Horror movie survey
The document summarizes the results of a horror movie survey conducted by Nishat Simi Khan & Sharmila Aktar. The survey found that most of the target audience was between 15-18 years old. Psychological and thriller genres were most popular, along with elements of sound/music, darkness, and settings that induce fear. Character preferences also indicated a liking for villains/murderers. Modern horror films based on real-life events were generally preferred over older films.
Audience survey: Film poster and radio trailer
The document discusses surveys conducted with an audience to determine the most effective horror film posters and trailers. It was found that trailers that included shocks and a sense of realism, like Chucky and Scream 3, were most memorable. Respondents said they want trailers to include conventions like blood and jump scares while leaving some suspense and not revealing the whole plot. Most said they prefer red and blood color themes in posters over black and grey, and find posters most memorable when they include vivid images that instill fear like body parts in Saw posters. The majority also said they prefer simple poster layouts without catchphrases that don't reveal the full narrative.
Media Questionnaire Analysis
The document analyzes responses from a 20-person media questionnaire about psychological thriller films. Key results showed that most respondents preferred 1-2 protagonists, wanted the film to invoke fear and leave them thinking after, and for the film to have a clear resolution. Respondents also preferred a sense of confusion rather than knowing what would happen, and limited or no graphic violence in a psychological thriller. The analysis provided guidance on audience expectations for elements like protagonists, emotions, plot resolution and gore level.
Research (thriller)(images)
The document discusses research conducted into the thriller genre and target audiences for thriller films. It provides definitions of thrillers and explores the history and popular subgenres of thrillers.

Respondents most often watch films at home on DVD/Blu-ray and discover films through trailers on TV and in cinemas. The research conclusions were that marketing should target both genders ages 16-20 with suspenseful and mysterious trailers and posters featuring attention-grabbing images.

Areas for improvement included the music and sound levels in the documentary.
Presentation For Media Pictures
The document discusses various photo ideas and shots taken for a horror film project. Locations like forests and abandoned buildings were initially considered but deemed too distracting. Makeup included fake blood and bruises. Various poses were tried like looking trapped under leaves or against a brick wall but did not convey the right genre. Dark clothing was used to suggest darkness. Later shots of a woman looking away and with a terrified expression were selected for the poster and magazine as they best conveyed mystery, fear and the horror genre through body language and facial expressions. The photos were then edited in Photoshop to enhance the eerie and mysterious tone through increased darkness, contrast and a green/blue tint.

Rough Version
This document summarizes revisions made to a magazine design from a rough first draft to a improved second draft. The first draft used too many bright colors that made it look unprofessional and for young kids. The photo was too small and hard to identify as the main focus. There was too much empty space with a black background. The second draft used fewer colors and made the main photo larger to better engage readers. Smaller side photos reduced clutter. Changes like raising cover lines and subtly placing publication details improved the professional look overall.

The document summarizes the results of a survey conducted to gather audience insights for an upcoming horror film. Key findings include:
- 76% of the target audience enjoys watching horror films for the thrill and scare factor. Jump scares are particularly popular.
- The target audience prefers psychological horror and watches films meant for older audiences if they seem scarier.
- Effective horror trailers and posters utilize unsettling sounds, special effects, images and dark colors to attract interest and hint at the storyline without revealing too much.
Poster Survey
The document summarizes the results of a survey about a movie poster called "Blood Circle". 22 people participated in the survey. The results showed that the poster appealed equally to both male and female audiences aged 18-20, which was the target demographic. Most respondents thought the poster suggested the horror genre and had a British style. While most said they would see the movie, some noted that similar British films often go straight to DVD. The poster creators felt improvements could still be made to increase its professional look.
Eval question 3
The document summarizes audience feedback received on a student film project. It discusses how the filmmakers obtained initial feedback through a questionnaire, which helped them refine the storyline, target age 18-35, and add suggested sounds and music. A second round of feedback on a rough cut showed high ratings for story understanding, music/sounds, and identifying the correct genre. This feedback helped the filmmakers ensure the story's meaning was clear and improve the film.
