The Fox Film Company was started in 1915 by William Fox, a poor Hungarian immigrant, and established their West Coast studio in 1917. After losing most of his money in the Wall Street Crash, Fox's company merged with 20th Century in 1935 to become 20th Century Fox. The studio saw great success in the Golden Age under Daryl Zanuck and with films like The Sound of Music, but declined with new laws and the rise of television. It is now owned by Rupert Murdoch, who uses it to promote his large media empire.
The document provides an analysis of a 2 minute 30 second film opening created for a media studies assignment. It uses flashbacks and lighting changes to hint that the main character is a killer and build mystery and tension. The film is intended to appeal to audiences who enjoy psychological thrillers through its unsettling editing style, atmospheric music, and unique camerawork that follows the character. The document discusses the film's representation of gender, its target adult audience, and the technical skills the creators learned in planning, filming, and editing the project.
The opening sequence introduces the main characters through narration and background music. It shows different locations that reveal aspects of each character. The characters introduced are Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Jack Black, and Eli Wallach. Though we learn little about each individually, the cinematography and music provide insight into their personalities. The camera follows Kate Winslet's character Iris by the end, suggesting she is important.
The document summarizes a music video being created for the Foo Fighters song "Stranger Things Have Happened". The video will tell the story of a man going through his daily routine where subtle things seem off or different. It will be revealed that he is actually dead in a hospital and the video was taking place inside his mind. The target audience is 14-30 year olds who watch music videos online. Stylistic influences include films with surreal elements like Shutter Island that don't fully reveal the twist until later. Various locations will be filmed to depict scenes from the song lyrics.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

3. The sound style Before we decided on what song we wanted to do we all agreed that we wanted to do a song where we could fit in a story to the lyrics, to keep going back to throughout the production. As we knew this could potentially make our production more interesting and varied so we could try and achieve the best grades we could. After looking at lots of different songs by girl bands and single women artists we had to choose between The Saturdays – Ego and Sugababes – Ugly. Here is the song we have chosen to do for our music video: Sugababes – Ugly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nD2vZfdzGg&ob=av2e We decided to do this one as Sugababes has 3 members and there is 3 of us so we can each have the same amount of lip syncing. But also, because we thought that the song lyrics have a lot of meaning to them so they would be good for making a story to and because, although it is a slow-tempo song, the chorus is quick enough for us to dance to if we wanted to include dance moves and it isn’t so slow that we can’t lip sync effectively to it.
4.
5. Genre & stylistic influences The genre of the song we have chosen, ‘Ugly’, is pop. We decided on this type of music as we all are fans of the genre and know this song well meaning that it would be more enjoyable for us to produce. Also, as Pop is generally aimed at the teen/young adult age group, we can ensure that we make a production that appeals, with us knowing what the market wants and enjoys, to our own target audience. ‘ Pop music - music of general appeal to teenagers; a bland watered-down version of rock'n'roll with more rhythm and harmony and an emphasis on romantic love’* Some other examples of pop artists along with Sugababes, are Jessie J, Britney Spears, and Adele, who have all had hit records, with the song being focused around love and/or relationships, matching the definition of Pop. *reference – thefreedictionary.com
6. Style influences The style of clothing we have gone for is a lot different from the initial Music video, as this video was shot back in 2005, and the fashion has changed since. We didn’t want to be to dressy as this song shows emotion and its not a dance or rock anthem, so we need something stylish but Subtle. In there video they all have an individual Style, although in our case we all have the same fashion sense, and want to link in but look Individual. Here are some ideas: There clothing is not the same but they all link in and they look like a girl band should. We looked at The Saturdays, Parade, and The pussycat dolls for our main inspiration.
7. Intended audience & how they will be targeted The intended audience for our music video will be teenage girls as the song lyrics relate a lot to being self-conscious, caring a lot about image and realising that you should love yourself for who you are on the inside instead of what you look like on the outside. Which are all issues which teenage girls can easily relate to. Our intended audience will have a small disposable income in comparison to other members of the population as they will either have a part time job or they will be living off their parents money therefore the things they spend their money on is likely to be going out to clubs or occasionally the cinema and shopping as their social life will be what they want to spend their money on. They are likely to watch a variety of TV shows for example “The only way is Essex” or “Made in Chelsea” as well as TV shows like “Eastenders” and “Hollyoaks”. They are also likely to read magazines such as Cosmo, Company and Bliss as these all contain articles which relate to our intended audience. We will target our audience by starring in the production ourselves so other teenage girls can relate to us easily as we are of similar age and we will also wear fashionable clothes which will interest young girls.

