Production details like budgets and box office earnings are also listed for some films.
A highlights trailer contains the most exciting parts of a film without significant plot details in order to generate initial buzz, while a scene trailer provides more information about plot and characters. The document discusses different types of trailers and how they are used. It then explains that the group has chosen to create a highlights trailer for their film to build excitement through multiple scenes rather than focusing on one, without revealing major plot points.
The document proposes three music video ideas for songs:
1) "Six Billion" by Nothing But Thieves, about a psychopathic male character stalking a woman. Shots would imply loss but reveal his stalking.
2) "No Answers" by Amber Run, about a divorcing couple. Scenes would flip between their angry phone call and memories of their toxic relationship.
3) "Silk" by Wolf Alice, about a depressed woman who loves her friend, but finds out at a meeting the friend is engaged. Shots imply her daily sadness and reaction to the revelation.
The document outlines the narrative, characters, style, sound, and target audience for a short film about a young girl who is in an abusive relationship. The film will follow the girl through voiceover as she rehearses what to say to friends about her relationship, which the audience gradually realizes is unhealthy. Scenes will take place mostly in the girl's home to convey her personal space and innocence versus her partner's darker nature. Changing lighting and editing styles will mirror shifts between the dreamed relationship and reality of abuse. Background music will subtly foreshadow the abuse through lyrics. The target audience is teenagers who may relate to or help those in abusive situations.
How does your media product represent particular social groupsSophieDuncombe
The film opening establishes a romantic genre through a voiceover and music. It uses slow zooms and fades between photographs in a scrapbook to show memories of a young couple in love through various traditional scenes - on a bridge, playing in a park, kissing, and sharing a milkshake while laughing together in a restaurant in the 1960s. However, the voiceover then mentions that losing her partner wasn't her plan, introducing a negative element that subverts expectations of a typical romantic genre resolution.
How does your media product represent particular social groupsSophieDuncombe
The film opening establishes a romantic genre through a voiceover and music. It uses slow zooms and fades between photographs in a scrapbook to show traditional representations of a young couple in love through different memories - including the couple on a bridge with water sounds, play fighting in a park laughing, kissing brightly lit, and sharing a milkshake in a 1960s restaurant. The voiceover then takes a modern, negative turn by saying losing her partner wasn't her plan, changing the audience's expectations for the romantic genre.
The document provides a textual analysis of two romantic comedy movie trailers: "What Happened in Vegas" and "Friends with Benefits". For "What Happened in Vegas", the analysis examines the use of logos, intertitles, sound, dialogue, themes, characters, locations, and editing pace. For "Friends with Benefits", the analysis looks at logos, intertitles, sound, dialogue, themes, characters, and narrative techniques. The document studies conventions in the two trailers to inform the creation of the author's own romantic comedy trailer.
The opening sequence begins with the production company logo against a dark backdrop with tense music playing, hinting this will be a thriller rather than a typical film from this company. It then shows smoke-covered titles and close-ups of mysterious newspaper articles and characters, keeping the plot a mystery but suggesting it involves crime. This introduction draws the audience in to learn more about the characters and storyline without giving too much away.
This document analyzes the trailers for the romantic comedies "What Happened in Vegas" and "Friends with Benefits". It summarizes the key elements of each trailer, including the use of logos, intertitles, sound, dialogue, voiceovers, themes, narrative techniques, characters, costumes, and locations. The document finds that while the trailers share some conventions of the romantic comedy genre, they differ in their specific approaches to elements like voiceovers, music usage, and pacing of editing.
The document provides a lyric analysis of Michael Jackson's "ABC" and describes ideas for a music video based on the lyrics. It analyzes phrases from the song and derives inspiration and concepts for different scenes. Some ideas include portraying the relationship through shared hobbies, using children to represent the stage where the couple has a family, fast cuts showing the couple's activities to represent their strong bond, and miming or lip syncing parts of the lyrics. The overall goal is to illustrate how building a relationship through shared interests can make love easy, as the song suggests.
This music video proposal is for the song "I Should've Cheated" by Keyshia Cole. It will tell the story of a woman who catches her husband cheating. The video will be 4 minutes and 18 seconds, in the R&B genre. It will show the woman finding her husband with another woman and confronting them both. Later scenes will focus on her emotions around the betrayal and her husband pleading for forgiveness. Inspiration is drawn from the music videos of "Trust and Believe" by Keyshia Cole and "Be Without You" by Mary J. Blige, which both tell similar stories of a partner's infidelity.
The song lyrics describe a connection between two people that feels like gravity pulling them together. The music video storyboard shows scenes alternating between a girl and band performing, with the girl engaged in symbolic acts representing the lyrics like running through woods, having powder and berries thrown on her, and smashing video tapes at the end. The video aims to follow conventions of rock music videos through fast cuts between scenes, dark imagery, and brief flashes of the band playing glow-in-the-dark instruments.
