An iPhone camera recorded filming shots for the trailer, and an external lens captured wider establishing shots. Digital technology enabled creativity through video, Photoshop tools, and creating an online platform.
Question 3 (1)
The document summarizes feedback received from audiences of different ages and genders on a magazine front cover and film poster. For each piece of feedback, it notes what the audience said, what the creator thought, and how they decided to modify the next draft in response. The feedback led to changes like altering background colors, removing colors, not including violent images, adjusting text sizes and placements, modifying shadows, and repositioning titles. It concludes by asking questions to gauge how effective the materials are at conveying the film's genre and target audience.
Question 1 (1)
The document discusses three media products created by the author - a magazine front cover, film poster, and film trailer - and how they use, develop, or challenge conventions of real media products.
For the magazine cover, the author uses conventions like font, masthead placement and additional text placement, but challenges conventions through different font styles.
For the film poster, the author uses conventions like title placement and credits but develops conventions through different font choices and actor placement.
For the film trailer, the author uses conventions like ratings and production logos but challenges conventions through a lack of dialogue to increase mystery.
Film poster progress feddback
The document provides guidance on formatting movie posters, suggesting that the star rating should come first followed by the publication name, and to check that the spacing is even on the text.
Magazine front cover progress feedback
The document provides layout and design instructions for a multi-panel graphic or film. It recommends moving some stories lower and adjusting the position and thickness of a line. It also suggests adding more detail to a poll, aligning the skyline convention with others, replacing one story with another to space things out better, deleting a redline to allow clouds to show through, and including a short title for the film.
Know your genre
This document provides information about the horror genre for a group research project. It lists synopses for 5 popular horror films: The Woman in Black, The Conjuring, Sinister, Paranormal Activity, and The Sixth Sense. Common settings in these films include forests, haunted houses, remote areas, and suburban houses. The document also includes 3 iconic shots from The Woman in Black, The Conjuring, and The Sixth Sense and analyzes the differences and similarities between the images.
Camera movements
This document defines and describes different types of camera movements: tilt moves the camera lens up or down while keeping the horizontal axis constant, pan moves the camera lens from side to side, zoom changes the focal length to make the subject appear closer or further, pedestal moves the entire camera up or down without changing axes, dolly moves the camera toward or away from the subject, and truck moves the camera left or right while maintaining its perpendicular relationship.
Script draft first one
The two boys, Joel and Luke, return home on a sunny day in North London and ask Joel's mother if Luke can stay over. Joel's mother agrees but tells the boys they cannot go to the park that evening after something happened there last weekend. Despite Joel's protests, she insists they must stay in for the night. Joel and Luke then head upstairs.
Script draft
Two boys, Joel and Luke, ask Joel's mother Amanda if they can go to the park. Amanda refuses because of an incident at a different park the previous night. She tells the boys they must play in the garden instead. The boys reluctantly agree.
Detailed synopsis (1)
Two best friends, Luke and Joel, discover strange and disturbing items in their neighbor's shed, including knives, axes, and what seems to be blood and burned photos. Their concerns are dismissed by Joel's mother. The next day, curious to learn more, the boys sneak into the empty neighbor's house and make a gruesome discovery - a rotting woman tied to a chair in a dark room, surrounded by signs of violence. The neighbor catches them and ties them up, revealing that he has been murdering people to feed his wife, who can only eat human flesh due to her terminal illness. A confrontation ensues as the boys try to escape.
Homefront trailer analysis
The trailer begins with establishing shots of a suburban area to set the scene. It introduces the two main characters, father Phil Broker and his daughter Maddy Broker. The trailer then shows Maddy getting upset on the playground. Tension is built through changes in lighting, music, and quick cuts between important scenes. It's revealed that a drug gang led by Gator is threatening the family. The trailer builds suspense by not revealing too much of the plot and ends with Maddy being kidnapped, causing her father to start searching for her.
Moodboard analysis
The document discusses ideas for developing a horror film storyline and mood board. It focuses on common horror tropes like haunted houses, blood and violence, mystery, masks, lost/found themes, footprints, screaming women, and forest settings. These tropes are represented through various images on a mood board to inspire the development of a horror film storyline.
Magazine cover
I used various tools in Photoshop, such as the Magic Wand, Paint Bucket, and Text Tool, to create a magazine cover for a film. Specific effects were added to the text, like outer glow and drop shadow, to make the cover lines stand out. Conventions of magazine design were followed, such as including the masthead, release date, additional cover lines, a character image, and barcode, to make the cover look realistic.
Film poster
I used various tools in Photoshop to create a film poster, including the Magic Wand to remove backgrounds from images, the Text Tool to add text, and the Paint Bucket to add blood splatter. I also used layer styles like Outer Glow on the text to help promote the film's title, actors, production company, and release window. The poster aims to attract audiences by including recognizable actors and hinting that the film is "coming soon."

https://app.box.com/s/qhtvq32h4ybf9t49ku85x0n3xl4jhr15LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
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.

What makes an effective front cover?
- 1. What makes an effective front cover? Nicola Nightingale 12R
- 2. Q Magazine – Adele front cover The letter ‘Q’, which is the masthead is very visible and is placed in the left hand corner of this magazine. This will inform readers that this magazine is called ‘Q’. The cover line says ‘Adele’ which shows that the magazines main article is about Adele or could be an interview with her. This cover line is placed at the bottom of the front cover and is in a bold, white font which stands out. There is a quote which Adele may have said in the main article interview placed above the main cover line. Moreover the additional cover lines are placed down the left hand side of this front cover. They are all in the colours of red and black and they are all in the same font type. The image used of Adele is a close up shot of her face
- 3. Q Magazine – Noel Gallagher front cover You can tell from this front cover that this is a ‘Q’ magazine as well. This is because of the massive ‘Q’ in the top left hand corner, which is the masthead. The main cover line from this front cover is ‘Noel’. This is who the main magazine interview/article is about and therefore informs the reader this. This is very much the same as the ‘Q’ magazine in the previous slide as it is in the same white font type. It is also placed at the bottom of the front cover. In addition, it has a quote which Noel may have said in the main articles interview. This is very similar to the magazine in the previous slide as it has been placed just above the main cover line. Similarly, the additional cover lines have been placed down the left hand side of the front cover, however these additional cover lines are in the colour white, unlike the ones in the magazine in the previous slide. Just like in the magazine in the previous slide the image they have used of
- 4. Q Magazine – Kate Bush front cover Just like in the magazines in the previous slides, the masthead of this magazine ‘Q’ is placed on the top left hand side of this front cover. The main cover line of this magazine is ‘Kate Bush’ which has been placed in the same way as the magazines in the previous slides; the bottom of the front cover. However this magazine does not have a quote that Kate Bush has said in her interview in the main article of this magazine like the other magazines in the previous slides did. Furthermore the additional cover lines have been placed down the left hand side like the other magazines in the previous slides have in the same column-styled way. Like the magazine in the previous slide all the additional cover lines are in the same colour white but are in a different font size than the other magazines. The image of Kate Bush they have decided to use is a close up shot of
- 5. Q Magazine From these 3 magazine front covers it has now become apparent how similar they are even though they are from different years and have different artists on them. The masthead of the letter ‘Q’ is the main giveaway that these are the same magazines. Also, the main cover lines are all the same colour and placed in the same way; at the bottom of the page. Furthermore the additional cover lines are all placed down the left hand side in the same column-styled way. Although in not all 3 magazines are they the same colour. The images of the artists are all close up shots of their faces. In many ways, ‘Q’ magazine has a traditional style of front cover they
