Technology
The film differed from the original storyboard due to additional shots needed from the location and timing. Equipment limitations like a small room size required closer shots. The corkboard props looked artificial and lighting inconsistencies caused by different shots in the bedroom. Some shots dragged on too long so were cut. Special effects like fading and slow motion were added to transitions to improve the flow. Steadying shots while panning and difficulties credit formatting in Premiere presented challenges overcome through multiple takes and font size adjustments.
Evaluation question 7
The document compares and contrasts the narratives, timing, camera work, editing, planning, and sound design of the filmmaker's two films - a preliminary film and a post-apocalyptic film. The preliminary film follows a man chased by attackers, while the post-apocalyptic film depicts two survivors fighting to stay alive in a desolate world. The post-apocalyptic film took longer to produce due to having fewer crew members. Both films use close-ups and over-the-shoulder shots but the editing and music were tailored more to each film's genre. Storyboards were used to plan the visuals and pacing of both films.

The opening sequence involved point-of-view shots from bushes and a kidnapping. It featured computer hacking scenes and integrated special effects to engage audiences. Marcus researched films like The Matrix, Taken, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for influences on genres, shots, and dark undertones.
Deadpool Analysis
The opening sequence of the film Deadpool establishes the narrative through its title card and music. It begins with a black screen that fades to the Marvel logo, shown slowly decreasing in size. The music is jazz, setting a calm tone. Various camera shots are used to showcase the mise-en-scene, including extreme close-ups, mid shots, and wide shots. Characters have scared facial expressions that match the action theme. Props like lighters, glass, and a burning car create a dangerous ambience and foreshadow future events. The lighting on objects and characters looks natural, aided by the CGI creation of the sequence.
Media a2 evaluation

The package aims to effectively promote the new film and generate interest using standard conventions for horror film marketing materials.
Paranormal activity 2
The document analyzes the teaser trailer for the film Paranormal Activity 2. It notes that the trailer is only 1:13 minutes long, does not reveal any plot details or release date, and does not include actor or director names, following standard conventions for teaser trailers. The trailer uses darkness, flickering lights, footsteps, silence and a figure suddenly appearing to build tension and anticipation without giving away the story. The plain text and handheld camera style fit with creating an authentic found footage horror style.
Scream film trailer analysis
The document analyzes the trailer for the film Scream and discusses various techniques used that make it an effective trailer. It notes that the mask is a key identifying visual element that draws viewers in. Through the use of editing techniques like quick fading, tension is built and viewers are left wanting to see more. Text that flies onto the screen adds suspense and interactivity. Various shots like a close-up of a woman's phone, an over-the-shoulder shot, and a man's face in low light are discussed and how they create mystery or suspicion. Sound techniques like voiceover, ambient sounds, and diegetic speech are highlighted as persuasive elements that provide appeal and set the scene to draw the viewer into the
Single camera production techniques
Single camera productions differ from multi-camera productions in their use of cameras, lighting, sound, editing, and genres. With single camera, the director has more control over camera movement to set the mood and get viewers more involved in the scene. Lighting can also be used to create different tones. Sound editing is more complex as it needs to blend shots seamlessly. Editing takes longer without multiple angles to choose from. Common single camera genres include period dramas, crime dramas, horror, and comedy, as they benefit from the sense of realism and ability to set mood that single camera allows.
Brick Trailer Analysis
Brick focuses on a high school neo-noir mystery. The trailer utilizes distinctive camera techniques like low angle shots and silhouettes to introduce characters and build intrigue. Stylistic editing includes smoke transitions between plot points summarized in narration. A tense musical score escalates during more suspenseful clips. Mise-en-scene reflects neo-noir conventions through isolated and dimly lit settings like empty streets lit only by streetlights, creating contrast between characters and their environments.
Evaluation question 7
The document discusses two films created by the author - a preliminary film and a post-apocalyptic film. While the narratives differ, both use similar planning and production techniques. The preliminary film follows a man chased during a job interview, while the post-apocalyptic film depicts a world where only a few humans survive and two characters fight for their lives. Both films utilized storyboards, and the author's skills in editing, camerawork, and choosing appropriate music improved between the two productions.

Media representation theory
Media Representation Theory discusses how media constructs representations of reality through various processes. Some key aspects of representation theory are:
1) Representation involves the construction of people, places, events and identities in any medium like mass media.
2) Representations involve how identities are constructed in the text as well as in the processes of production and reception.
3) Representations aim to seem 'natural' by positioning subjects in particular ways that serve ideologies.
Analyzing representations involves considering whose realities are represented and whose are denied through semiotics and other formal analysis methods.

My magazine and evaluation
The author drafted their magazine cover multiple times, changing the title from "Showdown" to "Pulse" to better fit their R&B theme. They settled on a design with a red title and black outline over a gradient background. Headers and celebrity photos were added to make the cover look more professional while following the "rule of three" for visual balance. The contents page was simpler but the author is unsure if it looks as polished as the cover.
Evaluation
The document discusses an evaluation of a media product, which is a music magazine. It summarizes how the magazine challenges conventions by making the cover star black and white and including a website at the bottom.

Textual Analysis Part one
This magazine features Madonna as the cover star and focuses on indie and rock music. It includes information on upcoming releases, albums, and updates on the lives of various artists and bands.

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.
