Our film Red Powder uses several conventions of real media productions such as titles, establishing shots, studio logos, and diegetic and non-diegetic music. It challenges stereotypes by having the likable character be the supposed villain and vice versa. Sounds were mixed diegetically and non-diegetically to make the car scenes more realistic. Locations included a large house for the drug dealer scenes and an apartment to contrast the characters. Costumes were used to signify the characters' wealth, power, and decline. Props like guns were used to engage audiences as is common in thriller films. Different shots represented the emotions of the two main characters. The film introduces music to set the scene and immerse audiences.

Pr7 me and my movies
The document summarizes three fantasy movies chosen by the author: Avatar, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It discusses elements common to the fantasy genre seen in each film, including their settings in imaginary worlds, stereotypical good and bad characters, use of narrative structure, iconic imagery, and advanced special effects and cinematography. The author also notes how each film employs "star theory" by featuring famous actors to attract audiences familiar with their previous roles.
Question 1
Our production takes the traditional fairy tale theme of Hansel and Gretel and adds horror elements to target young adults. Both main characters are girls rather than one of each gender as in the original story. Costumes were designed to represent the characters, with one girl in more feminine clothing and the other in masculine clothes. The location of an isolated cottage deep in the woods was chosen to build suspense. Lighting and camera techniques like handheld shots were used to make the audience feel like they were experiencing the story firsthand. Both diegetic sounds like dialogue and non-diegetic sounds like creepy music were incorporated into the soundtrack.
Mind map of inital ideas
The document outlines two initial ideas for a conceptual music video:
1) A narrative-driven video centered around a couple in a natural setting, incorporating shots of the artist. It would explore relationships and amplify the song's meanings through imagery and color.
2) A performance-based video focused on the artist, blending shots of them performing alone and in a small concert. It would marry changes in pace and tempo between shots.
While the second idea complies more with music video conventions, the first is deemed more engaging and easier to successfully carry out, though it would be challenging to include voyeurism in a way that doesn't objectify the actors. Costumes and props are also briefly discussed.
Title research
The document analyzes the title sequences of three films - Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Divergent - and discusses patterns in who and what is credited. For Spider-Man, the main cast is prioritized over other crew. For The Incredible Hulk, crew like the cinematographer and visual effects designers receive more attention, reflecting the film's focus on visuals and realism. Divergent only credits the production companies and director, keeping it short to represent the film's tone through computer-like graphics.
Evaluation activity 3
The document discusses film distribution and production. It explains that a distributor is responsible for releasing films to theaters, DVDs, or online. It then provides context about the titles and credits in the opening scene of the film.

Non-Diegetic Sound In Trailer.
The document discusses three non-diegetic soundtracks to include in a movie trailer for a slasher film. A party soundtrack was chosen to emphasize reckless teenage behavior inspired by the film "Project X." A nursery rhyme, "Teddy Bear Picnic," was selected to represent contrapuntal sound and reference the forest setting, played in a creepy version. A heartbeat soundtrack was proposed for a montage section to mirror the characters' and audience's heart rates, adding thrill and anticipation for the characters' lives.
Title sequences ppt
This is my Title Sequence Powerpoint which explains what a title sequence is and the typical expected order of credits for a film.
Question 1
This document summarizes how the media products conform to and challenge conventions of real media. The trailer conforms to heist film conventions through use of suits, shots of locations and items, and character types. However, the poster challenges conventions by making the female the central focus, which is uncommon. The title and color scheme were also unconventional choices influenced by other heist films. The magazine cover conforms to typical layouts but makes the background black and white to make the character stand out. It is influenced by other magazines and conveys the character as a criminal through poses and costume, conforming to heist film conventions.
Evaluation q1 final
This document summarizes how the media product conforms to and challenges conventions of the horror genre. It conforms by using an abandoned building setting, gore makeup, tense soundtrack, dolls and fake blood props, and a young adult protagonist. It challenges conventions by using a white antagonist gown instead of the usual black or red, an implied possessed female antagonist instead of a vulnerable female protagonist, and an opening scene that neglects everyday life in favor of immediate action. The narrative starts with an enigma code and includes main characters as per Propp's theories.
[Pro forma] - mographics - case study
1) Motion graphics use moving elements like animation and visual effects to tell stories through title sequences and advertisements. They have improved over time with technology allowing for more creative titles.
2) Visual effects alter images or add moving elements that can't be done in live action, like matte paintings used historically or modern CGI. Blue/green screens allow characters/objects to be placed in different backgrounds.
3) CGI uses computer software to generate digital visual effects and animation, improving over time. Early films like Tron combined live action with 3D animation, while Toy Story was the first fully CGI animated feature film.
Media Evaluation Question 1
This document evaluates how the student's media product uses, develops, or challenges conventions of film continuity and editing. It summarizes that the student's short film fits conventions of social realism drama by having realistic characters and settings. It adheres to conventions like the 180-degree rule and match on action for continuity. It also builds tension through editing, music, and framing. While it challenges conventions by using direct text to question the audience, the evaluator believes the audience will find the film pleasurable through its realistic portrayal of prejudice and unexpected yet satisfying ending.
Question 1
For their romantic horror film, the document discusses how the filmmakers used various cinematography and mise-en-scene techniques to conform to genre conventions. Close-ups were used frequently to create paranoia in viewers, not showing what was happening outside the frame. Costumes and makeup helped characterize the characters as expected for the genre, such as dressing the feminine lead in pink and making the villain resemble The Joker. Sound effects like music and heartbeats added mystery, horror and tension to the atmosphere. While the location created some challenges, the forest setting still supported the thriller elements of the genre.
Task 3
The document discusses conventions of film trailers. It explains that trailers aim to attract audiences by showing exciting clips without revealing spoilers. Trailers give information about the plot, stars, and genre. There are different types of trailers like theatrical and teaser trailers. Trailers are made to promote upcoming films through various platforms. They draw audiences in through suspense and not revealing the full plot. Trailers usually follow Todorov's narrative structure theory of equilibrium, disruption, attempted repair, and return to equilibrium. Elements like identifiable titles, production company logos, music, sound effects, and age ratings are conventionally included in trailers.

