To attract their target audience of 16-25 year olds, the filmmakers of "The Forsaken" rated the film a 15 to allow for strong themes. They included features common to thriller films that they thought this audience would enjoy. Specifically, they used a close-up of a gorilla mask and a deepened voice to emphasize a character with a hidden identity. They believed this would appeal to an audience still finding themselves. The filmmakers also used a creepy song with mumbled voices and low synth sounds to set an unsettling atmosphere and draw audiences in while keeping some parts silent for suspense.

Ideas Pitch
This document outlines a pitch for a romantic drama film. It proposes that the film will follow a depressed boy and successful girl who fall in love despite their differing backgrounds. However, her parents disapprove of the relationship due to the boy's lack of success. The trailer will end ambiguously, leaving viewers unsure if the couple will stay together. Targeting teen females, the filmmakers plan to promote the trailer heavily on social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter to build anticipation. Key props and locations mentioned include a diary that brings the couple together, and scenes set on a train and in Central London.
Textual Analysis 2
This document provides a textual analysis comparing the films "Shouting Quietly" and "Happy-Go-Lucky". It analyzes similarities and differences between the two films in terms of characters, settings, camera shots, lighting, sound, and more. The protagonists of both films are female around the same age, but have differing personalities - Milly is introverted while Poppy is extroverted. Various camera shots like medium shots, close-ups and tracking shots are used similarly in both films to convey emotion and establish surroundings. The films also make use of natural lighting and soundtracks to set realistic atmospheres.
Evaluation question 5
The document discusses how the filmmakers addressed their target audience of 18-25 year olds, particularly male viewers who enjoy thriller and horror genres. Research showed that adding tension throughout the film opening would attract this audience. The film incorporates jump scares and intellectual puzzles to provide visceral and mental pleasures. A 15 rating allows younger viewers to relate to the 17-year-old main character. The suburban nighttime and graveyard settings further the horror theme and build tension for the audience.
Presentation1
This document provides a textual analysis of shots from a film in multiple paragraphs. Each paragraph analyzes a shot or sequence of shots to understand what they connote or imply about the protagonist Milly and her circumstances. The shots show Milly arriving at a new empty house alone, unpacking, eating alone, and then discovering art supplies and a covered object, which seem to intrigue her. The analysis uses mise-en-scene and film techniques to understand Milly's isolation and how she begins to engage with her new surroundings.
Evaluation 1
The document evaluates how the opening sequence of the film "Shouting Quietly" uses and develops conventions of the social realism genre. It discusses how the film incorporates conventions such as using unknown actors, low budgets, location filming, long shots, close-ups, camera movements, and diegetic sound. It analyzes specific shots and how they follow conventions, such as establishing shots, close-ups to show emotions, and the use of color to represent mood. The document also explores how some elements challenge conventions, such as the opening aerial shot and use of non-diegetic music. Overall, it examines how the opening meets, develops, and in some cases challenges conventions of the social realism genre.
Textual analysis
The document analyzes the opening sequence of the film "Bullet Boy" through its use of sound, mise-en-scene, characters, and cinematography. Soft piano music plays during emotional moments and stops for dialogue to emphasize words. The main character wears a tracksuit indicating his working-class background. Quick cuts are used when someone is discovered in the car's boot, moving the plot forward in a realistic style typical of social realism films. The sequence establishes the main character's release from prison and reconnection with his friend and brother set against the backdrop of their working-class community.
Rory Christian Critical Reflection 1
The document discusses conventions used in film openings and how to represent social groups and issues. It outlines some typical conventions like establishing shots, close-ups and tracking shots. It also discusses representing working class families and police brutality in openings. Examples from the film "Spittaz" are provided that show conventions like distributor idents and title fonts to portray a professional and familiar feel aimed at younger audiences. The opening plays upon ideas of oppression and problems with police through use of siren sound effects and characters hurriedly leaving an area.
Q5 evaluation
The document summarizes a student film project aimed at creating suspense and tension through the use of camera techniques and props. Shaky and blurred camera shots along with close-ups were used to build tension, inspired by the film "Se7en." Eerie music was chosen to accompany the scenes. The main actor wore a suit and plastic bag over the head to remain anonymous. Props like knives and hammers were included to imply potential death or murder. Based on its similarities to existing thriller films like "Se7en" but smaller production scale, the students believe their film is more likely to be considered a cult film shown on specialty channels initially before potentially partnering with larger companies.

