Individual pitch - Olivia
This document outlines a rough pitch idea for a music video for the song "Revenge" by XXXTentacion. The narrative music video will follow the relationship between two friends, one dealing with mental illness, and how the friend's death from their illness affects the other. Scenes will be filmed at the home of the character with mental illness to show their private struggle, and at school to depict happier times between the two friends. Clothing will be kept casual and dark to subtly signify the character's depression and mental health issues.
Jaymes - Pitch To Group
The video will tell the story of two childhood best friends who grew apart after college, with one friend spiraling downward and taking his own life, as reflected in the song lyrics "I've dug two graves for us". The proposed artwork for the single would be in a grayscale, vintage style to suit both the melancholy nature of the song and the artist's overall style, presented neatly with minimal text on the covers.
Jaymes - Ancillary Research
The document discusses the marketing campaigns for several music albums and tours:
- Ed Sheeran's album used orange and white tones on the album cover and posters to reference his ginger hair color as part of branding him as an artist.
- Sampha's album artwork and tour poster featured simple but bright designs with calm colors to represent his soulful music style.
- Drake's "Views" album cover showed him sitting on the CN Tower but the tour poster had no imagery, though both used consistent color schemes.
- Dave's black album cover and tour poster featured the same font and black/yellow color scheme to represent the serious nature of his songs and make text stand out.
Ancillary Research- Olivia
The document discusses the album artwork and branding conventions for several artists. It analyzes how Ed Sheeran, Hozier, McFly, and P!nk use color palettes, fonts, symbols and imagery in their album covers and posters to convey aspects of their artistic style and brand. Key details like Sheeran's orange hair color, Hozier's quirky font choice, McFly's simple black and white photo, and P!nk's bright colors and tattoos are examined in terms of how they relate to genre conventions and the artists' personas.
Ancillary Rough Draft- Olivia
The poster will promote an artist's new album using similar colors and style as the music video and album to make the work recognizable. It will include tour dates to promote the album and social media links to look realistic. A blurred photo of the anonymous artist will also appear to maintain the brand of being unknown to the audience.
Og pictures used for digipak
This one sentence document appears to be referring to original tree pictures that are intended for some ancillary or secondary task. No other context is provided about the pictures, task, or purpose.
Lyric Analysis
This document outlines a plan for a music video to accompany an album. It will tell a narrative story through cinematic shots that reflect the artist's experiences with depression and relationships. It analyzes each song and section, proposing visual elements and techniques to represent the lyrics and emotions conveyed.

The goal is to help listeners feel less alone and to numb their own depression through sharing the artist's pain.
Digipack research
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Media A2 Evaluation Planning/Draft - Alfie
The document discusses the student's media product project, which included a music video as the main product and a digipak as the ancillary product. For the music video, the student researched conventions of rap and indie music video genres. The video uses a hybrid approach, incorporating conventions from both genres such as close-up camera shots and casual clothing. For the digipak, the student researched indie rock designs and took influence from Twenty One Pilots, using bold black, white, and gray colors and artwork to communicate the album's theme of mental health and depression. The student aims to create a consistent brand identity across products but worries the somber color scheme may not appeal to a wide audience.
Media evaluation - Tanya
The document discusses conventions in music videos and how the media production challenges some conventions while conforming to others. It aims to create a cohesive brand identity across the main video and ancillary materials like the album cover and poster. Audience feedback helped ensure the video appealed to the target demographic despite breaking some alternative genre conventions. Various technologies were used effectively at different stages of planning, production, and evaluation, with YouTube, editing software, and mobile devices proving particularly useful.
Ancillary task – Audience survey Blanc
This document summarizes the results of an audience survey conducted to help decide the final design elements for a digipak. The survey asked audience members whether they preferred a pink/white or black/grey color scheme, and they voted for the black/grey scheme. This color scheme was then used for the digipak design and poster. The survey also helped determine the album name, which was changed from "Blood on Me" to "The Explanation" based on audience feedback that the new name was bolder and better fit the targeted genre.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

The notebook - Megan
- 1. The colour – red – connotes to love. The red ambience of the scene creates a very warm and inviting atmosphere for the viewer. Love is normally quite warm which is why the director has specifically chosen the colour red as the film is to do with love. The sun is also a very warm tone and creates this warm atmosphere, the sun is almost like a pathway for the man. Its also shining down on him – this could signify he is the main character within the film. This is a convention as the main character is introduced within the opening sequence.
- 2. The use of the long shot establishes that he is is the main focus, especially the use of the positioning of the man. As he is the centre of the screen in the long shot, it connates that he is the main focus of the film as it symbolizes he is an important character.
- 3. The establishing shot – along with the many other establishing shots – connotes that this place maybe important to the rest of the film. Maybe the focus of where the love scene takes place or an important location within one of the scenes – maybe where the couple first meet. The consistency of the warm colours also establish this film is about love – warm being something you feel stereotypically feel when you're in love
- 4. The establishing shot allows the viewer to see the birds flying to the house. The house may be quite an important figure in the film as the birds are flying towards the house. Birds also represent freedom which may be featured within the film – maybe love as freed one of the characters. This would be a unconventional as normally romantic films don't normally include freedom within romance. The house could maybe one of the main focuses in the film which is why the birds are flying towards it.
- 5. The long shot of the house also signifies that the house is important and hint that it could be one of the main focal points for the developing characters relationship. Within the house, warm colours are also seen which also indicates that the house is a focal point for the film and for the characters.
- 6. The long shot of the view from inside the house onto the man, shows the woman is looking at the man. This could connote that the man and the woman are the focus of the film as the woman is looking out onto the man who is in the focus of the shot. The continuing of warm colours also creates this atmosphere of love and comfort, supporting the idea of the man and woman being the focus of the film – maybe about their love story.
- 7. The long shot of the woman by the window implies she is an important character as she is in the house which has been the main focal point for the opening sequence. The reflection of the birds also refer back to this idea of freedom. The continous warm colour also establishes the theme of love and comfort.
- 8. The mid shot of the womans face introduces her character. The shallow focus shows she is a main character within the film as
