  Case Study - Alita: Battle Angel (2019) When the first trailer of Alita: Battle Angel was released, critics and viewers did not like the design of Alita's eyes. They said that it was too big. They expressed their disappointment and criticisms on social medias like Twitter, YouTube and Facebook. The producers of the films heard the viewers' criticisms and they thought that the eyes was not too small but that it needs to be bigger to make it less weird. The considered making the eyes bigger but then they decided to enlarge Alita's iris instead.

Moral panics are irrational fears that have been spread and exaggerated by the media.  5 stages of Moral Panic Concern - an event sparks social anxiety. Hostility - a subculture is seen as ‘folk devils’ who are looked upon with hostility. Consensus - fear of this subculture becomes the dominant narrative in media and social discussion. Disproportionality - The threat is exaggerated Volatility - A societal change is made                   * A moral panic emerges and disappears suddenly (often when another moral panic takes its place) Case Study - Lightyear (2022) Concern  - The film Lightyear was released in America and there was a same-sex kissing scene in the movie. Hostility  - People were saying that Disney and Pixar were the "Folk Devils" for displaying homosexual scenes on childrens' movies. They also said the LGBTQ+ were bad and a sin.

This post was made by me. We have surveyed 55 students ranging from Grade 10-12 to collect information about their preferences to help us cater our target audiences as effectively as possible. Here are the results of our survey: Summary There is not much of a difference between the amount of Females who consume crime-related media compared to Males. People tend to like older crimes more than modern crimes. They also prefer narrator based storytelling podcasts more than narrative based ones. Majority of people like heavy crimes, and most are ok with gory/graphic content. More than half favors western crime cases and most are more interested in episodic stories rather than a story separated into several episodes. Knowing this information, we decided to make our podcast about old, western crime and it is both narrator and narrative based. We also made it episodic.

  Case Study - The Voice The Voice, founded in 1982, is a British national African-Caribbean newspaper operating in the United Kingdom. The paper is based in London and was published every Thursday until 2019 when it became monthly. It is available in a paper version by subscription and also online. Who is the Audience This newspaper is operating  in the United Kingdom and online and is targeting Black British Adults. How have they been targeted?  Black British adults are targeted by including more news and articles about black people, events and culture. They also do not use black stereotypes on their news. Black people are represented as the majority and white people are represented as the minority in this newspaper. When there is news about white people, it was mostly negative, such as this article ( https://www.voice-online.co.uk/news/2021/10/10/strawberry-slavery/ ) This newspaper subverts post-colonialism, since they do  not represent themselves as the "others" and the

  Post-colonialism is the representation of white, British people in the media after the colonization to make them look superior and stay in power against the others. White, British people are represented as heroic, clean, polite, strong, while the others are represented as exotic and barbaric. Case Study - Bridgerton Bridgerton comforts post-colonialism because the British royalty are dressed very nicely, they talk and act very politely, they live in a mansion and are highly respected by people. However, it also subverts post-colonialism because the royalty in this series consists of a lot of people with color/the "others", instead of only white British people. The main character, Simon Basset, is a black man and he is married to Daphne Basset, a white British woman. The white British people can be seen living together along with the "others"

 This podcast was made by me PODCAST Batman Unburied We listened to this podcast in class. It is a scripted, high-budget podcast with BGM, sound effects and proper audio. This podcast is narrative based and the story is divided into 10 episodes, about 30 minutes each. The sound effects and BGM used makes it more interesting and easier for audiences to imagine and picture the story. Solved Murders: True Crimes Mysteries - The Candy Box Killer This podcast is a scripted, high-budget podcast with BGM, sound effects, a theme song and proper audio. It is a mix of both narrative based and narrator based. Two people are narrating the story and they sometimes act dialogues out as if they are the character in the story. Some cases are episodic (1 crime case per episode) and some crime episodes are divided into 2-3 episodes. The vocabulary they used is not very hard and it was fairly easy to understand the story. At the beginning of the podcast before the story starts, they stated a quick discla

A jump cut is a technique in film editing where a single continuous sequential shot is broken into two parts, with footage being removed in order to render the effect of jumping forward in time. There are five different applications of this technique: Style The first jump cut example is to simply create a stylish presentation. Think of the opening character introductions in Guy Ritchie’s Snatch and how the jump cuts create a rhythm and style that lures us into this darkly comedic yet dangerous criminal underworld. We can also look at Terrence Malick’s films like The Tree of Life, a film presented as more of a memory and/or dream. In this case, we can see how to use jump cuts to create a lyrical or poetic narrative that isn’t beholden to strict and rigid structures. Energy The second jump cut example is used to create energy. Consider Run, Lola, Run and how our main character’s frantic race against time is accelerated by jump cuts. Or what about Mad Max: Fury Road where the action is ad
