Their new soap opera aims to be both socially realistic and light entertainment, similar to Hollyoaks. It focuses on issues like abuse and drug use that teenagers can relate to. The setting of a university also allows their target audience of 16-34 year olds to easily relate.

While including standard soap opera character types, they also challenge conventions to avoid simply copying other shows.

Evaluation Q4
This document discusses the target audience for a film and how to attract that audience. The target audience is identified as 16-20 year old males in the UK. To attract this audience, the film portrays the lives of working class teens in a realistic, modern setting through characters dressed in stereotypical urban clothing.

Question 1 & 2 evaluation new
This document discusses the representation of social groups in a media production and how stereotypes were both challenged and reinforced. It aimed to subvert stereotypes of women as weak by making the protagonist a strong, independent female. However, it unintentionally relied on negative stereotypes by portraying the antagonists as black males due to time pressures. In the future, the creator would choose antagonists from groups less prone to stereotyping to better achieve the goal of challenging stereotypes. They also realized they over-relied on showing the female protagonist as worried about her boyfriend.
Initial idea's and Research
Our social realism trailer will focus on a group of teenagers between 15-30 years old who attend a party that ends in tragedy. It will show the stereotypical portrayal of this age group through their costumes, location in real neighborhoods, and use of non-professional local actors. The story follows the characters until one is hit and killed by a drunk driver, sentencing their friend to prison and leaving their girlfriends to live without them. It aims to represent serious contemporary issues like alcohol, drugs, and accidents in an authentic way through semi-improvised dialogue and gritty visual style.

London's burning pitch
Saeed, a young innocent man, is interrogated by Detective Jones under suspicion of involvement in terrorist activities due to his association with Ahmed Khalif. During the intense interrogation, Detective Jones makes disparaging remarks about Saeed's character. The interrogation ends abruptly when Detective Jones gives Saeed an ultimatum to work for intelligence or go to an unknown jail. The film aims to portray the viewpoints of teenagers and young adults who may have felt unjustly targeted by police due to their age, culture, or race. It will feature young actors and an "urban" costume for the character Ahmed to appear youthful and relate to younger audiences while contradicting the appearance of older characters like Detective Jones.
Social groups
The document discusses how the media product "Tres Ante Meridiem" represents several social groups:
- Young adults, as the protagonist is 18 years old and engages in typical young adult activities like wearing makeup and attending parties.
- The middle/working class, through the casual clothes worn by the main character and the location in a common town rather than a wealthy city.
- The white ethnicity, as the characters used are white since the filmmakers share that ethnicity and a majority of the British audience would relate to white characters.
- Gender, as discussed in Laura Mulvey's "Male Gaze" theory, with the female main character potentially being an object of desire portrayed from a

An age rating of 15 is therefore appropriate.

The Great Gatsby - Chapters 8 and 9
This document provides guidance for analyzing and summarizing chapters 8 and 9 of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby. It instructs the reader to write a one sentence summary for each chapter, choose a quotation that represents the chapter, and discuss how Fitzgerald uses techniques like time/sequence, characters, point of view, voices, scenes/places, and destination in telling the story.
The Great Gatsby - Chapters 2 and 3
Fitzgerald uses lyrical language and symbolism to describe the desolate Valley of Ashes between West Egg and New York City. Nick provides insight into the unhappy marriages of Tom and Daisy Buchanan, George and Myrtle Wilson, and Mr. and Mrs. McKee. Chapter 3 shifts to a grand party at Gatsby's mansion where Nick learns of Gatsby's connection to Daisy from Jordan in a brief conversation.
What is Comedy?
The document provides background information on William Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. It discusses when the play was believed to have been written, theories about why it was written, and notes that it would have been performed at The Theatre and The Globe. It also summarizes that although set in Athens, the play could almost be set in a British pastoral environment. The document then discusses Shakespeare's use of rhyming verse, blank verse, and prose in the play, and analyzes some of the comic elements of the complex plot involving lovers, fairies, and working-class characters in the wood.
The Great Gatsby - Chapter 1
Fitzgerald uses Chapter 1 of The Great Gatsby to introduce the narrator, Nick Carraway, and establish the setting and time period of the summer of 1922 in New York. Nick frames the story as a retrospective told from 1-2 years after the events occurred, indicating that the fate of the characters is already determined. The chapter contrasts the Midwestern values of Nick's family with the superficial glamour and hidden corruption of the wealthy East Egg and West Egg neighborhoods, foreshadowing moral judgments of the characters. Fitzgerald employs geographical divisions to link locations with differing moral qualities and social criticisms.

3) The plot involves magic and mistaken identities in the forest outside Athens, revolving around the intertwined romantic relationships between four young Athenian lovers and the fairy king and queen of the forest.
The fool
Bottom is established as a clown through his foolishness and lack of self-awareness, as shown by his desire to play all the roles in the play within a play despite his lack of acting ability. His transformation into an ass further emphasizes his clownish nature by making his foolishness literal. As a clown, Bottom brings comedy to the play through his absurd antics and situations.
The course of love... MSND
The document discusses how Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream explores the idea introduced in the first scene - that "the course of true love never did run smooth." It does this by examining how the magic juice affects the four young lovers, causing their love to change rapidly. Their love seems based only on the feelings of the lover under the spell's influence, not on any merits of the beloved. It also looks at the odd romance between Titania and Bottom after she is enchanted. Throughout, Shakespeare highlights the irrational and changeable nature of love, which provides comic situations but also shows love's darker side.

Evaluation question 1
This document discusses how the creator of a film trailer media product analyzed existing thriller film trailers like Limitless, Insidious, and Wanted to identify common forms and conventions they could utilize in their own trailer. Some conventions they adopted included using a voiceover at the beginning to engage the audience, including fades between scenes, and using foley sounds to transition between clips. However, they also sought to challenge conventions by excluding background music and actor names, and including an extreme close-up shot. The analysis informed both what forms and conventions the creator implemented and challenged in their own thriller trailer media product.

Analysis of ‘the uninvited’
This poster for the film "The Uninvited" uses visual techniques to convey the horror/thriller genre. Layered images like a girl behind fogged glass create a spooky feeling. The setting of an ominous house surrounded by woods is a common trope in horror films. Low-key lighting and the inability to see the girl's face further establishes the thriller tone. The childlike typography of the tagline "Fear moves in" written on a steamy window also aligns with genre conventions. Together these visual elements clearly communicate the narrative and genre for the target audience.

Male costume research
This costume research document discusses suitable outfits for male characters in a film opening that will be filmed around an estate and targeted at 16-19 year olds. A suit was deemed unsuitable as the scene involves running. More casual clothes stereotypical of what young male teenagers wear, like jeans and t-shirts, would be suitable as the actors would find it easy to run in those outfits.
Costume research
The document discusses costume options for portraying female teenagers in a British social realism film. It eliminates a middle-class woman's style as not suitable for the 17-19 year old characters. Tracksuits are identified as fitting the genre because they stereotypically represent teenagers, council housing, and cheap clothing. The group chooses to follow these stereotypes to effectively set the scene of the film's opening, likely having the female character wear tracksuits while running.
