Music video risk assesment by shannon orr & skye nelShannonOrr
This document provides a template for conducting a risk assessment for a film production. It lists common hazards encountered during filming such as tripping, weather changes, electrical equipment, drowning, wildlife, and falling trees. For each hazard, the template evaluates the risk level based on which scenes the hazard could occur in, who or what may be harmed, existing risk controls, and the overall risk assessment level according to a provided chart. The risk assessment levels range from low to extreme and determine what further actions need to be taken to improve safety during filming.
The document analyzes photographs by Paul Hurst. It summarizes that the theme across all images is studio photography. It describes each photo's subject as women with various features like tattoos or gym clothes. The composition is described as central subjects looking directly at the camera without zooming. Techniques like similar shutter speeds and lack of rule of thirds are discussed. Strengths include variety of subjects, with photo 4 praised, and no noted weaknesses other than some lighting.
This document summarizes and analyzes the photography work of Nick Pickles. It discusses the themes, compositions, techniques, and strengths/weaknesses of 6 images by Nick Pickles. The main theme across the images is musicians and singers at concerts or festivals. The compositions generally center the subject. Techniques like similar shutter speeds and rule of thirds are used. The photos effectively capture people enjoying themselves, though some could benefit from less zooming in.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
This production diary details Shannon Orr's work shooting multiple scenes for a film. The first and fourth shots required only setting up the camera and had no difficulties. However, the second and third shots proved more challenging, with the second shot requiring several takes to keep the camera still focused on the subject's face, and the third shot coming out blurry due to having to walk with the camera behind the moving subject. The fifth shot also went smoothly after setting up the proper camera distance and zoom level.
The music video script describes scenes that will be filmed for a song called "Visible" by Donnie Lightwood. It involves a male character in the present day investigating clues in the forest that tell a story of a female character from the past. She was being chased and dragged away by a masked figure, leaving behind clues like footprints and dragging marks. The male finds a buried box containing a photo of the female with the masked figure in the background and a note saying she was never to be seen again. The script uses techniques like grayscale, mists, and blurred/out of focus shots to convey a mysterious atmosphere as the male pieces together what happened to the female character in the forest.
Helen Dixon's photographs focus on landscapes in the British Isles, often capturing scenes at sunset which gives her photos a warm feel. Her compositions show landscapes from a distance to include as much of the scene as possible. While her shutter speeds vary for night photos, she does not seem to use techniques like the rule of thirds. The student admires Dixon's ability to draw the eye with lighting in her photos but feels some could be improved by changing from portrait to landscape orientation.

For a school project, the student created an equine magazine using Photoshop and Microsoft Word. In Photoshop, tools like the magic wand and text box were used to design the front cover with the horse photo and title. Microsoft Word was used to write out the double page spread before editing. The student took inspiration from magazines like Horse & Hound and Equus to design the front cover and double page spread. Simple fonts and earth tone colors were selected to complement the horse photo and target an audience of 15-35 year olds from an upper middle class background interested in horses.

- Contractual briefs legally obligate a media company to complete a specific project for a client. Non-completion could result in legal action.
- Formal briefs outline the client's product requirements but may not be legally binding. They provide just enough information for the company to design the product.
- Negotiated briefs allow multiple companies bidding on a project to discuss and potentially modify the client's requirements.
- Competition briefs are given to multiple companies competing for a project, with the client selecting the best submission.
- The document provides an evaluation of a photography student's final major project consisting of landscape, portrait, and equine photos.
- While some photos differed from the original proposal, the student is overall happy with how the project turned out, especially a deer photo.
- Feedback from surveys indicated that most photos were clear, composed, and looked professional, especially landscape and equine photos.

Unfriended is a found footage horror film that follows a group of teens communicating over video chat. The film received mixed reviews, with some praising its unique style but criticizing the teen dialogue. While the beginning was "cringe worthy" with unfunny humor, the film gained a certain charm as it progressed. The characters act like normal teens with personal problems, making them more relatable than the stereotypical characters in classic slashers. The found footage style and computer screen perspective immerse the viewer in the film. Though not without flaws, the acting, style, and dual sensory experience of both sight and sound make Unfriended a worthwhile watch, even if not rewatchable. The reviewer gives it a
Unfriended is a found footage horror film about a group of teens communicating over Skype who are tormented by an unknown person. The film starts with cringe-worthy teen humor and arguments between characters, but over time the characters seem more human as they face real teen problems and ask others for help with the threat. Though the acting and small cast are not top-tier, they seem natural rather than acting. The found footage style through a computer screen makes the viewer feel like they are part of the film. While the plot is not the strongest, the film's style and natural feeling characters make it worth a first watch with an overall rating of 7.5 out of 10.
For their first news story, the author did a voiceover story about a girl who was hit by a car. They researched the incident and recorded a script sharing what happened and how the girl was doing. Their second story was an interview with a friend pretending to be a show organizer about the Cheshire show, promoting it to college students. For their final story, the author did vox pops interviewing various students about how university fees have affected their decision to attend, including those who could and couldn't afford it. Overall, the author felt interviewing people worked well for their target audience but would improve sound quality and reduce background noise in future interviews.
In this unit, the document summarizes three news stories that were completed. The first story was a voicer story about a girl who was hit by a car, which involved researching the incident and recording a script. The second story was also a voicer story about a local show, and involved interviewing a friend who helped with the show. The third and final story involved vox pops, which are interviews with multiple people on a topic, in this case the effect of university fees on students' choices.
Universities in England will be able to charge tuition fees of up to £9,000 per year starting in 2012, which represents almost a threefold increase from current rates and will transfer much of the cost of higher education from the state to students. While the government argues this will provide universities more stability and autonomy, critics say it will negatively impact access to university for lower-income students and place a significant financial burden on students.
Over the past 3 years, university prices in the UK have risen significantly, with tuition fees increasing to £9,000 in 2012 from £6,000, leading to a nearly 50% drop in university attendance. Interviews with students at Eccles sixth form centre found that for most, the increased costs have affected their plans to attend university due to inability to afford the higher fees. Overall, the data shows rising prices are reducing university attendance as many students cannot afford the cost of attendance.
