, and showing fragments of the protagonist's life to build empathy. It also leaves some elements ambiguous using the "enigma code" to further intrigue audiences. The trailer was edited together using techniques like transitions, sound mixing, and After Effects. Elements like costumes, cinematography, and sound were chosen deliberately to signify meanings and build suspense. The accompanying poster and magazine cover were designed to be consistent with the trailer and use standard conventions like prominent text sizes and placements.

Pitch for Opening Title Sequence
- 1. Pitch for an opening title sequence Overview of research and planning conducted
- 2. Initial Research After extensive textual analysis and research into the thriller genre Use of colour and lighting Difference in location and actors Variation within cinematography Eerie soundtrack
- 3. Target Audience In conformity with the genre Over the age of 15, generally not under 35 Mostly male, 60/40 split Social class irrelevant
- 4. Synopsis Film follows the mundane, day-to-day life of our protagonist. From the revelation, the plot can commence. The opening sequence explores his state of mind before disequilibrium. Choices like colour palette and shot duration reflect this.
- 6. Inclusion of Mise-En-Scene Micro Elements Two actors selected for the roles outlined. Location for the living room will simply be my own – the classical furnishing reflects aspects of our protagonist’s personality Other features like costumes and props are yet to be decided, but will conform to general tropes established in the genre from my research.
