Weather research brad
The document discusses how weather is an essential consideration for filming a thriller opening sequence. It notes that the lighting needs to be dark enough to convey the thriller genre without being too dark to see or too light to fit the stereotypical approach. It also states that the filming of outdoor footage for the sequence is planned for a Monday evening when the weather is forecast to be partly cloudy, which links well to thriller genre conventions of dark and cloudy lighting.
Conventions of horror
The document discusses key conventions of horror films in five areas: setting, sound, props, characters, and camera work. It notes that isolated and dark locations are commonly used as settings to create feelings of loneliness and vulnerability. Regarding sound, it describes how diegetic and non-diegetic sounds are used to increase tension, with common diegetic sounds including screams and bangs. Props discussed include weapons as well as more psychologically impactful religious items and toys. For characters, the protagonist is often relatable to viewers while the antagonist poses a threat. Various camera shots and techniques aim to create specific effects for viewers.
Question 5
The document discusses how various elements of a student film were designed to attract and address the intended audience. Costumes were chosen to make the protagonist relatable to teenagers while making the antagonist appear menacing. Lighting techniques like chiaroscuro and black and white were used to appeal to fans of film noir. Interior locations took place in a familiar but confined kitchen setting to create tension, while exterior scenes in an isolated forest heightened the sense of danger. Camera angles such POV shots were intended to involve the audience emotionally. Cliffhangers and an ambiguous narrative kept viewers interested and uncertain about what was real.
Mise en-scene
Mise-en-Scene refers to all the visual elements that make up a scene, which can be analyzed using the C.L.A.M.P.S. rule covering Costume, Lighting and Color, Actors and Action, Makeup and Hair, Props, and Setting. C.L.A.M.P.S. is an acronym that describes the key components of a scene. Elements like costume, lighting, color, props, and setting provide important context about time period, location, and mood, while actors, action, makeup, and hair reveal details about characters and the situation. Camera shots like master shots, low angles, and high angles are also used to convey meaning
Task 8 as media
Jaws uses low angle shots and tracking shots in its opening scene to create suspense as the camera lurks underwater. The Sixth Sense starts with warm lighting and sound effects but shifts to colder lighting and a mood of fear when a threat appears. The Dark Knight sets anticipation with a wide establishing shot of Gotham City that zooms in as violins in the soundtrack build tension for an impending event.
Media Pitch
Blumhouse Productions would be an ideal production company for the film "Lullaby" due to their success in the horror genre with films like Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and The Purge. Blumhouse emphasizes low-budget films, making Lullaby a good fit. Partnering with Blumhouse could also allow the film to partner with major studios like Lionsgate, Paramount, and Universal. The target audience for the film's trailer is identified as young adults aged 18-22 of both genders, as research found they enjoy watching films at home and in theaters, and their favorite genre is psychotic thriller/horror.
As media coursework task 8 2
The document discusses camera shots and techniques used in three famous films to create suspense and tension:
Jaws uses low angle shots and tracking shots during night scenes to make the audience feel danger and anxiety. The Sixth Sense employs close-ups and medium shots to generate anticipation, and uses low-key lighting to create an atmosphere of danger. The Dark Knight starts with a wide establishing shot of Gotham City skyscrapers to set the location, then zooms in on a character's masked face to convey a sense of evil and terror through color and detail.
Evaluation 1
The document discusses codes and conventions for the thriller genre, including high stakes action, plot twists, exciting settings, and climactic endings. It notes that quick camera angle changes and close-ups of important subjects/events are used to engage attention and show relevance. Wide shots establish surroundings, though they are often dark. The document also provides examples of films that influenced its thriller, mentioning how The Messengers uses a flashback and does not explicitly show murders, and how Con Air moves at a fast pace and uses cuts similar to the film.

