Weekly Blogs
This document provides context for a student's contextual research project surrounding Grayson Perry and his early life and work.
The student looked at background information on Perry through quotes, reviews, and articles. Images of favorite works were included for inspiration. A mind map was used to brainstorm ideas, with transvestism and Thatcher's Britain recurring themes.
The student found clips from a Perry documentary discussing gender and identity helpful. A meeting was held to narrow the project focus, deciding to use Claire as a Soldier as a focal piece and link it to themes of masculinity in the 1980s.
Research was refocused on how Claire might be different 40 years later. Tutorials on documentary filming techniques were reviewed

Each scene includes visual b-roll of the subject and an interview where they discuss their experiences as a woman in their respective era, allowing comparisons across the decades from the 1980s to present day.
Planning and pre production
Madeleine Ross is planning her final documentary project. She has done research on topics like masculinity, women's issues, and documentary techniques. Her tutors have emphasized making the project personal. She will focus on issues personal to her and interview her mother about what it was like to be a young woman in the 1980s. She will compare their experiences to the artwork "Claire as a Soldier." For her planning, she will provide great depth and detail about every aspect of the project.
She will use complementary colors like orange and blue to set tone. Orange will represent youth and happiness in discussing her own experiences, while blue will represent the past when discussing her mother's experiences. She will use soft, natural lighting
Fmp problem solving and experimentation
The document discusses several theoretical problems that may arise when filming outdoors during the COVID-19 pandemic. These include lighting issues due to uncontrolled natural lighting; audio issues from wind and traffic noise; weather restrictions from rain, snow, etc. that could damage equipment or endanger crew; and challenges working with actors/crew while maintaining social distancing guidelines. Potential solutions are provided, such as filming at golden hour, using reflectors and wind shields, checking the weather forecast, having backup indoor locations, and communicating safety procedures to cast and crew.
Contingency planning sheet
This document outlines contingency plans for potential issues that could arise during an outdoor film shoot. It identifies issues such as unpredictable natural lighting, audio interference from wind/traffic, weather disruptions, reduced crew size due to COVID-19, conducting remote interviews, technical equipment failures, and obtaining usable footage. For each issue, it proposes solutions such as scheduling around golden hour, using wind shields/directional mics, checking weather forecasts, sanitizing equipment, bringing backup batteries/memory cards, and building in reshoots. The document stresses having backups, testing equipment beforehand, clear responsibilities, and flexibility in the schedule.
Research fmp y2
This document discusses different styles of documentary filmmaking. It describes poetic documentaries as eschewing linear continuity in favor of mood and tone created through juxtaposed imagery. Poetic documentaries often have little or no narrative content, instead using highly composed, visually striking images that can tell a story without words. Expository documentaries establish a point of view through voiceover, while participatory documentaries involve interaction between filmmakers and subjects. Observational documentaries act as a fly-on-the-wall, reflexive documentaries examine the filmmaking process itself, and performative documentaries use the filmmaker's relationship with the subject.
Renewed proposal for FMP
Madeleine Ross proposes a poetic documentary exploring issues facing contemporary women. She will examine the artwork "Claire as a Soldier" and how its message may have changed from the 1980s. Research will analyze masculinity in the 1980s, challenges of career and motherhood today, and how the internet both harms and supports women. The documentary will be evaluated through weekly reflections, behind-the-scenes footage, and a final review of each section's success. Production will include interviews, b-roll, editing, feedback, and final presentation.
Fmp proposal 2020
Madeleine Ross proposes creating an audio project exploring coming of age during Margaret Thatcher's time as prime minister in the UK and how her policies impacted young people's understanding of gender and sexuality. The project will feature interviews with LGBTQ people and research the social and political climate of the 1980s. Madeleine will evaluate her progress through weekly reflections and behind-the-scenes footage, and upon completion will provide an in-depth evaluation of each project element and create a longer visual blog to showcase the entire process. The project will be completed over 16 weeks through research, production, evaluation, and presentation stages.
Contextual research fmp
Grayson Perry explores themes of social class, gender, and identity in his early works known as The Pre-Therapy Years. Perry creates a foundation for subjects he would continue exploring such as masculinity. His works challenge conservative ideas of masculinity and embrace femininity. Researching the socio-political climate of 1980s UK provided important context, as it was a tough time for British working-classes and masculinity under Thatcher's government. Perry's works commented on the crisis of masculinity and issues of that era.

