The opening attracts the audience through changes in lighting, color, and brightness that make the viewer feel something is wrong when the teacher leaves the classroom. Short cuts back to the teacher speaking immerse the viewer in the story. The teacher also completely changes from fun to emotionless, making the viewer question his identity and drawing them in further. The plot leaves on a cliffhanger about the teacher keeping a child somewhere, enticing viewers to learn the fate of the child and consequences of the teacher's crimes.

The document analyzes the poster for the film "The Woman in Black" through three paragraphs. It first describes the dark and eerie tone set by the poster's use of black, grey, white, and red colors. Second, it examines how the shadowy figure of the woman raises suspicions and intimidates the child in the background setting. Finally, it notes the film is rated 15 and would appeal to fans of horror and mystery genres, especially those already familiar with the original "Woman in Black" film.
The poster features a pale, expressionless character staring directly at the camera, covering most of the poster and hinting that she is important. Low lighting in the background contrasts with her brightly lit face, conveying a sense of mystery and evil that she may be combating. The red title and the character's red eyes symbolize blood, death, and danger, suggesting she is linked to the violence in the film. Very little context is shown besides the character, intriguing audiences in line with the thriller genre.

The media product used a mirror reflection to symbolize the teenage female's soul and vulnerability. Low lighting was used to convey she was home alone. Footage was taken from inside her bedroom wardrobe to give audiences a sense of fear for her safety in her own home.
Embraer Executive Vice-President Luis Carlos Affonso presented at the 2007 Paris Air Show analysts and investors meeting. The presentation discussed forward-looking statements and analyzed market trends, including main demand drivers for executive jets like stock market performance and macroeconomic factors.

Evaluation Task 5; How did you attract/address your audience?hurtwoodhousemedia5
The document discusses how the filmmakers attracted and addressed their audience in an opening film sequence about a girl experiencing isolation. They used wide shots with empty space around the girl to emphasize her loneliness and the absence of people who should be there. Everyday events like alarms and burning toast were used to make the sequence relatable. Unsettling everyday sounds were employed to build tension but still engage the audience. Both teenage and parental audiences could relate due to the teenage main character and themes of potential danger and a missing baby.

2) Beau engaged the audience with a demonstration of perception and introduced Amy, explaining her accomplishments as a young scientist.
3) The reviewer rated Beau's dynamism as a 5 and Amy's as a 4, and felt they were both great speakers who kept the audience's attention through informative and interesting content.
AJ Jacobs opens his TED talk about how he almost died trying to be healthy by using humor to grab the audience's attention and make them laugh. He maintains their attention by being personable and relatable through self-deprecating jokes. He follows the TED commandments by showing his authentic self. On a scale of dynamism, he ranks a 2.5 out of 5 for having a dry personality, though he was entertaining at times. The speaker connects with the audience by keeping them engaged and exposing aspects of himself while still coming across as believable. He recommends being yourself, being real, not being afraid to have fun, and presenting information in a way that people can relate to.
Rachel Baran, Olivia Bee, and Joey L. are photographers who each have distinct styles and approaches. Rachel Baran creates conceptual fine art photography that portrays dark themes inspired by her experiences. She aims to manipulate viewers' minds. Olivia Bee focuses on documentary photography that captures moments from her youth, using vibrant colors to create a dreamy style. Joey L. shoots both commercial and personal travel photography, taking time to understand subjects and reveal aspects of their lives through earth tone color schemes. While their styles differ, each photographer aims to tell meaningful stories through their photos.
The document discusses the representation of paedophiles and families with children in a media product's opening title sequence. It notes that the paedophile character is portrayed negatively through sexually suggestive actions and secrecy. However, he is also shown as an "average joe" through his professional dress and hidden identity. The sequence aims to represent families by showing the relatable relationship between a young girl and her family, targeting parents with young children as a social group concerned with child safety. It also archetypically portrays the young girl through typical features that represent a vulnerable social group exploring sexuality and under threat.
The poster uses dull colors like black and grey to create an ominous and unsettling atmosphere. Symbols like an isolated house and a faded child's face in the background are intentionally cryptic. The central female figure appears insecure and is meant to draw the audience's attention. Quotes from critics and mentions of starring actors are intended to increase interest in the film. The tagline "All the children are gone, except one" leaves viewers with unanswered questions in a way that makes them want to learn more by seeing the film.

2. JULIE BURSTEIN
is a radio host and writer who
has interviewed creative minds
for a living. When Julie is not
writing or making radio, or
spending time with her family,
she can usually be found in the
pottery studio.
3. JULIE BEGAN
her presentation with a
description of a piece of
pottery that she created, using
a technique called Raku, which
she keeps on her desk. Pottery
making is then expanded into a
metaphor for creativity itself.
4. RAKU
is a special kind of
pottery making that
requires the artist to let
go of their creation and
leave it to natural process
of quickly baking and
cooling, which transforms
it into something new.
5. Expanding on the metaphor,
Julie delivers the first of her
four lessons in creativity:
Letting Go.
The metaphor is easily
understood and
immediately opens the
audience to the remaining
three lessons.
6. THE FINAL LESSON
about embracing loss, is
introduced as the most
difficult lesson, and is
exemplified through the
captivating and even
beautiful photography of the
wreckage of the September,
11 attacks, something with
which the entire audience is
likely to be familiar.
7. MY DYNAMISM RATING
Julie was clearly passionate
about her subject, as well as
knowledgeable, but was not
overly animated.
8. MY DYNAMISM RATING
4/5
This was appropriate as much
of her discussion was about the
struggles of creativity and the
relieving experience of
embracing those struggles. She
maintained a positive tone and
outlook throughout even the
most dramatic moments of her
presentation.
9. WHAT I’VE LEARNED
Pausing between new topics
allowed her audience to take in
the information she's already
given. I learned that pausing
during a presentation is not
dangerous and may in fact be
necessary.
10. Julie dropped a pottery
creation of hers, a metaphor
for letting go, intending to
break it.
11. The cup did not break.
This didn't hinder her
presentation at all and,
somewhat ironically, served to
further demonstrate her first
lesson, as well as generating a
bit of laughter. I learned that
mistakes are made and don't
have to be damaging to the
presentation.
12. WHAT I’VE LEARNED
Her demeanor was consistently
calm, yet passionate,
throughout her presentation. I
learned that presenting in a
composed manner will help to
bring the audience to the
desired state of mind.
13. DIFFERENCES TO KEN
Ken Robinson was a little
more engaging.
There was no intentional
use of humor in Julie’s
presentation, which had a
calmer feel compared to
Ken’s.
14. SIMILARITIES TO KEN
Both Ken and Julie were
passionate and
knowledgeable about their
subject, brought up stories
to support their ideas, and
maintained a positive
outlook.
15. WHAT YOU CAN LEARN
Julie remained composed
throughout the presentation,
even through mistakes.
She balance out new
information with familiar topics
to support her presentation
without overwhelming
