Astetcia review
In a day trip to an aesthetica event, the writer enjoyed an interview with the director of a series filmed during COVID restrictions, finding it interesting to learn about challenges of filming without close contact, especially with child actors. Student films shown as final projects were less engaging, with weird plots and being boring, while professionally produced animated, dramatic or comedic works are harder to do well. The trip was a good learning experience and the writer would attend similar interviews in the future.
Blog reflection
Throughout the planning process, the author researched many different film genres to choose from for their final project. They ultimately decided on a comedy genre, which was beneficial as it is their favorite genre and they had the most knowledge about comedic conventions. This allowed them to efficiently plan aspects like camerawork and comedic ideas without needing to do additional research. For the film opening, the author and a classmate acted in it since they both study drama and feel comfortable in front of cameras, and they received help from another classmate who also studies drama. Based on viewing the opening and audience feedback, they successfully created an enjoyable comedic opening through implementing various comedic techniques.
Question 1
The document is an evaluation of a genre film opening by the author Alicem Meter. It summarizes that the genre of gangster films usually involves violence and weapons like guns or knives. The author's opening used a gun as a prop and featured good versus evil binaries like other gangster movies. To develop their own opening, the author analyzed the openings of RockNRolla, Gangster No. 1, and Lawless to see what conventions they did not want to replicate, such as animated or dialogue-light openings. The author was influenced by universal openings and the dark lighting of the Godfather opening scene and chose an unexpected location of a shop stock room for their first scene.
Diary of a day shooting 4
The document is a diary entry describing a day of shooting a film. It lists the shots taken of various characters including Marc, Matt, Bill, and Charlie. It then describes reshooting several bits based on feedback, planning shots, getting props ready, and filming without interruptions at the pub.

They then returned to Marc's house for tea before departing.
Media
The film Mean Girls from 2004 uses various techniques in the opening five minutes to introduce the main character Cady and set up the story. It shows Cady's life in Africa and her transition to an American high school through cuts between her home, Africa, and scenes at her new school. This piques the audience's curiosity about why she moved and how she will fit in. Stylistic elements like zooms, titles in bright colors, and still images are used to engage the target teenage audience.
Modal verbs
The document discusses different types of modals in English including those used for obligation, prohibition, necessity, permission, ability, possibility, certainty, and advice. It provides examples for each modal like "children must do their homework" for obligation and "you shouldn't make a noise during the exam" for prohibition. The modals are followed directly by the infinitive form of another verb without using "to."
Evaluation question 5
The document discusses how to attract a target teenage audience aged 15-24 to a film. It establishes the target audience and uses an intriguing opening with action to avoid losing their interest. The main character is introduced as having a problem and being bullied, creating mystery around her identity. Teenage characters and themes of obstacles they face will appeal to the target audience. A voiceover from the protagonist helps viewers relate and feel sympathetic. An intriguing title like "ID" draws viewers in with its focus on identity and mystery.

Skins
The document discusses various camera movements used in the film "Skins". It provides examples of different shots including a dolly shot introducing characters Tony and Sid in a cafe, a tilt up Michelle's body showing her confidence, and a zoom on Tony and Michelle kissing to show their comfort with sexuality. A pan in the choir audition reveals Tony is a talented singer who wants the girls' attention. A zoom on Sid's license plate emphasizes his character, and a pan of the exterior of Mad Twatter's house shows bars on the windows indicating danger. A dolly shot of Tony walking suggests he is busy. A zoom of Jal reading in class shows her growing annoyance while also displaying her patience.
Can and can
Can and can't are used to express ability or inability to do something, such as "I can play the piano" or "I can't play the guitar". Can and cannot are also used to ask and give permission, like "Can I go to the bathroom?" or "No, you can't". Additionally, can is used to make requests and offers, for example "Can you close the door?" to request something or "Can I help you?" to offer assistance.
NSPCC analysis short film
The document summarizes a short film about a boy who experiences abuse from his father as a child. As an adult, the boy is now a father himself and is seen shouting at his own daughter, showing that he has learned the abusive behaviors. The film uses camera shots and lighting techniques to imply that the boy feels weak, frightened, and alone as a child experiencing abuse. As an adult, he dominates his daughter in the same way through hierarchical shots and dull lighting in their home, showing that children can learn behaviors quickly from their parents. The film aims to show that shouting and arguing in front of children can cause them to repeat the same abusive patterns later in their own lives.
Nazim miah research&planning
Nazim Miah researched other films similar to his genre to plan props, costumes, locations, and music without copyright for his digital media coursework. He storyboarded camera shots to establish character and set moods. His target audience was ages 15 and over based on other similar genre films.
Nazim used a digital camera and tripod to film footage for his coursework, but some shots were unsteady due to improper tripod use. He recorded voiceovers multiple times to achieve good audio quality. He presented his evaluation on SlideShare and Webs.com, including how he addressed his audience.

