Horror posters
This document outlines Buscombe's theory that genre in film is defined by iconography found in locations, character appearances, tools used, and miscellaneous elements depicted in film posters. Specifically, Buscombe's theory states that analyzing icons related to these four categories can help identify and define a film's genre.
Notes on elements of horror
The document discusses key elements of Gothic horror found in Frankenstein including melodrama, rejection of social norms, and creating a dark, threatening atmosphere. It explores Gothic horror's combination of horror and romance, as well as its focus on the unknown and forbidden. The intended effects of horror are to induce fear in readers by portraying monsters as threatening, impure, and incomplete beings that could potentially harm humans. Metonymy, where something represents something else, is a literary device often used to foreshadow disasters and create a sense of dread.
Perhaps
The poem explores the persona's indecision about communist China and whether attempting change is worthwhile. The first stanza conveys a melancholy tone as the persona questions whether their thoughts will make a difference given censorship. The second stanza contrasts by suggesting hardship may lead to good, and one should focus on others' suffering rather than their own. The last stanza definitively states that despite life's pointlessness, humans have no choice but to live on due to their innate will to exist.
Introduction to wlmm
This document provides an overview of the Windows Live Movie Maker (WLMM) software and its key functions. It discusses how to import footage from cameras or files, offers editing options like cuts, trims, and image adjustments. It also describes how to add soundtracks and titles.

It suggests getting students to export videos to private YouTube uploads to avoid managing many large files.
Photographic composition
This document discusses several photographic composition techniques including vertical/horizontal orientation, subject placement, leading lines, framing, depth of field, filling the frame, backlighting, and camera angles. It asks how many techniques are used in a particular shot.
Storyboarding
This document discusses storyboarding and provides details about its purpose and process. Storyboards are a visual representation of a film laid out in a comic-strip style, including pictures and notes about dialogue, music, camera movements, and more. They help clarify ideas and plan the sequence and order of shots, which saves time during filming and ensures the director is prepared. The document concludes by providing an example storyboard template and task to create a storyboard for one of the sample shots described.
Lovefield
The document discusses film from multiple perspectives: as a work of art involving elements like mise-en-scene, lighting, sound, and editing; as a technical exercise requiring skills like cinematography and sound design; and as an organizational, commercial, cultural, and intellectual entity shaped by studios, marketing, genres, narratives, representation, and audience interpretation as well as contemporary issues.

The document discusses two senior pathway options for film and media: IB Film and BTEC Creative Media. IB Film enhances skills through creativity-focused assessments including an independent study script or research paper, 15-minute presentation on a film extract, and a 7-minute practical film production. Most students achieve high exam results of Level 6 or 7. BTEC Creative Media offers a more practical option through unit-based assessments covering topics like video installation, photography, editing, and marketing. It provides more control over curriculum and attention compared to the broader IB program. Both pathways are accepted by universities and prepare students for careers in growing creative sectors.

The role of art in fulfilling human needs and conveying deeper truths is examined through various quotes and examples.
Natural sciences 2017 18
This document introduces the natural sciences as an area of knowledge. It defines natural sciences as knowledge of observable objects and processes in nature, such as biology and physics, as distinguished from abstract sciences like mathematics. It describes the scientific method as involving observation, hypothesis formation, prediction, and experimental testing to confirm or falsify hypotheses. Personal knowledge and imagination play a role in scientific discovery alongside shared experimentation and observation. Questions are raised about whether scientific knowledge can be considered absolutely true or reliable given its tentative nature and reliance on indirect observation tools.

Mathematics power point 2012 13
Mathematics is the study of patterns and relationships between numbers and shapes. While empirical evidence may be gathered, mathematical knowledge requires rigorous deductive proof based on agreed upon axioms and theorems. However, Gödel's incompleteness theorem showed that the axiomatic foundations of mathematics cannot be proven with absolute certainty from within the system. There is an ongoing debate around whether mathematical truths are discovered or invented by humans. Overall, mathematics relies on both deductive and empirical reasoning but cannot claim absolute certainty due its axiomatic foundations.
Sound and music

Natural sciences 2012 13
The natural sciences involve studying objects and processes observable in nature, such as biology and physics. The scientific method involves making observations, developing hypotheses, making predictions based on hypotheses, and experimentally testing predictions. A key part of the scientific method is that hypotheses can be proven false through experimentation. While scientific knowledge cannot be absolutely proven true, theories that withstand challenges are considered valid within their domain. The development of science involves imagination to develop theories to explain observations. Scientific progress values expanding knowledge, though some argue there should be regulation of controversial areas.
German expressionist film
The document discusses German Expressionist film of the early 20th century. It analyzes key films from this era like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Metropolis, focusing on their expressionist elements including distorted sets, dramatic lighting, and themes of madness and dystopia.