Question 4
The document discusses research conducted on the target audience for a horror film project. It found that the core audience is 15-24 year old males who enjoy gaming and viral marketing. They prefer genres like thriller, gangster and horror films with gory elements. Research was conducted through questionnaires during production and a screening after to assess how well the audience understood the plot. The screening showed overall understanding was good, though some details like the murderer's identity could have been clearer. Most said they would recommend the film.
Evaluation Question Three
The document summarizes feedback received from questionnaires given to audiences after viewing a draft of a thriller film created by the media group. The primary questionnaire provided positive feedback on the identifiable genre and engaging storyline. It also identified aspects that needed clarification like character backgrounds and motivations. In response, the group added a news report, flashback, and meeting scene to the film. A second questionnaire after these changes still suggested some confusion, so the group left subtle clues throughout to help the audience piece together that the main character was the assassin. The questionnaires provided constructive criticism that helped the group improve their film.
Evaluation Activity 3
The filmmaker gathered feedback on their production from their target audience through online surveys, polls, and recorded feedback. The feedback showed that the audience understood the film's genre as a dramatic thriller and were clear on the narrative and theme of mental illness. However, some elements of the narrative could have been made clearer, such as the depiction of the main character's mental illness. The filmmaker was pleased with most aspects of the production but feels the narrative and certain scenes could have been improved to better portray the theme and make the story more understandable. Overall the audience rated the film positively, and the experience taught the filmmaker about effectively communicating and working as a production team.
Question 4
The document discusses audience research conducted on a student horror film. A questionnaire was administered after a screening to gauge audience understanding, opinions and reactions. While most understood the basic plot, some were confused about specific details like the identity of the murderer and the reason for questioning a character. However, the audience generally enjoyed the film and rated it as tense, with most saying they would recommend it. The research showed the film was mostly successful in engaging the target audience, but could have provided more clarity on some plot points.
Q3
Audience feedback was essential to improving the filmmaker's short film at each stage of production. Questionnaires provided feedback that helped determine the target audience, genre, and age rating. Respondents said the film was a psychological thriller best suited to ages 15-35. They felt the characters needed more development, which the filmmaker tried to address in later drafts within time constraints. The final questionnaire found the film was understandable, appealed to both genders, had no noticeable technical errors, and was not overly graphic. Respondents enjoyed the ending most and said with more resources, they would add character development and dialogue. Overall, audience feedback was invaluable to continually improving the film.
Audience feedback questionnaire
The document is a questionnaire given to an audience to provide feedback on film promotion materials for a psychological thriller film. It contains 15 questions with both open-ended and closed-ended questions about the film trailer, poster, and magazine cover. Based on the responses, the materials were generally found to appropriately convey the genre and plot while intriguing the audience about what would happen in the film. However, some responses also provided areas for improvement, such as ensuring the film title is clear in the trailer or using a voiceover to further explain the plot.
Evaluation 3
The document discusses audience feedback received at different stages of production for a short film titled "Haunted". Pre-production feedback involved a questionnaire about the synopsis and storyline. Mid-production feedback on a rough cut helped improve the film by adding more scenes of a character. Post-production feedback on the final cut led to some last-minute changes. The feedback confirmed that the target audience was 16-18 year olds and established the film as a thriller genre.
Survey Monkey - Review
The survey received feedback from 10 people (5 male, 5 female) about their preferences for crime films. Most respondents enjoyed crime films and expected elements like action, violence, and weapons. Popular crime film titles included The Departed, Scarface, and Silence of the Lambs. The name "The Gripwell Killer" was seen as mysterious and villainous. The survey provided useful insights into audience expectations around crime film plots, characters, and trailers that will help the filmmakers improve their project.
Primary Research: Survey Responses
We conducted a survey as primary research to see what potential audiences thought of our thriller product, and how we could potentially adapt it to fit a wider range of audiences.