It builds unease by showing a marble rolling on a table and falling to the floor. Shots include the marble's point of view as it rolls through the house, passing a porcelain doll and children's toys. Hints of danger are shown, like a book depicting a house fire. The sequence represents children through toys to create emotion and vulnerability without explicitly showing characters. It ends with the mother figure at the kitchen sink to further the unknown and set up the film's naïve character.
Evaluation Q1
This document discusses how the opening sequence of a media product establishes important elements like characterization, setting, genre, narrative, and visual style/ideology. It analyzes examples from the opening of the student's group project, noting how it establishes these elements in ways that both use conventions from real media openings like Seven but also challenge some conventions. Specifically, it uses costume and a prominent color (red) to characterize the main person in an unconventional way. It also establishes the thriller genre through creepy shots and blood while telling a narrative through focused shots on hands rather than showing full scenes or people.
N:\evaluation
Sophie created a short opening scene for a thriller film inspired by the movie "Taken." She used conventions of the thriller genre like suspenseful music and quick cuts between shots to create a sense of danger. The film represents the target audience of 16-18 year olds through the clothes and age of the main character. Sophie believes the film would appeal to 20th Century Fox as a distributor since they have distributed similar thrillers in the past.
Question 5: How did you attract/address your audience ?
The document discusses how the author addressed their audience when creating an opening scene for a film. They aimed to attract viewers of thriller films by incorporating conventions of the genre, such as using different camera shots and background music to build suspense. Feedback indicated that flipping the stereotype of the stalker's gender was unexpected. However, some shots did not clearly show the character's identity or relevance to the story. The author concludes they could improve by adding more scenes to the opening without revealing too much.
Nina Conti
The comedian and ventriloquist Nina Conti discusses how she became interested in ventriloquism as a way to overcome her childhood shyness. She found that using her puppet Monkey allowed her to express herself freely without accountability. Conti notes that all of her successful puppets have been "happy accidents" that she felt an immediate connection with, including Monkey. She talks about gradually gaining confidence in her abilities and transitioning from scripted performances to improvised shows involving audience participation. Conti believes that comedy and performance provides a therapeutic release from everyday stresses.
Final reflection
Chang Sun Lee reflects on creating and presenting a life story performance about his grandmother's experiences during the Korean War. Some strengths included using a phone to interview grandparents in Korea, taking notes, and practicing speaking. Feedback from classmates said his story was like a book and interesting. However, he struggled with ending the story and showing emotion. To improve, he focused on the ending, emotion, and making it more dramatic based on feedback. When presenting, he was happy with clapping and eye contact but nervous speaking. Overall, it was a great learning experience but he wants to improve public speaking skills and adding songs to future presentations.
Valade kyle week2_ted_assignment
The document summarizes a video presentation by Jared where he discussed visual ways to experience music beyond just hearing it, such as through fire, pictures, and analyzing noise frequencies. The summary highlights that Jared used various props and visuals throughout his speech to engage the audience. His favorite prop was a chart analyzing sound recordings from a skate park to determine which tricks and skater flows were most common. The document also reflects on lessons learned from Jared's presentation, such as using engaging visuals and being confident in the topic.
Media a2 coursework powerpoint
Max created a TV soap advert aimed at teenagers combining elements of Skins and Hollyoaks. He filmed scenes between two main characters discussing an unexpected pregnancy. Max storyboarded shots, selected fitting music, and dressed characters authentically based on audience research. Feedback improved the script and direction. Max learned effective branding across the advert and poster, the importance of audience research, and gained experience with filming techniques and post-production skills.
Media work 2
The document summarizes research from a focus group on a film opening sequence. The group tested the sequence on teenagers aged 15-18. Based on their feedback, the sequence successfully targeted its primary teenage audience but did not appeal as much to an older, more sophisticated audience. Some key points of feedback included making the speech bubbles in the comic book style sequence longer to aid readability. The overall message conveyed was that friendship is important.
Finished Media Work Final Draft
- The document discusses a student film project about a stalker. It provides details about the characters, filming process, editing, and feedback received.
- Feedback was generally positive, though some noted the music did not always fit the scenes well. The goal of building tension and suspense through an ambiguous opening scene seemed successful.
- The student learned new skills in filming, editing, and improving quality between preliminary and final projects. Time management was identified as an area for further improvement.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Ted talkspresentation
- 1. Todd: urdity Charlie of abs rience share d expe The o lamenc Katie P
- 2. Who? His name is Todd, Charlie Todd A Comedian/ Actor Lives in New York City Started Improv Everywhere
- 3. What does he/they do? As their site proudly tells you, they cause scenes. http://improveverywhere.com/
- 4. Thesis! To quote Charlie himself, “There is no point and that there doesn’t have to be a point. We don’t need a reason. As long as it’s fun.”
- 5. Have fun! Basically, he was just letting everyone know that it’s okay to do something a little silly so long as you enjoy it. Enjoy life.
- 6. Attention!
- 7. Attention Getter He starts off by telling the audience a little bit about himself. Then proceeds to talk about the first project. No Pants Subway Ride.
- 9. Keep it going He continues to keep the audience’s attention by showing them other events that the group has done All equally as entertaining as the No Pants Subway Ride
- 10. Ten Commandments I would personally say that out of the 10 commandments, the one Charlie embodied most was : Thou Shalt Remember all the while: Laughter is Good. You can clearly hear the laughter throughout most of the video due to either the humorous events unfolding or the persona jokes or comments he made
- 11. Dynamism Overall, I would give him a 5. He held the audience’s attention from the beginning and continued to have it for the remainder of the presentation. If anything, I would suggest that he might want to move around the stage to keep from seeming stagnant but I feel like he was engaging enough that it wasn’t a major problem.
- 12. What did I learn? I learned that being confident while presenting is a major definitely a good idea as well as the fact that it doesn’t have to be super serious, so long as the point comes across.
- 13. Compare I think something that both Charlie and Ken did fantastically in their talks was they were actively engaged with the audience They both also had a good use of visuals.
- 14. Contrast A thing they did differently was that Ken was very factual about his presentation which was good. Charlie on the other hand didn’t really need the facts or figures in his presentation so didn’t really use it.
- 15. Tips and tricks! I would suggest that people have visuals in their presentations because they tend to help from keeping the audience entertained.
