Ideology in films
This document discusses how ideology is portrayed in films. It defines ideology as a set of ideas that reflect social values and influence beliefs and actions. Films can promote certain dominant ideologies around topics like family values, work ethic, consumerism, and gender roles. For example, many early Disney films portrayed women as dependent on men and finding romance as their primary goal. While more recent films like Sex in the City show how ideologies have evolved over time to depict women as more independent, they still reinforce the ideology of marriage as the ultimate achievement. The way things are portrayed in films shapes societal understanding and experiences of those topics in real life.

The document discusses techniques used in magazine design and layout to attract and engage readers. Close-up shots are used to draw attention to faces and expressions. Bold fonts, mastheads, and taglines are employed to attract attention. Color schemes appeal to target demographics. Minimalistic layouts do not overload readers with text.

Font colour
The document discusses the importance of font and color choice in conveying intended messages to audiences. It notes that sans serif fonts look modern while serif fonts are clearer to read and widely used in magazines. Serif fonts like Droid Serif are recommended for use in a magazine. Color can signify meanings like purity for white or passion for red, and darker or neutral colors may appeal more to mature audiences while brighter colors work for younger readers. Font size, boldness, and color are also important for drawing attention, like with a magazine masthead.
Font and Colour
The document discusses the importance of font and color choice in communicating intended messages to audiences. It notes that sans serif fonts tend to look cleaner in body text while serif fonts are clearer to read and widely used in magazines. For magazines, a serif font like Droid Serif would be suitable. Fonts can indicate time periods and help pieces appear older or more recent. Script fonts imply sophistication while display fonts are bold and draw attention, making them good for mastheads. Handlettered fonts add a personal touch. Color choice also communicates meanings, with primary colors seeming younger and neutrals appearing more mature.

Display fonts in bold sizes are best used for magazine mastheads to draw in readers. Handlettered fonts can add a personal touch, while script fonts imply sophistication. Color choices also carry connotations - primary colors seem youthful while neutrals appeal to mature audiences. Dark hues may suit rock magazines whereas pinks and purples fit pop genres. Fonts, size, and color choices should effectively target and communicate with the intended readership.

Audience Research
This document discusses defining a target audience for a film project. It analyzes the audience based on socio-economic status, concluding that the audience is level E since the film's protagonist is a student and much of the plot takes place in a school. The document also references Maslow's hierarchy of needs and how the film incorporates themes around self-actualization, self-esteem, and friendship. It determines the film warrants a PG certificate due to a lack of explicit content, violence, or swearing, making it suitable for student viewers.
Advertising standards authority
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) is an independent UK organization that receives and reviews complaints from viewers about advertisements. The ASA evaluates advertisements to determine if they violate any rules or regulations by being misleading, harmful, offensive, or contrary to the public interest. Complaints are made about ads being inappropriate for children, sexist, sexually inappropriate, misleading, featuring animal cruelty, related to homosexuality, racist, condoning violence, about religion, or offensive to people with disabilities.
The uses and gratification theory
The uses and gratification theory posits that audiences play a large role in creating media by consuming content that satisfies their needs and interests. It assumes that audiences are active rather than passive and that they choose media for information, entertainment, social interaction, and personal identity purposes. The theory explores how audiences use media to fulfill needs like education, social connection, diversion, and emotional release.
Media regulation
Media regulation refers to government control over mass media to protect the public interest and restrict certain content. It aims to regulate press, television, and radio. Media regulation emerged due to issues caused by media exposure, such as theories linking violence in media to real-world violent behavior. It also aims to prevent offensive, demeaning, or immoral content. While technology has increased risks like hacking, media regulation still plays a role in restricting graphic or scarring content that could harm viewers, especially children. However, regulation must be implemented reasonably and not restrict important information the public has a right to access.
Dystopian film
This document discusses dystopian films and provides examples such as The Purge, Never Let Me Go, Fahrenheit 451, The Hunger Games, and Divergent. It also outlines a plot idea where a girl is hit by a car and ends up in a coma, dreaming that she is going to school normally while clues throughout the film reveal that she is actually in the hospital in a coma from the car accident.
Narrative theory
This document summarizes and provides examples of four narrative structures proposed by Allan Cameron: forking path narratives, episodic narratives, anachronic narratives, and split screen narratives. It also outlines Roland Barthes' five narrative codes for analyzing texts: hermeneutic/enigma code, proairetic/action code, semantic code, symbolic code, and referential code. Finally, it briefly discusses Claude Levi-Strauss' concept of binary opposition and the role of ideology in narratives.
Conventions of a short film
Short films typically have 2-3 main characters to allow audiences to relate to them in the limited time. They are usually between 2-20 minutes long, with comedies tending to be on the shorter side. The plots commonly take an everyday situation and add a twist to make it interesting, such as starting in an office and finding a magical paper, engaging audiences while still relating to normal experiences. Technical elements are usually kept basic due to low budgets, using things like narration instead of complex CGI.
Short film idea pitch
The film pitch proposes a short film about a teenage girl who feels unpopular and lacks self-worth. The initial plot has her being hit by a car and seeing how people react to her death, realizing her value too late. However, the writers recognize this plot needs a lesson or character development. Their revised plot has the main character experience being a ghost after the accident, witnessing her impact. This leads to a realization about appreciating life, and in the end she wakes up empowered to make changes. The document outlines characters, sample scenes, and planned locations to bring the story to life.
The purpose of short films
Short films aim to entertain or inform audiences with a captivating narrative within their limited duration. They typically focus on a specific message or lesson and leave viewers wanting more. Short films can also be used to promote upcoming feature films or allow student filmmakers to showcase their talent. Additionally, good short films have an original idea, strong script, believable performances, and a hooking beginning to engage audiences.

