How does your media product represent different social
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in a media product. It represents "Gangsta" culture through the magazine's masthead font and cover photo featuring fur clothing and a brick wall backdrop, which can have both negative and neutral connotations. Prison imagery in the contents also negatively represents Gangsters. The Double Page Spread represents "Glamour Girls" through pink font and a studio photo shoot location, which could negatively portray them as vain.
Target Audience Psychographic Profile-Liam
Matthew is a 17-year-old student who enjoys action TV shows and films in his spare time outside of school. He prefers genres like action and thrillers that have exciting plots and characters to discuss with friends. For thrillers to interest Matthew, they need to include action to drive the plot forward, though small, centralized violence is acceptable. He also prefers a male main character who leads an exciting, dangerous life that he aspires to, or a relatable younger character that he can project himself onto. Blending elements from different genres that Matthew enjoys, along with attention-grabbing openings, could catch and hold his interest in thrillers.
Who will be your audience? - Harley Jones
The document discusses strategies for attracting different audiences to a film based on a thriller novel. It notes that adapting a novel creates an existing fan base. It also discusses using elements of action and crime genres to broaden the audience. Two primary audience profiles are identified: males aged 17-25 to capitalize on social media buzz, and males aged 26-40 as potential readers of the source material. The film aims to appeal to both genders by including violence that appeals to men and an emotional love story.
Themes explored
The document explores several themes in a story, including loyalty, lust and greed, determination, and relationships. Loyalty is a major theme from the beginning as the female character meets another male while in a relationship. This creates drama as her lack of loyalty is explored. Lust and greed are also portrayed as the female is unsatisfied with her partner and is an unethical stereotype. Determination is shown as the male character is determined to find out what is wrong with his partner by following her and getting beaten up in the process. Relationships are important to the teenage audience as they can relate to the variety of relationship situations in the story.
Evaluation question 1
This document provides an analysis of how the author's thriller opening uses, challenges, and develops conventions of real media products. The author drew inspiration from films, TV shows, music, and social media to create their opening. Professional music and footage from shows like Broadchurch and The Missing were analyzed and certain elements like costumes, shots of children, and symbols of missing persons were incorporated into the opening. The opening challenges conventions by focusing on the disappearance of a young girl rather than following a typical thriller storyline. Feedback from sharing the opening on social media was also used to further develop and refine the project.
How is tension built in ‘the latenter
The document discusses how tension is built in the opening sequence of the film "The Latenter". It establishes that the sequence shows two characters arguing over how to split stolen money after a bank robbery. Tension is created through the female character's silence, their confined location in a shipping container, and the growing anger of the male character. Ultimately, the female character shoots the male character due to her jealousy over sharing the money. The audience is left feeling mixed emotions about the characters and their actions.
Feminist vs post feminist
This document analyzes various shots from a Britney Spears music video through either a feminist or post-feminist lens. Scenes depicting Britney as powerful or in control are viewed as post-feminist, while those showing male dominance or her as a sexual object are seen as feminist. The analysis also notes shots where gender roles are reversed, with a male as a sexual object, as supporting a post-feminist perspective.
Q3 evaluation
The document summarizes feedback received from the target audience (TA) of a music video project. Social media, including Twitter and Facebook, was used to collect feedback from a wide range of ages and genders. Focus groups of TA age peers provided more specific feedback when asked directed questions, though some only gave "yes" or "no" answers. Feedback indicated that shots were sometimes out of sync or had too long average shot lengths, so changes were made. Social media feedback noted that both genders enjoyed the video and found the narrative clear. Locations and black-and-white effects were well received. The TA research provided useful qualitative and quantitative feedback to evaluate the project.

Evaluation question 4
The target audience for the media product is teenagers because the main character is a teenager and teenagers could understand her emotions throughout the film more than any other age group.

The victim comes from a middle class family so middle class audiences may relate more. The main age group is teenagers, while older people tend not to like thrillers and children under 12 are not the target due to a 12A rating.

Thriller Evaluation Question 5: How did you attract/address your target audie...
The document discusses how the opening sequence of a thriller production targeted and attracted its intended 15-24 year old male and female audience.

Evaluation question two
The document discusses the main character, Gary, featured in the opening sequence. Gary fits into the social group of a family man and father figure. He is portrayed as the dominant person in the nuclear family who works and provides for his wife and children. However, the character also has a dark and psychopathic side. While Gary follows some stereotypes as the male villain, he also subverts expectations by being a family man rather than a typical thriller villain. The representation of Gary as both good and bad challenges audience perceptions of characters and their Binary Opposites theory that people can only be understood as purely good or bad.

