The document discusses how the student's media product opening scene both fits and challenges conventions of independent films. It fits conventions by using sad music to elicit sympathy for the plain protagonist and focusing on her daily life with minimal dialogue. However, it challenges conventions by showing the sad rather than jolly part of the story at the start and having titles in bold colors rather than plain like typical independent films. The student aimed to represent the genre but also try something different from their previous horror genre work.

Media evaluation questions
The document discusses an opening title sequence for a film project. It provides analysis of several shots from the sequence. The shots establish the setting as a college, introduce the main character as a student, and hint at the genre as a thriller through props like a weapon. Feedback was gathered through questionnaires to help engage the intended audience of male students interested in similar films. The filmmakers learned skills in using camera and editing equipment to construct the title sequence.
Evaluation Question 1
The document discusses how the media product challenges conventions of the social realism genre in three key ways:
1) It features all female characters rather than following the typical male-dominated narratives. This portrays the strong female characters overcoming difficulties alone.
2) It features Asian characters in the leading roles, challenging stereotypes that social realism stories only surround white or black characters.
3) Rather than revealing all backstories immediately, it gradually reveals details about the characters' problems throughout the opening to build intrigue. This pacing technique deviates from conventions.
Media question 1
The document discusses conventions used and challenged in a music video for an indie rock song. It used a narrative-based storytelling approach throughout instead of only during the chorus, as is conventional. Close-ups of the character were used to convey emotion and engage viewers, rather than close-ups of the artist. Voyeurism and the recurring diary image also linked the visuals to the lyrics and story being told. A consistent visual style and branding was developed across the music video and other promotional materials using similar fonts, colors, and imagery.

- Choosing to set the film in a house to conform to genre conventions while allowing realistic filming locations.
- Dressing the female protagonist in tight but casual clothing to appear feminine without being overly sexualized, as inspired by films like "What I Did Last Summer".
- Costuming the antagonists in masks and casual clothing but dressing the female antagonist in a revealing

Question one
The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media. Specifically, it analyzes the opening sequence of a youth crime genre film called "Fragmental".
The opening sequence uses conventions from other youth crime films like introducing the main character, indicating themes of crime, depression, revenge, and murder through music, facial expressions and titles. However, it challenges conventions by using a female protagonist instead of the typical male.
The sequence builds tension by only showing partial shots of the main character and not fully introducing them. This develops conventions used in other media like TV show "Misfits" that leave the audience questioning what will happen next.

Movie poster research
The document discusses the process of creating a movie poster for a student film. The author conducted research on existing horror movie posters, analyzing styles, imagery, and themes. They noticed posters typically featured the monster or main characters. For their film, the author chose not to show the monster since it remains ambiguous. Instead, they designed their poster around the main character and used lighting, composition and costume to hint that something is lurking in the background to provoke fear. The final poster they created features the main character hesitating at the top of stairs with an ominous atmosphere and muted colors to intrigue audiences without revealing details of the film.
Evaluation question 2
We used various film techniques like camera angles, editing, casting actors of certain ages, elements of mise-en-scene, and sound design to represent particular social groups in our zombie film. Camera angles and close-ups were used to manipulate viewers' perspectives and show elements like a nurse's authority or a zombie's rotting flesh. Edits like fades and jump cuts conveyed the passage of time and the zombie's impaired mental state. The ages of the actors, who were between 15-30, matched our target audience. Outfits and setting details made characters seem fashionable and appealing to younger viewers. Sounds like a voiceover and title music from "The Thing" aimed to portray fear and attract fans of that
Digipak design ideas
- The document outlines design ideas for a digipak album cover depicting two sides of a person's identity - a "girly" side and "boyish" side. Photoshop will be used to achieve certain effects.
- A model will portray the main character to relate the album to the music video. Pink and blue colors will symbolize the internal conflict between identities.
- Only the title track will be listed on the back cover to encourage buying the full album, where the other tracks are listed. This creates intrigue around the album's full contents.
Evaluation question 1
This document summarizes the key conventions the author learned about from researching real music videos and digipak designs. The author included many conventions in their own media product, such as close-ups of the singer to emphasize lyrics and convey messages, varied shots and editing to keep the video engaging, and mis-en-scene to set the atmosphere. However, some conventions were not included, such as explicit resolution, to leave interpretation open and not patronize the audience. The digipak design featured the main character to draw recognition from the video and emphasized the themes, while excluding the full tracklist to generate mystery.
Evaluation 3
The filmmakers received feedback on their music video from 9 completed questionnaires. Respondents generally understood and connected with the storyline. Suggestions for improvement included adding more characters, using more shots at different locations, and defining the ending more clearly. The "voyeurism shot" was praised, but transitions were seen as too rushed. Costume design for the bullied character could also have been improved to better fit the storyline.
Trailer Evaluation
The group chose to make a romantic comedy film as that genre fit their age range and interests. They aimed the film at a younger audience and used conventions of the genre like a breakup and struggle to get over it. However, they put a twist on conventions by having the male character be the one struggling after a breakup rather than the female. They used research on mise-en-scene, costumes, settings and music to match realistic romantic comedies. Audience feedback helped them name the film and shape it to interests. They used Premier Pro and Photoshop software in production and promotion.
Evaluation question 1
This document discusses conventions used in comedy films that the author's media product draws from or challenges. It examines conventions around setting, camera angles/cinematography, sound, plot, acting, and title sequences based on research of films like Get Hard and Grown Ups. For their comedy film opening, the authors incorporated relatable school settings, exaggerated characters following rom-com plots, and title sequences to define character personalities. Their goal was to utilize genre conventions to create humor while still appealing to their target teenage audience.
Question 1
The document summarizes the process a group took in developing a TV show for their target audience of 13-15 year old males. They started with audience research to understand preferences. They then researched popular shows in the genre to identify conventions to follow, such as opening credits style and music. Location filming and song selection were chosen to match conventions. Character archetypes were based on common tropes, though they focused on one group rather than including all types.
First question
The document discusses the filmmaker's media product, a thriller film trailer titled "HUNT". The filmmaker chose the title because it describes the essence of the film and creates a sense of urgency. The opening shot is extremely long to portray the main characters' normal life and create a false sense of security, mimicking conventions from films like Final Destination. Text screens are used throughout to engage viewers and involve them in the story, drawing them into the trailer. The filmmaker developed conventions from real media products to make the trailer feel authentic and engaging for viewers.
Evaluation Q1

