The document describes a 2 minute film opening with 4 characters - a kidnapper played by Ruhan, a kidnapped girl, a detective played by Jamiul, and a detective's secretary played by Sana. The kidnapper, dressed in a hooded sweatshirt, is portrayed negatively as randomly picking the girl. This portrayal reinforces stereotypes of teenagers as dangerous with criminal intentions. Ruhan's costume as the kidnapper, with a hooded sweatshirt and dark dull colors, aims to represent him as a looming threat through his closed-in body language.

Representation for q 2
The document discusses representation in film openings. It analyzes a film opening created by the author's group and identifies two representations:
1) A character who drinks, smokes and does drugs represents "outsiders" and suggests such behaviors can lead to violence.
2) A ballerina character represents girls interested in femininity but subverts expectations by having a "dark side", showing that appearances can be deceiving. Both representations are meant to surprise and create intrigue for the viewer.
Evaluation Question 2
1) The document discusses how different social groups are represented in media, including social class, gender, age, mental ability, and disability.
2) In the film opening, the main character Joel is represented as being part of the underclass social group through aspects like his living situation and lack of possessions.
3) While gender stereotypes often show males as protectors and females as needing protection, the film challenges this by depicting the female character Bonnie as protecting the vulnerable male character Joel.
Question 2 done
The document discusses representation of social groups in media. It notes that stereotypical roles in social groups include the mean, pretty leader for girls and the powerful, controlling man for guys. However, the film opening features some countertypes, including a female detective who works alone rather than in a team as is typical. It also features a Muslim female forensic expert, rather than the usual male forensic. While the dead girl in the opening reinforces the stereotype of vulnerable females, overall the film aims to represent different social groups through countertypical characters.
Question 2 eval q
This document summarizes how the filmmakers represent the main character and another character through mise-en-scene, camerawork, editing, and music in their psychological thriller film. The main character is a wild and rebellious teenager, represented as vulnerable, weak and scared through close-ups, quick editing, and tense music. Her bedroom and isolated outdoor locations also portray her personality. The other character is portrayed as scary and creepy through close-ups, long shots, boom sounds, and darker music to build tension as she approaches the main character.
Evaluation question 2
This document discusses how a media product represents various social groups through its characters. It analyzes the representation of social class, age, gender, and ethnicity in the opening of the media product. For social class, the characters both reinforce and challenge stereotypes of the upper and lower classes. For age, the younger character owning the mansion challenges stereotypes. For gender, only including male characters upholds stereotypes. For ethnicity, only including white characters reinforces stereotypes about white criminals being of higher status than non-white criminals. In conclusion, the representations both use and challenge stereotypes, but could improve representation of other groups going forward.
Hey Sparrow Analysis
The documentary analyzes a short film that tells the story of a young girl through simple visuals and camera shots. It introduces the lonely girl and follows her as she collects various objects throughout her day. The calm music and sunny shots create a peaceful atmosphere. The jump shots eventually lead to a reveal that the girl has used the collected objects to build herself a friend, bringing the narrative together in a heartwarming way. The documentary focuses on this short film due to the artistic yet simple visuals and the inviting nature of the young main character.
Question 2 (media)
The document analyzes how the media product represents social groups through its antagonist and protagonist characters. Specifically:
- The antagonist is portrayed as a typical intimidating male like Hannibal Lecter, though he differs in having no dialogue or backstory revealed.
- The female protagonist is intended to appear vulnerable as a stereotypical victim who is easier to manipulate. Her vulnerability increases throughout the opening as she receives a threatening text message while alone.
- Both characters are compared to those in the film Copycat, with the protagonist mirroring the initial confidence and later vulnerability of Helen Hudson's character in that film.
Isadora and lauren’s evaluation activity 1
The document discusses how Isadora and Lauren created the opening to their media project to fit thriller conventions. They used techniques like limited lighting, plain colors and props to set a creepy mood. They also filmed scenes in one continuous take using a handheld camera to build tension. The opening establishes the main character as a lonely teenager struggling with schizophrenia, setting up the story and genre as a realistic thriller through these stylistic choices in their filming and editing.

