BBFC Classification
The British Board of Film Classification assigns age ratings to films based on their content such as violence, sex, language, and mature themes. The author believes their film will receive a 15 rating due to scenes of violence throughout, but notes it will not be overly gory. An opening scene where a man is shot will cut away from the actual violence. There will be no sexual content or discrimination that could impact the rating. Some mild language will need to be controlled to avoid affecting the target audience.
Question four
This document discusses the target audience for a media product. The target audience is identified as white males aged 35 and over from a working class background. This demographic typically enjoys action films and seeks escapism. Research shows this group is most likely to watch an action film. The film will receive an 18 rating from the BBFC due to violence, language, and mild sex/nudity. It will be shown in multiplex cinemas to reach a mainstream audience, as the action genre and target demographic would be best served in large venues rather than independent cinemas.

2) Careful casting was done to find a believable father-daughter duo to portray the main characters. Authenticity of their relationship was prioritized over attractiveness.
3) The plot starts at the end and flashes back chronologically to build mystery and intrigue for the audience. Aspects of Barthes' narrative codes were incorporated including action, enigma, and symbolism.

- Interviews with the target audience confirmed that people wanted to see suspense and mind games in the film. The film will be rated 15 by the BBFC due to its horror content and psychological themes.
Evaluation question 2
This document discusses how a media product represents various social groups through its characters. It analyzes the representation of social class, age, gender, and ethnicity in the opening of the media product. For social class, the characters both reinforce and challenge stereotypes of the upper and lower classes. For age, the younger character owning the mansion challenges stereotypes. For gender, only including male characters upholds stereotypes. For ethnicity, only including white characters reinforces stereotypes about white criminals being of higher status than non-white criminals. In conclusion, the representations both use and challenge stereotypes, but could improve representation of other groups going forward.

To effectively reach the target audience, the film would need to be advertised on social media and released in major cinemas to achieve mainstream success. An example target audience member profile supported that horror fans appreciate original plots, suspense, and jump scares but dislike gore and cliches.
Question 3
A film distributor is responsible for marketing and distributing a film. They help finance films and decide how and when films are released, such as in theaters or for home viewing. For a low-budget horror film, the ideal distributor would be Blumhouse Productions, as they specialize in horror and have had success releasing similar films in movie theaters. If partnering with a major distributor is not possible, the film could be independently distributed, but it would likely earn less money and reach a smaller audience. To maximize viewership and profits, the film should be distributed in theaters, through online streaming services, and video-on-demand to access different types of audiences.
Question 2
This document discusses how a media product represents various social groups through its characters. It analyzes how the film represents the social groups of age and gender. For age, it depicts the stereotypical caring mother searching for her missing child, while also challenging ideas of children being inferior by making the child the foremost character. For gender, it shows the stereotypical maternal mother but challenges ideas of women being inferior by depicting the adventurous female child unbothered by the horror setting. Overall, it finds the opening represents age and gender both positively and negatively through a mix of conforming to and breaking from stereotypes.
Question 6
This document discusses the technologies used during the three main stages of constructing a media product: planning and research, construction, and evaluation. During planning and research, websites like YouTube, IMDb, and Wikipedia were used to find information and ideas. For construction, the author learned how to use a camera, microphone, lighting, Movie Studio Platinum for editing, and Photoshop for titles. Overall, the author gained valuable experience using filming equipment and editing software to create a quality film opening.