It examines how the sequence fits conventions of the social realism genre, including having a low budget, using unknown actors, filming on location, and using long shots and close-ups. It also discusses how the sequence's use of color, diegetic sound, and credits challenge some conventions to enhance the story. The author evaluates ways they successfully and unsuccessfully met or challenged conventions to realistically portray emotions and character development.
Evaluation Q1
In what ways does your product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Media evaluation question one
The document discusses the genre and narrative conventions used in a short film. The genre chosen was a chick flick/fantasy hybrid telling a modern Cinderella story. Codes like romantic leads meeting and finding love were followed. Conventions like a happy ending were also used. The film challenged norms by using black and white at first, switching to color for the transformation scene. Levi Strauss' binary opposites theory highlighted differences between characters. Nick Lacey's genre schema was also applied.
Skills profile
Our choice of cast and costumes helped highlight Ethan's neglect and lack of privilege. While the preliminary location of an upper-class school did not fit the genre of social realism, we followed filmmaking rules and techniques like the 180 degree rule and shot reverse shot. For the main production, I helped plan shots and apply editing skills to depict Ethan's unstable life, but wish I had taken more individual responsibility earlier in the process. Going forward, I want to get more audience feedback and solidify ideas before production.

Our media product uses conventions of the action genre in its opening sequence, such as typical shots, titles and editing, to engage audiences familiar with the genre. However, we also challenge some conventions, like using a rock music track instead of typical choices. As the sequence continues, the tone shifts from a typical action opening to one with mysterious, psychological thriller elements. The initial representations of characters in the sequence portray some stereotypes, like the female being naive and the male taking control, but the full film was planned to subvert some of these expectations. We aimed to attract teenage and young adult audiences of both genders by making the female protagonist a stronger character and the male appealing to both genders.

The document discusses how the film uses conventions of the social realism genre. It does this through the location, actor, use of diegetic sounds and original score, independent production companies, and low-budget production. The run-down house used as the filming location fits social realism conventions. While the actor has theater experience, using an untrained actor also fits conventions. Diegetic sounds were not used despite being a genre convention. Independent production companies and low-budget aspects meet conventions. Overall, the film aims to develop a sense of realism through its use and challenge of certain genre forms and conventions.

Overall, the opening sets up the genre and story while introducing the characters and hinting at the themes through its use of conventions from similar films.
Question 5
When casting actors for their film, the filmmakers considered the demographics of their target audience, who were under 35, and cast actors of a similar social class. This included casting a 16-year-old to play the mother and a 5-year-old to play her child. Throughout the film opening, they use conventions like low-key lighting and a slow editing pace to attract audiences to the genre of psychological horror. They also included a role reversal with strong female characters and no male figures to appeal to audiences who wanted to see this. The plot of a child going missing in an abandoned house engages audiences through mystery while differing from other films through its lack of male characters.