The visual style After looking at other music videos by girl bands such as, Girls Aloud and Sugababes, we have noticed that they use a lot of close ups or medium shots of the each member of the band when they are singing and then lots of wide shots to show all the band together and their surroundings. They also all have quick editing to make the video interesting with lots of different shots. We have used these as inspiration for our own music video, as we would also like to include close ups and wide shots of us when we are singing. However, we also plan to have a story that fits the song lyrics, with lots of different camera shots, that we keep going back to throughout the song to make our production varied and interesting. An example of a song with a story throughout that we got inspiration from is: Shontelle – Impossible http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v =NWdrO4BoCu8&ob=av2e From watching the original production of the song we’ve chosen to do, we notice that the video isn't particularly creative. Although there is a clear story that does link into the lyrics of how ‘people are all the same, and we only get judged by what we do’, there is no illustrative examples of a clear relationship between the lyrics and visuals, this is where the video shows images of what the lyrics are talking about. We are planning on trying to include this. … .
9. A music video with lots of illustrative examples in is: Just Jack - The day I died An example is when the lyrics say: ‘so I leave work get to the high street and i miss my bus’ and an image is shown of the actor missing his bus. Another feature that we would like to include, that the Sugababes video doesn’t, is images of just us singing in a different location. As Sugababes only use one location throughout their whole video. So to make our video more interesting and appealing we are planning on using more than one location.

11. Ancillary task 1 Our first ancillary task will be a magazine advertisement as we believe this is the most likely way to attract our intended audience. In this we are going to put images of the band. You will find our advertisement in magazines that appeal to teenage girls such as: Sugar or Bliss .

13. Team roles To make sure we all achieve the best grades we can we are planning on all sharing out the jobs equally. We are all planning on starring in the production and taking turns in filming, editing and planning. Conclusion The unique selling point of our production is going to be: The story of Millie and Maya which will be consistent throughout the whole music video we believe this is likely to grab the audiences attention as well as making it unique form other music videos as it wont just be the typical “three girls dancing” as you see in many music videos we wanted to make ours more interesting for the audience.
14. People are all the same And we only get judged by what we do Personality reflects name And if I'm ugly then So are you So are you Everybody talks bad about somebody And never realises how it affects somebody And you bet it won't be forgotten Envy is the only thing it could be Cos people are all the same (The same, the same) And we only get judged by what we do (What we do, yeah, yeah) Personality reflects name And if I'm ugly then (Yeah, you) So are you So are you People are all the same (Oh, oh, oh) And we only get judged by what we do (What we do, yeah) Personality reflects name And if I'm ugly then (Yeah, so are you) So are you So are you When I was 7 They said I was strange I noticed that my eyes and hair weren't the same I asked my parents if I was OK They said you're more beautiful And that's the way they show that they wish That they had your smile So my confidence was up for a while I got real comfortable with my own style I knew that they were only jealous cos People are all the same And we only get judged by what we do Personality reflects name And if I'm ugly then So are you So are you There was a time when I felt like I cared That I was shorter than everyone there People made me feel like life was unfair And I did things that made me ashamed Cos I didn't know my body would change I grew taller than them in more ways But there will always be the one who will say Something bad to make them feel great People are all the same And we only get judged by what we do Personality reflects name And if I'm ugly then So are you So are you
