The document discusses various aspects of filmmaking for a student film project, including:
1) Locations were chosen to match similar films like Kidulthood, including an exposed corridor near a train station.
2) Costumes and props were inspired by those films but adapted to their plot, such as a navy blue shirt to portray a character's exposure to the environment.
3) Editing was challenging after their editor disappeared, so they added title cards in white text over dark backgrounds as seen in Kidulthood.

Q.5 How did you attract/address your target audience?
The document discusses how the filmmakers addressed their target audience through various narrative techniques:
1) It poses unanswered questions for viewers, like why the girl is photographing the boy in the park.
2) It subverts the convention of starting in equilibrium by showing a disturbed girl after the death of her baby brother.
3) It uses binary opposites between the girl with the camera who lost her brother, and the girl in the park who still has hers.
4) Costume colors like white and red are used to signify innocence and danger for the boy, and black for evilness of the girl home alone. These attract audiences through symbolism without language barriers.
The Blair Witch Project Re-created trailer
This document analyzes the similarities and differences between a student-created trailer for "The Blair Witch Project" and the original film trailer. The student trailer replicated many elements of the original trailer, including using similar titles, recreating scenes showing the main character introducing herself and being interviewed, using establishing shots of forests, and shots implying being lost. Both trailers also end by simply showing the title of the film. The analysis discusses how replicating these elements made the student trailer feel authentic while building tension and suspense, similar to the effective original trailer.
EVALUATION - THE CONVERSATION
The student evaluated their short comedy film. They received feedback that the audience found the film amusing and enjoyed it, indicating the comedy genre came through successfully. While some shots were handheld and shaky, the student demonstrated a variety of shot types like establishing shots, close-ups, and zoom shots. They also successfully implemented a shot-reverse shot. For future films, the student plans to use locations and costumes more reflective of the characters and genre, incorporate more sound effects, and take still shots with a tripod to avoid shakiness.

Evaluation Question 1
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Mise en scen powerpoint
Mise en scene refers to the arrangement of visual elements within a film or theatrical production. It includes elements like color palette, costume, hair/makeup, props, staging, blocking, composition/framing, setting, proxemics, and off-screen space. These elements work together to set the mood, provide meaning, and help audiences understand characters. For example, dark colors set a scary mood while costumes and props provide clues to a character's personality or role in the story. Mise en scene is a key part of visual storytelling in film and theater.
Analysis of promotional package
The poster and trailer for the 2014 film Jessabelle use a similar background and color scheme, helping to create a recognizable brand identity. Releasing a spoiler image from the film of the main character in the bath with a demon, as seen in the trailer, generated buzz and interest by interlinking the image and trailer. This free publicity covered online and in magazines was an effective promotional strategy.
Question 1
The document discusses how the media product uses conventions of real horror films in its opening sequence. It establishes the main location and provides backstory on the missing girl. It also uses titles with an italic black font as seen in real films. Sound effects and music were added to create an eerie and suspenseful mood. While some conventions like dark shots without text were adapted, overall the opening sequence successfully employs horror film conventions through techniques like faded titles and establishing the film's location.
What have you learnt in the progression from the preliminary task to the fina...
Sapna reflects on what she has learned from her preliminary task to her final film production. For her preliminary task, she demonstrated basic understanding of continuity editing but felt it lacked effort. However, she enjoyed learning the rules. For her final production, she placed more emphasis on mise-en-scene, sound, cinematography, editing and location. She incorporated props and costumes to convey themes and chose locations to establish the film's setting. Through this process, Sapna gained a deeper understanding of techniques like rule of thirds, foley sounds, precise editing and using establishing shots to provide regional identity.
Careful Use of Mise-en-Scene
The document discusses the use of mise-en-scene elements in a student film project. It describes opting for simple black clothing for the female protagonist to make her more relatable to the teenage target audience and signify danger. Most scenes were filmed indoors to feel more personal and frighten viewers more, as was nighttime indoor filming when people feel more vulnerable. School was used as a setting to make scenes intimate and relatable to the target audience. An outdoor forest scene was included at the beginning to distort viewers with an unfamiliar location that would make them feel isolated and vulnerable.
Document Conventions
Documentary filmmaking utilizes several techniques to inform audiences:
Voiceovers provide explanatory context over archival footage to immerse viewers in real historical events. Interviews capture perspectives directly from individuals involved to make the documentary's narrative more persuasive and realistic. Montages efficiently convey changes in time or location through a series of shots to advance the film's storyline.
Film pitch presentation
The film pitch proposes a thriller/mystery about a man who discovers after dying in an accident that he remains unseen to others. The opening scene would show emergency responders at the accident site with the man coming to realize the dead body is himself. Through voiceover, he expresses confusion at being unable to communicate. The setting would be a rain-soaked roadside at night with eerie music and ambient sounds establishing his lonely and mysterious predicament as he seeks to understand how he died and what happens next.
Doc draft 3
The document discusses planning the presentation of a documentary filmmaker. It outlines choosing a casual yet sophisticated outfit for the presenter to relate to different age groups in the audience without being distracting. It also describes using a computer and camera as props to make the presenter seem interactive and to indicate she is filming a viral video. Lastly, it mentions filming at a park and library to allow interaction with videos without excessive background noise.
Conventions to an opening sequence
Conventions of an opening sequence include establishing equilibrium, disequilibrium, or normality at the beginning. Directors typically use close-ups and extreme close-ups of characters to show emotions and details. Titles are included to identify the filmmakers and set the tone. The soundtrack helps set the mood and genre. Establishing shots, mood, theme, and clues are also used to intrigue audiences and prompt questions about what will happen.
Film Moodboard
The mood board analyzes a film about a boy whose ambition comes true when he discovers something mysterious in a nearby lake. The mood board's green design reflects the film's theme of nature and how it relates to the boy and the meaning of the story. Images on the mood board show the boy being bullied for being different, finding the unknown object in the lake, using his father's boat to achieve his ambition, and making a decision in his green bedroom. The codes and conventions for the film include slow camera shots focusing on reactions, a mysterious editing style without added dialogue to build tension, quiet sounds establishing each scene, and outdoor lighting and settings to present a realistic view connected to nature.

