The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media. Specifically, it analyzes the opening sequence of a youth crime genre film called "Fragmental". The opening sequence uses conventions from other youth crime films like introducing the main character, indicating themes of crime, depression, revenge, and murder through music, facial expressions and titles. However, it challenges conventions by using a female protagonist instead of the typical male. The sequence builds tension by only showing partial shots of the main character and not fully introducing them. This develops conventions used in other media like TV show "Misfits" that leave the audience questioning what will happen next.

Question 1 evaluation
The document discusses how the student's media product opening scene both fits and challenges conventions of independent films. It fits conventions by using sad music to elicit sympathy for the plain protagonist and focusing on her daily life with minimal dialogue. However, it challenges conventions by showing the sad rather than jolly part of the story at the start and having titles in bold colors rather than plain like typical independent films. The student aimed to represent the genre but also try something different from their previous horror genre work.
Genre research
The document discusses various elements of the teen drama genre. It focuses on the genre of "coming of age" teen dramas and provides examples. Key elements discussed include characters (e.g. stereotypes like jocks and nerds), settings (typically high schools), narratives (following a protagonist who makes friends and faces hardships), style (using shots that establish locations and characters), and iconography (things like school sports games and prom night that symbolize the genre).
Ideas
This power point presentation outlines ideas for a British social realism film including possible plots, characters, locations, props, and costumes. The main character is a teenage girl dealing with issues like teenage pregnancy, family arguments, and recession. Key characters include her boyfriend, younger sibling, and single mother. Locations may include a flat, shopping estate, town center, car park, school, and park. Costumes aim to look casual and reflect the main character's unorganized nature as she gets out of bed in pyjamas and wears her boyfriend's hoodie. Sound, lighting, and dialogue will aim for naturalism.

The music video will tell a story of heartbreak through a female protagonist. It will have a narrative style showing the woman getting heartbroken in her everyday life as she walks down the street, with nobody noticing her sadness. The video will have a pop genre with a love song, using low key lighting and everyday clothing to portray normal people. Iconography like burning a photo will symbolize losing feelings from a past relationship. Camerawork like close-ups and tracking shots will follow the character and emphasize her facial expressions to move the love-to-hate narrative and get viewers to relate to the experience of a broken relationship.

Media Evaluation
The document summarizes the filmmaker's horror film opening and discusses how it represents conventions of the genre. It establishes a dark and isolated setting in the first scene to create an unsettling atmosphere. The second scene challenges conventions by being set in daylight. It only features a villain without a heroic character. The lighting continues conventions by using dark lighting for a murder scene and natural lighting when the body is discovered. The film represents homosexual and straight couples in a realistic way without stereotypes. It continues the genre convention of portraying women as vulnerable victims. The filmmaker concludes that Film4 would be a suitable distributor because it takes chances on low-budget and diverse films. The target audience is 15-35 year olds of
Genre
The document discusses a teaser trailer and posters for a coming-of-age film. The trailer uses a main character's narration as diary entries to communicate the coming-of-age genre. It has been an effective selling point as the target audience of 14+ can relate to the film's problems. The posters link to the trailer through matching fonts and slogans. Bright colors on the posters give the film a youthful feel fitting for the coming-of-age genre. One poster hints at a love interest through a girl leaning on a boy.
Pitch a2
The document proposes an idea for a short film that uses a "sliding doors" concept to show different outcomes based on choices a teenage boy makes when facing bullying problems at home and school. The film would show one scenario where he fights back and another where he takes a more passive approach, with the latter ultimately allowing him to survive at the end of the 5 minute film.

Anna contributed to a group project filming an opening sequence for a film. She acted in the video, helped write dialogue, filmed a close-up scene, and did much of the editing. The group's sequence used conventions like flashbacks and cross-cutting to make the film intriguing. It represented social groups stereotypically to fit the narrative but also challenged beliefs about the groups. The sequence would appeal most to a British independent film company because of its low budget style and controversial themes.

It establishes tension through shots of a woman preparing for prom while receiving mysterious phone calls. A twist occurs when she kills the man the audience assumed was the villain. This keeps viewers engaged by raising questions. The sequence represents teenagers through the female lead's prom dress, mirror shots showing insecurity, and phone use.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Question one
- 1. Q1 Evaluation Deborah oyelade. In what ways does your media product USE, DEVELOP or CHALLENGE forms and conventions of real media products? Our opening sequence uses codes and conventions of real movies and also challenges and develops some conventions. Our film fragmental is based around the youth crime genre. It shows conventions from other films that I have seen in this genre: kidult hood, Adulthood, How she move and Step up. These films are similar to our opening sequence because it either has the same genre or a similar narrative. In the opening sequence we se a young girl who is getting ready for school, just like any other young girl will do. As the sequence continues, the audiences image of the character changes when we see her pull out a knife and cry... We made our opening sequence this way so that we could engage the audience in the short time we had. We did this by using typical conventions of this genre which made it easily recognisable as youth crime genre by the use of the hooded jumper, the knife and the backing music but there was a twist we decided to go against the typical codes and conventions of the genre by using a girl instead of a boy. . We as a group had to first analyse our treatment, to point out the main themes that were in the sequence. • Crime • Depression • Revenge • Murder • Youth Themes used: Crime: we can guess that crime will happen in the sequence because nikkie brings a out a knife and is crying Depression: the facial expressions of the protagonists and the body language Throughout the opening sequence suggests that she is depressed and lonely. Murder: later on in the film the girl kills herself and another person. This could relate to kidult hood when the girl kills herself because she gets bullied at school also links to the theme of depression. Revenge: nikkie seeks revenge for the people who bully her at school
- 2. Our film used the codes and conventions of an opening sequence in our sequence ‘fragmental’ by: Introducing the main character by using a wide range of camera shots. We didn’t want to give away our main characters identity as it would ruin the tension so we only showed parts of her face, from behind, and the side... Tension is built up similarly in the opening sequence of kill bill. Indicating the themes Including titles throughout the opening sequence like in the American TV program Heroes, which often has its titles appearing until way into their episodes. By creating out own theme tune for the music: a gangster rap type of soundtrack. We made the theme song by having it at a up beat speed giving the audience the idea that something will happen in the film and also gives the audience the idea of the genre… if we didn’t add this type of music the idea genre of the sequence will not be noticeable to the audience because you see a girl getting ready for school it just wouldn’t make any sense. Although our opening sequence is unique according to our overall treatment and look of the film, there were other movies and opening sequences that presented the youth crime genre as well,( kidult hood: gun crime knife crime, depressed students and broken homes, this relates to our opening sequence.) of which we developed there ideas and conventions onto our opening sequence. The protagonist is not entirely introduced in the opening sequence, we only used Close ups, side shots and point of view shots to establish nikkie (screen shot). These shots were similar to the program misfits how? In some episodes when the character is about to do something bad or is a villain we are not shows the full profile of the character this builds up tension in the audience leaving the audience questioned of what is going to happen next?, or who is the character and why is he or she doing that? This helps make the episode more effective and interesting to watch (leaving the audience at the edge of their seats.