Evaluation question 3
The document summarizes feedback received from target audiences on a music video project. Key points:
- Interviews with 3 target audience members provided insight into what they want from music videos, such as something different, narrative-based videos, and authentic characters.
- Feedback confirmed the video succeeded in being different through visual filters and a narrative-based approach without the artist. It showed meaning through props and used authentic 17-year-old actors without lyrics.
- Pitching the idea to classmates helped identify flaws and gain additional perspective, though the final video diverged from the original plan based on this feedback.
- Feedback on draft digipak designs was incorporated, combining elements like the 3D effect and
Evaluation question 4
Jack Francis used various media technologies at different stages of his music video project. In the research and planning stage, he used his computer to conduct online research and draft documents using Word and PowerPoint. He also used his mobile phone to communicate with actors and find inspiration by viewing other music videos. During construction of the video, Jack used a Panasonic camera and tripod to film footage, downloading software to obtain the music file, and Movie Studio Platinum to edit the footage and add the music. He uploaded the final video to YouTube. For ancillary tasks like a digipak and advertisement, Jack used Photoshop to add text and edit images, an online filter website, and a printer. Finally, he uploaded all
Risk assessment
The document contains 3 risk assessments for filming scenes for a music video at different outdoor locations. Key hazards identified include water and quicksand near the beach, uneven surfaces and smoke bombs in the woods, and vehicles and crowds at an unspecified third location. Measures taken to prevent injuries include ensuring proper footwear, first aid kits, adequate clothing, and supervision of teenagers. Additional actions such as locating hazards beforehand, monitoring tide and crowd levels, and having phones and transportation available are also outlined. Responsibilities for addressing risks are assigned to the project manager Jade Paul.
Risk assessment jf
This document outlines potential hazards, injuries, severity levels, prevention measures, and emergency response plans for a film shoot. It identifies hazards from camera equipment, falling down stairs, getting hit by a car, low lighting, and alcohol in the eyes. Prevention measures include safety checks, practice, road safety reminders, lighting the environment, and emptying alcohol containers. The emergency response plan is to call an ambulance if anyone is injured from these hazards. Responsible parties are identified for any required actions.
Mise-en-scene
The document outlines the mise-en-scene elements for a music video including costume, lighting, actors, makeup, props, setting, and editing. Costumes will show the relationship is unstable through dark clothes for the female actor and concealed faces for the male actor. Lighting will use high key when the female is happy and low key when sad. The video will focus on older teenage actors to match the target audience. Minimal makeup on the female will show she is controlled by the male. Props like sparklers and lanterns will symbolize moving on from the past. Multiple settings like the beach and woods will avoid boredom. Editing will use smooth transitions and color correction to engage the audience.
Casting
This document provides casting considerations for a music video about a female protagonist who is unhappy in her relationship and is better off alone. It describes two main characters, Cleo and Finn, and proposes several actors for each role. For the role of Cleo, Kat is suggested due to her extensive acting experience from childhood productions. Megan is also proposed but is younger than the character. For the role of Finn, Callum is put forward given his experience acting in school productions playing various roles, though he is younger than the character. Sam is also proposed but has less overall acting experience than Callum.
Shooting schedule
This document provides a shooting schedule detailing the date, time, location, actors, and shot types for filming a project. It includes shots at V festival in Chelmsford on August 21st, close-ups of Kat and Callum at Callum's house on September 20th, establishing and tracking shots of Kat and Callum at Mablethorpe beach during sunset on September 24th, tilt and tracking shots of Kat and Callum in Blackpool on September 30th, and establishing and close-up shots of Kat at Willinghamwoods on October 1st.
Shooting schedule a2
The document provides a shooting schedule for a music video by the band The Vaccines. It details that filming will take place over one day, September 21st, beginning at dusk at a petrol station with scenes of Kirsty and Oliver, then moving indoors at night to film scenes inside a house of Kirsty and Callum using a camera and tripod along with alcohol as props. Filming will conclude the following early morning with exterior street scenes of Kirsty and Oliver filmed with a camera and tripod.
Shot list music video
The shot list documents scenes for a music video involving characters Kirsty, Oli, Ellie, and Callum. It includes 35 shots at a petrol station of Kirsty and Oli awkwardly sitting together and Kirsty walking away from Oli. It then details 15 shots of Kirsty walking along a pathway from different angles. Additional shots include Kirsty drinking alcohol at a house, being sick, and a sexual encounter with Callum. The list concludes with shots of Ellie walking along the same pathway from different angles and Kirsty and Oli hugging at the petrol station.
Evaluation Question 3
From audience feedback on their music video concept, the document summarizes that they learned to:
1) Keep makeup and costumes natural to make characters more relatable to indie genre conventions.
2) Favor a mixed narrative over including diegetic sound which could be distracting.
3) Film entirely outside to create atmosphere and meet indie genre conventions rather than including indoor scenes.
Evaluation question 6
The document discusses technologies used during each phase of constructing a media product. In planning and research, the author learned to use Blogger and Prezi effectively but had difficulties with Slideshare. During construction, the author gained skills using a camera, microphone, LED light, and movie editing software. In evaluation, the author became familiar with Emaze but was already proficient in presentation software like PowerPoint. Overall, the author felt their media skills improved the most during the construction phase of the large project.
Question 3
Warner Bros would be an effective major distributor for the film Imperium. As one of the big six film studios, Warner Bros has the resources and experience needed to distribute a mainstream crime/drama film widely. With over 8000 employees and $13 billion in revenue in 2015, Warner Bros can handle large production and promotion campaigns. They successfully promoted Goodfellas, which made a $21 million profit. To reach the target audience of males and females aged 35+ for Imperium, the distributor must carefully select promotion platforms and design advertisements appropriately. Television, online social media, and fan pages would be effective low-cost promotion methods.
Risk assessment