The document provides analyses of three perfume trailers:
1) The Dior Addict trailer features bright lighting and colors, an uplifting song, and depicts the model dancing and receiving attention as she wears the perfume in St. Tropez.
2) The Christina Aguilera fragrance trailer uses bright lighting to create a positive vibe. It features Christina endorsing the perfume and implying the scent is so beautiful you don't need clothes.
3) Details are provided about the visual elements, audio, narrative, and textual components of each trailer to convey their messaging in promoting the fragrances.
Film Trailer Evaluation Q1
1) The document analyzes how the film trailer uses conventions of real film trailers and whether it challenges any conventions.
2) Key conventions used include showing the title at a dramatic moment with music, using realistic settings, appropriate costumes and props to portray characters, and varying camera angles.
3) The trailer also follows conventions of using different music to break up sections, steady pacing of edits to match the narrative, and mainly straight cuts for transitions.
4) One way the trailer challenges conventions is by using both black and white and color imaging to represent two different eras in the narrative.
Yr12mediaeq1
Our media product follows many conventions of drama films through the use of narration, an emotional storyline, scenes showing photos falling and the use of a voiceover. While it challenges conventions by using animated titles, which is unusual for drama films. The opening sequences use settings and props to show the main character's immaturity and the sound clip uses a simple piano line to subtly convey emotion, both of which are common techniques in drama films. Overall, the opening creates a strong emotional sequence that sets up the film through established drama film conventions.
Conventions comedy trailer
The document discusses conventions that will be used in the film trailer, such as depicting bullying for comedy through the protagonist's journey. Shots will show social differences between popular and bullied characters. Close-ups will react to uncomfortable situations, and locations like pubs will portray familiar settings to different audiences. The narrative will provide context for scenes and be used for both information and comedy, like in the film Ted. A montage with background music and narrative will introduce characters while maintaining the trailer's flow.
3 filmtrailers
The document discusses cinematography, sound, editing, and mis-en-scene techniques used in two horror movie trailers. For the first trailer, a handheld camera is used to give a personal feel, a single voice emphasizes a character's presence, and the main props are important to the film's point. Blank shots with no sound build suspense. For the second trailer, long shots and dim lighting create tension, blank shots with potential sounds scare the audience, red tinting gives an ominous feeling, and a normal-seeming barn setting implies danger could be anywhere.
Analysis of horror film poster
I have analysed a film poster from the horror genre which is the genre we will be doing for our trailer, poster and magazine cover.
Evaluation 5
Here is my evaluation of my media product which states how we addressed/attracted our target audience.
Stop Motion Animation
Stop-motion animation is a technique where physically manipulated objects are photographed as they change position to appear as moving images. Early stop-motion films from the 1930s were very basic in black and white with simply made images and models and unclear sound. By the 1990s, films like Wallace and Gromit showed improvements with clay figures giving a 3D look, clearer dialogue, and added colors. Modern films like Fantastic Mr. Fox have unbelievable detail and life-like graphics with flawless use of color and clear sound throughout, demonstrating how far stop-motion animation has advanced over the decades.
Alpha pupil analysis
The document discusses choices made in creating the trailer for the film "Alpha Pupil". Simple black and white fonts were used for the titles to give a clinical feel, positioned in the lower right corner. The name "Alpha Pupil" refers to the student subject of the experiment. Camera shots included a close-up of the subject's face and an establishing shot of the classroom. Dialogue was limited to focus on building tension. The music had a dark tone that matched the pacing - starting fast then slowing before speeding up again for the climax. The goal was to intrigue viewers and match shots of the experiment with backwards speech and music.
Q4
The document discusses the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), the independent organization in the UK responsible for classifying films. It explains that the BBFC uses an age rating system to classify films as U, PG, 12A, 15, 18, or R18 based on their content. The document also notes that properly classifying a film through the BBFC system is important to match the film to the correct target audience and avoid potential complaints. Finally, it states that if the author's horror film were submitted for classification, they would rate it as 12A to appeal to both teens and a wider target market.
Q7
The document compares the student's preliminary task completed 5 months ago in groups to plan their final individual project. For the preliminary task, they storyboarded, scripted, and tested camera movements with limited planning. They learned more planning was needed. For the final project, the student put more detail in shots, sounds, camerawork, used better equipment, researched techniques, and worked individually while collaborating with an actress. The preliminary task helped them learn and prepare for the higher quality final project.
Evaluation: Question 3
This document discusses potential film distributors and recommends BBC Films and MGM. It notes that BBC Films produces and co-produces successful British films that align with its mission to inform, educate and entertain viewers. MGM is a large distributor commonly used for spy films, making it a good fit for the document's British spy film featuring modern portrayals of women and ethnic groups. BBC Films and MGM would help distribute the film internationally while reflecting its cultural themes.

