Question 5: Evaluation
The document discusses how a film targeted a 16-25 demographic by featuring a main character and actress of the same age. Locations like a café were used because they are familiar places the target audience frequents. The cliffhanger opening shows the character stealing money and being locked in a freezer, intriguing audiences about whether she is victim or villain. Overall, the narrative is accessible to the target demographic despite being less complex than films aimed at adults.
Additional group research

Opening sequence one any genre, one thriller
My analysis of the opening sequence of "Let's be cops" an action film and "gone baby gone" a thriller film.
Audience for our opening scene
The document discusses targeting the audience for the film "Dealer's Atonement". It suggests that the main audience may be male as the antagonist and hinted main characters are male. However, the representation of males in the opening could be seen negatively as very dangerous and psychopathic. This may attract female audiences who are shown in a more positive light. An 15 age rating is proposed due to the concept of a psychopathic killer murdering someone, though no graphic violence is shown. Partnering with Miramax could target fans of their suspenseful crime thrillers who like getting drawn into films for escapism through suspense.
Question 5: Evaluation
The document discusses how a film targeted a 16-25 year old audience. It did this by having a main character and actress who were both 17 years old, so the audience could relate to her. It also used normal, everyday locations like a cafe that the target demographic would visit regularly. The cliffhanger scene of the main character being locked in a freezer by her stalker encapsulated common fears to draw in the audience. Overall, the film aimed to attract its target youth audience by using relatable elements they could connect with in the characters and situations.

One character is depicted in modest, casual clothing rather than stereotypical costumes, with zero sexualization.

Horror trailer ppt
Our trailer will represent a group of typical teenagers - two 17-year-old girls and a 17-year-old boy dressed in casual skinny jeans, t-shirts, and hoodies - who encounter a horrific situation while camping. To make the characters more authentic and relatable to a young audience, they will use typical teenage slang and swear words. Our masked killer will generally fit the stereotype of a slasher film villain carrying a weapon and creepy mask, but we plan to distinguish our killer by having them use an unusual weapon - a pair of kitchen scissors - to add an unexpected twist.

Thriller Evaluation - Q5

Evaluation Q4.
Our primary audience for the media product is teenage boys aged 15-19, as research shows they prefer action and thriller films more than girls. However, a female sniper character is included to also attract female viewers by reversing stereotypes. Young adult males recently finished with university are also a target audience. Feedback from 16-18 year old test viewers confirmed they enjoyed the opening thriller scene. Boys aged 13-19 particularly enjoy cars and guns, both of which are incorporated into the story through a Mustang car and a high-quality sniper gun. The violence level in the thriller places it at a BBFC 15 rating, allowing for some strong violence but not dwelling on graphic details, similar to the film American Sniper.

MUSIC VIDEOS - TITANIUM.pptx
The document discusses the use of mise-en-scene, costumes, lighting, and intertextual references in a music video to construct stereotypes and establish narrative codes. Specifically, it establishes the dichotomy between the adolescent protagonist and the repressive adult world through the symbolic representations of teachers, police, and paramilitary forces that pursue the young hero. While the adult world is shown as boring and oppressive, the protagonist demonstrates the irrepressible power of youth through defeating his pursuers at the end, suggesting a message of countercultural values.
Media as evaluation
Parker is a psychological thriller film set in a high school. The filmmakers challenged conventions by setting a thriller in a school, which is uncommon. They introduced the main characters of Parker, a popular boy with psychotic tendencies, and Rachel, the object of his obsession. The opening establishes the school setting and Parker's growing obsession with Rachel through his extreme close-ups of her and scrapbook documenting her. Overall, the filmmakers aimed to attract their target 16-25 year old audience by including some comedy, sticking to thriller conventions like music and editing, and making the characters and setting relatable to those in high school.
Video Analysis
The video aimed to create a postmodern parody of a love story with a fragmented nonlinear plot to appeal to an indie audience. Scenes subtly hinted at the doll subplot without making it obvious. Close-ups of the girl getting ready created mystery around her character rather than objectifying her. The relationship seemed perfect through cliches but cuts to the girl's disturbing obsession with the doll created a postmodern effect. Through the boy's realization of her manipulation and the doll's role, the video used horror film techniques to build tension and merge the storylines, concluding with the girl looking to the camera and implying the viewer is her next target.

Feedback from test audiences is also addressed, noting they enjoyed the engaging narrative but felt the chase scene could be more tense.

Q6 attract audience
The magazine uses a unique font for its masthead to attract audiences by breaking conventions. Pictures, puns, and insightful articles provide extra information about artists to inform audiences. The use of popular indie bands and a compelling double-page spread feature will attract and engage the target audience.
Stages of contents
I began by adding the magazine logo and contents title in the house style colors. I then added the editor's letter in a contrasting color to stand out. Finally, I positioned 3 images on the page, resizing them until they did not look crowded, and added borders and page numbers to complete the contents page.

