The proposal is for a 3 minute horror short film titled "Schizo". It follows a school girl named Jessica who has schizophrenia and hears voices telling her to commit a crime and kill a man. The film was created by Chloe Taylor, Joshua Parkes, and Lewis Haynes for their portfolios. Chloe plays the lead role of Jessica, Joshua acts and operates the camera, and Lewis assists with camera operation. The film would be distributed at short film conventions and online platforms with a 12 rating due to an unresolved scare at the end. The target audience is ages 12+ of any gender or race but also short film convention attendees. Legal considerations included copyrighted music clearance and ensuring child actors were not exposed to inappropriate

4. proposal
The proposed film is a horror short titled "The Stranger". It follows a group of teenage friends who are stalked by an unknown man. Two of the girls are killed by the stranger, while one is injured. In the end, the sole surviving friend Jason accidentally kills the stranger. The purpose of the film is to showcase that deaf people can act well in horror films to attract audiences. The target demographic is males and females aged 16-24 from normal social classes. Legal considerations include some swearing by teenage characters and restricting viewers to those 16-24 to avoid offense. The film will be different from other horror films by including deaf actors using sign language.
Evaluation
The document summarizes a short crime film called "Thursday's Runner" created by a group of students. The 2-minute film includes a chase scene involving young males, drugs, and violence, drawing on conventions of crime films like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. The intended audience is young adults 15+ and mostly male. An independent UK film publisher called Coffee Films would be suitable for distribution given the film's low budget. The students learned basic digital camera and video editing skills through making the project.
Certificate research
The document discusses film certificates and their criteria to help determine a suitable certificate for the author's film. A U certificate is for all audiences and contains mild language and brief violence. PG allows bullying, racism, bad language and mild violence. 12A requires children under 12 be accompanied by an adult and contains nudity, language, and moderate violence. A 15 certificate includes strong violence, language, sexual content and references. An 18 certificate has no limits and contains strong violence, gore and discrimination. The author decides an 18 is suitable due to graphic content but notes it may limit their audience.
Evaluation question four
The document discusses rating certificates for films and determining the appropriate rating for a thriller media product. Research found that over half of thriller films shown on the BBFB receive a 15 rating, allowing strong language, drug use, sexual references and violence. Feedback from questionnaires indicated that most respondents believed a 15 rating would be most suitable since the plot involving a kidnapped victim could emotionally affect younger viewers. Considering typical audiences for thriller films and the questionnaire feedback, the document concludes that a 15 rating is most appropriate for the media product.
Questionnaires (Research)
The document analyzes the results of a questionnaire about preferences for psychological horror films. It found that the target audience is ages 17-20, and they prefer psychological horrors and thrillers. Flashbacks and memories are effective, as is building atmosphere with music and editing. Violence needs to be minimal and realistic. The most popular movie choices will be analyzed. Characteristics like being crazy, appearance, eyes, and speech can make someone scary. The film will focus on a crazy or delusional person who commits a crime, with a killing scene in a bedroom. Isolation is a major fear that will be exploited to make the film more effective.
Target audience
The target audience for the author's horror genre is males and females under 25, as this age group watches the most horror films. The films The Purge and Unfriended both target audiences in their late teens and early 20s, with The Purge featuring an unrealistic premise that appeals to curiosity, and Unfriended centered around teenagers communicating via video call. Insidious, about a supernatural possession, aims for 18-24 year olds through its use of jump scares and suspenseful noises that appeal to what teenagers typically enjoy in horror movies.

Insidious, about a supernatural being possessing a boy, aims at the 18-24 demographic through its use of jump scares and suspenseful noises that teenagers typically enjoy in horror movies.
thriller pitch improved
The document outlines a pitch for a crime thriller film called Optimum Productions. It will follow a detective trying to catch a serial killer who murdered his daughter. The film opening will show the daughter being murdered by the killer in low key lighting at her workplace. Optimum Productions specializes in crime thrillers and wants to engage audiences through mystery and genre conventions like low key lighting, shadows, and tension.