The film uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real car action films in several ways:
1) It subverts expectations with the title "The Prodigy" and a female protagonist instead of focusing solely on cars and racing.

It also uses flashbacks, fast pacing and an atypical ending to subvert expectations of the thriller genre while still including elements like ominous music, shadows and a dual protagonist-villain perspective. The film aims to engage audiences through relatable characters, themes of truth and illusion, and providing an emotional and mentally escapist experience.
Shadow presentation
The document discusses how the media product challenges conventions of real media products through its use of nonlinear narrative, unusual shots and editing techniques. It establishes continuity during filming through obeying the 180 degree rule and tries to match color grading when issues arise. It also uses flashbacks, fast pacing and an atypical ending to subvert expectations of the thriller genre while still including standard thriller conventions like ominous music and iconography. The film aims to engage audiences through an emotionally complex protagonist and themes of truth, illusion and bullying.
In what ways does your media products use (1)[2]
The document discusses how the filmmakers of a trailer incorporated conventions from real media products into their trailer. They used dramatic diegetic music at the beginning to grip viewers, similar to other trailers. They dressed their actors in gritty clothing stereotypical of working-class backgrounds. They filmed in Thamesmead, London which has a high African-Caribbean population to establish the characters' backgrounds. They included an aggressive scene, a character to feel sorry for, and a gripping scene with fast cuts to captivate audiences, as is common in trailers. The filmmakers challenged some conventions by having an all-female cast instead of the usual gang males.
Evaluation Question 1
1. Jessica Castledine filmed the opening scene for her post-apocalyptic film "Desolation" at Brierley Park to represent isolation.
2. Props like canned food and old clothes were used to show the character's scarce supplies and long-term survival.
3. The character's dirty appearance and torn clothing aimed to portray living rough for a long time without proper supplies.
SHORT FILMS
This document provides summaries of two short horror films. For the first film, it summarizes the narrative structure, character portrayal, ending, and intended audience. For the second film, it discusses the narrative, character representations, intended audience, production company, film techniques, and genre conventions. Both analyses focus on how effective various film techniques were at creating tension and mystery for the audience.
Evaluation 2
The document discusses how the media product represents social groups through its characters, locations, and props. The main protagonist is dressed similarly to typical film noir characters to imply an aggressive nature. The femme fatale is presented as a victim rather than a manipulator. Scenes take place in a dark, isolated park to show vulnerability. Props like an alcohol bottle represent certain social groups. Jazz music and voiceovers are used for their film noir conventions. The target audience includes those who enjoy thrillers and follow trends.
EVALUATION QUESTION 1 AS MEDIA
The document discusses how the media product uses and develops conventions of real films. It summarizes that the opening ident, title "Daddy's Girl", family home location, pink costume, close-up and long shots, editing with quick cuts and shot-reverse-shot, dark lighting, and bold white and red credits all develop conventions typical of horror films. The general concept of including death also uses conventions that have made other horror films successful.
Question 1 - Danny McGinn
The media project aimed to create a horror/thriller film that used and developed conventions of the genre. It used conventions like graphic blood and the color red to identify the genre and create intrigue. It challenged conventions by presenting the opening nightmare sequence in daylight rather than darkness. The narrative presented a confusing opening scene before a calming period, and camera work and editing created continuity between shots. Sound was used to suggest events were dreams rather than reality. Mise-en-scene and setting in the woods created familiarity with the genre. Inspiration was drawn from films like Insidious, It, Halloween, and Paranormal Activity.
In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conve...