Those participating are responsible for their own safety.
Shooting schedule
This document contains a shooting schedule for a film being shot over one day. It lists 15 scenes, all taking place on October 12, 2016. The locations are either exterior shots on a road near a village or interior shots in a barn. The main characters involved are Wilson, Makenzie, and Detective McCoy. Scenes include shots of Wilson walking and smoking, entering the barn, dialogue exchanges between the characters, and a close-up of a gun.
Shooting schedule
The document contains a shooting schedule for a film with 12 scenes planned for the first day of shooting. The first 6 scenes take place outside on a road and show Wilson walking into and around a village, including shots of his torso and him throwing down a cigarette. Scenes 7-11 take place inside a barn and include introductions of the characters Wilson, Makenzie, and Detective McCoy. These scenes involve dialogue exchanges between the characters shot over shoulders and in close-ups. Props include a desk, chairs, and cigarettes.
Student video analysis
The document provides instructions for a student video analysis assignment. Students are asked to analyze 2-3 past student film openings, considering elements like camera work, editing, pacing, setting, sound, acting, and titles. At least one film must be from the student's genre. Two sample student films are then analyzed in detail based on these elements:
1) A thriller film opening showing two students captured in an abandoned building trying to escape their captor.
2) A black-and-white noir film opening featuring a detective investigating a serial killer case.
Title sequence analysis
This document analyzes the title sequences of three films: The Shining, Se7en, and Reservoir Dogs. It finds that all three films include the studio logo, director, film title, and key or other cast members in their opening credits. The order that most commonly appears is studio logo first, followed by the film title, director, producer, key cast, and other cast. Based on this analysis, the author concludes that their own title sequence should include at least the studio logo, director, film title, and cast members, with that standard order.
Shooting schedule
The document contains a shooting schedule for a film titled "Imperium" with 10 shots planned over 1 day. The locations include a road outside a village, a barn interior. Characters include Wilson, Makenzie and Detective McCoy. Scenes include Wilson walking on the road and throwing down a cigarette, then entering the barn where a freeze frame will capture his face and a master shot of the whole barn setting. Dialogue shots between the characters are also scheduled inside the barn.
Student film opening analysis
This document provides an analysis and review of two student film openings titled "Carnage" and "Counterpart". For Carnage, the reviewer provides positive feedback on the camera work, editing, sound design, costumes, lighting, and setting in building tension and suspense. The only criticism is that it felt more like a trailer than an opening. For Counterpart, the reviewer critiques the shaky camera work, distracting background elements, uneven editing, and stiff acting, though notes some successful elements like the shadowy masked characters and fitting title/music. Overall, Carnage received higher marks for its effective techniques in setting an ominous tone through its technical elements.
Mise en scene
The document discusses the importance of mise-en-scene elements for establishing believability in a 1960s-set film opening scene involving the interrogation of a detective by gangsters. Costumes of the time period, natural lighting outside transitioning to low-key lighting inside, realistic makeup depicting injuries, and props like plain chairs, period-appropriate guns and cigarettes will be used. The rural setting provides isolation for the interrogation without witnesses.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
