This document discusses the target audience for a thriller film about a political assassination. The primary target audience is teenagers and young adults aged 18-40, as they will be interested in both the political intrigue and action elements of the plot. Specifically, the ideal audience member is described as an 18-year-old male student who enjoys hanging out with friends, football, action/thriller movies, and following current events. A secondary target audience of women over 40 is also discussed, who may be drawn in by an engaging plot and attractive lead actor. Earlier audience testing found that male teenagers prefer action thrillers while female peers enjoy psychological thrillers, but that suspense is a common desire.
Question 4
The target audience for the film is women aged 15 to 35, as the theme may upset younger viewers and it focuses on the bride's perspective. The target social class is middle class/ABC1, as the characters are middle class and middle class viewers may prefer a serious film about people similar to themselves. The drama genre also typically appeals more to higher classes than comedy or romance, as dramas are more serious and require an interest in serious subject matter like the film's serious topic.

Task 2 essay (bias)
Factual writing aims to present facts without bias or personal interpretation. Examples of factual writing include news stories, which describe events objectively without subjective descriptions. However, some argue that complete objectivity is impossible and that bias inevitably creeps into even factual reporting. For instance, certain news outlets have been accused of bias in their frequent negative coverage of some politicians and celebrities. Overall, while bias should generally be avoided in factual writing to maintain credibility, some degree of positive bias may be acceptable depending on the topic being covered. Factual accuracy should always remain the top priority.
11 theme
Theme is the insight about human nature that is revealed in a literary work. A theme gives meaning to the work by connecting the events and characters to our understanding of human nature. Themes are often universal as they explore common human desires, needs, and experiences. While the subject is what a story is about, the theme states what the subject means. A story's theme is usually not directly stated but revealed through elements like plot events, characters, setting, and dialogue. When identifying a theme, it should be expressed as a generalization about human life rather than referring to specific characters or events from the work. A single story may have multiple interpretations and themes.

The unemployed/students can connect with Vanessa dealing with family and school. The audience is attracted through Vanessa's narration and her actions shocking the viewers, similar to Katniss in The Hunger Games. The creepy older character Samuel makes the audience question his motives for following Vanessa.

This document discusses how photographers can create compelling visuals for election reporting by going beyond standard photos of politicians at podiums or forums. It encourages photographers to arrive early and stay late to capture candid moments, engage in a "documentary approach" by following politicians' normal routines to reveal unscripted details, and "make action photos" that draw readers into the story. Coaxing politicians to show their authentic selves outside of scripted events can help readers connect with candidates on a personal level and better understand why they should care about them. Starting election coverage early allows time to research key events and edit photos to tell political stories visually in an impactful way.Target audience presenation

The ideal audience member is described as an 18-year-old male student interested in politics, action/thriller films, hanging out with friends, and following the news. Earlier interviews with 18-year-old students found boys prefer action thrillers while girls prefer psychological thrillers.

Photo captions
This document discusses the role of copy editors and photo captions. It provides guidance on writing clear, accurate captions that explain the photo and pull readers into the story.

It also provides checklists for writing captions that identify the who, what, when, where and ensure names are spelled correctly.
Photojournalism
Photojournalism involves accurately capturing current events in photographs to illustrate news stories. Great photojournalism uses images to tell the story before the text. While maintaining objectivity and integrity, powerful photojournalism engages viewers emotionally and makes them want to learn more about the event. A code of ethics prohibits altering images, as even subtle manipulation can damage credibility. Formal training is often required for photojournalism careers, though some self-taught photographers still succeed. Iconic examples like 9/11 photos continue to impact viewers long after the words are forgotten.
Photojournalism
Photojournalism is the combination of photography and journalism to visually tell a news story. The history of photojournalism spans over 150 years from early war photography to the development of digital technology and citizen journalism. Effective photojournalism requires strong contacts, adherence to editorial values like accuracy and fairness, and understanding assignments from editors. It also relies on skills like developing story ideas, understanding news value, writing captions, mastering photo technology, and using composition techniques.
Caption writing
This document provides guidelines for writing effective photo captions in 3-4 sentences or less. It discusses different types of captions such as identification bars, cutlines, summaries, and expanded captions. The document recommends a 4-part structure for captions: a lead-in, present tense sentence, past tense sentence, and quote. It also offers tips for investigating photos, interviewing subjects, and crafting captions that provide essential details about who, what, when, where, why and how. Captions should concisely yet thoroughly describe the key elements of the photo.
Photojournalism - Introduction
Photojournalism is a form of journalism that uses images to tell news stories or support written news stories. There are two main types - photos that support a story, and photos that are the story themselves. Key aspects of photojournalism include timeliness, objectivity, and using photos to make facts relatable. The first photojournalist was Carol Szathmari in the 1850s. Major developments included the first halftone photo reproduction in 1880 and the use of photographers during wartime PR. The 1930s-1950s were considered the golden age of photojournalism, fueled by popular magazines. Leading photographers from this era included Robert Capa and Margaret Bourke-White. In the modern era, large photo
Photojournalism
Photojournalism involves using photographs with captions to tell news stories. The Father of Modern Journalism was considered to be the first photojournalist. A photojournalist captures images for news media, and a caption provides explanatory text to accompany a photo and answer basic questions of who, what, when, where, how and why. Good captions should be concise yet provide necessary context.

Photojournalism 101
This document provides guidelines for writing effective photo captions as a journalism teacher. It recommends that captions be short (around 15 words), directly related to and supplement the photo without just describing what is seen. Captions should answer who, what, where, when and why about the photo and identify people accurately. Captions should match the mood of the photo and not contradict what is depicted. Standard caption format includes noun, verb, location, date. The document also lists the credentials and awards of the author as a photographer.
Caption writing [lecture]
The document provides guidance on how to write effective photo captions in 1-2 sentences. Captions should grab attention, provide key details like who, what, when, where, why in a factual manner. For photos without a related story, the caption acts as a standalone with the first 3-5 words sometimes serving as a headline.

- Photojournalism involves using photos to tell a story or provide a visual narrative of events. Photojournalists aim to capture images that accurately portray events and have meaning or relevance to the story.
- Good photojournalism focuses on images with people, emotions, action, or something extraordinary that helps illustrate the story. Photos should have clear focus and avoid common, uninteresting shots like people shaking hands.
- In addition to technical skills, photojournalists must be assertive and flexible to move around to find the best angles and shots to tell the visual story. They approach strangers respectfully for identification and permission when needed.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
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.