Momento film posters
The Memento film posters provide clues about the confusing and thought-provoking nature of the film through their unique design elements. Each poster features pictures within pictures to suggest the characters are getting inside each other's heads. The posters also highlight the main characters and actors to encourage the fan base to see the film. Symbols and clues on the posters, like tattoos and weapons, hint at the dramatic and psychological thriller themes that will be explored in the film's storyline. Common across the posters are the use of black and gold colors, snapshots from an old camera, and institutional information to identify the film and draw in audiences.

Introduction
This document discusses different approaches to analyzing movies, including genre analysis and auteur theory. It focuses on using genre analysis and Lacey's Repertoire of Elements, which examines the setting, characters, narrative events, iconography, style, and technical/audio codes of a movie. The document provides examples analyzing the movies Pulp Fiction, Walk Among the Tombstones, Mean Girls, and Napoleon Dynamite to demonstrate how these elements establish a movie's genre and whether it follows genre conventions or takes a more unique, auteur approach.
Q1
This document discusses how the film challenges conventions of horror genres. It films in bright sunlight rather than dark settings. It provides backstory for the monster to create fear rather than mystery. Editing includes horror music and fast cuts focused on the main character rather than lengthy monster scenes. Filming prioritizes the main actor with the monster fitting into shots rather than being the focus. This unconventional approach sets it apart from many horror films.
Short film analysis 1 and 2
The film is a 6-minute dark comedy that follows a getaway driver for bank robbers as he becomes increasingly frustrated by a fly in his car. The narrative follows the typical three-act structure, establishing the bank robbery situation, then creating conflict as the main character tries to kill the fly, building to a climax where he loses his temper and exits the car with a gun. Camerawork and editing use a variety of shots and transitions to build tension throughout the short film.
Media Evaluation Q1
The document discusses the influences and creative decisions that went into planning an opening scene for a film project. It draws inspiration from crime thriller films and TV shows like True Detective, Chinatown, and Memento. Specifically, it models the main character, costume, props, and personality after the TV show True Detective. It also establishes fictional production companies to handle the film's distribution and marketing, taking cues from major studios like 20th Century Fox. The document outlines choices made regarding the film's titles, music, and lighting to establish a neo-noir genre tone and keep audiences engaged.
Question1
The document discusses how the media product challenges conventions of comic horror films in several ways:
1. It does not clearly establish early on that the film is a comedy, creating a sense of horror at some points instead of comedy.
2. It films some "scary" scenes in broad daylight instead of at night like most comic horror films.
3. It uses horror-like music throughout the film instead of changing the music to establish a comical feel.