The document discusses how the media product followed conventions of documentary form to appear professional. It considered challenging stereotypes with a male narrator but ultimately chose an older female narrator based on audience research showing preference. Key documentary techniques like lower thirds, rule of thirds, mise-en-scene, and narration are discussed and screenshots from the media product and other documentaries are shown as examples of implementing these techniques conventionally.
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.
Film Trailer Evaluation Q1
The document provides an evaluation of how the film trailer uses conventions of real film trailers and whether it challenges any conventions. It summarizes key elements of the trailer including the title introduction, settings, costumes, props, camerawork, editing, special effects, narrative, voiceover, and intertitles. The evaluation finds that most elements follow conventions but some aspects like the dual timeline with black and white and color footage challenge conventions.
Breaking evaluation final draft
The document analyzes the film opening conventions used in the author's short film "Breaking." It discusses conventions like opening credits over establishing shots, voiceovers, settings, costumes, shots, and lighting. The author aimed to represent modern teenagers and make the opening mysterious yet relatable by including bullying. Effects in the editing software Sony Vegas Pro 10 were also experimented with to convey the dark teen drama mood. The author learned the importance of planning shots thoroughly and understanding film grammar and opening conventions.
Strong femme fatale films
The document discusses how the filmmakers combined conventions from film noir and crime thriller genres in their opening film sequence. They incorporated elements like the strong femme fatale character and sophisticated costumes from film noir films. They also drew from crime thriller conventions like modern detective investigations and the use of lighting, sound, and camerawork to distinguish good and bad characters. The filmmakers challenged some conventions like relying less on dialogue and more on visual storytelling. They developed new elements like showing the femme fatale character seducing men to kill them, and used editing techniques like a "ghostlike effect" during a murder scene.
Breaking evaluation final
The document discusses conventions used in film openings, specifically teen romantic dramas. It analyzes the opening created by the author for their film "Breaking" which begins with the protagonist talking directly to the audience before the opening credits. Key conventions included are outdoor settings, costumes reflecting character types, camera techniques like low angle shots, and dark lighting to set the mood. The film is aimed at teenagers and explores themes of bullying. Overall, the opening challenges some conventions but adheres to others to effectively set up the film's genre and story.

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.

Question 2
- 1. HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUPS? BY EMMA DUFFIELD
- 2. COSTUME The white jeans represent innocence, however I subverted this representation as the female character was the villain. This ensured that my film opening didn’t give any hints to the audience Casual clothing, which ensures my film opening is relatable to the audience, as this is stereotypically the clothing that my target audience would wear. This includes affordable clothing, with no designer label. Costumes chosen are casual that an average person would wear.
- 3. LOCATION I chose the location of a forest as this creates mystery for my target audience. This therefore didn’t give any hints to my audience to the narrative of my film opening. It is conventional for the romance genre to include beautiful scenery, I therefore conformed with this convention and included a range of location shots. I included many location shots in order to present the setting to my audience.
- 4. REPRESENTATION OF PORTUGUESE I included subtitles within my film opening as my Portuguese character spoke his home language, and the female character also spoke Portuguese to denote to the audience that she was leading a double life. I included a low angle shot of the Portuguese character and the female to conform with the stereotype that Caucasians are more superior in comparison with other races. I included a drastic change of non diegetic soundtrack when the Portuguese character was shown within my film opening. This denoted that he was untrustworthy and has no respect for the females existing boyfriend.