The document discusses how the 1999 film American Beauty portrayed gender roles in families and how representation has changed since. It notes that while the film showed characters fulfilling stereotypical roles of the time like Carolyn as the homemaker, it also suggested these roles trapped and limited them. Modern family representations show more diversity, like stay-at-home dads. Overall, the film both reflected and challenged gender norms of its time to some degree, but representation has advanced further since, reflecting society's changing views on families and gender.
Personal Study Essay
The document discusses how the 1999 film American Beauty portrayed gender roles in families and how representation has changed since. It analyzes the characters of Carolyn, the wife and mother, and Lester, the father and breadwinner, finding that while they outwardly conform to stereotypes of the time, symbols and their unhappiness suggest the roles trap them. It also discusses how modern shows like Modern Family portray a wider variety of family types and changing gender roles, with men now able to stay home and women to be breadwinners. Overall, while American Beauty was limited by its time, comparing it to Modern Family shows the progress made in representations of gender and families over 20 years.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can

The rise of edgar wright
- 1. The Rise of Edgar Wright By Madeleine Ross
- 2. Early Life • Edgar was born in Poole Dorset and attended the Blue School in Wells, and now has an honorary plaque there. • Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, he directed many short films, first on a Super-8 camera that was a gift from a family member and later on a Video-8 camcorder that he won in a competition on the television program Going Live. • These films were generally come
- 3. Creative Beginning • Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, he directed many short films, first on a Super-8 camera that was a gift from a family member and later on a Video-8 camcorder that he won in a competition on the television program Going Live. • These films were generally comedic pastiches of popular genres, such as the super hero-inspired Carbolic Soap and Dirty Harry tribute Dead Right (which was featured on the DVD release of Hot Fuzz). • From 1992 to 1994, Edgar attended Bournemouth and Poole College of Art, now Arts University Bournemouth. Here he received an ND IN visual- design.
- 4. Early Career • Edgar made his film debut in 1995 with his western spoof A Fistful of Fingers. This film was broadcast of satellite through Sky Movies. The film caught the attention of comedians Matt Lucas and David Walliams, who subsequently chose him as the director of their Paramount Comedy channel production Mash and Peas. • During his time working with David Walliams and Matt Lucas, he did jobs for the BBC working on shows such as Is It Bill Bailey?, Alexei Sayle's Merry-Go-Round and Sir Bernard's Stately Homes.
- 5. In an interview with journalist and author Robert K. Elder for The Film That Changed My Life, Wright attributes his edgy and comedic style to his love for An American Werewolf in London: I've always been fascinated by horror films and genre films. And horror films harbored a fascination for me and always have been something I've wanted to watch and wanted to make. Equally, I'm very fascinated by comedy. I suppose the reason that this film changed my life is that very early on in my film-watching experiences, I saw a film that was so sophisticated in its tone and what it managed to achieve.
- 6. Spaced • In 1998, writers Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes were in the early stages of developing their sitcom Spaced for Channel 4 and thought of asking Wright to direct, Wright gave Spaced an unusual look for the sitcom genre, with dramatic camera angles and movement borrowed from the visual language of science fiction and horror films. • He made two brief appearances in Spaced, one in which he can be seen, along with other crew members on the series, lying asleep in Daisy Steiner's squat as she prepares to leave for her new house. • Spaced was a huge success, and has become a recognized british sitcom of the 90’s.
- 8. 2003–2013: The Three Cornetto Trilogy • The critical success of Spaced paved the way for Wright and Pegg to move to the big screen with Shaun of the Dead, a zombie comedy which mixed a "Brit flick" romantic comedy style with homages to the horror classics of George A. Romero and Sam Raimi. The film was a success critically and financially, and its rooting in American genre cinema helped to make it an international hit. The pair subsequently planned out a trilogy of British genre-comedies which were connected not by narrative but by their shared traits and motifs. The trilogy was named "The Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy" by the pair due to a running joke about the British ice cream product Cornetto and its effectiveness as a hangover cure.
- 10. 2014–present: Ant-Man and Baby Driver • Wright was developing a live-action film based on the Marvel Comics superhero Ant-Man with Joe Cornish since 2006. However, on 23 May 2014, Wright and Marvel Studios issued a joint statement announcing that Wright would exit the movie due to creative differences.[16] According to Wright, he had been hired as writer-director but became unhappy when Marvel wanted to write a new script. He was replaced by Peyton Reed as director, with Adam McKay and star Paul Rudd rewriting the screenplay. He and Cornish received both screenplay and story credits, with Wright also credited as executive producer. • n July 2014, Wright announced that his next film would be Baby Driver. Wright has described the film as "kind of like a musical", and Deadline Hollywood described it as "a collision of crime, action, music, and sound". The film stars Ansel Elgort, Kevin Spacey, Lily James, Eiza González, Jon Hamm, and Jamie Foxx.] The film began production on 11 February 2016 in Atlanta, and was released on 28 June 2017.
