Once Bella recovers from her coma, she realizes she must stand up for herself and uses her strength and independence to get revenge on Sean for his bad behavior.

Question 2
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in a student thriller film. It focuses on age and gender representation. For age, the film features young child victims around 4-6 years old and a teenage villain of 14 years old. Most of the victims are children while the villains are usually adults in other thrillers. For gender, the main character is female unlike most thrillers, making the male the victim and female the villain, reversing typical gender roles. Scenes are filmed to make the female villain appear dominant over the male victim through frame size but still feminine through dark clothing and pale makeup.
Pitch
The document discusses initial ideas for three different film genres:
1) A horror/thriller film told from the murderer's point of view with a potential supernatural twist. It would target teenagers/young adults.
2) A drama/thriller about a teenager coping with a parent's suicide that turns out not to be suicide and leads them into trouble. It would target audiences from teenagers to adults.
3) A social realism film about an underground rave resembling 1970s/80s raves with something going wrong at the end. It would target teenagers/young adults and adults familiar with original raves.

This pitch proposes a supernatural thriller about a girl who committed suicide after being bullied in college. She returns as a vengeful spirit to haunt and kill her former bullies. The main plot follows another girl who becomes her latest target. The film will focus on the town's efforts to understand the killings and stop them. It will have three acts that build tension through strange noises and a missing knife before culminating in a scream and bright light during the antagonist's murder of the main character. Themes of bullying and revenge will drive the supernatural killer's motivation.

Evaluation question 5
The document discusses the target audience for a film opening sequence set in North London. It aims to attract teenagers and young adults from 15-25 years old by using suspenseful visual effects to draw them in. While the opening hopes to appeal to both male and female viewers, it is acknowledged that typically males prefer thrillers while fewer females find them not too scary.

Assignment 7 - Jake Ewen
The document discusses horror movie genres and audiences. It finds that younger males aged 14-25 enjoy demon and witch films the most due to the films' use of gore, violence, and intense special effects to create fear. These elements match what younger males stereotypically seek in horror. Older audiences aged 45-60 like the genres the least, as intense gore and effects become too much and cause disgust rather than fear, taking attention away from the story. The document supports this through survey responses and box office data on successful horror films.