The opening sequence will be set in a ski resort and show Kinsbrook's accident before transitioning to his living room where he throws his radio in anger upon hearing news reports of his dismissal. The film will be a modern film noir set in 2012 and primarily filmed in the UK and France, funded independently with limited distribution.
Star wars
This document analyzes lighting, location, costume, props, movement, sound, cinematography, and editing techniques used in a scene from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It notes that the lighting helps make the villain seem ominous and the battle clear. Locations look modern to provide visual contrast. Costumes follow the convention of villains in black and heroes in white. Sound effects and music build atmosphere. Camera movements keep pace with the intense battle action. Editing techniques build suspense by cutting away at climactic moments.
Monster Short Film Analysis
The document analyzes various technical elements of a short horror film called "Monster". It discusses how the location of an old, dirty house makes the audience uneasy. Dark, dim lighting and black-and-white cinematography add suspense by hiding details and isolating characters. The mother wears white while the monster wears black, representing good and evil. A boiling pan prop builds anticipation. The frantic child movements contrast with the static mother, putting viewers on edge. Diegetic sounds draw the audience in while non-diegetic sounds emphasize reveals and scares. Static shots set the initial mood while later camera movement during conflicts creates tension. Slow editing builds to faster cuts and intensities as danger increases.
Pitch
The opening sequence of the film "Red Mountain" begins with ski footage at a resort, showing the main character skiing confidently. It then cuts to a news broadcast about murders and about the main character (Detective Kinsbrook) being suspended from work after a ski accident. The next scene shows Kinsbrook throwing a radio in anger after hearing this news. The sequence ends with a gunshot as Kinsbrook turns on the TV, which is also reporting on his suspension. The film will be set in modern times and shot in both the UK and France.
Locations
The document discusses several scene locations that will be used for different purposes in a film project. A sports stadium will be used at the beginning to set the theme and allow for smooth scene transitions. An urban area will be used for presenter scenes that do not require drama to maintain a good pace. A grass plain or football pitch will be used with stadium shots to show characters training and for more serious scenes away from distractions. A gym/fitness center will be used to represent the hard work of characters and provide props like exercise equipment. A dark pathway will be used with dark outfits to convey a sense of unease and danger. A neutral setting will be used for behind the scenes footage and effects work.
Question 5
The document discusses feedback received from the target audience of 16-24 year olds who watched a thriller film. The feedback praised the camera work and soundtrack for building suspense through the use of sound bridging and a tense atmosphere. However, some commented that the non-linear narrative with quick flashbacks caused some confusion. It was suggested that the cross dissolves between scenes be strengthened and the flashbacks lengthened to make the narrative easier to understand. The document also discusses how sound is a key element in thrillers to build suspense, using the example of Psycho.
Powerpoint defining photographic terms
This document defines common photographic terms used to describe camera shots and lighting techniques:
- A long shot shows a scene from a distance so people appear small, while an extreme long shot shows an even greater distance where people are barely visible dots. A close-up tightly frames a person or object.
- Panning follows the movement of a scene from a character's viewpoint, while tracking moves back from a subject to provide context.
- Artificial lighting comes from studio lamps or household lights. Fill light softens shadows, and back lighting makes a subject stand out against the background.
- Depth of field prioritizes focus on one subject by blurring the background. A tripod or monopod holds
Presentation film studies mese en scene
The document discusses various elements of mise-en-scene in films and television shows. It provides examples of interior and exterior settings from Titanic and Game of Thrones, as well as key props, motifs, and uses of foreground/background from Game of Thrones. Examples of lighting styles, costumes, and makeup from Peaky Blinders and Sin City 2 are described. The use of facial expressions, positioning, visual effects, and other techniques are also outlined.
Lighting
Films require lighting because film and video see contrast in a much more extreme way than human eyes. Without additional lighting, shadows will be too dark and highlights will be completely white in films. To make a scene look natural on film, it requires enough lighting to allow the film to see the scene similarly to how the human eye sees it. Lighting also helps set the mood of the film and is necessary for many situations where natural light alone would not properly expose a scene, such as night exterior shoots.
Question 2
The combination of the main product and ancillary texts is very effective due to their common theme of a hooded figure. The dark and macabre tone created by this figure is reflected in the poster. Color schemes were also important, with dark colors like black and red/white used to match the short film's theme. Pictures for reviews were carefully chosen to depict the same theme and create a cohesive package rather than just separate products.
Christopher Nolan Small Scale Research
Christopher Nolan is a British film director known for his nonlinear storytelling style and films like the Batman trilogy. He began his career with short films and his first feature film "Following" in 1998. Some key aspects of Nolan's style include using nonlinear narratives that are not told chronologically and use flashbacks, employing an anti-hero character archetype, and utilizing cinematography techniques like shot reverse shot and low-key lighting to convey emotion. His highest grossing films include Batman, Inception, and Interstellar.
Three trailers presentation 2
The document analyzes three horror movie trailers in terms of their style, music, and editing techniques. The first trailer for "Orphan" uses dark lighting and fast editing to build intensity. The second trailer for "The Ring" uses ominous music, dull lighting, and unsettling performances to create an eerie atmosphere. The third trailer for "The Grudge" employs quick cuts to black screens and disorienting editing to make viewers feel uncomfortable. Overall, the document concludes that these trailers were effective at using stylistic elements, music, and editing to elicit fear and leave audiences feeling on edge.
evaluation question 1 Dom Cook
The media product uses and develops several conventions of the thriller genre:
1) The narrative follows conventions of a mystery thriller but breaks some by revealing scenes from the end in the opening.
2) Titles follow conventions by including studio names and credits.
3) The protagonist is cool under pressure like in thrillers but the antagonist is atypically a police commissioner.
4) Soundtrack uses tense music to build suspense, sticking to thriller conventions.
5) Editing matches eye lines but also pulls focus within matches to enhance meaning, developing the convention.