Horror trailer evaluation powerpoint
The document discusses the process of creating a horror film trailer for a class project. The filmmakers initially considered stories about a serial killer reporter or students filming a trailer where their teacher wants to kill them. They took a postmodern approach by including horror conventions like blood and gore in a comedic way. The trailer also featured the "final girl" trope by killing off the promiscuous female character first. The target audience was teens and young adults aged 15-25. Various title options were tested on the audience, and "Deadline" was preferred over "The New Girl" as a more attractive horror film title.
Evaluation question 4
The document discusses British film classification and ratings. It explains the ratings system used by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) which ranges from U to 18. Films rated 12A, 12, 15 and 18 can contain increasing levels of violence, language, sexual content and other mature themes. The document then analyzes similar thriller films to determine that its own film sequence, which includes strong language, drug use, abuse and bloody violence, would merit a 15 rating in the UK. Feedback from teachers and classmates supported this rating. The filmmakers conducted audience research through a questionnaire to help target their 15-year-old audience.
Assignment 7 case study powerpoint
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is responsible for classifying films in the UK according to their content. They use a rating system with 7 symbols ranging from universal to restricted. To determine a rating, the BBFC examines factors like discrimination, drugs, language, nudity, sex, violence and more. For the film Fish Tank, the BBFC gave it a 15 rating despite it bordering a 18 due to strong language, sex references, drug use and violence. They considered the context and impact of these elements on younger viewers to determine the appropriate rating.

The Importance of Genre and Age Rating
This document discusses genre, age ratings, and how films are rated. It defines genre as categories that films fall into, such as drama, horror, and comedy, which follow certain conventions. Age ratings like 12, 15, and 18 are assigned based on a film's content to determine who can view it. Films are assessed for suitability based on audience maturity. Younger ratings allow mild language, violence, and horror, while 15 ratings permit stronger elements and 18 has few restrictions besides illegal or endorsement of dangerous acts. Genre and age ratings are important for advertising and determining a film's audience and content.
Evaluation question four who would be the target

Positives included praise for shots, music, and original storyline, while negatives questioned the title choice and indicated more buildup of tension was needed. The research helped evaluate if the setting was effective and if the entity was shown appropriately. It also assessed if the audience understood the plot and found the film professionally made.
Question 4
The document discusses the target audience and rating for a horror film. It aims to target teenagers and young adults aged 15-19, as a survey found they most enjoy the horror genre and frequently visit cinemas. Both male and female teenagers will be targeted, as the main character's gender could be changed and it will appeal to both genders. A 15 rating is deemed appropriate due to strong language, suicide scenes, and the target audience finding it more appealing and relatable at that level.
Evaluation question 5
1) The document discusses the target audience and research done for a student horror/thriller film opening sequence.
2) The target audience is males and females aged 12 and above, as the film contains mild horror elements but no disturbing content.
3) Research included understanding BBFC film classification guidelines and surveying the target age range about their horror film expectations. Suggestions from the survey like scary music, characters, and lighting were incorporated into the final production.
Legal and ethical issues
Lauren Whyte discusses several legal and ethical issues regarding her film Pursued. She believes the film does not break any laws as it does not include anything too extreme, and child actors were supervised. No animals were harmed during filming. The story is also original and does not adapt any existing works, avoiding copyright issues. Royalty-free music and sounds were used to prevent copyright problems. A health and safety risk assessment was completed prior to filming. The film would likely receive a 12 certificate as no visual violence is shown. Representations of gender and youth could be seen as stereotypical but may be broken as the film progresses. Representations of violence rely on imagination rather than visuals.

