Eval 2
This document discusses the representation of gender in a student film. It notes that the film only features female characters, which could subvert stereotypes of women as weak by showing them survive. However, it also acknowledges that having the characters run rather than fight could support stereotypes of women. It also references the "final girl" trope in horror films. The document then analyzes how elements like camera angles, editing, sound, and props were used to both challenge and potentially reinforce gender stereotypes in the film. It recognizes other social groups were not represented due to the short length but could be in a longer version.

Lo1 how do we analyse film chloe cleary[1]
The document discusses two main ways to analyze films: genre analysis and auteur theory. Genre analysis examines a film based on its genre by looking at seven key areas such as codes/conventions, setting, characters, themes, narrative, iconography, and messages.

Romance films focus on the love story as the main plot, while horror aims to scare or shock viewers through negative emotions.
Theory of Novel

History of horror
The document traces the history and evolution of horror films from the late 1890s to modern day. It discusses the earliest horror films created by Georges Melies in the 1890s. In the 1920s-1940s, Gothic horror was popular with films like Frankenstein and Nosferatu. The 1950s-1960s saw a shift to sci-fi horrors about aliens and demons due to advances in technology. Horror in the 1970s-1980s focused more on the occult and spawned popular slasher and animal subgenres. These subgenres continued into the 1990s-2000s alongside remakes. Modern horror encompasses all subgenres and aims to be eerie rather than purely scary.

The Samurai
The Samurai era in Japan lasted for 1,000 years until the mid-19th century. Samurai originally protected the Emperor and enforced his rule. Their role arose from Japan's difficult terrain, which made central rule challenging. Samurai were renowned warriors partly due to their fearlessness in battle and willingness to commit seppuku (ritual suicide) if defeated. Though formidable fighters, Samurai battles were not solely for glory.
Film genre
Film genres can be categorized in several ways including by setting, theme, mood, format, and target audience. Some common genres are comedy, thriller, horror, action, adventure, sci-fi, romance, musical, and documentary. Genres can also be combined to create hybrid genres or branch out into subgenres. While setting is one way to categorize genres, films with the same setting can have very different themes or moods.

Setting
As the play opens, the first monologues or dialogues introduce the situation. Be sure to note this information since the place or location may tell you something about the characters and the atmosphere of the play. You will want to consider the time (of the year, of the day), place (region, city or rural), and other concerns, such as language, culture, and socio-historical contexts. It is important to know as much as possible about the setting so you can imagine the characters and interpret what they say and do.
A play generally includes stage directions, which are notes in the text of the play that are not spoken during the performance. These directions instruct the actors and director about various aspects of the performance, such as when characters should exit and enter the stage and where props should be located. Stage directions often include the most detailed account of a play’s setting. You might be tempted to skip over or just scan the stage directions; however, they are crucial for attaining a full and nuanced understanding of the play.
Ultimately, the setting can simply function as a backdrop for the events of the play or it can have a profound effect on them. Settings sometimes symbolically represent plot and character issues. For example, a locked door could represent an emotional or spiritual obstacle within a character’s life. At other times, settings play an active role within a story, limiting or permitting the characters’ actions.
When considering the setting of a play, try to identify the details that seem most important. In what ways does the setting influence the events and characters? How does the setting reflect the central ideas of the play? Does it constrain or liberate the characters? Does it produce certain responses from the audience?

Characters
Amanda Wingfield, the mother. A little woman of great but confused vitality clinging frantically to another time and place. Her characterization must be carefully created, not copied from type. She is not paranoiac, but her life is paranoia. There is much to admire in Amanda, and as much to love and pity as there is to laugh at. Certainly she has endurance and a kind of heroism, and though her foolishness makes her unwittingly cruel at times, there is tenderness in her slight person.
Laura Wingfield, her daughter. Amanda, having failed to establish contact with reality, continues to live vitally in her illusions, but Laura’s situation is even graver. A childhood illness has left her crippled, one leg slightly shorter than the other, and held in a brace. This defect need not be more than suggested on the stage. Stemming from this, Laura’s separation increases till she is like a piece of her own glass collection, too exquisitely fragile to move from the shelf.
Tom Wingfield, her son. And the narrator of the pl.
Horror genre conventions
The document outlines horror genre conventions across several categories:
Setting is usually isolated places that connote being alone such as abandoned buildings, forests, or cities. Technical elements like camerawork and editing aim to unsettle audiences. Iconography employs dark colors, lighting, and props associated with villains. Narratives follow classic structures but leave room for sequels, featuring heroes facing killers or solving problems. Character types include victims, monsters, "immoral" teens, and police officers that can be allies or adversaries. Themes commonly explored are good versus evil, the supernatural, and madness.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Types of genres
- 1. Genre- the type/category of a film
- 2. There are different types of genres. For example: Western Horror War Comedy Romance Musical Action/Adventure Thriller Police/crime
- 3. Horror is a genre and they always have the same sort of theme. They are made to scare and frighten the viewer and cause fear for them while watching horror. The theme is normally dark rooms or places like attics, graveyards or haunted houses.
- 4. Western is a genre were stories and life is set in the 19th century. The theme is normally cowboys, guns, horses and mountains and is set in the west.
- 5. Genre boundaries can be flexible and you can get genre hybrids. For example the Terminator 2. I know this is science fiction because he is indestructible and he can scan things and people which is a big clue that he is a robot. He also teleports at the beginning which shows he can time travel. It could also be an action genre as well because at the beginning he reacts to the fighting but doesn’t kill anybody and only injures them instead. Genre= a system of signs/symbols/themes by which a particular genre can be recognised e.g. The Western= cowboy hats, guns, horses, mountains or desert, Indians, cowboys, gunfighter, ‘taming the west’. Genre= a contact between the audience and film makers Audiences build up ‘generic memory’ and can anticipate things happening- so the director can play on this.