Evaluation 1
This document summarizes how the media product "39 Weeks" uses and develops the conventions of the drama genre. It uses emotional themes like drug addiction, racial prejudice, and characters in conflict. It shows an extreme side of teenage pregnancy by having the protagonist smoke while underage. It develops the genre further by making the film about the protagonist's journey of sorting her life out after realizing her responsibility, rather than a typical realization at the end. The film also draws similarities to "KiDULTHOOD" through a scene of the protagonist walking alone with music, emphasizing the drama genre. It aims to challenge expectations by contrasting the protagonist's personality and appearance with her surroundings and home.
Question 2 - Media evaluation
The document discusses the representation of social groups in psychological thrillers. It analyzes the representation of characters in the film "Orphan" and the creators' media product. The media product represents the main character as an adult male who was deprived of a normal childhood due to being raised in an alcoholic family, leaving him psychologically scarred. He takes the identity of a clown from his childhood toy. The character targets happy children, as he was deprived of a happy childhood. Through costume, makeup, facial expressions, and location, the character is represented as emotionally stunted from his traumatic upbringing. The film also represents a young victim character - a happy little girl living a normal childhood, contrasting with the clown's

The document aims to accurately portray these social groups through techniques inspired by other thriller films.
Evaluation q2
The document describes two characters in a film. Character 1 is a woman in her early 20s, as evidenced by the professional photography props around her. She is part of the working class. Character 2 is another woman around the same age, also shown by props - bright lights and a green backdrop. Like Character 1, she is part of the working class. Both characters are young women who work professionally in the film.
Question 2
This document summarizes how a media product represents particular social groups through its main character. It discusses how the main character represents teenagers and young adults who are wild and rebellious. This social group was chosen to bring diversity to the psychological thriller genre, which typically does not feature these characters. The character is represented as vulnerable, weak, and scared through close-up camera shots showing her facial expressions, quick editing to build tension, and a 360-degree shot showing her isolation. Music is also used to represent the main character's emotions and convey she is initially wild but turns innocent and calm, before becoming tense and scared.
Question 2 Evaluation
This document summarizes how a media project represents teenagers and young adults as a social group through its main character, Amber. It describes Amber as rebellious and wild, unlike typical shy horror characters. Amber's costume, makeup, facial expressions, and body language are described as portraying her daring and fearless personality. The locations and camera shots are chosen to enhance Amber's rebellious nature and show her curiosity leading to danger. The music also starts calm but builds tension to represent Amber's interests diverging from her friend's and her vulnerability increasing as she explores alone.
Still image analysis
This document analyzes and summarizes still images from three different films to identify how mise-en-scene, setting, camera angles, characters, and other formal elements are used to convey genre and meaning. For the first image from "The Shining," it notes how the dull colors, lighting, and close-up shot of the main character's face create a sense of horror and psychological tension. In the second image from "You've Got Mail," it discusses how the bright lighting, background bookshelf, two-shot angle of the characters looking at each other signify a romantic genre. It then analyzes student-created still images meant to depict the thriller genre and how they use darkness, shadows and crime/action
Social Groups
This document discusses the representation of young females in a media product. It summarizes that the female character, Jennifer, represents a middle-class young woman based on her clothing. She has been kidnapped, representing the common trope of portraying vulnerable females as victims. The document also discusses looking at other female thriller characters, such as Lisbeth Salander from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, for inspiration on Jennifer's appearance and style. It notes Jennifer breaks stereotypes by taking action to help herself rather than waiting as a typical victim might.
Evaluation Question 2
The document discusses the representation of characters in media and how it influences audience expectations. It provides examples of characters represented in the opening sequence of a thriller film being analyzed. The photographer character is represented as mysterious through close-ups and a rugged appearance hiding their identity. The model is vulnerable as stereotypical but the audience does not expect to see her future of being strangled. Another character from the film Se7en is compared, who slices their own skin to hide fingerprints, suggesting they are antagonistic and hiding a dark secret. A character from Taxi Driver of a young vulnerable prostitute is also examined, which challenges expectations of the thriller genre. In conclusion, representation is important for audiences to identify characters' personalities and states.
Black Swan - Psychological Thriller

The villain is intentionally left unnamed and has their face concealed, following thriller conventions to build mystery. Victims include an innocent young girl meant to elicit empathy, and an older victim whose resemblance to the girl helps the audience understand the hero's motivation. A head of police is represented as stressed but dedicated through his disheveled appearance and focused work.
Conventions of psychological horror
The document discusses conventions of psychological horror films. It provides examples of how plot, narrative, characters, setting, music and sounds, and camera techniques are often used, developed, or challenged in the genre. For plot, something from a character's past typically affects them later in life. Narratives sometimes use nonlinear storytelling and flashbacks. Characters commonly have psychological problems that impact others. Settings include towns and institutional buildings. Music and sounds are used to create tension, and camera techniques like close-ups focus on facial expressions and reactions.