Written evalutation
This document summarizes the intended audience and potential distributors for the film "Trophy":
1) The audience would include teenagers and adults due to mature themes, appealing to both genders. It may attract fans of psychological horror films like "The Shining" and "Silence of the Lambs".
2) Potential distributors include Warner Bros, known for films like "The Shining" containing violent and sexual themes, and Universal Pictures, known for Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho", a highly successful psychological horror film.
3) The main characters include a black teenage male lead and white teenage female supporting role, breaking horror movie conventions by having the female character randomly targeted rather than being
Media product evaluation
The document provides an analysis of the student's media product, a psychological thriller film titled "The Run". It summarizes how the film uses conventions of the genre, such as including stereotypical characters, a storyline based on real events, and non-diegetic music to build suspense. It also discusses some ways the film challenges conventions, such as shooting scenes in broad daylight rather than at night. The target audience is identified as teenagers based on a questionnaire, and the film aims to appeal to both female viewers through the main character and male viewers through inclusion of action scenes. Distribution on YouTube is proposed due to the low budget.
Secondary Research
The document provides background research for a short film about teens with super abilities who don't fit in with society. It discusses researching similar films like X-Men for character inspiration and comparing qualities of short films to full-length films. Key points include keeping characters limited, focusing on 1-2 brief scenes, and basing characters on films like X-Men for representation of differences.
title ideas
The document discusses potential film title ideas for a film about a mentally unstable orphan girl. The group proposes three titles: "Demented", "Raised by the Voices", and "Least Expected". Audience feedback on the titles is gathered, with some preferring "Demented" for its clarity and "Least Expected" for its intrigue. However, the group ultimately decides on "Raised by the Voices" as the title since it most intriguingly introduces the unseen force controlling the girl.
Certificate ratings by Agne Ivanauskaite
The document discusses the different rating classifications used by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) - U, PG, 12A, 15, and 18. Each rating allows for different levels of content in terms of violence, language, sex/nudity, and more. The filmmaker considers aiming their psychological horror film at different age ratings but determines a 15 rating would allow the strong violence needed while maintaining a large audience size.
Evaluation Question 1
The document discusses how the media product follows conventions of the horror genre in its opening. It establishes genre through using classical music that builds suspense, adding sound effects during chase scenes. It includes a common chase scene to introduce the killer. The opening also uses dark lighting, masks for villains, and weapons to create fear. It dresses the victim innocently and keeps the title discrete to not distract from footage. While acknowledging conventions, it challenges them slightly by including a death in the first two minutes to fully establish genre through suspense.
Q4 evaluation
The document discusses the intended audience for a media product described as a thriller film called "PREY". It states that the audience would be around 50% men and 50% women due to elements like a female lead, action scenes, and a tense ending. It would likely attract teenagers and adults rather than children due to violent content suggested by the title and clues in the opening. The film aims to include people of all races and social classes by featuring actors of different races and portraying characters from both upper and lower classes.

Question 5
The document discusses how the filmmakers attracted their target audience of 15-21 year olds of both genders. They did this by having the main character and antagonist be a relatable 16 year old male. They also used stereotypical representations of a working class male teenager to make the character relatable. Costumes and props featuring a gun and balaclava helped meet the audience's interest in themes of crime. The locations and sounds placed the audience in the protagonist's shoes and psychological state of mind to match their interest in thrillers.
Evaluation 1
The student's short film uses conventions from the film "The Lovely Bones" as inspiration. It includes a young innocent girl named Lilly who is abducted, similar to the main character in "The Lovely Bones". It also features an old scary man as the abductor. The film uses a voiceover throughout without music to build tension. It does not show any explicit scenes between the characters to stick to conventions. Some conventions are challenged, such as providing clues about what happens to Lilly more quickly than in "The Lovely Bones" to build tension in the shorter format. Overall the film focuses more on using conventions than challenging them to help ensure the film's success.
Powerpoint

1) The most common ways people access short films are YouTube, Vimeo, short film websites, and filmmakers' websites. Film festivals and DVDs were less common.
2) People are open to watching either individual short films or collections/compilations of short films.
3) Important elements in short films include storyline, style, soundtrack, originality, and camera/editing work. Genres like drama, comedy, and music videos are generally popular.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Proposal form
- 1. Proposal Form Title – Schizo Running Time – 3:09 Genre – Horror Group members – Chloe Taylor, Joshua Parkes, Lewis Haynes. Job Roles – Chloe; Actress. Played the lead role in the short movie, the girl with Schizophrenia. - Joshua Parkes; actor and camera man. He played a small, significant role in the short movie. He was also the main camera man, when he wasn’t acting. - Lewis Haynes; He stepped in and took the role as the camera man, when Josh was acting. Content – The short movie, Schizo, is about a school girl, Jessica, with schizophrenia. She hears voices in her head, telling her to commit a crime, and kill a man she has never met. Purpose – The short movie isn’t created as anything commercial, but it was created for a portfolio. Screening Distribution – This short movie would be shown in short movie conventions. It could be shown online, on YouTube or Vimeo, in hope that it will get passed on further and seen by more people. The certificate I would give my short movie is a “12”, not far from a “15” rating. This is because there is an unresolved scare at the end of the movie. Target Audience – My target audience is ages 12+, any gender and race. But it would also be for people at short movie conventions. Legal and Ethical Consideration – I needed to pay attention to copyright music and what I would do if I was to use music with copyright. I haven’t used copyright music. My short movie was an original idea so, I don’t need to worry about getting done for using someone else’s ideas. Also, both of my actors in the short movie were child actors. With this, I had to consider that they’re not being exposed to inappropriate material or that they weren’t working too many hours in one go.
