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.

Greg gets pressured into trying cocaine by his friends just once, but becomes addicted. The film aims to show that drugs never end well and can lead to problems like debt or fights with dealers.

Media social groups
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in media products for teenagers. It notes that there is often a prominent group of white teenage girls, usually with one popular leader. It shows this in its opening scene. However, it subverts some stereotypes by showing the girls working together and competing with boys rather than each other. The opening also supports the stereotype that girls can be manipulative and self-obsessed. While no boys are shown, they are still portrayed as the enemy to girls. Overall, teenagers are often shown split into cliques and rivalries, keeping in contact by phone, and spending much of their time at school.

In contrast, the character of Charlie is depicted as an unpopular "nerd". Stereotypical binary oppositions are used between the two characters, such as popular vs unpopular. The sole female character, Alice, is portrayed as the attractive girl that the nerdy character wants but can never get, as she prefers the cool guy instead, creating tension among the three leads.

Comedy aims to make audiences laugh through entertaining means like slapstick or situational humor. Common trends include ignorant main characters who break things or act inappropriately, with a moral lesson by the end. Character archetypes include the protagonist who causes unintentional problems, a teenager who helps them, and an antagonist affected by their actions. Comedies often show the consequences of a character's actions to convey a moral message. Visual techniques like long shots, point-of-view shots, and high angles are used to showcase humor through expressions, movements, and power dynamics between characters. Iconography like a protagonist's mannerisms or props are also signature to comedy genres.

evaluation7
I have learned a great deal in progressing from my preliminary video task to the full final product. For the preliminary video, I had no experience shooting with a DSLR camera and did not consider lighting or background noise. However, for my final video, I conducted research, wrote a script and treatment, and was more aware of proper camera angles and lighting. As a result, my final movie had smoother video and better quality overall thanks to added sound effects.

Eros International would be the ideal media institution to distribute the romantic comedy film because they have produced many top-grossing and record-breaking romantic comedies in Bollywood such as Ye Jawani Hai Deewani, Desi Boyz, and Housefull. Eros International is also successful in other genres with hits like Jai Ho, Rockstar, and Veer. As one of the leading production houses in India producing over 20 blockbuster films annually, Eros International would be well-suited to distribute a romantic comedy given their expertise and success in that genre.

The document discusses how social groups are represented in media based on age, gender, race, class and more. It notes that men are often shown as superior to women, who are depicted as sexual objects. Higher social classes are also typically portrayed as superior to lower classes. The movie "Selfless" represents these social dimensions by showing the protagonist as upper class through smoking shisha in a cafe and using a smartphone, while a girl in a coffee shop also signals her higher class.
Lighting plan
This lighting plan discusses the sources of light in different shots, with the source for an outdoor shot at a café being sunlight coming in through the window, while an indoor shot at a restaurant uses bulbs around the dining area as the main light source.
Media issues
Media issues face the social media industry today, including a lack of profits for most participants, branding and identity issues, resistance to cultural changes from those previously in power, and piracy. Specifically regarding piracy, while copyright industries claim it inhibits growth, reports show these industries have exceeded the US economy during the recession and employ more workers. However, piracy remains a major problem, as shown by 20th Century Fox actively monitoring the internet and demanding high fines from German subscribers for downloading content without permission, such as a single episode of Homeland.

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 no 1
- 1. EVALUATION QUESTION #1 In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
- 2. The genre of my film is romantic comedy, as mostly movies of this genre prosper in bollywood, which I have chosen as my institution. My media institution which is Eros international is mostly producing romantic comedies, some of them includes ye jawani hai dewani, cocktail, desi boyz, R…rajkumar, heyy baby… Ye jawani hai dewani is one of the top grossed movie of Eros international i.e. more than US $48 million.
- 3. The basic plot of a romantic comedy is that two protagonists, usually a man and a woman, meet, part ways due to an argument or other obstacle, then ultimately reunite. Sometimes the two protagonists meet and become involved initially, then must confront challenges to their union. Sometimes the two protagonists are hesitant to become romantically involved because they believe that they do not like each other, because one of them already has a partner, or because of social pressures. The ending of a romantic comedy is meant to affirm the primary importance of the love relationship in its protagonists' lives, even if they physically separate in the end.
- 4. My film ‘selfless’ shows a boy watching a match with his friend in a café, the dark lighting also shows the café environment. The dark environment confirms the genre and the mise-en- scene of the movie. The upper that he was wearing also helped the audience in identifying the team he supports as it showed the logo and the name of the team on the back. The wallpaper on his phone also showed him as being a die hard fan of the team.
- 5. In romantic comedies outfits are usually quite simple, for females they are usually girly and for male characters they are normally dressed quite simply. Props used in the film include the protagonist with a jacket of the team he supports, sheesha in the front showing them of younger generation, his dark blue car also represented his age as guys usually prefer dark colored cars.
- 6. Mostly in romantic comedies characters clothes are casual, not specifying anything in particular. In my film the protagonist is wearing an upper with a logo of a football team. The other character (protagonist’s friend) is also wearing a black shirt connoting that he also supports the team that the protagonist is supporting.
- 7. The protagonist wearing a jacket, sitting at café, smoking sheesha clearly represents his youth and his attitude towards others in life that he cares about everyone as he was shown sitting in a café with his friend and when his girlfriend called he just rushed out leaving everything for her. The girl at the restaurant also represents her as being young as she broke up with the protagonist because of him being late, and hooked up with another guy there at the restaurant.
- 8. Editing techniques used in romantic comedies is mostly normal paced as to show the energetic personalitites of the characters and similarly in my film the editing is also normal paced . Fade to black and fade to screen which is mostly shown, is also followed as per the romantic comedies.
- 9. The titles of the romantic comedies are mostly creatively written and are very much attractive, similarly my title is also creative.
- 10. Mostly romantic comedies do not show breakup in the opening scenes which I have challenging the romantic comedy genre. My movie does not show the protagonist’s love story rather it only shows their breakup,