The target audience for a mystery thriller film would be 15-30 years old, mostly male but some female as well. Both genders in this age range seek excitement from scenes of violence or danger. The audience's social demographic would span all levels from upper class to working class, as mystery thrillers can appeal to a wide variety due to their variety of elements. They would likely be employed or unemployed but with at least a good education to understand the complex plots and ideas in the films.
Presentation2
Our target audience for this media product would be 12-20 year olds, as the content contains mild violence and language unsuitable for younger viewers. It is set in a school and focuses on teenage characters and issues like peer pressure. We aim to appeal to both genders, though it may attract more male viewers since the main characters are female. The intended social classes are working and middle, as the school setting suggests teachers who fall into these groups. Viewers must be interested in horror genres and paranormal activity, as the film involves a ghost story and gory details. They should already watch horror films regularly to appreciate what this genre entails.

The influence of External Factors Upon the Subjective Experience of ones own ...
This document discusses a study that used interpretative phenomenological analysis to examine how external factors influence a person's subjective experience of their relationship identity. The study analyzed an interview with a single participant. Three key themes were identified: (1) Relationship breakdown, which looks at how factors like substance abuse can lead to the disintegration of relationships and change one's views; (2) Hierarchical relationships, which found the participant categorized relationships differently based on external contexts like school, work, and university; (3) Generational disparity, where differences between generations influenced relationships. The themes provide insight into how external factors can alter one's subjective experience of their relationship identity.
Final Research Report
This study examined dating experiences of online dating users and non-users among college students. The author conducted in-depth interviews with 5 online dating users and 5 non-users at Reinhardt University. The interviews were recorded and themes from the responses were analyzed. Using interviews allowed the author to directly compare experiences of those who do and do not use online dating, but interviews were time-consuming for both the interviewer and interviewees. Overall, the study aimed to expand understanding of individual experiences with online dating.
Negative effects of social media
The document summarizes research on the negative effects of social media use. It examines literature reviewing topics like cyberbullying, privacy issues, and addiction. A content analysis was conducted on media reports from 2010-2014 about social media-related suicides. A survey of 58 university students asked about their experiences with cyberbullying. The majority witnessed it on Facebook. Most felt those aged 14-16 were most affected. Females were considered most vulnerable. The document concludes that cyberbullying is a serious issue for ages 10-16, affecting females most commonly on Facebook.
Falling in love online
The need for human affiliation and forming relationships is biologically rooted. While some feel this need more strongly than others, friendship motivation and establishing warm interpersonal connections have been extensively studied. Online dating allows people to form relationships based more on personality rather than superficial characteristics, though it also presents some risks if users misrepresent themselves. Ultimately, effective communication is key to developing relationships both online and offline.
How to design voice as a companion
This document discusses designing voice user interfaces for personal assistants. It outlines research conducted to understand what makes a good companion. Interviews asked people to describe companions using photos, which identified characteristics like empathy, trustworthiness, and presence. Researchers analyzed the data to develop a human companionship framework with stages from childhood to adulthood. The framework informs designing assistants that can have human-like conversations and build relationships over time through personalized interactions. The conclusion emphasizes designing for individuality, the dynamic nature of voice conversations, and the multidisciplinary challenges of building voice assistants.
Real Vs. Virtual Relationship
What leads to ultimate happiness? Is it real relationships that are true and meaningful, on which we can count or is it virtual ones which do not exist in real life, and takes us far away from the reality that we live in.

The document summarizes a study on the effects of social media on relationships. It discusses previous research that has shown both negative and positive impacts of social media usage. The current study involved surveying 40 participants (half male, half female) who were randomly assigned to read one of two scenarios involving social media use in a relationship. They then answered questions to assess their views on cheating and the relationship. The study hypothesized that responses would differ based on the gender of the participant and scenario. While the results were not statistically significant, they trended in the predicted directions, providing some evidence that social media negatively impacts relationships. The study aimed to further understanding of this issue.
Social networking & adolescents
The document analyzes how social networking sites (SNS) affect adolescent peer relationships. It discusses that while SNS allow teenagers to stay connected with friends and expand their social networks, potentially relieving social anxiety, they can also enable sexual victimization, cyberbullying and lower quality communication. The document presents arguments on both sides and ultimately concludes that the benefits of SNS for developing relationships outweigh the risks, as long as teenagers are aware of potential dangers.

Liquid love? Dating apps, sex,
relationships and the digital
transformation of intimacy

Abstract
In Liquid Love Zygmunt Bauman argued that the solidity and security once provided by life-long
partnerships has been ‘liquefied’ by rampant individualisation and technological change. He
believes internet dating is symptomatic of social and technological change that transforms modern
courtship into a type of commodified game. This article explores the experiences of users of
digital dating and hook-up applications (or ‘apps’) in order to assess the extent to which a digital
transformation of intimacy might be under way. It examines the different affordances provided by
dating apps, and whether users feel the technology has influenced their sexual practices and views
on long-term relationships, monogamy and other romantic ideals. This study shows that dating
apps are intermediaries through which individuals engage in strategic performances in pursuit
of love, sex and intimacy. Ultimately, this article contends that some accounts of dating apps
and modern romantic practices are too pessimistic, and downplay the positives of ‘networked
intimacy’.
Keywords
Courtship, dating apps, hook-up apps, relationships, sexual behaviour, social media.

