Writing about film
Writing About Film provides basic tips and rules for writing about films, including italicizing or underlining the film title and including the director's name and release date in parentheses for the first reference. Character names should be used rather than the actor's name, and actors can be mentioned in parentheses after. The writing should be in the present tense when referring to events in the film. Do not write in the first person or provide a full synopsis, but integrate relevant film terminology and theory. A four-step process is outlined for analyzing a film or clip that involves multiple viewings and connecting observations.

Question 1 medi a
The document discusses conventions of comedy films and how the author's media product used and challenged some of those conventions. Some of the main conventions discussed include using bright, populated locations filmed during the day, locations like schools and bars, natural camera work and medium shots, funny dialogue and edited sounds, socially awkward or idiotic characters, subgenres like romance, exaggerated acting and props for humor.

They included credits in a creative way and did not follow conventions for titles or rely on dialogue for humor. The film included twists and used speech bubbles and facial expressions for comedy.
Inspiration

These films provided inspiration for scenes in their production. The filmmakers also watched other student films on YouTube to study cinematography techniques and develop comedic ideas within their 5 minute runtime. Conducting this research helped the group understand the comedy genre and refine their film ideas.
Question 1 evaluation
The document discusses conventions of comedy films and how the media product challenges or develops those conventions.

It presents credits in a creative way within the film and uses a simple title rather than hinting at the plot.

Understanding the English Sentence: Lesson 1
The document discusses the basic structures of English sentences.

Sentences are usually one of three basic patterns: subject-verb (S-V), subject-verb-direct object (S-V-DO), or subject-verb-subject complement (S-V-SC). It provides examples to illustrate intransitive verbs that take only a subject and verb, and transitive verbs that take a subject, verb and direct object.
Question 1
The document discusses how the media product challenges conventions of comedy films. It analyzes how typical comedy films use bright locations, focus on schools for teen comedy, use natural camerawork and medium shots. However, the media product challenges these by having a 13-year-old boy's scenes at home rather than school and an older man at school. It also aims for social realism rather than romance and includes credits through a character rather than titles. The product uses comedic actions rather than dialogue and has a more serious teenage character. It adds speech bubbles and an open-ended narrative.
Teaser trailer planning
Two students at a college in England plot to sabotage their new head teacher's refectory after he turns students' lives upside down following the tragic loss of their previous beloved head teacher.

The tagline "How much can you take?" is used for both the poster and trailer to match the trailer text.
Evaluation q1
The document analyzes how the trailer for the film "Wannabes" uses conventions of real media to develop the comedy genre. It compares elements of the "Wannabes" trailer to the trailer for "Kick Ass" including introducing the main characters, establishing the setting, incorporating title designs, camerawork and editing techniques, and suggesting the genre through the opening scenes. The analysis finds the "Wannabes" trailer effectively utilizes standard conventions for comedy trailers while not requiring complex special effects like the action film "Kick Ass".
Evaluation Post 1
1) The film opening uses typical horror and thriller conventions like suspenseful music, quiet camerawork without shakes, and a masked antagonist to build mystery and tension.
2) The protagonist is introduced as a normal student character to make the audience relate to him, while the antagonist is only shown from behind at first to add suspense.
3) Different locations are used, both indoors and outdoors, with the protagonist ultimately killed alone in an isolated outdoor area as is common in horror films.
Evaluation Question 1
Our media product, a film, follows many conventions of the thriller and horror genres. We used high angle wide shots during moments of mystery or uncertainty, as thrillers typically do, to give context and portray character attitudes. We also used over-the-shoulder shots for the antagonist to foreshadow events, mirroring horror films. While conforming to these conventions, we also challenged some by using thoughtful mise-en-scene to reveal character personalities and an unconventional poster featuring the isolated school setting to promote mystery. Overall, we strategically employed genre conventions to engage audiences while putting our own spin on some elements.

The document selects the font "True Lies" to connote the protagonist's incomplete mental state through faded letters. It also discusses standard practices and innovative placements for opening and ending credits, such as credits appearing chopped in half or amongst roads to isolate characters. Finally, it provides examples of inspirational orchestral scores that convey danger and threat for the film's characters.

Presentation on media disability
This document discusses the representation and stereotypes of people with physical disabilities in media. It provides links to videos about representing disability and lists common stereotypes such as assuming those with disabilities are less intelligent, lazy, or incapable of regular tasks unrelated to their disability. The stereotypes also include seeing the disabled as fragile beyond their impairment or as a liability rather than an asset.
Task 3
A film distribution company like Screen Gems would be well suited to distribute our thriller/horror film because they have experience with similar subgenres. Screen Gems has previously distributed films like "When a Stranger Calls" that found success both in the US and UK markets. Our film would likely appeal to wide international audiences given the popularity of the genre worldwide. Releasing around Halloween and screening for 5 weeks in UK cinemas before a DVD/Blu-Ray release in 3-4 months would be an effective release strategy. While self-distribution offers some advantages, hiring an experienced distributor could enhance our film's box office potential.