Q3
The document summarizes audience feedback from a short film called Goodnight. Most of the feedback was positive. The narrative was easy to follow thanks to subtitles providing context of dates and times. The roles of each character were also clear. The eerie music was praised for adding atmosphere and tension. While the cliffhanger ending was effective for most, one person felt the film should have continued. The emotions of sympathy and anxiety in the audience showed the vulnerable female protagonist was effectively portrayed. However, some felt this made the film cliche. Additional feedback suggested adding more dialogue to reveal information about the stalker character.
Evaluation: Question 3
The document discusses feedback received from audiences on a film project at various stages of development. Initial feedback on the storyline suggested it was confusing but interested audiences aged 15-25. Feedback on a rough cut confirmed it fit the thriller genre but suggested adding more music and fixing missing shots. Final feedback reassured the filmmakers that they successfully portrayed thriller conventions and entertained the target audience as intended. Getting audience feedback at multiple stages helped the filmmakers improve their work and ensure it met expectations.
Question 3. What have you learnt from your audience feedback?
The document summarizes feedback from a focus group on a film trailer. Key findings include:
- Viewers thought the father was the protagonist, not Emily, which was the intended deception.
- Everyone said they would watch the full film based on the trailer.
- The genre was interpreted as both horror and psychological thriller.
- Memorable shots included Emily hiding and a shadowy figure.
- Nobody identified Emily as the protagonist due to the successful use of misdirection.
- The soundtrack effectively created suspense but lacked consistency.
- The plot was correctly identified as involving a game of hide and seek between siblings.
Evaluation 3
The document is a questionnaire given to 20 people to provide feedback on a film trailer, poster, and magazine cover created to promote a social realism film. The results show that most of those surveyed were 17-year-old males who typically watch comedies. They enjoyed the trailer but felt the transition between music pieces could be smoother. While the narrative and genre were understood, some felt too much of the story was revealed. Most agreed the characters, locations, and props aided comprehension. The poster and most felt the magazine cover was engaging enough to attract interest. All believed the marketing campaign worked cohesively to promote the film.
Q4 media evaluation
This document discusses the target audience for a media product. The primary audience is identified as 15-24 year old, heterosexual, white females from lower-middle income brackets. Web 2.0 and relatable female protagonist are identified as ways to attract this audience. The secondary audience is 25-35 year old, heterosexual, white males from middle income brackets. More sophisticated themes and an intellectual mystery are seen as attracting this group. Audience feedback from an online survey showed that people enjoyed the engaging story, music, female protagonist, and relatable characters but some found it unclear and not relatable. The certification of 15 is deemed appropriate given the psychological threats and potential imitable behaviors depicted.
How did you attract and address your audience?
The document discusses targeting a 15-30 year old audience for a horror/mystery film opening. It aimed for this age range as younger viewers may find shots disturbing and older viewers would be less interested. The opening appealed to its target audience by using techniques from the similar film "The Lovely Bones," like a creepy field setting and props like blood common in the genre. Feedback from a questionnaire of 50 target viewers showed most would watch it again and continue watching, enjoying the ending drama and props, showing the target audience approach succeeded. Suggested improvements included adding more clues and drama to increase tension.

Question 3
The document summarizes feedback received from an audience of 16 people about a school documentary. Key findings include:
- All 16 people enjoyed the first 5 minutes and would watch the full documentary as it was interesting and they wanted to learn more.
- The documentary was found to have professional qualities like relevant interviews and footage.
- Strengths included strong editing and interviews. Weaknesses were some shaky camerawork and sound levels, which have since been adjusted.
- Elements like the soundtrack, logo design, and voiceover were also deemed professional and fitting for the theme of school dinners.
The feedback validated that the documentary and promotional materials met expected standards and engaged the target audience. Minor audio

Survey results
The survey results showed that the magazine was successfully targeting its intended demographic of teenagers and young adults. Most respondents identified the magazine as a film magazine and thought the title "Cue Flicks" was suitable. Over 80% of respondents thought the magazine looked professional and over 60% said they would buy it. The colors used on the cover were also well received by most. This suggests the magazine designers effectively incorporated the right codes and conventions to communicate its purpose and appeal to its target audience.
