American gangster - textual analysis
1) The scene begins with an eerie soundtrack as production logos play, setting a suspenseful tone.
2) Two smartly dressed men interrogate a tied-up man in a shadowy urban alley, establishing their power over the inferior protagonist. An ambiguous mafia figure watches in the shadows.
3) During a fast-paced sequence, one interrogator callously lights the gasoline-covered man on fire while showing no mercy, highlighting his evil nature.
Research presentation
Crime/thriller films typically feature props like weapons, drugs, and police cars that connote violence. Main characters are often male and set in cities or foreign locations. The films have fast pacing, suspense, and action with a protagonist and antagonist. Trailers are 2-3 minutes, introduce characters and plot, and leave an "enigma" to entice viewers. Technical elements like music, shots, and editing create tension and drama to engage the target audience of 17-25 year olds.
Teaser analysis 2
The trailer summarizes the plot of the horror/thriller film "House of Wax" in just over 2 minutes through a series of rapid shots. It establishes that a group of friends become stranded in a deserted town and encounter increasingly strange and disturbing events, including wax figures that look too realistic. Scenes of screaming, blood, and murder build tension and intrigue around who or what is behind the strange occurrences in the town. While most of the storyline is revealed through the quick cuts, the trailer leaves the ultimate fate of the characters ambiguous to encourage viewers to see the full film.
Codes and conventions of a thriller
Thrillers typically involve a protagonist battling an antagonist, which disrupts the equilibrium and leads to a chain of bad events. The storyline aims to make the audience believe it could happen to them, increasing fear. Cinematography uses close-ups of facial expressions and props, and quick shots of antagonists in shadows. Editing employs jump cuts and cross-cutting to build tension. Sound design sets the mood with tension music, eerie background sounds, and loud music to scare viewers. Mise-en-scene establishes the theme through locations, costumes like dark clothes for antagonists, and other visual elements.

The shots depict scenes showing the seven deadly sins like a girl being attacked ("Pride") and a father discovering his daughter was kidnapped ("Sloth"). It also includes an end title screen and notes that additional shots of a girl on a swing will be added later. The purpose is to dramatize the seven sins for the trailer of the new BBC show called "The Wells".
Locations For Filming
This document provides locations and potential hazards/risks for filming scenes for a media project on the soap opera "Walton Hill". Locations include Walton Road for establishing shots, The Grey Dove cafe for a conversation scene, Johnny's messy bedroom for a drug scene, the school's FoodTech room for a cake baking scene, Waltonwoods for a flashback scene, Johnny's living room for an argument scene, an alleyway for a conflict scene, and Merepond for establishing shots of the town. Each location lists potential hazards/risks such as traffic, spills, or slippery surfaces and proposed solutions to address the risks.
Textual Analysis of soap opera trailers
The document provides a textual analysis of two soap opera trailers:
1) A Coronation Street trailer that uses a happy soundtrack and lighting to establish a sense of community, contrasted with emergency services footage that hints at an upcoming disaster.
2) A EastEnders trailer that uses a creepy soundtrack, western-style music and costuming, and facial expressions to set up tension between the returning characters of Kat and Alfie.
The analysis evaluates strengths of each trailer, including contrasting moods created by music and lighting, and quick cuts that establish narrative complexity. Areas to potentially repeat or exploit in a new soap opera trailer include focusing trailer tension between two characters and using color cues to identify "good"
Prop list
This document contains a prop list for a media production called "Walton Hill" created by a group of 4 students - Jonny Sheehan, Dan Sgarbini, Adam Fox, and Zak Winsall. The list includes props like a personalized cake with the Walton Hill logo gathered by Jonny, a coffee mug set from a coffee shop, phones for cast members, and various cameras, tripods, and baking equipment for food scenes to be provided by the school. It also lists extras for the production.