Question 1
This document analyzes the conventions used in the opening sequences of psychological horror films and compares them to the student's own media production. It finds that the student's opening followed several conventions, such as introducing the distribution companies, using a dramatic title design in white text on black, limited camera movement, establishing shots, and unsettling non-diegetic music. However, the student also challenged some conventions by having their first scene in daylight rather than low light, using more midshots rather than just close-ups, and minimizing issues with diegetic sound editing. The analysis found the student both effectively utilized common horror film techniques but also developed elements of their own to surprise the audience.

Lifecycle of a GME Trader: From Newbie to Diamond Hands
Your phone buzzes with a Reddit notification. It's the WallStreetBets forum, a cacophony of memes, rocketship emojis, and fervent discussions about Gamestop (GME) stock. A spark ignites within you - a mix of internet bravado, a rebellious urge to topple the hedge funds (remember Mr. Mayo?), and maybe that one late-night YouTube rabbit hole about tendies. You decide to YOLO (you only live once, right?).
Ramen noodles become your new best friend. Every spare penny gets tossed into the GME piggy bank. You're practically living on fumes, but the dream of a moonshot keeps you going. Your phone becomes an extension of your hand, perpetually glued to the GME ticker. It's a roller-coaster ride - every dip a stomach punch, every rise a shot of adrenaline.
Then, it happens. Roaring Kitty, the forum's resident legend, fires off a cryptic tweet. The apes, as the GME investors call themselves, erupt in a frenzy. Could this be it? Is the rocket finally fueled for another epic launch? You grip your phone tighter, heart pounding in your chest. It's a wild ride, but you're in it for the long haul.

Question 1 evaluation
- 1. Question 1Question 1 Evaluation. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
- 2. Our genre was independent films, which was import when we had to plan our work as we needed to know what was important to include when planning. The always include; A young protagonist and someone in which the audience can feel sorry for in a certain way. A form of a cliff hanger. The order of titles to be appealing. Limited dialogue Limited location shots. Story line being focused on the young protagonist. After looking at some filming techniques commonly used in independent films we thought that would go on to establish certain conventions for the independent film we felt more confident in applying this to our own ‘independent film’ opening. Looking on shots was a technique I think could work well in establishing the lack of excitement and simple lifestyle of our young protagonist when filming as we introduce our character by walking through a grave yard.
- 3. Juno- A independent film.Juno- A independent film. Juno is a perfect example of the character as she is not glamorous and this contradicts most common films where the girl is perfect in looks, although this does stick to our genre. In the Juno opening sequence there is a happy song which makes the audience get a feel of the character is feeling so we decided to put a slow song in our opening sequence so the audience get a feel of sad emotion in which our character is feeling. This title follows the conventions of our genre.
- 4. How does our opening scene fit withHow does our opening scene fit with the conventions?the conventions? We tried our best to fit our sequence to match the conventions, for a start we put sad music to help our character have sympathy so the audience feels the emotion. Also we have stuck to a simple story line in which most independent films do so from the start you get a straight forward understanding of what's going on, our character is plain and simple as well fitting to the conventions so our audience will more likely be able to relate to our character. The order of our title flow like they do in independent films fitting with the conventions. We also used minimum dialogue in our task and focused on the music which is another part that matches and fits the conventions of our genre. Also our sequence fits as we are following our character through her acts of daily life which is common in independent films.
- 5. GenreGenre We decided on independent genre as this type of genre is becoming less common now and we thought this could be an opportunity to help it become more recognised again. As we done a horror genre for our preliminary task we want to try some thing different in order to get a feel of how different genres vary and the different ideas and conventions which change throughout genres. This gave us an extra opportunity to show off some more skills which we didn’t use in our preliminary task.
- 6. How our opening scene didn’tHow our opening scene didn’t fit the conventions.fit the conventions. There were certain elements in which our opening sequence didn’t fit the genre of independent and its conventions, for a start our task shows the sad part of the whole story line at the start of the film where as in typical independent films the opening scene is quite jolly. This also applies to our character as although our character was different to other genre characters by wearing normal clothes the emotion didn’t fit the genre as normally independent characters come across as different and happy but ours was normal and sad. Our titles didn’t quite match the genre as in common opening sequences the writing is all in one colour and plain where as ours is bold and in different colours, we done this to make the writing of our titles representing love.