Working titles andWARP
Working Titles is a British film company founded in 1983 that has produced over 100 films grossing nearly $6 billion worldwide. It is known for award-winning films like Les Miserables and collaborating with notable directors and actors. The company's films have evolved to target changing audiences, with earlier films aimed primarily at UK viewers due to their focus on British culture, while more recent productions have found greater international success through broader appeal.
Representations in media
The document discusses how media representations can lead to stereotypes based on social class, regional identity, and disability. It notes that social class stereotypes in media assume characters' intelligence and behaviors based on whether they are portrayed as working class, middle class, or upper class. Regional identity stereotypes often judge characters based on exaggerated traits of their nation or region, such as Scots wearing kilts or Mancunians being chavs. Disability stereotypes historically portrayed those with disabilities as incapable, frail outsiders, though views are changing. The document provides examples of stereotypical portrayals in British television shows to illustrate these points.
Pre production continued
The document summarizes changes made to a magazine after receiving feedback from the target audience. The key changes included finding a more professional-looking font to replace a hand-drawn masthead, altering an image behind the title to better identify it, resizing the text to a smaller font to fit more while adjusting pull quote positioning, and filling columns to improve the double page spread appearance overall.
My music magazine evaluation
This document describes the key conventions and techniques used in creating a magazine mockup based on a music magazine. It discusses placing the masthead at the top of the page even when overlapped by the main image. Pull quotes are used to draw attention to important text excerpts. Articles are organized into categories on the contents page rather than page number order. Images, colors, fonts, and other design elements are used to match the target audience of teenage girls and the music genre. Key sections like the masthead, cover lines, and plugs employ conventions commonly seen in successful music magazines.
Magazine pre pro uploaded
Talia Smith designed a magazine masthead for a music magazine targeting teenage girls aged 13-16 interested in pop music. She drew the masthead by hand using onomatopoeia to represent the "twists" in the music industry. Through tools in Photoshop, she edited the masthead text with drop shadows and beveling to make it stand out from the page. She also overlapped the masthead with the main image to follow conventions of famous magazines. Talia edited images for her double page spread to make them brighter, with more contrast and a "glossy" magazine look. She included relevant social media sites on the front cover and used columns, font size, and pull quotes appropriately throughout the magazine
Magazine distribution
This document discusses where different types of magazines should be sold based on their target audiences. Mass audience magazines are best sold in supermarkets, newsagents, and bookshops that see a wide range of customers. Niche magazines are more suited to record shops where customers specifically go to buy that type of magazine. If a music magazine was published by Panini for teens, it would be sold in stores like WHSmith and Morrisons that teens frequently visit, and would be placed on lower shelves for easy access. Modern magazines also have websites and social media presences to further market and distribute the magazine digitally to wider audiences.
School magazine research uploaded
The document discusses strategies for an effective school magazine, including:
1) Informing students about school events, promoting the school to prospective parents, and giving students a voice through topics they can relate to.
2) Appealing to different audiences like pupils, teachers, parents, and governors by providing school news, opportunities, educational tips, and information about student activities.
3) Using design elements like logos, headlines, images and questions to attract readers and represent the school in a positive light.
Music magazine deconstruction
The document analyzes the layout and design elements of a music magazine. It notes the use of columns, images of celebrities, and quotes to attract readers and promote other projects those celebrities are involved in. Product images and pricing help make the article useful. Color schemes, mastheads, and organized text and contents help the magazine appear professional and guide readers through the issues.
Terminology
This document defines key terminology used in media studies, including denotation, connotation, indexical signs, iconic signs, symbolic signs, diegetic and non-diegetic sounds, juxtaposition, mise-en-scene, verisimilitude, realism, and synergies. It also outlines research methods such as deductive and inductive approaches, primary and secondary evidence, and quantitative and qualitative methods.

- 1. School Magazine INITIAL IDEAS, PRE PRODUCTION AND PHOTO SHOP SKILL.
- 3. Masthead 1 I changed my font to masthead 2 because I felt it was more modernised whereas the font used on ‘sense’ in masthead 1 was slightly old fashioned. The font in masthead 2 looks more modern because of it’s rounded edges, it’s nicer on the eye for the adolescent target audience to look at. The thick edges of the word ‘sixth’ also make it stand out. The ‘THS’ school logo is more effective when it’s of higher opacity as it stands out clearer making it more noticeable for the audience to recognise it’s their schools logo. Masthead 2
- 4. I changed the font and wording of the main cover line, I felt I should reduce the amount of words so it’s more catchy to read and will interest the reader as to the full story. I changed the font to a clearer font so it’s easier to read. The layering of images is also altered to make the largest image more visible as it’s the most important. Font 2 Font 1
- 5. To keep the background image visible I lowered the opacity of the text box background by using the opacity tool.
- 6. I used different coloured fonts to make information stand out such as the email address so people will more likely get in touch with the editor, and also ‘iPad !’ is in yellow because it’s a bright contrasting colour to the rest of the page making it stand out thus exciting the audience about the chance to win something. I used a font that looks like handwriting on ‘talia x’ to make it personal as if the editor has written a note to all the readers and she’s personally signed it with an ‘x’ so show friendliness with her readers so they can relate to her.