It matches conventions through the use of a helpless blonde female protagonist and ominous antagonist in black, as well as blood and gore makeup and a creepy male voiceover. However, it subverts conventions somewhat by setting the sequence in a doll house rather than a typical hiding location. Overall, the sequence aims to match audience expectations set by inspirations like Scream and Silence of the Lambs more than challenge conventions.
Question 1
The document discusses how the student's media product uses and develops conventions of real films while also challenging some conventions. It summarizes how the film title, costumes, editing, genres of psychological thriller, characters in conflict, lighting, and ambiguous ending both utilize and expand typical conventions. The film poster includes standard features but centers the protagonist's image, and the radio trailer employs a loud narrator and impactful sounds effects to draw the audience in through auditory senses alone.
Group presentation
The group created an indie romantic comedy aimed at their age range. They researched similar films to understand characters, storylines, and what content works best without revealing the entire plot. They filmed scenes at local locations like a transformed bowling club and cafe, using music, lighting, and camera shots purposefully to enhance realism and emotions. Through editing, they created a coherent narrative and developed their ideas in a non-naturalistic style for their target audience.
Film pitch
The document outlines a film pitch for a drama about a man struggling with a split personality disorder. The film will be targeted towards adult audiences and distributed by Scenario Films and MGM. It will explore sinister and confusing themes about mental illness. The opening sequence introduces the main character and hints at the severity of his illness, leaving the audience with questions. It will be shot on location in a town using techniques like camera work and lighting to set an unsettling and dark mood.
The Cabin In The Woods - 9 Frame
The opening title sequence of "Cabin in the Woods" uses imagery and music to set a ominous and suspenseful tone. Images of blood and hieroglyphs are accompanied by ambient music that builds dramatic tension. A change to a mundane office setting provides momentary comic relief for the audience. The title appears alongside a scream, embracing horror film tropes. Subsequent shots introduce common horror film elements - an isolated cabin, young people embarking on a trip, and stereotypical characters - signaling the movie will incorporate and subvert genre expectations.
Evaluation question 1
This document summarizes how the media product, a short zombie film, uses and develops conventions of the zombie genre. It establishes zombies infecting others and having deteriorated physical features as conventions it follows. It describes researching other zombie films and TV shows to inform the plot and characters. Shots like close-ups of zombies were used to build suspense. Sounds, settings, and costumes were employed to make the film feel realistic and enhance the viewing experience for the audience. Iconic zombie features were incorporated, and typography was kept simple with subtle variations to hint that something is amiss.
Cinematography
This document discusses several key elements of cinematography including camera shots, editing, sound, and mise en scene. It outlines different types of camera shots such as establishing shots, medium shots, and close-ups. It explains that film editing involves combining original footage during post-production to create a finished motion picture. The document also discusses how background music and sound effects can aid the audience's understanding and enhance emotions. Finally, it describes how mise en scene arranges lighting, props, settings, costumes and characters to convey meaning and influence the audience's interpretation of events.
Question 1
This document discusses how the student's media product uses and develops conventions of the horror genre.
The key conventions of horror include themes of good vs. evil, dark iconography like blood and weapons, abandoned or dark settings, and an evil being trying to kill the protagonist. The student's work fits these conventions by including a protagonist and villain. It also challenges conventions by killing a male character early on rather than the typical female character.
The opening scene kills off a character using a knife, fitting with horror conventions. Dark settings were used to maintain suspense. Overall, sticking closely to genre conventions made the student's film more effective as a horror piece for this coursework.

Digipack analysis no1 improved
This document provides an analysis of several digipack album designs. For the first album, the summary is that it uses black and white with colored flowers to stand out, features peace symbols and the artist and album names clearly on the front cover. The back cover continues the flower theme and features the track list and legal information. Overall it follows a good theme but could be improved by adding the peace symbol to the spine.
The second album has a clear science fiction theme with an overall blue color. The front features a character but lacks band identity. The back has a hard to read track list and logo not on the front. The inside continues the pixelated character theme. Overall it uses simplicity well but some elements like the
Evaluation question 3
The document discusses feedback received on a music video from teachers and classmates. Key points include:
- Feedback noted that the poker scene idea was interesting but the ending needed to be more enigmatic. Lighting and concept were good.
- Teachers provided in-depth feedback on connections to other artists' videos and themes around control and escaping situations. Suggestions included improving lighting and symbolism.
- Overall the feedback helped identify both strengths and areas for improvement, which would allow the creator to better realize their vision if remaking the video.
Evaluation question 4
The document discusses the use of various media technologies in the construction, planning, and evaluation stages of a music project. For research, the author used internet research, interviews, and focus groups, recording them using computer and camera technologies. Planning involved creating themes and storyboards in PowerPoint and drawings in Paint. Construction of the music video involved editing footage from various cameras in Movie Studio Platinum, adding effects and filters. Ancillaries like titles and album artwork were created using Word and Photoshop. Evaluations were presented using Word documents, Slideshare, Prezi, and an audio recording with accompanying video.