The document discusses how the media product challenges and develops conventions of real documentaries. It develops the lower third title to have a "twitter box" graphic background to fit the social media theme. It also occasionally switches from medium close-up to medium shot during interviews to add variation. The mise-en-scene features computers or social media items to keep the theme apparent. A younger narrator is used to connect interviews and be more relatable to the teen audience, keeping the "voice of god" convention. Chromakey is not used to give the documentary a more realistic feel focusing on the story rather than graphics.
Pitch
This document is a pitch for a horror film trailer to the production company Twisted Pictures. It summarizes that the proposed trailer will follow horror film conventions to appeal to Twisted Pictures' target audience. Specifically, it will be set in conventional horror locations like woods or abandoned buildings lit with low-key lighting. The trailer will keep the audience on edge with a tense build up to conflict. Market research also found the target audience prefers relatable main characters and high tension, so the trailer will include these elements.

Youth gender etc
This document discusses Richard Dyer's star theory and how youth, gender, and ethnicity are represented in indie music videos. It explains that stars are constructed through marketing rather than reflecting the real person. For example, Miley Cyrus' star persona differs from who she is privately. It also notes that stars are made into commodities to generate profit, and this leads record labels to produce similar stars. Gender representation in music videos often depicts a male gaze and women as objects. Ethnicity of stars can influence fans' views, and portrayals sometimes rely on stereotypes that may not accurately represent a group.
Mise en scene t a
The music video for "Hail to the King" by Avenged Sevenfold uses black and white film and medieval imagery and symbols to set a dark, ominous tone. Shots include a skull emerging from clouds, the band playing their instruments, close-ups of tattoos and costumes, and quick flash shots of old paintings and the word "atone." The video has a narrative element of a crown being carried through a dead forest and placed on a figure, but the ending is strange as the figure is revealed to have a skull for a head. Overall, the video uses dark imagery, medieval symbols like crowns and swords, and references to the song lyrics to depict a theme relating to kings, death, and evil
Textual analysis genre
The document discusses several conventions of pop music videos including: including performance elements, fade effects and quick cuts. It analyzes Katy Perry's "Thinking of You" music video, noting it uses these conventions. The video tells a narrative story that reflects the song's lyrics about a couple separated by war. Camera angles focus closely on Perry's lips and eyes during emotional scenes. Costumes and mise-en-scene portray Perry as sexually desirable but the camera remains moderately voyeuristic to match the video's tragic tone.
Coldplay narrative
1) The music video for Coldplay's "The Scientist" tells a story in reverse order, beginning with Chris Martin lying on a mattress and ending with a car crash that kills his female passenger.
2) Scenes show Chris Martin walking through various London locations, appearing ghostly in a white shirt, as the events seem to take place over night and lead towards the accident.
3) Filmed on location in London, the video uses natural lighting, close-ups of Chris Martin's emotional reactions, and long shots to give a sense of journey and disorientation for the audience experiencing the story backwards.
Band
This image of My Chemical Romance presents them as a typical rock band through the use of dark colors like black and red that connote danger and excitement associated with rock music. The band members are standing close together in front of a black brick wall, creating a sense of imprisonment and unity. They look directly at the camera to connect with their mainly male audience.
This image of The Wombats presents them as a typical pop indie band. Their long hair and bright colored clothing represent the indie and pop genres. Daytime lighting and a setting of the band in a car suggest their upbeat songs target a niche, young audience.
This image of Taylor Swift uses nature backgrounds and her natural, feminine appearance to represent her
Evaluation 1 advert
1. The advert uses conventions of real media products by depicting the artists in a romantic setting on a beach to appeal to their target audience of 16-25 year olds.
2. It challenges conventions by making the background black and white rather than colorful, possibly representing a secret or mystery about the artists. This retro style contrasts modern colorful indie pop ads.

Subsequent frames provide more context, suggesting it may be a funeral at first but then reveals it is depicting a same-sex marriage, juxtaposing church rules at the time. The analysis discusses the use of lighting, costumes, and other visual elements to represent meanings and themes of loss, spirituality, freedom and equality.
Props list
The document lists and describes various props that were used in a music video to portray the artists and genre in a specific way. It includes props like a ukulele to represent the indie movement, a picnic blanket and bench to symbolize the artists' secret love for each other and lifestyle, a shell to set the beach scene, and sunglasses to characterize the female artist's style. The props were chosen to align with the themes, settings, and target audience of the independent music video.

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

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.

Weather research brad
- 2. Why is weather an essential part in your filming? • Getting the weather right is essential when creating our thriller opening as if the lighting is too dark, our opening could be seen as a horror to our potential audience. Additionally, if the lighting isn’t quite dark enough it, our footage won’t have that stereotypical approach which we are aiming our lighting to be, therefore we are leaving the it same, so that the audience can interpret what genre film our opening is from the lighting .
- 3. When are you filming our footage? • We have decided to film our outside footage on Monday 8th December at 5pm, this is due to the fact that we need the lighting to be dark in order for it to convey with our thriller genre. • I have researched on BBC Weather what weather we are likely to encounter while filming and the weather will be ‘partly cloudy’, this links to our thriller genre well as the clouds will be conveying the thriller stereotypes.
- 4. Connections of weather in thriller openings • Dark • Gloomy • Cloudy • Misty • Foggy