The target audience for the magazine seems to be young adults aged 15-25 who are interested in alternative and unique music genres like rock. This is suggested by the emphasis on rock band images and colors like black, red and white that symbolize rebellion. The masthead and oversized band name connote loud, intense rock music. Dramatic headlines with exclamation points are meant to intrigue and persuade readers to buy the magazine. Photographs show artists in confrontational poses to draw readers in. While mainly featuring male artists, the magazine seems to target both male and female readers interested in multi-genre music.
Percy jackson trailer analysis by vineeta
The document analyzes the trailer for the 2010 film "Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief." It summarizes that the trailer establishes through shots that the film will explore many places and adventures. Low lighting in museum shots creates a tense atmosphere. The protagonist is told he is half mortal and in danger. Music builds a sense of impending danger and excitement for the audience around the protagonist's dangerous journey to retrieve the stolen lightning bolt from Poseidon, the water god.
Skyfall vin
The document analyzes the trailer for a James Bond film sequel. It summarizes that the target audience is 18-40 year old males and action/adventure fans, especially those who grew up liking previous Bond films. Through traditional Bond iconography, an absence of voiceover, fast pacing, and revealing that Bond is dead at the start, the trailer constructs a narrative that the film will be a complex, exciting action adventure typical of the Bond franchise. As a well-known franchise, the trailer does not need to promote the director or actors.
Case study nme vi
NME magazine was founded in 1952 as a newspaper and later transitioned to a magazine format. It focuses on independent and non-mainstream music. The magazine uses red, white, and yellow colors prominently throughout for an eye-catching style. It features articles on news, emerging artists, concerts, and features. The front cover typically has a close-up shot of a band or artist. The magazine targets youth and adheres to a less pop-oriented, more authoritative tone since a 2008 redesign aimed at an older audience.
Music mag kerrang analysis dwaine and vineeta
The magazine covers the genre of rock music, which is seen through the bands and musicians mentioned who perform rock tracks. The masthead may connote rock instruments like drums and guitars through onomatopoeia. The photography shows the typical on-stage positions of the band members and the layout uses fonts, colors, and sizing that connote destruction and rock music to target rock music lovers.
Skyfall
The trailer for Skyfall establishes that James Bond is presumed dead at the start. It features typical Bond iconography like guns, cars, and women through its mise-en-scene to signal to the audience what to expect in terms of action and adventure genre tropes. While the film does not have a unique selling point as an established franchise, the trailer creates intrigue through its dramatic editing of fast-paced action sequences and the absence of a voiceover, relying on the familiar Bond theme music to draw in viewers instead.
Genre research
Indie music refers to independent music that is not signed to major commercial labels. It originated in the 1960s associated with themes of peace, love, and anti-war. In the 1990s, some indie music became commercialized by linking to major labels, but most indie artists maintained their independence. Indie music appeals most to people who value creativity and self-expression over mainstream popularity.

The pitch film
- 1. The Pitch Group Members: Vineeta, Juan and Rachael Chosen Genre: Heist/Bank robbery Title of film: 999 Tagline of film: Rebellion seeks no approval Basic plot synopsis: The film follows a vivacious young girl who embarks on several heists. A master of her craft, things soon turn difficult as she struggles to maintain a normal school life and her father who is a police officer who is in hot pursuit of catching the criminal. Like all great heroes, the young girl needs assistance to carry out this risky and complex venture so she recruits wayward teenagers aged 16+ but still manages to assert her authority among them. This sassy yet profound film will evoke a mixture of emotions from the audience. What type of characterisation will you have? The protagonist will be a schoolgirl aged 9 to 10 who is intellectually strong and has a secret life which involves amazing crime sprees. With her mother out the picture, the girl has grown up self-reliant and self assured but her fun develops complications when her father who is a police officer becomes involved she will have to make difficult choices. There will be fast paced action sequences but equally slow paced sequences to show character study and maintain the element of equilibrium. Describe Mise En Scene to be used or any visual motifs? Mise En scene will include settings in school and if available a bank. This will mirror the girl's two lives and will be shown in stark contrast. High key lighting will be used for the shots in school symbolising a safe place and low key lighting in the bank symbolising danger. Visual motifs will include guns, money etc.
- 2. What are your ideas about Cinematography/ Photography There will be long shots emphasising the height and size of girl. Also establishing shots and close up shots showing the intensity of the situation. Also tracking shots to involve the audience in the heist and empathise with the girl. Conventions of trailers/posters/film mags you plan to reinforce or reinvent? Conventions of trailers will be a mixture of visuals and words and also may contain voiceovers. The trailer will conclude with an amplified crescendo leading to a climax like many trailers. We will reinvent heist films by basing the plotline on an unconventional character which is the young girl. What resources will you need? The actors in the trailer will include members of our families and friends. Props we will use will be fake guns and fake money etc. Costumes will include school uniform to show the young girl's school life but also black costumes to blend in with the robbery heist theme. The setting will include interior and exterior surroundings for example some shots will be taken in school then outside in streets. Justification of ideas in relation to genre and recognisable film influences, also what is your Unique Selling Point: Our ideas have been influenced by films such as 'Catch that Kid' and 'Kick Ass'. These film include a young girl in there plotlines and have elements of violence and includes the genre of heist. Our unique selling point is that we are subverting the conventions of heist films which tend to generalise by having typically men in their 40's as the main protagonist and involve gang wars and stealing money. This film will bring a refreshing change to the male dominated genre.