The music video will tell the story of a broken up couple through flashbacks. During the verses, the video will show happy, colorful flashbacks of the relationship through bright colors and close ups. In the chorus, the video will split the screen to show the sad girl and boy apart from each other with dull colors. The video aims to portray how even after a break up, exes still think about each other through looking at old photos and messages. It will leave out how the couple actually broke up. The target audience is 16-25 year olds, and aims to be relatable by showing the universal experience of heartbreak.
The opening sequence of Dirty Harry establishes the film's setting of San Francisco and theme of honoring police officers who died in the line of duty. It shows a stone plaque with the names of fallen officers carved into it. The camera zooms in and uses a wiping technique to gradually reveal the full list of names and dates. This establishes the context of danger and sacrifice within the police force before the film's story begins.
The opening sequence of Taken establishes mystery and danger through a black background and white text. It then cuts to a home video showing a happy birthday celebration, highlighting the vulnerability of the girl through a shot of her blowing out candles. It jumps to the protagonist waking up abruptly, looking confused and tired in close-up before the camera zooms out to show he is alone. Dirty Harry begins with a plaque listing police officers who died in the line of duty, using a zoom and wipe to gradually reveal the names and dates, establishing the context of sacrificing cops. The Godfather opens with a slow-paced, quiet scene of a man asking the titular character for help, using lighting, blocking and gestures to introduce him
This document provides a grading grid for assessing student work on three criteria:
1) Explanation, analysis, and argument - It outlines four levels of achievement from basic to excellent in discussing concepts and relating creative outcomes to media theory.
2) Use of examples - It describes expectations for the range and relevance of examples from the student's own production used to illustrate theoretical ideas.
3) Use of terminology - It establishes standards for using conceptual language from minimal to excellent usage of relevant terms.
The document discusses several audience theories and how they apply to a media production project. The Hypodermic Needle Theory is deemed least useful because the target audience is active online and able to choose their own media. The Uses and Gratification Theory is considered most useful because the production can have different meanings and audiences would watch for different needs like entertainment and personal identity. Audience Reception Theory shows the key messages conveyed about genre, storyline and audience were understood due to conventions used, though there was some negotiated reading of a character's fate due to an enigma code.
This document discusses several theories related to narrative, genre, representation, audience, and media language that could be applied to analyzing movie trailers. It summarizes each theory and provides an example of how the theory could partly or fully apply to teaser trailers. Some of the main theories discussed include Barthes' narrative theory, Todorov's stages of narrative, Propp's character types, Neale's genre theory, Mulvey's male gaze, and Saussure's semiotics.
This document outlines a mark scheme for assessing responses to a question about media theory. It divides responses into four levels based on explanation/analysis/argument, use of examples, and use of terminology. Level 1 answers lack clarity or relevance and make minimal use of theory. Level 2 answers show basic understanding but limited relevance, examples, history, or future discussion. Level 3 answers are clearly relevant and develop a proficient argument using examples, history and the future. Level 4 answers offer a clear and fluent discussion integrating theory, examples, history and the future throughout the response.
Web 2.0 has had a huge impact by enabling user generated content, wisdom of crowds, vast data, participation architecture, network effects and openness. It has shifted culture and economy away from mainstream products towards niche markets in the "long tail". Examples include niche games online rather than console games, and niche films on sites like Kickstarter rather than mainstream films in stores. More people can now participate in and contribute to culture online through collaboration and sharing. Examples include music streaming sites like iTunes where people can publish, buy and comment on music.
Web 2.0 has led to an ever-increasing amount of data online from both professional producers and consumers. This data is highly valuable to many web applications but some fear we may drown in data. Web 2.0 also utilizes the "wisdom of crowds" where large groups of internet users can collaboratively create accurate information like on Wikipedia. Many web 2.0 sites also use open collaboration models like wikis and blogs that allow open participation. As more people use networks, their value increases through network effects and users are more likely to find useful information due to power laws and the long tail effect.
The document provides a brief history of the development of the Internet from its origins in the 1960s with ARPANET to modern technologies and websites. It traces major developments like the creation of email in 1971, the world wide web in 1991, popularization of web browsing in the 1990s, and the rise of social media sites from the 2000s like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. The document also includes definitions of Web 2.0 that emphasize user interactivity, collaboration, and sharing of user-generated content online.
The document summarizes the creation and evaluation of promotional materials for a teen drama film, including a teaser trailer, poster, and magazine cover. The key elements that linked the materials together included consistent fonts, color schemes, characters, and slogans. Audience feedback indicated the poster was most effective at promoting the film due to its bold design and appeal to the target genre, while the magazine cover was less successful and could be improved by incorporating consistent colors and links to drive online engagement. Overall, the typography and color schemes best conveyed the connection between the promotional pieces, according to feedback.
