Location
Chris Waddington scouted locations for his post-apocalyptic short film and found an abandoned quarry called Harpour Hill in Buxton that had run down buildings, wasteland areas, debris, and rubble. He photographed various parts of the quarry that resembled locations from the video game Fallout 3 and would work well for scenes in his film, including an area filled with radiated blue water containing a half-buried car. Chris also found a small cave that he will use as the shelter where his main character awakens at the start of the film, and photographed additional settings like a rundown toilet building, burnt car, and pool of green "nuclear waste" liquid.

Luke Janes visited a field at a school on November 14th to scout it as a potential filming location. The field would work for a scene where characters have a conversation. However, the lighting may be too bright at midday, and wind could cause background noise issues. Filming on a calm, overcast day would help address these concerns. There is also a risk of actors or equipment slipping on wet grass or in holes, so filming needs to occur when the ground is dry. With the right weather conditions, the field could serve as a suitable location.

Luke Janes visited a field at a school on November 14th to scout it as a location for filming a scene where characters have an argument and people get shot. The suitability of the location depends on lighting, noise levels, and potential hazards. Filming would need to be done at a certain time of day for proper lighting and on a calm day to control noise from wind. Wet grass or holes in the grass could cause injuries or equipment damage, so the ground conditions would need to be safe and dry.
Visa 311 - Martin Arnold
Martin Arnold is an experimental Austrian filmmaker known for obsessively manipulating and reworking footage from old Hollywood films. He slows down, stretches, reverses, and flips footage back and forth frame-by-frame using an optical printer. This exposes undertones of gender, family, or sexuality that were previously invisible. Two examples are discussed: Piece Touchée, based on an 18-second kiss, replays the action over and over at different speeds; Passage À L’Acte manipulates a scene from To Kill A Mockingbird so a finger jab and door slam are repeated dozens of times, turning a family kitchen into a battlefield.
Shot list
The document outlines shot lists for three scenes of a camping trip gone wrong. In scene one, a group of friends set up camp and socialize by a fire. As it gets dark, some wander into the nearby woods. In scene two, screams are heard and one person is found bleeding by a tree while two others go missing. The group sees a glimpse of a mysterious creature before it runs into the woods. In scene three, the terrified group runs back to camp. Despite keeping watch, the creature quietly kills the watchers. Others find trails of blood and torn clothes in the tents, with the creature taking more victims before it runs past the returning friends to an empty campsite.
FORCES of NATURE (Angry Nature part 2)
This document discusses how nature can be cruel to creatures but also how understanding nature can help one understand everything better, as quoted by Albert Einstein. It references Shakespeare saying how a touch of nature makes the whole world kin and credits various sources for images and music used.

Task 4
The document discusses advertising a new thriller film in the magazine Total Film. It argues that Total Film would be the best publication to advertise in because it has a diverse audience that includes fans of thrillers, horror, action and other genres. In contrast, magazines like Empire seem to be aimed mainly at men and do not offer the same variety of genres. Total Film focuses on a different genre each issue and features related articles, so advertising an inception-style sci-fi thriller would also reach fans of related genres. As a popular magazine, Total Film would help the film reach a larger and more varied audience than just thriller fans.

The document discusses how various new media technologies were used at different stages of a music video project. A Sony digital camcorder was used to film all footage and was found to perform well though images could be unclear without a tripod. A tripod was crucial for steady shots and made tilting and moving the camera fluid. A dolly was not used because it made shots too unsteady outside of very smooth ground. Blogger was used throughout for resources, research, planning, and evaluations. YouTube was used to identify conventions, gather inspiration, and upload the rough cut and final video.

- The video uses conventions found in rap music videos such as compositions with the artist in center frame, body language expressing confidence through hand gestures, and lyrics appearing as graffiti text.
- It connects lyrics visually by having people mimic the lyrics "One, Two, Three" and the artist wearing a shirt that says "Get Fresh".
- While incorporating typical elements like a range of locations, fast editing, and camera movement, the video challenges conventions by portraying a happy atmosphere in realistic settings rather than an exaggerated wealthy lifestyle.

2) It combines narrative scenes and performance scenes to make the video more engaging while representing the lyrics, reflecting conventions in pop music videos.

The media product uses and develops conventions of the indie/rock music genre. It presents the band performing and with their instruments throughout the music video, similar to other bands. It challenges conventions by using a studio setting rather than filming in front of an audience. Close-ups of the band members develop individual star personas while emphasizing the front man to create a central star to identify with. Shots and fading are used to represent the mood of the music. The album cover features the whole band and uses shots from the video to interlink the products and brand identity. Recurring logos and labeling the record label are used to achieve instant recognition typical of the genre.
