New in what ways does your media product use
The media product challenges conventions of typical romantic comedies in several ways. It introduces the female protagonist as a college student in casual clothes studying, rather than focusing on her appearance. It also shows three male characters competing for her attention, rather than the other way around. Most significantly, it uses black actors as the main characters, diverging from the typical white characters seen in most teen romantic comedies and appealing more to the target audience. The character of Chase is also developed as a "Bad Boy" through his dialogue, actions, costume, and ear piercing.

“The Pursuit of Happiness”, movie lessons applied in business when adversity.
The Pursuit of Happiness is a 2006 American movie directed by Gabriel Mouccino and starring by Will Smith, Thandie Newton and Will Smith’s son Jaden Smith. This movie is a biographical movie based on Chris Gardner’s one-year life when he was homeless. Chris Gardner is an American entrepreneur, investor and motivational speaker who struggled with homeless during the early 1980’s while he was rising his son.
Question 1
The document discusses how the media product challenges conventions of real media products in several ways:
1) It focuses on a group of girls welcoming a new member into their clique rather than exploring friendship troubles or relationships.
2) It has an all-female cast with no male characters, avoiding the expectation that relationships would be the main focus.
3) While it uses a conventional voiceover technique, the voiceover asks questions to engage viewers rather than simply narrating the story.
Evaluation Question 3
Legendary Pictures would be a suitable company to market and distribute the film Redemption. As a large production company known for action films with deep plots, Legendary Pictures' experience aligns well with the film. They have successfully marketed and distributed many action and crime films. Having Legendary Pictures handle distribution would take pressure off the filmmaker's small independent company. However, Legendary Pictures may not invest a large budget since the film lacks famous actors or directors, limiting its distribution.
question 1 media evaluation
The media product challenges conventions of typical romantic comedies in three ways: 1) The female protagonist is portrayed casually without trying to look sexy, going against the convention of using beauty/sex appeal to attract male characters. 2) The roles are reversed, with multiple male characters competing for the female protagonist's attention rather than females fighting over the male lead. 3) The "bad boy" character labeled as such does not follow the typical bad boy convention of having visible tattoos or piercings.
Evaluation Question 3
Vertigo Films would be the best media institution to distribute the film. While larger distributors like Warner Brothers and Paramount may have distributed similar gangster films successfully, they are not a good fit due to the film's unknown actors and complex plot. Smaller, UK-based independent distributors like Vertigo Films, Film4, and Miramax were considered instead. Though Film4 and Miramax distribute some large films, Vertigo's past distribution of films with a similar target audience and subject matter make it the most suitable choice overall.
What is a film distributor
Momentum Pictures would be the ideal film distributor for the independent thriller. As a distributor of similar successful thriller films, Momentum has experience targeting the relevant 16-24 year old male audience and promoting films through tactics like Facebook ads, Halloween bundles, and releasing to DVD, digital and subscription services to reach audiences in both the US and Canada. Momentum would help gain publicity for the thriller through their proven methods while also setting an appropriate spring release date and deciding the number and price of film copies to distribute.

Why do trailers exist
A film trailer is an advertisement for a movie that will be released in the future in cinemas. It aims to attract the target audience by featuring exciting or interesting moments from the film to indicate genre and basic narrative. Trailers are a key part of a film's marketing campaign and are found in cinemas, online, and on social media to alert the general public about a film's existence before its release.
Unit 20 p2
This document discusses the key elements of an advertising campaign for the 2008 film "The Dark Knight". It aimed to portray the Joker, played by Heath Ledger, as the most dangerous and crazy version yet. The campaign used unique promotional tactics like creating a fake newspaper and distributing "Jokerized" dollar bills to build hype. Christopher Nolan's approach was to appeal to fans by giving iconic Batman villains substantial screen time and incorporating realistic gadgets and vehicles. The target audience was Batman fans new and old who wanted to see the classic rivalry between Batman and his enemies portrayed in a serious, broken society.

They have distributed kids films like Top Cat and Pudsey the Dog as well as thrillers like Outcast and Monsters.

The document discusses strategies for attracting and addressing the target audience for the film "Ready Or Not". The primary audience is teenagers aged 16-22, particularly girls. Marketing for the film would play on people's curiosity and not reveal much about the plot. Scenes showing typical couple photos and a character smoking are meant to make the audience feel they recognize and relate to the characters. A shot of a female character expressing anger is intended to make the audience sympathize with her. Unique camerawork is highlighted as something that adds to the film's disorienting effect.

The document analyzes several movie posters and discusses design elements and their purpose.
1) Posters for romantic comedies feature feminine colors and simpler backgrounds to appeal to women, while action movie posters use brighter colors and layered backgrounds to attract male audiences. Both include images of men and women interacting to target couples.

Convention of factual media format
Television news presenters follow conventions such as researching stories, wearing formal clothes to appear reliable, and displaying breaking stories. Radio presenters need solid information but can appeal to audiences through listener polls and music. Newspaper websites present stories in large fonts and images with headlines, bylines, and advertisements. Documentaries commonly use voice-overs, exposition at the beginning to introduce topics, archival footage to depict history, and on-screen text and titles to identify people and add credibility.
Document Conventions
Documentary filmmaking utilizes several techniques to inform audiences:
Voiceovers provide explanatory context over archival footage to immerse viewers in real historical events. Interviews capture perspectives directly from individuals involved to make the documentary's narrative more persuasive and realistic. Montages efficiently convey changes in time or location through a series of shots to advance the film's storyline.