Regarding Black Swan specifically, it explains that Aronofsky embeds strong obsessions in the main character Nina that drive her toward self-destruction in her pursuit of perfection as a ballerina.
Black swan analysis
The trailer for Black Swan uses several techniques to build suspense and intrigue potential viewers. It begins calmly and gradually increases tension through dark cinematography, quick cuts between shots, and a rising musical score. Close-ups on the main character's eyes and injuries hint at her deteriorating psychological state. The trailer also establishes rivalry between the main character and another dancer without providing full context, leaving the audience wanting more information. Text cards advertise the film's stars, directors, and release date to generate interest. Overall, the trailer employs standard thriller conventions to engage viewers through mystery, psychological distress, and a sense that more of the story remains untold.
How does your media production represent particular social groups?
The document analyzes how two characters from a student's thriller opening represent particular social groups.
The main character, a schoolgirl victim, and the serial killer character are both compared to characters from the films It Follows and Orphan. Both the student's characters and the film characters could be placed in the social groups of young teenagers/girls based on their innocent appearances. However, the serial killer character subverts expectations by taking on the unexpected role of the predator/killer rather than the victim. Meanwhile, the Orphan character is even more surprising given her portrayal as an innocent young child before being revealed as the killer.
How does your media product represent particular social
This document discusses social groups and how they were represented in a thriller film. It describes two main social groups: male villains and female victims. The villain is presented as obsessive, violent, and selfish. He murders his ex-girlfriend out of obsession. The victim is innocent, unsuspecting, and frightened. Her character is based on victims from other films to portray vulnerability. Both characters are presented through costume, lighting, camera shots and other techniques to effectively portray their social roles in the thriller genre.
Question 1
This document analyzes how the media product complies with stereotypical features of supernatural horror films. It finds that the intro conforms to conventions in several ways: the victims are innocent and attacked unprovoked in an isolated woodland setting, the antagonist is a possessed young girl, and the plot and editing create tension without special effects. Cinematography, sound, mise-en-scene, and color palette also match horror film tropes to set the tone and imply supernatural influence.
Male Gaze - Based on Mulvey’s, Ferguson's, Shroeder’s and Millum’s Theories...
The document discusses theories of the male gaze and how it is portrayed in different media. It defines the male gaze as the way in which men look at and objectify women for visual pleasure. Several theorists such as Mulvey, Ferguson, Schroeder, and Millum are discussed who identified different types of gazes including the spectator's gaze, invitational gaze, and seductive gaze. Examples are provided of how the male gaze is portrayed through close-up camera shots of women's bodies in films, photographs, and music videos to attract the attention of a male audience. Criticisms of early theories are mentioned, such as a lack of consideration for female audiences.
Character mise-en-scene: Clara Barroso
The document discusses the character mise-en-scene for the filmmaker's short film. It describes the two main characters, Joana and Margarida Goncalves, who are sisters. Joana, age 9, represents next generation kids and was chosen for her colorful dress that helps her stand out in nature scenes. Margarida, age 13, represents today's teenagers and was chosen for a dark blue dress that adds shadows as she walks alone near water. The filmmaker wanted the characters to be themselves but represent specific groups for the audience to relate to.
Task 2 media studies
The document discusses the creation of a villain character for a film. The villain is inspired by the killer in the film "Choose" who wears a hood, dark clothing, and mask to conceal their identity. Teenagers were chosen as the target social group because villains in thrillers are commonly male and portrayed as intelligent and knowing how to avoid authorities. The villain's concealed face creates mystery and prevents understanding of their reactions.