These images are suitable for magazine covers and thumbnails based on their lighting and composition. The first three images taken in natural lighting would work well as main covers, while the fourth noir-style image could be used as a thumbnail. The costumes, props, and expressions capture the tone of the portrayed film well.
The document describes the steps taken to design a magazine cover in Adobe InDesign. These steps include:
1) Creating a silver border and pale blue background rectangle.
2) Inserting a masthead created using Dafont and placing it on the background.
3) Adding a barcode and information box created from an online generator.
4) Adding a tagline above the masthead using alternating colors.
5) Using a bucket list image to create a gradient effect on the masthead.
6) Adjusting and placing the main text block.
This document defines key terms used in magazine design and layout. The masthead contains the magazine title and is the most eye-catching element. Cover lines draw audience attention and inform them of magazine contents. The main cover line anchors the meaning of the main image, usually featuring the lead article. Additional design elements include thumbnail images to generate interest, buzzwords to attract attention, and information bars with issue details. Header and footer bars highlight magazine content.
This shot was taken for camera set-up and evaluation purposes. The lighting in the shot was deemed to be bad, and the content cannot be seen clearly. The lighting of the scene will need to be reconsidered for the actual production.
This shot shows characters on a sofa near a computer by a window and is an interesting angle, but the camera may need adjusting to be properly framed. Pairing this shot with another could make the activity clearer, and a similar shot will likely be used in the production.
This scene shows characters running towards the camera near a lake and provides some context for their actions, but it may need to be paired with another shot of them jumping in the lake to make their purpose clear. The shot is also a bit long so it would need to be shortened if used. Overall, it is likely this shot will be used in the production.
This shot shows characters completing an activity by a lake but the zoom is not successful and the clip is too long for a teaser trailer where clips should be short. While the shot will likely be used in the production, the distance will need adjustment and the zoom will need more care.
This shot is suitable for their video blog because it shows both the person participating in the activity of skateboarding and the other person filming, clearly establishing that they are making a video blog. It also has good framing that captures both the skateboarder and the skateboard in the shot. They will likely use similar scenes in their own production.
This shot is suitable for the production as the camera angle shows another character recording the event. There is good framing and focus on the main character Bethany. The shot length is also suitable for a teaser trailer as it isn't too long. This shot will likely be used in the production.
This shot is suitable for the production as a close-up that fits with the video blog style of the trailer. The angle focuses on the character's emotions, important for the genre. The length is also good for a teaser trailer by not being too long. This shot will likely be used in the production.
This shot shows the character's bedroom and gives insights into their lives and relationship. While the shot is interesting and suitable, it may be shortened for a teaser trailer as long clips are not appropriate. Overall, this shot will likely be used in the production.
Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

5. The use of titles in the Love, Rosie teaser trailer is minimal and those
used are spread out.The use of minimal titles shows that the
camerawork and sound is more important and provides more
information than the titles do.The titles used however are relatable to
the target audience which would be teenagers (majority female) as
the phrase “Getting some is awkward” is used which could be
relatable to situations mostly linked with teens.The final 7 seconds of
the film is purely titles starting with the name of the film which then
changes to “#LoveRosie” which is relevant to teenage culture as it is
bringing in the use of social media along with the instructions to
“Share your awkward moment”.This title makes it clear that the film
will be all about the awkward moments of teen hood.The final title is
“Coming soon” which builds up anticipation as there is no clear release
date, therefore making the audience want to find out more about the
film and find out when the film will be released.
6. The editing in the teaser trailer is little to none as there
are no transitions in the actual clips, instead using
continuous clips from the film, only separating the
different scenes by using a title.The fact there are no
transitions in the clips suggests the movie is light hearted
as there is not cut offs.There were however transitions in
regards to the text in the titles with movements like slow
zoom, slide or fade.The different transitions on the text
gives a fun tone to the movie, showing that it is light-
hearted film that will most probably be comedic.
7. The camerawork in this particular teaser trailer is very basic
with a lot of close up and mid shots, clearly highlighting not
only the star cast of the film but also the two main characters
as both are the centre of the clips that are shown. Also the
fact that there are also two shots of the two show that they
are close friends which gives some idea to the audience of the
relationships shown in the movie.There also a few low
angled shots when the character Bethany is on screen which
is obviously the love interest of Alex, this could show that
having a crush is intimidating which will relate once again to
the target audience due to the nature of the situation.The
fact that these three characters are the only ones shown in
the trailer suggests that the story will revolve around them.
8. This teaser trailer relies solely on diegetic sounds
and backing music.The music used in the trailer
(Chocolate by 1975) is light hearted and upbeat
suggesting the film would most probably fun and
comedic rather than dramatic.The use of character
dialogue gives away information about the main
character’s of the film and their relationship with
each other and other characters mentioned.