My pitch
The document outlines considerations for a romance film trailer, including focusing on the passionate romantic love story between main characters, presenting genuine romantic love while also exploring tensions like incompatibility or obstacles like illness. It provides two potential plot ideas, suggests locations like a school or outdoor setting with light instrumental music. It discusses typical directorial techniques like high key lighting and non-diegetic music. It also lists ancillary promotion tasks and production needs.
Unit21
The document provides a pitch for a short film called "Vengeance" about a teenager dealing with the aftermath of his sister's death. It includes a synopsis, treatment, character breakdowns, and budgets for crew and equipment. The target audience is 15-24 year old males from lower socioeconomic groups, to convey the message that knife crime needs to stop. Pre-production would take 4 weeks, production 3 days of filming, and post-production 9 days of editing.
AntiSocial Eval Question
The document discusses how different social groups are typically represented in teen movies, such as jocks, cheerleaders, geeks, rebels, and outsiders. It then describes how the filmmakers represented two teenage female stereotypes - a "girl next door" and a "stoner." For the girl next door, they constructed her as mainstream and concerned with appearance through details like her tidy room decorated with pillows and diamonds. For the stoner, they used camerawork, editing, set design, and props like tie-dye posters, a skateboard, and a lighter on the floor to portray a more bohemian lifestyle.
Evaluation task 4
This document provides information about the target audience for a film. The audience is described as LaceyNewstead, a 16-year-old girl from South East London who enjoys socializing, shopping and dresses in a stereotypical feminine way. She listens to pop music, watches shows on channel E4, and enjoys romantic teen books and films like The Notebook that feature love stories. The film will appeal to her because she fantasizes about romance and the characters are teenagers.
Evaluation Question 4
This document discusses the target audience for a romantic comedy film. The target audience is female, between the ages of 16-28, from a Western culture, and lower-middle or working class. Specifically, it aims to target females from social classes C2, D, and E, as students and the working class would have more time and interest to watch this genre. While the film features a racially diverse cast, it particularly targets white and Asian females, as the main character belongs to one of these ethnicities. The goal is to attract an audience that can relate to the characters and themes of relationships, love, and college/young adult experiences.
Media film ideas
The document contains two ideas for media films. The first idea is for a sci-fi film called "Internet Brainwash" about a girl who creates a virus to brainwash her classmates into liking her after she is bullied. The key scene involves the students being affected after the girl sends the virus. The film would convey that the internet can be dangerous and popularity is not necessary to make friends. The second idea is for a film about a boy being harassed online by a girl to send nude photos when he does not know how to refuse or tell his friends. It would show that anyone can be pressured and harassment is not limited to one gender.
Thriller evaluation q4
Our film targets a female audience, particularly younger feminist women, by portraying a strong female protagonist who takes a leading role in the action. It also appeals to an older British audience through its filming in stereotypical upper-class British locations and its black-and-white, film noir style which evokes a sense of nostalgia. The typical audience member would be a young feminist interested in films featuring powerful female leads and a noir style like The Third Man, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Psycho or The Birds.
Fixation
Two people compete for the love of another, resulting in murder driven by jealousy and revenge. The film will start casually to confuse the audience about what is happening, before revealing more dramatic details. It will use natural lighting for realism, contrasted with a dark room to show the murder victim. The target audience is mass audiences aged 15-40, appealing to both girls and boys but more towards girls as it focuses on love without typical "boyish" features like explosions. The film takes inspiration from thrillers about love and serial killers with twists, turns and mysteries to solve.
Our Pitch
This document outlines a pitch for a short film called "Fast Love" about a man named John in his thirties who believes he is missing love from his life. The plot will follow John as he attends a speed dating event to try to find love but discovers he may not be as compatible as he thinks. The target audience for the light-hearted romantic comedy is 20+ year olds, especially females. Potential filming locations discussed are a community center for the speed dating event and John's apartment. The document concludes by posing three questions for initial impressions of John's character, interest levels in watching the film, and most important change needed if filming started tomorrow.
3 Which Media Institute would distribute your product and why?
Our independent British film "Obsession" would likely be distributed by Working Title, a major British production company known for films appealing to both British and wider audiences. Alternatively, ScreenGems or Rainforest Films could distribute to reach broader audiences. Working Title has successfully distributed films with similar themes of relationships and emotions, while ScreenGems and Rainforest Films focus on genres aligned with our film and target audiences that could connect with its cast and themes. As an independent film, our lower budget also means lower risk if the film does not perform as well as hoped.

2.how does your media product represent particular social
The document discusses representations of social groups, particularly gender, in horror movies and the author's own media product. It notes that males are typically portrayed heroically or villainously while females are usually victims or "final girls." It then analyzes the representations in its opening sequence, finding that one female character conforms to tropes as a vulnerable victim while the other subverts expectations as the aggressive villain. While intending to challenge norms, the narrative remains centered on resolving conflict between the male and female exes. It concludes by acknowledging other excluded social groups.
Textual Analysis of Horror Genre
Horror films use certain cinematic techniques and conventions to create suspense and fear in the audience. These include high and low camera angles to portray vulnerability or power, extreme close-ups to build tension, and isolated or deserted settings. Common horror film themes involve death, characters unable to escape threats, and icons representing the villain's methods. The characters typically include protagonists, psychopaths, curious teenagers, victims (with at least one survivor), ghosts seeking revenge, demons, and serial killers with signature killing styles.

Romance
Characters, especially the female protagonist and love interest, are essential to writing an effective romance story. The protagonist should appeal to readers by overcoming relatable obstacles like shyness, health issues, or family problems. The love interest should be extremely attractive, mysterious, and willing to pursue and protect the protagonist.
