Sept 11 interview
Kathleen McNulty recalls the chaos in her newsroom on September 11, 2001 after the terrorist attacks. When the first tower fell, the newsroom became frenzied as they tried to gather information for the public while dealing with their own emotions. It was difficult keeping emotions out as staff would take breaks to cry then return to work. McNulty interviewed survivors like Tom Canavan who developed PTSD, and Mayor Colette Lafuente whose husband was never found after going to the World Trade Center that day. McNulty still finds it difficult traveling to Manhattan as it no longer feels the same after 9/11.
Film synopsis
Two teenage boys receive mysterious phone calls and packages from an unknown man.

The film aims to be a thriller by concealing the man's identity and the contents of the packages to intrigue the audience and leave them questioning what occurred.
Authenticity as a Currency - Negotiations of Trust in the Media
The document discusses the concept of authenticity as a currency in broadcast and digital media. It notes that authenticity in media is constructed through negotiations between participants and depends on symbolic processes. Producers, audiences, and regulators negotiate expectations through established norms and genres to form an "authenticity contract." When this agreement is broken through deceptions or miscommunications, authenticity scandals can occur. The document outlines seven strategies used to construct authenticity in media, including predictability, spontaneity, immediacy, confessions, ordinariness, ambivalence, and imperfection.

Avatar was produced by 20th Century Fox, Lightstorm Entertainment, and Dune Entertainment on a much larger budget of £146 million and earned over £1.7 billion worldwide. 20th Century Fox targets a broader audience with films across multiple genres, while BBC Films focuses on smaller-scale drama films for an older audience.

Music video analysis katy perry, taylor swift, flo-rida
The document analyzes the music video for Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" using genre elements and conventions. It finds that the video features Katy Perry wearing little clothing to appeal to audiences as a sex object. It creates a party atmosphere to appeal to teenagers. Through props, colors, settings and more, it aims to depict a summer romance and convey a dreamy, fun atmosphere for teenagers using typical conventions. Overall, the analysis finds the video uses many repetitive elements that other pop music videos also use to appeal to teenage audiences.

About Hip-Hop
Hip-hop originated in the Bronx in the 1970s among African American and Latino communities. It began as a culture consisting of four main elements - rapping, DJing, breakdancing, and graffiti. Rapping involves rhythmic spoken word over beats, while DJs play music and create sounds using turntables. Breakdancing is a style of dance to hip-hop music. Graffiti involves writing and drawings on public surfaces. Hip-hop spread through block parties where DJs played and mixed genres of music for people to dance and rap over. It has since evolved into a global music genre and cultural movement centered around themes of struggle and self-expression.

Bbfc classification
The document discusses potential movie ratings for a film based on its content. A 12A rating would allow an intermediate amount of violence and swearing but not restrict many viewers. A 12A rating is suitable for a film with psychological themes and multiple murders displayed with some blood and gore. An 18 rating is not suitable since it restricts many viewers and the film would need to limit violence and swearing to avoid this rating which allows frequent gun use, blood, strong language, sexual content and discriminatory themes.

Independent film distributors can produce movies more cheaply than major studios like Universal Pictures. As a result, independent distributors release many more horror, zombie, slasher, and cult films. The main target audience for horror movies is 15-25 year olds, both male and female, as they have free time and can spread word about films through social media and with friends.

This document discusses the impact of auto-tune technology on the music industry. It describes how auto-tune was invented and how it allows correction of pitch in singing. It became popular with artists in the late 1990s and 2000s and is now accessible to the public through apps.

Institutional Research
The document discusses the results of institutional research on music genres and record labels. It finds that the artist "System" falls under the same genre as Drake, J.Cole, and Lil Wayne, which is featured on channels like MTV. It also lists BBC 1Xtra, Choice FM, and KISS as institutions that broadcast hip hop/rap music. The document considers Roc-A-Fella and Fresh Beat Recordings as potential record labels, concluding Fresh Beat would be better suited as it focuses on hip hop, is based in the UK, and includes both established and up-and-coming artists.

It also illustrates lyrics briefly, like showing West's watch during a line about owning Hublots and Rollies.
Question 2
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in a student thriller film. It focuses on age and gender representation. For age, the film features young child victims around 4-6 years old and a teenage villain of 14 years old. Most of the victims are children while the villains are usually adults in other thrillers. For gender, the main character is female unlike most thrillers, making the male the victim and female the villain, reversing typical gender roles. Scenes are filmed to make the female villain appear dominant over the male victim through frame size but still feminine through dark clothing and pale makeup.

Question 5
The document discusses how the opening of a film attracted its audience. It aimed to shock and intrigue viewers with strange music paired with unexplained murders and a plot twist where the murderer is a young girl, defying expectations. By watching other thrillers, the creators understood that keeping the audience constantly guessing about the plot and why events are unfolding keeps them interested in a good thriller.
Question 4
The document discusses choosing a target audience and age rating for a new thriller film called "Psychosis". It decides on a 15 rating to attract a wide audience, as 64% of UK cinema goers are aged 7-34, and 15-rated films have the highest number of releases and box office earnings. A 18-rating would restrict many potential viewers. The content of "Psychosis" fits best under a 15 rating to balance appropriate themes and maximum audience reach.
Question 4
The document discusses choosing a target audience and age rating for a new thriller film called "Psychosis". It decides on a 15 rating to attract a wide audience, as 64% of UK cinema goers are aged 7-34. A 15 rating had the most film releases in the UK and the second highest box office gross. While some thrillers are rated 12A or 18, the 15 rating was chosen to suit the film's content and make it accessible to the largest percentage of cinema goers.
Question 3
Castle Rock Entertainment was chosen as the distribution company because they have experience distributing thrillers like Misery, they have a high budget so the film will look professional, and most of their distributed films are well known so the thriller would get a lot of attention.
Question 2
The document discusses how a media product represents different social groups based on age. The thriller features young victims aged 4-6 and a 14-year-old villain. Most thrillers depict adult main characters dealing with psychological problems, unlike the film being discussed which features teenagers aged 14-15 dealing with such issues from a young age.
Question One
This document evaluates how a student media project challenges conventions of typical thriller/horror films. It compares the project's use of conventions like titling, camerawork, framing, lighting, editing, sound, and narrative structure to well-known films like Se7en. While some conventions like jump cuts and costume colors were used conventionally, the project uniquely used a lullaby for its non-diegetic sound and revealed the villain earlier than expected, challenging thriller norms. The analysis finds the project effectively uses juxtaposition between the innocent lullaby and darker plot involving child victims.
Certificate research done
The document discusses film certificate ratings in the UK and which rating would be most suitable for the author's psychological thriller film.
A 12A rating would allow the widest audience but may limit the level of psychological threat depicted. A 15 rating is regularly used for thriller films and allows stronger violence, language, drug use, nudity and sexual violence if brief. This is the most suitable rating for the author's film. An 18 rating significantly limits the potential audience and includes elements like strong horror, blood, and gore that are not needed for the author's film.

Question 5
- 1. How Did You Attract/Address Your Audience? The aim of our opening 2minutes was to draw the viewers in by leaving them wondering what’s going to happen. We aimed to shock our audience and intrigue them with the strangeness of the music in association with the unexplained murders in the film in addition to the murderer being a little girl who primarily everyone thought was a good girl and couldn’t possibly be the villain in the film. From watching other thrillers such as secret window and the butterfly effect I understood that a good thriller kept the audience guessing and interested in the plot/why its happening.
