This document provides a breakdown of scenes and shots for the script "Upon Thames". It includes details of the cast, locations, descriptions of shots, technical equipment needed, costumes, props, and dates scenes will be filmed. The breakdown is split over 4 pages and covers scenes filmed at Sunbury Park, a pub, streets in Sunbury, and inside a character's house. Common themes in soap operas like conflict, mystery, and domestic settings are discussed in relation to appealing to different target audiences.
Film noirs conventionally take place in dark, gloomy urban settings like New York City, often during rain. Scenes use low lighting from blinds and dull colors and objects to create a realistic, pessimistic tone. The camera uses close-ups and low/high angles to make audiences feel uneasy. Narratives typically begin with the protagonist broken in the present, then use flashbacks to explain mysterious events that led there, like a femme fatale seducing and betraying a man. Sound and music reinforce the dark atmosphere while editing was basic due to the era.

Drama has evolved significantly since its origins in ancient Greece. Early dramas were historical plays that reenacted important events and were popular for years. These plays were written during ancient Greece's classical period and are still performed today, though they were originally only performed by male actors. More modern dramas have explored different themes, like the post-war films Judgment at Nuremberg and love triangles seen in the film "After Many Years," though the genre still focuses on relationships between people. Fight Club examined violence and boxing, while Slumdog Millionaire told the story of a boy in the slums trying to win over the girl of his dreams.

The document discusses Samuel Beckett's quote "Nothing is funnier than unhappiness" from his play Endgame. It explains that the quote defines the essence of Beckett's absurdist tragicomedy, which depicts a world without happiness or God where logic and communication break down. The quote satirizes this perspective, finding humor in revealing the grotesque nature of characters. The document then discusses how the quote relates to instances of mild unhappiness in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, which can be amusing, but not the more severe unhappiness that later destroys Romeo and Juliet.
The document summarizes how the opening of a horror film conveys the genre through establishing calm conditions that are disrupted by the introduction of a zombie. The characters make the poor decision to flee into the woods, creating suspense and anxiety for the audience. During the ensuing chase scene, tension builds as the zombie is portrayed as faster than the victims, resulting in a character's death. Main characters are introduced as a group of vulnerable female friends to set them up as victims. A transition is used between scenes to unsettle the audience and convey the passage of time since the terrifying events.

Post-production effects on the clock made it more appealing and eye-catching. Overall, the film creates a unique, creative story that develops over time and highlights key life moments from the perspective of a 90-year-old man to attract and involve the audience.
The video would have a dark, desaturated style to create a depressing mood. It would show the two artists standing alone on different dark roads, with the camera panning in for close-ups of their bloody faces as they sing. The camera would do 360 pans between the roads, revealing the artists arguing with the same woman or walking alone down the roads, with extreme close-ups emphasizing their frustration and singing of the lyrics. Ultimately, the roads would converge, with the woman at their intersection.
The video would have a dark, desaturated look to create a depressing mood. Scenes would include long shots of the artists standing alone on dark roads, then close-ups of their bloody faces as they sing. The camera would track them as they walk and sing.

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) regulates films and videos in the UK. It is a non-governmental organization that provides age ratings to films such as U, PG, 12A, 15, and 18. The BBFC recognizes adult freedom of choice, protects the public (especially children) from harmful content, and helps parents make informed viewing choices for their children. The document then provides detailed descriptions of the content allowed or implied for each age rating.
The document discusses two methods for categorizing audiences: Young and Rubicam's Four Consumers model and socio-economic class. Young and Rubicam divides people into four categories based on personality - Mainstreamers, Aspirers, Succeeders, and Reformers. The socio-economic model classifies people into six classes based on income - A through E. Both are useful for media targeting, but the socio-economic model is limited as it only considers income and not other factors like leisure activities.

- Their socio-economic class system ranks people from A to E based on income and occupation.
- Life Matrix segments audiences based on lifestyle and values rather than demographic factors.
The student created a final drawing of a potion using Photoshop. They first hand drew the potion and then scanned it into Photoshop to color and add details digitally. It was difficult to control the pen at first but got easier with practice. The student used various colors like light blue, dark brown, and different shades of pink to create realistic effects like bubbles and shading. They used tools like the blur tool and size-adjustable brushes. In the end, the student felt they successfully created a realistic looking digital image meeting the goals of the project.

The document outlines questions from a focus group about a film trailer. It asks for opinions on whether the trailer was effective and enjoyable, what genre it represents, how it could be improved, and favorite parts. It explains that the filmmaker created a focus group of 12 friends and family to get feedback on the trailer by showing it and having them answer questions. Most feedback suggested making the trailer look less like a drama and more realistic.
Audience research is conducted to gather information about what audiences want to watch and their personalities. There are several methods for conducting audience research, including focus groups, questionnaires, box office takings, and test screenings. Focus groups involve interviewing a small group of people to discuss their opinions in an interactive setting, but the results may not represent the larger population. Questionnaires can be inexpensive and gather a lot of data quickly from many people, but responses may be biased by wording and response rates may be low. Box office takings refer to the financial success of a film based on the number of viewers and money made, which depends on the quality of the movie. Test screenings allow audiences to provide feedback on a movie before