Mind map (Trailer)
This document outlines a plot for a multi-stranded narrative that explores the themes of adultery, conflict, lies, drugs, and murder. It considers using a love triangle as the central story and parodying the TV show "The Great British Bake Off" by having a woman make a cake with the themes as ingredients and showing the themes in flashbacks. It also considers recreating the trailer format of the TV show "EastEnders" but decides that option lacks originality. It introduces five central characters and reflects that the Bake Off parody is the best direction to demonstrate an original idea.
Meeting notes
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow and levels of neurotransmitters and endorphins which elevate and stabilize mood.

Questionnaire answers
Most respondents to the survey were between ages 14-21, nearly evenly split between male and female. They preferred to buy magazines monthly or weekly, mainly music and fashion magazines. The color scheme of red, white and black was the most popular choice as it fits with the conventional style of rock magazines. The results provide guidance on targeting both genders of teenagers and using a traditional rock color scheme.
Locations Recce
Esme will take photos for her media coursework portfolio in various locations around her school. She will use the drama studio as her main location, as it has plain white walls and floors that will provide a professional backdrop. Esme will take additional photos in the music department to include musical instruments. She has asked a classmate, Kier, to model for the front cover photo and will borrow a guitar from the music department. Esme also plans to take a group photo of four boys mimicking a rock band for her double page spread. She has obtained permission from those who will be photographed and does not foresee any risks from the planned school shoot.
Production plan
The document outlines the production process for magazines from start to finish in 14 steps. It begins with setting a publication date to allow time for errors. Next, a schedule is created and editorial decisions are made about content and budget. Content is acquired through in-house and external writers along with photographs. Sub-editing checks accuracy, spelling, grammar and style. Page layout organizes the visual design. Proofreading finds and fixes mistakes. The file is sent to the printer and distributed to warehouses for sale to the public.
Prop list
Esme Quantrill is creating a front cover, contents page, and double page spread for a media portfolio. The front cover will feature a mid-shot of a boy in a casual rock genre costume without props. The contents page will include a guitar to give a sense of personally identifying with a musical artist. The double page spread will feature casual rock-inspired costumes like a beanie hat, parka coat, and skinny jeans. The only equipment needed is a camera and possibly a tripod.
Mood board template
This mood board for a rock music magazine includes images of conventional rock bands to provide inspiration. Most of the images show all-male bands wearing dark, rebellious clothing like leather jackets. All of the selected images aim to demonstrate the rebellious connotations typically associated with the rock genre.
Survey monkey results
This document summarizes the results of a survey about preferences for a proposed rock music magazine. Key findings include:
- The target demographics of 18-24 and 35-40 year olds completed the survey as expected.
- Most people do not physically buy magazines, so including a website is important.
- A monthly rather than weekly publication schedule is preferable.
- Readers want promotions like contests, tickets and free downloads included.
- Rock is a popular genre that many survey respondents enjoy.
Audience profile
The target audience for the new rock magazine is 15-45 years old and will appeal equally to males and females. Most of the consumers will be students or unemployed, so the magazine needs to be reasonably priced between £1-£2.99. According to uses and gratifications theory, readers will use the magazine as escapism and for its ability to relate to their personal experiences through song lyrics. Maslow's hierarchy of needs also applies as readers can feel a sense of belonging to the rock genre and esteem from keeping up with trends in rock fashion featured in the magazine. Common stereotypes of consumers are expected to be indy, emo/goth youth who engage in manual or creative work.
Music Permission
The document is a letter from A Level Media Studies students at St Andrew's Catholic School requesting permission to use elements of the song "Broken Crown" by Mumford and Sons in their soap opera trailer for a coursework project. They explain that the lyrics and melody fit well with the themes of the trailer. If approved, only a short excerpt of up to 1 minute 30 seconds would be used after editing in audio software. The trailer would be posted online for their exam board.
Primary research evidence
This document summarizes the results of a survey about the target audience of soap operas. The survey found that the main viewers are aged 20-40 and that they watch for conflict and escapism. While most viewers thought soaps appeal more to women, some male respondents said including sexy female characters and weaker dependent female roles could make soaps more appealing to men. The conclusion is that an effective soap opera trailer should showcase conflict to engage audiences and include realistic but escapist elements.