Evaluation
This document provides an evaluation of Kurt Plumb's film project which went through several iterations before arriving at the final idea. The initial ideas such as a thriller about a stalked celebrity or a slasher film in the forest were deemed unworkable due to lack of appropriate locations and props. The third idea of girls using a Ouija board proved too simplistic in plot and the filming quality was poor. The fourth and final idea involved friends summoning a demonic child through a Ouija board which was easier to film and had an unusual plot element. Research was also conducted into film conventions, genres, and audience feedback to refine the project.
Graphic storyboard kurt
This storyboard summary contains scenes that portray innocence turning to danger and death. It begins with a young girl holding a doll in an unsettling way, then shows 4 friends surrounded by darkness. Two friends wearing red nails are a sign of danger. Screaming and arguing with spirits is heard. Breathing and banging on a door show distress. A cat turns its head at the same time as a hiding girl, acting as her protector. A message that "death is coming" appears in red. A girl twists the head of a doll and drops it emotionlessly. Blood circles appear and disappear, with dripping sounds. The storyboard ends with the logo for Open Can Productions.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Trailer survey
- 1. Film Trailer: Survey Results By Hollie-Jade Higgins and Kurt Plumb
- 2. Q1: Are you male or female? The good thing about having exactly 10 respondents from each gender is that the overall survey will be less bias.
- 3. Q2: How old are you? The age range of respondents for this survey are all around our target audience. The average age of the respondents is 17.9.
- 4. Q3: Do you think that the film trailer has been completed to a professional standard? This shows Kurt and I that the conventions and codes that we followed have worked and our film trailer has been completed to a proffesional standard.
- 5. Q4: What gender do you think Blood Circle is aimed at? The majority of our respondents said that Blood Circle was aimed at both genders which is what Kurt and I aimed for. This means that we have found the balance that’s needed to attract both genders.
- 6. Q5: What genre do you think Blood Circle belong in? Although not 100% of respondents said that Blood Circle looked like a horror movie, it can be hard to distinguish between the horror and thriller genres as they can often overlap. All in all this is a good result.
- 7. Q6: Did the sound used add to the overall effect of the trailer? The various sounds that Kurt and I have used in the trailer both diagetic and non-diagetic where clearly effective. I believe that sound is very important as it helps to establish a pace to the text.
- 8. Q7: Was the child's singing and sound effects successful in creating an eerie feeling? 100% of our respondents think that the extra sounds and the child's singing added an eerie effect. When talking to our focus group we found that a lot of people found that the child being a killer was very scary as it’s unnatural.
- 9. Q8: Would you say that Blood Circle fits into the conventions of a British film? 100% of respondents think that Blood Circle looks like a British Film, this is probably due to a number of factors including the mix in ethnicity, accents and the un-Hollywood style non-glossy look.
- 10. Q9: Where there enough cuts and edits to keep you interested? After looking at professional teaser trailers, Kurt and I looked at the number of different cuts and edits that where used and tried to mimic this in our trailer; from our response to this question it appears that we where successful.
- 11. Q10: Do you think that the scene with the green tint and the scene with the high contrast where effective? The majority of respondents agreed that the scenes in question where effective, this shows Kurt and I that the use of varied methods made our film trailer more relevant and interesting to our target audience.
- 12. Q12: Do you think the ‘slasher’ style font used was effective? 100% of respondents agree that the slasher style font was effective. After questioning our focus group we found that the font suggests a dark and intimidating feel to the film.
- 13. Q13: Did you like the use of the dripping sound? The majority of respondents liked the dripping sound. After questioning a number of people we found that the ambiguity of what the noise was intrigued some viewers.
- 14. Q14: Did the film trailer leave you in fear? When looking at the results for this question, it is worth baring in mind that half of the people taking this survey are males; naturally they do not like admitting to being scared.
- 15. Summary of Survey Results All in all I am very happy with the overall outcome of our teaser trailer for Blood Circle. The survey results show Kurt and I that all of the methods we used to make our trailer interesting and captivating to our audience paid of. After talking to members of our focus group we received great feed back, with a number of people saying they wished they could see the film in the cinema. All in all a very successful project.
