Pencil Productions pitch
Pencil Productions is planning a teen drama film based on audience research. The majority of respondents wanted a drama about a female main character set at a party with a murder mystery storyline involving hip hop/R&B music. The character should be rebellious and popular with mainly teen characters and no happy ending. Several ideas were proposed for the film synopsis including using a twist where the good guy is actually evil, cross-cutting editing techniques, dark special effects, impactful backing music during action scenes, and an overall mysterious twist. The final synopsis will incorporate cross-cutting, special effects/editing, impactful music/sound, and an unexpected twist.

Evaluation Question Two
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in a film called "Bullied". It identifies three main social groups portrayed: the mean girl, the popular group, and the outcast. The mean girl is shown through her use of drugs/alcohol and abusive behavior. The popular girl is depicted through her girly clothes and confident posture. The main character, who is the outcast, dresses unconventionally and acts shyly. Since the film is from the outcast's point of view, the mean girl and popular girl are portrayed negatively while the outcast is shown positively to relate to the audience.

Evaluation question 2
The document discusses representations of social groups in thrillers and the filmmaker's preferred meaning. It notes that different social groups like age, gender, ethnicity may interpret the same film differently. Filmmakers use techniques like camera angles, music, and costume to convey a preferred meaning but various groups may focus on different aspects. The document then discusses common character representations in thrillers, with men typically portrayed as heroes/villains and women as victims in need of help. However, some recent films break this mold. It ends discussing how the filmmaker's thriller subverts expectations by having adolescent girls in both victim and villain roles.
Question one
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.
CCR task 1 Copy.pptx
The document discusses the genre, conventions, social groups, and issues represented in the student's opening title sequence project called "In The Way". The sequence is set in the 1980s and is a romantic drama genre. It depicts a forbidden lesbian relationship and the negative influence of extreme Christianity. Scenes in the fort show the developing relationship between the two main characters, while exorcism scenes portray the attempt to "cure" one girl's sexuality. The sequence challenges radical religious views and represents the LGBTQ community and teenage girls in the 1980s.
Evaluation Question 2
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in the media product "Revenant". It represents age and class through the main character, who is a typical teenage girl dressed in modern clothing that would appeal to audiences aged 15 and older. Race is less directly addressed, as the single main character appears Asian but exhibits no overtly stereotypical racial traits or behaviors. Class is depicted through the middle-class surroundings of the character and her home. The piece examines whether and how these social categories challenge common stereotypes.
Evaluation Activity 1
The opening of the film "Beyond Closed Eyes" uses several conventions of teen drama films to introduce the characters and set up the story. It shows the protagonist Abby getting ready for school and introduces her friends and rivals through interactions at school. The characters fit typical stereotypes seen in teen films. The camera work, editing, titles, and other elements are modeled after examples from films like Juno and Mean Girls to capture the genre. The dream sequence hints at themes to come while intriguing the audience. Overall, it establishes the key players and teen drama genre in under 3 minutes using familiar conventions.
Conventions of a school based genre
School-based drama films typically feature a conflict between a new protagonist and a popular antagonist, often over romance. The protagonist usually discovers their identity by the end. These stereotypical characters and their arcs create an accessible narrative. Some films subvert expectations by having diverse, non-stereotypical characters whose experiences audiences can relate to, as seen in the hit TV show Glee. While appealing to audiences, maintaining recognizable tropes ensures commercial success for the genre.
Inconspicuous Evaluation Question 2
Young females are represented as feminine, popular, well-groomed, and active based on elements shown such as a pink hairband, photos with friends, close-ups of makeup, and clips of pom poms. They are also portrayed as friendly, stuck-up, and taking pride in their looks. Young males are represented as friendly based on a smiling male. People in the middle class are portrayed as financially stable and intelligent as indicated by being in an art gallery, which suggests maturity and responsibility.
Research Into Drama Genre- A2 Media Film
The document discusses genres and conventions for a short drama film. It will focus on the theme of peer pressure, targeting teenagers ages 13-18. A drama film conveys real-life situations and characters, showing their development and journey. It aims to move the audience emotionally and send a subtle message. While the film contains elements of other genres like action, it is primarily a drama that explores the struggles of a teenage girl battling her demons and failing to overcome peer pressure.

Representation
- 2. What is represented? • The main character in our teaser trailer is represented as a female, teenage student •From the beginning of the teaser a voiceover is used which enlightens the audience about her starting a new school •It is clear that our film is from Casey's perspective as she is narrating •Characteristics of Casey's character which can be interpreted by the audience is that she is ambitious, honest and emotional •A key part in the trailer where she is seen being particularly emotional is when she is seen crying on her bed n a mid-shot with her head in her hands
- 3. How is this representative of social groups? • The themes shown in our teaser which include bullying and fitting in as a teenager are very stereotypical of the teen drama genre •This means that our storyline is very relatable to young teens, especially our target audience •We display certain groups at school (the popular group) in more as a negative light as these are the girls that pick on and bully Casey •The bullying is shown in clips where Casey is seen to have food thrown at her and a shot-reverse-shot of her walking down a corridor and being tripped over
- 4. Who is responsible for the representation? •We wanted to represent bullying and trouble fitting in at school as something very relatable for teens and our target audience •We attempted to do this by including 'common' bullying traits •We also wanted to make it clear to our target audience that this was a teen drama genre, we did this by including specific colors and using stereotypes for our characters typical for teen dramas such as 'the nerd'
- 5. What does the audience make of it? •An audience most likely to take a preferred reading of our teaser trailer is someone who has experienced or seen firsthand this type of bullying themselves •It could also be someone invested into this genre who would enjoy watching any teen drama