Similar to Question 2
Character representation
The document discusses character representation in a film about teenagers. It describes several characters - a thuggish teenager who smokes drugs and bullies others, representing a stereotypical view of teenagers; and a bullied ginger teenager who is depicted as less popular with few friends. The characters wear clothing like hoodies and chinos to appear as youths. Their behavior, like doing drugs and bullying for fun, portrays teenagers as irresponsible and criminal. Character representation also involves race, showing white males as powerful and a black female friend of the ginger kid as powerless. The title "Rise of the Ginger" refers to the bullied character rising up against his bullies in the end.
Media1
The document discusses how the media product represents various social groups through its use of stereotypes, camera angles, editing, depiction of social groups, lighting, expressionism, and typography. It represents teenagers and women in stereotypical ways but also aims to subvert some expectations. Teenagers conform to horror movie tropes while the main character, a girl, is depicted as vulnerable. However, the film also aims to challenge stereotypes by having the girl figure out who the killer is. The document analyzes how various technical elements were used either to support or subvert common representations of social groups in horror films.
hhCharacters
The document discusses several characters that represent different social groups:
- The villain/murderer represents a dark, mysterious, and evil social group. They are often portrayed as wearing dark clothes to seem sinister.
- The detective represents the social group of law enforcers who bring justice. Detectives dress suitably in smart jackets and dedicate a lot of time to their investigations.
- The victim, Jane, represents an innocent social group who lives a good life until being murdered. She is dressed smartly for work.
- The assistant works under a respected authority figure like a detective and represents assistants who are professional but still adopt a rough look. They are often male-dominated roles
Representation for q 2
This document discusses representation in media through four aspects: mise-en-scene, camera, editing, and sound. It analyzes the representations in a film opening called "Split" in four ways. First, it represents the social group of alcoholics through dark makeup, clothes, lighting, and inclusion of drugs and alcohol. Second, it represents innocence and teenagers through a girly character design with bright lighting. Third, it represents the gender of girls through the main character's clothing and camera angles. Fourth, it represents disability through the main character Sophie who has schizophrenia, as shown through medical reports and an unsettling soundtrack.
Question 2
The document discusses the representation of social groups in the film opening for "Heart of Innocence". It represents two female characters - a young girl of 5 portrayed in a sinister way to seem superior and manipulative, challenging stereotypes of young girls in horror films. The other is the mother of the girl, searching desperately for her missing child, shown as strong and maternal in her actions without caring about her appearance, challenging stereotypes of women as weak and vulnerable in horror. By not including male characters and portraying the females as capable, it aims to represent women in a more positive light compared to other horror films.
2.how does your media product represent particular social
The document discusses representations of social groups, particularly gender, in horror movies and the author's own media product. It notes that males are typically portrayed heroically or villainously while females are usually victims or "final girls." It then analyzes the representations in its opening sequence, finding that one female character conforms to tropes as a vulnerable victim while the other subverts expectations as the aggressive villain. While intending to challenge norms, the narrative remains centered on resolving conflict between the male and female exes. It concludes by acknowledging other excluded social groups.
Evaluation Question Two
The document discusses how the media product represents two social groups:
1) The female victim is represented as innocent, helpless, and vulnerable. She is given childlike clothes and minimal makeup to show her innocence. High camera angles make her seem small and helpless.
2) The gang members are represented as threatening, menacing, and evil. They wear dark clothing and have serious facial expressions and laid back body language to seem casually threatening. Low camera angles make them appear powerful. Both social groups take inspiration from characters in films like Taken, Sin City, and Kill Bill.
Evaluation Task 2
The film includes a female character representing a middle-class English teenage girl studying in college, shown to be innocent and on her phone frequently like most teenage girls. It also includes a male stalker character dressed in all black to appear evil and scary without being too obvious initially to build suspense. Camerawork, lighting, editing and sound were used to manipulate audience perception of the characters, with dark lighting for the male and bright lighting for the female. While diverging somewhat from genre conventions by not using props for the male, the representations generally reinforce social stereotypes with the upbeat female and negatively portrayed stalker male.
Question 2 powerpoint evaluation
The document summarizes how the opening sequence of a short film represents different social groups through its use of mise-en-scene, cinematography, sound, and editing techniques. Specifically, it shows a young girl being preyed upon by an older male antagonist. Stereotypical gender representations are used where the girl wears pink and is vulnerable, while the antagonist wears dark clothing and hides his identity. Various shots are described that contrast the power dynamics between the two characters. The sound design and editing also aim to build tension and represent the girl as vulnerable to danger.