However, at the same time, it doesn’t reveal
anything of the plot just the genre as some of the
phrases are comedic and can relate to the target
audience who understand the embarrassment of
some of the situations.
9. The Mise-en-scene of this particular teaser trailer is
very typical for a teenage drama as the setting is
stereotypical, showing a party and a school
respectively. Not only this but the messaging
software shown is suitable for the time the
particular part of the film was set in (2003) which
makes the film more realistic than if they had a
more updated version, similarly with the computers
shown in the school.
10. The lighting in this particular teaser trailer is natural
lighting in attempts to make the situation as realistic as
possible. As the lighting in each scene is suitable for the
settings which once again makes the whole film more
realistic as the lighting is what would be expected in
those locations.The use of natural lighting also gives
the film as a whole a more casual tone and makes it
more light hearted rather than suspenseful like low key
lighting would.
11. ALEX
Alex is first portrayed as a
teenage boy who can’t talk to
girls due to the fact that he
stutters around the girl “Bethany”
but we then see him talking to
the other protagonist Rosie
suggesting that the only reason
he was nervous was because he
likes Bethany. He is also
portrayed as quite shy which is
backed up by the fact when the
teacher calls him out, he blushes
slightly.
ROSIE
Rosie is first portrayed as Alex’s
best friend who likes to jokingly
make fun of him, suggesting
that their relationship is purely
platonic. However when Alex
tells her that he has lost his
virginity to Bethany, she swears
suggesting that she has other
feelings towards her best friend.

15. The use of the titles in the If I Stay teaser trailer is
very minimal with only two titles not including the
title of the film.The use of the first title “What was
the best day of your life?” is repeated at the end of
the trailer.The first time it is used is almost as if it is
asking the main character the question in a
rhetorical sense and as it is asked at the end it is
directing the question towards the viewer. Giving
the impression that the film is based off of the
memories of the main character. By using a
hashtag in the final title, appeals to the target
audience by making it relatable.
16. Although the editing in the teaser trailer for If I Stay is
very basic with just transitional fades, fade to blacks
and cut to black, it is cleverly done to relate to the plot
of the film without giving it away to those who haven’t
seen the film.The fades also highlight the transition
between memories and this paired with the narrative
makes it obvious the events that are being shown
happened in the past, giving away some of the footage
for the film but still keeping the plot a surprise for when
the audience actually see the film.
17. The use of minimal different camera angles makes
it clear who/what the teaser trailer is focusing on.
The use of mid-shots when the characters are on
screen, gives the audience a view of their facial
expressions around other characters.The use of the
two shots when the two main characters are on
screen suggests that narrative surrounds these two
people and their relationship.The use of the
extreme close-up when focusing on the
instruments also suggests the love of music is
another main theme in the film.
18. The backing music played throughout the entire
video is melodic but has a sad tone to it, suggesting
that despite the seemingly happy memories, there
is a sad side to the story that the teaser trailer
doesn’t show, making the audience want to find
out what it is, therefore creating anticipation.The
narration also hints at this as the main character is
talking in past tense “That was…”suggesting that
those happy memories are in the past and no
longer matter after what has happened recently.
This is a clever tactic to use to show the themes but
not the plot of the film.
19. The settings shown in the teaser trailer are
stereotypical to a teen drama, showing different
‘activities’ teenagers would do, such as school,
concerts, family meals and a party/bonfire.The use
of these locations/situations would appeal to the
target audience as they would relate to what is
going on, on screen.The use of musical instruments
is both conventional and unconventional as the use
of a guitar is typical to a teenage musician in that
background, where a cello would be slightly more
obscure, adding originality to the character.
20. The lighting in the teaser trailer for If I Stay is
mostly natural lighting which makes the whole
situation seem more realistic and therefore
possibly more relatable to the audience.They also
use high key lighting in the concert which is natural
for that situation.The idea of using lighting that
matches the setting of the scene gives the film a
more relaxed tone, rather than over the top by
using only high key lighting.
21. MIA
Mia is first shown as a solo
character who seems alone in the
world and is quite serious, which
is shown by the wide shots when
she is on screen as well as her
neutral facial expressions.This is
her outer presence but later on in
the trailer we see that she is a lot
more adventurous and carefree
than she lets on which is brought
out during her relationship with
Adam.
ADAM
The first shot we see of Adam
shows him performing on stage
at what seems to be a rock
concert, giving him the
representation of “Bad boy” that
can’t be tamed. However later in
the trailer we see him talking to
Mia softly which suggests he has
a softer side that not many other
people see which is shown by his
dialogue “I love watching you
play… and you’re beautiful”
