This document provides information on various horror subgenres and their typical conventions. It discusses the conventions of supernatural horror films, including common settings like isolated homes. It also covers conventions for gothic horror like gloomy settings and mysterious atmospheres. Possession films typically have isolated locations with dark histories and use religious imagery. Slasher films are set in suburban towns and feature masked or disfigured killers. Psychological horror relies on characters' fears and doubts rather than violence. The document analyzes examples from films to illustrate different conventions. Clips from films like Insidious and The Exorcism of Emily Rose are also embedded. The writer's group chose the possession subgenre for their film due to its complexity and relevance.
The document traces the history of the horror genre from the late 1800s to the 2000s. It notes that some of the earliest depictions of supernatural events were in silent films from the 1890s, and that the first horror film with sound was released in 1928. The genre became more popular in the 1930s with the releases of Dracula and Frankenstein. Horror films evolved through the 1940s-1950s to focus more on characters transforming into animals and introducing more overtly evil faces. The 1960s saw the rise of low-budget slasher films made outside major studios. Several influential horror films were released in the 1970s, and the 1990s-2000s saw fewer developments but some films that aimed to cut
The document analyzes the 1979 film Alien and its use of birth imagery and metaphors. It discusses how the film explores fears and anxieties about the human body through its "body horror" elements. Three key birth scenes are described: 1) the crew's awakening from hyper-sleep, 2) the discovery of the alien eggs, and 3) Kane's death as the alien bursts from his chest. Throughout the film, every "mother" character, including the spaceship and alien, dies after giving birth except the sole female crew member Ripley, establishing her as a strong yet maternal figure.

1) The document analyzes the target audience for an action-comedy film, finding it to be primarily males ages 12-40, though some comedy elements attract female viewers as well.
2) Research showed that popular action-comedy films from the last 10-20 years like Men in Black II, 21 Jump Street, and Bad Boys attracted diverse audiences through casting and storylines.
3) Conventions commonly used by directors to engage action-comedy audiences include introducing main characters early, establishing the narrative and mood clearly, and using flashbacks to provide context.
An audience questionnaire was given to 15 people. For question 1, most people (73%) preferred a city setting. For question 2, most (73%) preferred a funny genre. For question 3, most (67%) thought the main character should be stupid. For question 4, most (73%) preferred hip-hop music. For question 5, most (67%) preferred the Cooper Black font. For question 6, most respondents (87%) were between 12-18 years old. For question 7, most (93%) preferred a police costume.
The document outlines an action plan for a student group to film a short movie. It records their decisions over various dates: they initially decided on a horror genre in February, began filming in March but then changed their idea to a police comedy due to limitations of filming in school. They proceeded to film the comedy in a park in March and returned to the park in April to improve the footage, with the goal of finishing edits by April 10th.
This document contains two questionnaires about action comedy films. The first asks respondents to choose settings, motivations for enjoyment, character traits, music styles, title fonts, target age groups, and costumes likely seen in action comedies. The second is an interview that asks about watching frequency, reasons for preference over other genres, likely opening scenes, main character traits, and conventions present in the genre. Both aim to understand audiences and conventions of action comedy films.
The document analyzes the opening credits and scenes of an action-comedy film to establish genre conventions. It discusses how the use of color, music, font, camerawork, editing, and characterization work together to quickly introduce the main character and narrative while setting an atmosphere of seriousness undercut with comedy. Key aspects like the red/blue color scheme, Eminem song, and portrayal of the protagonist as an outsider help establish this is a film about police and authority with comedic elements.
This document contains Mohamed Bushra's reflections on their media studies coursework. They explain that they are resubmitting because they can now better link their research and planning to their final film product. They then provide responses to questions about how their film uses and challenges conventions of real media products, how it represents social groups, what type of media institution might distribute it, who the target audience is, and how they addressed this audience.
The introduction establishes the main characters as police officers named "Badcop" and "Worsecop" through freeze frames and annotations describing their physical attributes and lack of intelligence. The location of a park is an unconventional choice for an action-comedy that subverts expectations and adds an element of comedy. The opening credits are in all uppercase with a funky font style that connotes the film may have a twist despite its serious implications as an action-comedy.
The document discusses different lighting techniques used in films. Chiaroscuro lighting in used to convey a tense and powerful atmosphere around a character and create a sense of depth. Low key lighting, as seen in "Sin City", is used to generate dramatic effects through suspending and an eerie atmosphere. While some blood and objects had their natural colors, this lighting choice helped focus attention. In contrast, high key lighting, as in "The Wizard of Oz", makes scenes appear very bright and soft in an unrealistic way, conveying the fantastical nature of the film.
The document outlines roles and a script for a film. It divides the script into 7 scenes: 1) The main character Jack arrives at the building. 2) Two employees discuss the disappearance of a previous employee, Norman. 3) Jack meets the employees and is told he is replacing Norman. 4) The manager interrupts to show Jack his work area. 5) Time passes as Jack works. 6) An employee warns Jack not to stay late. 7) After everyone leaves, strange noises are heard and a terrifying figure appears telling Jack this day will be bad for him.
The document analyzes film opening sequences across different genres to identify key conventions. It finds that openings typically introduce the main character within minutes, establish the narrative and genre through elements like credits/titles, soundtrack and scenes. They also set the mood and atmosphere using techniques such as music, editing, mise-en-scene and cinematography. The analysis of action-comedy films like "21 Jump Street" and "Hot Fuzz" shows they quickly introduce stereotypical main characters and use elements like music, colors and editing to create a lighthearted tone and signal the genre.
This document lists different camera shots and the movies they are featured in, including aerial shots in Jumper, handheld camera shots in White House Down, crane shots in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, close ups and fast zooms in Fast and Furious 6, point of view shots in Chronicle, low angled establishing long shots and a forward tracking followed by upward tilt in Chronicles of Riddick, panning in The Dark Knight, long shots in Twilight part 2, and close ups in 12 Angry Men.
Costumes are an important part of mise-en-scene because they convey a character's personality and status and signify the time period of a film. The Batman costume, which is black, conveys mystery and secrecy as Batman has no superpowers and uses weapons and strength, while Superman's blue and red costume represents trust, honesty, and leadership as he is a symbol of responsibility with superpowers. The colors and protective elements of the costumes effectively communicate the differences between the characters of Batman and Superman.

Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain
Ìý
This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.