Overall the film draws on realist conventions while also updating them to connect more directly with audiences.
Question 2

The film begins with everyday routines to draw the viewer in. Choosing a young actress who studies drama helps make the character and performance natural and realistic for teenage viewers to connect with. Referencing similar successful thrillers like "Hide and Seek" could encourage viewers by showing the links between films. The ambiguous poster is intended to intrigue and spark curiosity about what the film is about.

Creating the film opening helped the students learn editing skills and the importance of planning shots and dialogue to make smooth transitions between scenes.
Critical Reflection Question 2
The document discusses how the filmmaker's media product would engage audiences and be distributed. To engage audiences, the film uses elements of mystery, contrasting character portrayals, sound effects, and editing techniques. It would likely be distributed as a student film via marketing platforms like social media and premieres. If distributed independently, it could partner with a distributor like Revolver Films and be released theatrically and online, supported by common marketing strategies like trailers and print ads.
Evaluations questions
This document summarizes feedback on a student film project. It discusses how the film attracted its target audience of 16-24 year olds through its suspenseful plot similar to the film "Taken." It effectively used shots like match cuts, point-of-view shots, and aerial shots to involve the audience.

The characters and music built tension to engage viewers until the film's surprising twist ending.
Evaluation final
The document provides an evaluation of Arif Uddin's opening sequence for a horror film called "The Lost Silence." It discusses the title, setting, costumes, props, camera work, editing, title font/style, story, and how it establishes the horror genre. It also reflects on what was learned from the process and how it impacted production decisions. The evaluator aimed to slowly build tension and fool the audience into thinking it wasn't a horror at first. Key lessons were around planning costumes better to develop characters, and spending more time on editing to improve the final product and better convey the genre.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Question 5- MEDIA AS
- 1. How did you attract/address your audience? By Sarah.E.H
- 2. • For our media thriller film “The Forsaken” we made sure to appeal to a chosen target audience of young people aged 16-25. This is important to do, as it allows restrictions to be met, and also helps us to focus on what a social group’s needs. To help attract this specific audience, we had to make sure features they would enjoy were met and played out. We rated our film at a 15, which was suitable for our target audience and allowed appropriate strong themes to be shown. We then looked at what we should include to keep the viewer interested and what conventions they would like to see in a thriller film.
- 3. Emphasis on hidden identity • Close up of gorilla mask • Deepened voice • Surprises audience As our target audience was for teens/young adults, this made us think about what they go through in daily life. We brainstormed that they are still finding themselves in society, so by having this hidden identity they could possibly see themselves in it.
- 4. Sound • Clams Casino – I’m The Devil • You can hear mumbled deep voices and low synth sounds. It creates an atmosphere straight away drawing the audience in. • I made sure to keep some parts silent to add some suspense and keep the audience waiting to be thrilled. • Creepy sound/music • It was difficult to find royalty free music, but by checking on YouTube I saw that using this song was okay once it was mentioned and given credit to.
- 5. the film only shows the first two minutes of an entire film, we didn’t want to give away too much. To achieve a suspenseful effect, we had to make sure to leave the audience in a confused state, where they are questioning what happens next. Our opening is quite graphic and explained a lot through dialogue, so by removing the dialogue it doesn’t give too much away from the audience on what the plot is. Using a modern type of song would have instantly drawn a lot of attention to an audience, as their hearing senses are working. Using instrumental music over dialogue was more successful when paying attention to the opening credits also, so our viewer wouldn’t be too overwhelmed.
- 6. Specific moments that would attract our audience to our film are moments such as: • The zoom in close up of the gorilla monkey mask on the table. It connotes sinister themes and also looks very frightening. It leaves the audience feeling confused as they are still unsure of the hidden identity.
- 7. • The first shot of Lewis walking towards his house. The high angle shot makes him look weak and vulnerable. The black and white filter makes it appear more intimidating, as you only focus on him. It also makes the first scene very forbidden and foreshadows the chilling upcoming events.