Construction of the music video involved editing footage from various cameras in Movie Studio Platinum, adding effects and filters. Evaluation involved presenting work in Word documents, Slideshare, Prezi, audio recordings, and explanatory videos.
Advert editing process
The artist had to redevelop their album advert multiple times after the initial draft did not match the album's theme and files became corrupted, losing work. After completing the album, the artist returned to the advert with the same original design, saved it successfully, and produced the final version to promote the finished album.
Album digipack editing process
The document describes the process of designing a digipack album cover. It involved:
1) Creating custom title text in a word document to make the album look better than plain text.
2) Choosing a cream background color to match the arctic monkeys genre and band.
3) Developing the design and color through multiple stages, getting feedback from others to decide on the best version. This included paper drafts and digital variants to pick the superior design to improve on.
Filming update 1.1
The first day of filming involved 4 people playing a game of poker around a table in a darkened room for about 4 hours. Setting up the location, props, and blacking out the room took approximately 1 hour. Everyone wore suits to look smart for the poker game, and Chloe wore a hat as a reference to the Wild West setting of a poker game.
Digipack analysis no1 improved
The document provides an analysis of two digipack album designs. For the first album, the summary is:
The design uses black and white with colored flowers to stand out. It has clear artist and album names on the front cover with a simple, effective design. The back cover continues the flower theme and features the track list. Minor issues include a lack of label on the spine.
The second album has a science fiction theme depicted through blue colors. The front cover features a character but lacks band identity. The back cover track list is hard to read and legal text is impossible to read. The inside continues the theme but the disc side is more plain. Overall it uses simplicity to create a rich perspective on the
Digipack and poster feedback
This document summarizes feedback received on digital packaging and poster designs for a band. The feedback identified areas for improvement, such as making the poster text more readable against the background colors and fonts, improving the placement of elements like the band name and titles, and including more legal information. Positive feedback highlighted good design elements like images, layouts, and use of a poker chip motif. The designer concludes that this constructive criticism will help in continuing to refine the work.
Music digipack conventions of rock
Arctic Monkeys, Jamie T, and ACDC all follow conventions of rock album artwork and posters. Their covers typically feature simple designs with only the band and album names in a limited color palette. Arctic Monkeys' album Suck It and See has a minimal front cover with just text, while the back only lists the tracks in a simple font on a cream background. Jamie T's album Panic Prevention has a cluttered cover that symbolically represents a soldier's experience with PTSD through medals on the back. ACDC also keeps their designs simple with the necessary information and legal text. Rock posters generally feature the band/singer, album/event title, and date in a straightforward black and white style. Brand
Risk assessment
The risk assessment identifies hazards for a music video shoot taking place at a house. The hazards identified include tripping or falling in the dark and glass breaking if a bottle is pushed off a table. To prevent injury or damage, lights will be turned on when people move around and a carpet will be placed under the table to prevent glass smashing if a bottle falls. Joe is responsible for both prevention measures.
Risk assessment 2
The risk assessment identifies hazards for a music video shoot at an airfield, including planes landing (high risk of a plane crash), using a car could result in being hit, muddy ground posing a slip hazard, and low-hanging tree branches. Measures have been taken to mitigate these risks, such as staying out of the runway, timing the car scene well, wearing good grip shoes, and removing branches from the filming area. Additional precautions are the responsibility of those indicated (Me, G, R, A) to complete.
Shot list
This shot list contains 21 shots for a poker scene. It includes various shots of the poker players and table from different angles and perspectives, such as close-ups, mid shots, and pans across the table. It also documents shots showing a player losing money and starting to lose his mind, other players transforming into animals, and a shot of the player grabbing a suitcase and sweeping the table, sending chips and cards flying.
Storyboard
This story board outlines the key shots and scenes for a poker video. It will begin with a 40 second introductory shot of the first character followed by introductions of the other players. The main part of the video will show the poker game unfolding with the protagonist losing a lot of money. In the final scenes, the protagonist's losing has distorted his mind so much that he sees things, panics, flips over the poker table and runs away.
Secondary data
The target audience for rock music is male, aged 16-27, middle class, white, social, and students. The secondary target audience is female aged 16-25 from lower to middle class and white with very active social lives as students. The document provides evidence that the main rock audience is between 16-25, likely in education, socially active, and able to afford rock music as part of their social scene and lifestyle as students. It also shows that some rock bands like Arctic Monkeys have widespread popularity with over 300 million video views and performing at the 2012 Olympics.
Idea sheet
1. The document lists ideas involving two things happening including a firestarter and a house raid followed by a car chase that turns into a foot chase while carrying instruments.
2. It also provides a songlist for a "Short change hero" including songs like "How you like me now", "Such a fool", and references not sitting down because a chair was moved.
3. Additional ideas involve motion capture walking while laying down, a single reverse shot moving through a busy town, and filming around a poker table in a casino as someone is losing to the song "Don't sit down cause I've moved your chair".
Question 1
Our film Red Powder uses several conventions of real media productions such as titles, establishing shots, studio logos, and diegetic and non-diegetic music. It challenges stereotypes by having the likable character be the supposed villain and vice versa. Sounds were mixed diegetically and non-diegetically to make the car scenes more realistic. Locations included a large house for the drug dealer scene and an apartment to contrast the characters. Costumes were used to signify the characters' wealth, power, and decline. Props like guns were used to engage audiences as is common in thriller films. Different shots represented the emotions of the two main characters. The film introduces music to set the scene and immerse audiences.