2
This document discusses how a film opening represents teenage girls in a thriller genre. It shows Lauren, a typical blonde teenage girl character, going for a run while wearing makeup, jewelry, and fitted clothes to maintain her stereotypical popular image. Through techniques like close-ups, the character is presented as attractive yet vulnerable to potential threats. While most victims in thrillers are portrayed stereotypically, the film tries to challenge some norms by showing Lauren maintaining composure despite discovering something frightening.
Narrative theory ppt
The document discusses various narrative concepts and how they apply to teen slasher films. It defines key concepts like narrative, hermeneutic code, Todorov's 5 stages of narrative, Propp's 31 narrative functions, and Levi-Strauss' theory of binary oppositions. It then provides examples of how these concepts are demonstrated in well-known teen slasher films like Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
In what ways does your media product use
The document discusses the opening sequence of a thriller film created by the author. The opening depicts a girl being attacked and raped, establishing the crime theme that continues throughout the film. The film challenges conventions by portraying the criminal, who seeks revenge, in a positive light and eliciting empathy from the audience. Low-key lighting, flashbacks, and aggressive music and titles are used to create tension and signify the protagonist's anger. The film was influenced by two other thrillers about female serial killers and revenge, but maintains enigma about the narrative through its opening sequence.
Media Evaluation Question 2
The document discusses how the media product represents various social groups through its characters. It includes 4 characters of different ethnicities with more females than males. It aims to appeal to a similar aged and ethnically diverse audience as the actors. Some stereotypes portrayed include teenagers rebelling through underage drinking. While most characters conform to stereotypes, one male portrays responsibility challenging age stereotypes. It aims to challenge gender stereotypes by having a female lead but still depicts women as vulnerable at times. The main character is mixed race, challenging expectations for the lead to be white. It potentially reinforces some stereotypes around mixed race people and location.

Question Two Improved
This document discusses how the media product represents different social groups through its main character Sally Blunt and villains. Sally is portrayed as a strong, independent female ex-FBI agent, challenging thriller conventions which typically feature male heroes. Her plain clothing and lack of dialogue create mystery. The villains wear dark clothes and masks to hide their identities and blend into the shadows, seen watching Sally in an unnerving manner. Sound, editing, cinematography and other techniques are used to build suspense and portray Sally and the villains in a way that follows thriller genre codes.
Theory meaning pro-forma
The document discusses various film covers and their design elements. It analyzes how the use of color, character placement, and other visual cues provide insight into the films' genres and target audiences. Pink is used on the Mean Girls cover to suggest it is girly. The main character is at the front to indicate the film focuses on her. Uniforms on the Wild Child cover show it is set in school but the main character rebels. Bright balloons on the Up cover grab attention and show the story is about different characters in the sky.
How do you represent social groups
This document summarizes the representation of different social groups in a film:
The villain/murderer is portrayed as a dark, evil, and mysterious character by hiding in darkness and wearing dark clothing. The detective is depicted as a professional, strong-willed, and determined man through his late night work and outburst. The victim, Jane, seems innocent through texting her boyfriend and wearing smart work clothes, highlighting her innocence. The assistant to the detective is shown as reluctant to bother his intimidating superior and also aims to appear professional.
Evaluation q1
The document discusses conventions and techniques used in a student thriller film. It describes using black and white cinematography and props like syringes to fit the thriller genre. Dark colors and lighting were used to create mystery and suspense. The main character was given a pale appearance through makeup to look worn out. The opening scene included twists and clues to intrigue audiences without fully revealing the plot. The film challenged conventions by including two consecutive storylines in the opening instead of one. The main character was established by showing her injecting drugs in her home after the deaths of her husband and child caused her to cope through drug use.

Question 2
- 1. There are only 4 characters that are featured in the film 2 minute opening there is one character, that Ruhan plans as the kidnapper/killer. Than there is a girl that gets kidnapped which is me and I play the victim. Than the other character which is the detective which is played by Jamiul and Sana had played the detectives secretary that was help organise the case. The representation towards the kidnapper/killer which was played by Ruhan is seen as negative in the opening, as it looks like he jus randomly picked the girl. We had used stereo type as Ruhan was dressed as a typical teenager in a hoody. This generation that is how they thoughts are on how teenagers are.