A ‘digital revolution’ is under way with regard to dating, courtship and modern romance.
Unlike previous generations, single adults today, particularly those living in large metro-
politan centres, have a seemingly endless variety of potential romantic and sexual part-
ners available through the social networks and algorithms of their smartphones. Indeed,
the internet has become a powerful ‘social intermediary’. It has partially displaced the
role of traditional ‘matchmakers’, such as family, friends and community leaders, as well
as the matchmaking function once commonly performed by classified ‘lonely-hearts’
columns and dating agencies (Ansari, 2015; Quiroz, 2013; Slater, 2013). Traditional sites
and locales for meeting singles, including schools, universities, pubs, clubs and ...
Social networking & adolescents
The document discusses how social networking sites (SNS) affect adolescent peer relationships. It provides background on SNS and their usage. Both benefits and drawbacks of SNS usage for adolescent relationships are presented. Benefits include supplementing offline relationships, expanding social capital, and relieving social anxiety. However, SNS can also lead to sexual victimization, cyberbullying, and lower quality communication. Overall, the author believes that for most adolescents, the benefits of SNS outweigh the cons in developing close peer relationships.
Deception at a Distance: Long-Distance Deception and Romantic Relationships
ABSTRACT: Research on long-distance relationships has focused on how to achieve successful long-distance
relationships (LDRs), the limitations of LDRs, and the satisfaction level in long-distance relationships. Further,
deception studies have focused on the nonverbal cues of deception and the effects of deception. However, few
studies have researched the interaction of long-distance relationships and deception behaviors in romantic
relationships. This study examined how deception comes into play in long distance relationships. There were
161 participants in this study. Specifically, we looked at how uncertainty affects deception frequency as well as
gender differences. In addition, we looked at relationship length and the amount of deception as well as the
frequency of deception. Results revealed that gender highly impacts the perception of deception.
Keywords:Deception, Frequency, Gender, Long-Distance Relationships, Romantic Relationships
Social media
The document discusses how social media has impacted online dating. It explores whether social media profiles provide enough information to determine if someone is dateable. The author shares their experience using social media for dating and getting opinions from friends. While social media can reveal a lot about a person, the online environment also enables lying and hiding one's true self. The conclusion is that social media can start relationships but more information is needed offline before they can develop further.
Tinderactions full draft
This study analyzed interviews with 11 past and present Tinder users to understand how and why people use the popular dating app. The interviews revealed that Tinder is used for a variety of purposes beyond just casual sex, contradicting popular media portrayals. Many users approach Tinder as a game to pass time by swiping through profiles. While physical attractiveness from photos is important, users have different strategies for profiles and messaging. Perceptions of Tinder depend on both individual experiences and societal narratives around dating and relationships.
Chapter 3 presentation
Teens today use social media to develop and maintain romantic relationships. They communicate privately online to avoid parental monitoring. Some key findings:
- Teens meet potential partners online and use technology like instant messaging and social media to flirt and get to know each other.
- In relationships, teens expect constant contact and public displays of affection online. Monitoring partners' accounts is common.
- Breakups online can lead to bullying, but social media also enables exes to stay indirectly connected.
- While technology facilitates intimacy, it also increases teens' vulnerability to emotional harm from unwanted contact or spreading of private information.
Gender on Facebook
This document discusses how social media sites like Facebook and Myspace shape perceptions of gender identity. It defines key terms like sex, gender, and gender identity. It then analyzes how users portray themselves through pictures, interests, and wall posts, often fulfilling stereotypes. Interviews with college students found they saw Facebook as a way to present an idealized image to others. There was debate around whether restricting gender options discriminated against transgender users.
What have you learned from your audience feedback?
The document summarizes feedback from a focus group about a film trailer and poster. For the trailer, respondents correctly identified the target age group and themes around social media. Shots of online chats and a slap were most memorable. The soundtrack effectively showed contrast. Only 1 person guessed the bully's identity. For the poster, hashtags and an anonymous icon represented social media, but more plot details could be added. The film magazine cover was eye-catching but its positive image didn't match the trailer's serious tone; however, some understood its focus was behind the scenes.

Running head SOCIAL MEDIA AND MARRIAGES .docx
This paper analyzes research on the psychological impact of social media usage on relationships and marriage. Several studies found that excessive social media use is linked to negative outcomes like increased jealousy and relationship dissatisfaction. However, the research also found the impacts depend on individual factors like self-esteem - those with lower self-esteem reported more negative effects from their partner's social media usage. While social media may negatively impact marriages through reduced intimacy and privacy, more research is still needed to fully understand its psychological effects on relationships.
