The document discusses research the creator is doing to understand their target audience for a short film project. It describes holding a focus group where they will ask questions about preferences for genre, tone, and content. It also describes creating an audience questionnaire to collect statistical data on viewing habits and preferences. The responses to the questionnaire indicate the audience has watched short films before and prefers a stylized crime genre. This gives guidance on including some action alongside dialogue-heavy scenes.
The document discusses why the author chose the action genre for their film project. They selected action because it is their favorite genre to watch, which will allow them to draw on their own genre knowledge and preferences. This will help ensure the film includes modern, creative ideas that audiences have responded well to in the past. The author also chose action because it will be fun to make and offers many potential story ideas. Their target audience is those aged 15 and over due to the planned strong language and violence. Research was conducted through audience profiles and surveys to learn viewers' preferences and what elements should be included in the film.
The survey results showed that the target audience for the documentary is primarily male, under the age of 18, enjoys taking photos with their phone, and likes photographing landscapes and sunrises/sunsets. This information indicates the documentary should feature scenic outdoor photography and appeal to a younger male demographic in order to engage the intended viewers.
The document discusses research conducted for a "Choose Your Own Adventure" film project aimed at teenagers ages 16-19. Research shows that teenagers highly engage with YouTube and choose-your-own adventure style videos are popular there. Existing examples like Bandersnatch and A Heist with Markiplier incorporate choice-driven narratives and first-person camera perspectives that the author aims to emulate. A survey found that the target audience prefers films over 3 minutes that highlight different endings and choices, and understand YouTube's choice format. The project will focus on depicting anxiety and/or ADHD.
Audience feedback is important for media products to determine what improvements need to be made and to gather diverse opinions on whether the goal of pleasing audiences was achieved. Possible feedback methods include questionnaires, which provide reliable results but limited responses, and focus groups/interviews, which allow comments during viewing but are more difficult to conduct. For a short film, the filmmaker gathered feedback through a focus group to get opinions and advice. Feedback on a film poster was gathered through individual reviews and helped identify that the calendar background was confusing but colors and outlines made the characters stand out. A film review questionnaire provided feedback that the review followed the given brief, language was clear, and the rating system and consistent design with the poster were effective. Gathering
The document discusses targeting a media product's audience. The target audience is identified as teenagers and young adults aged 16-24 years old, as they typically watch thriller films and have disposable income.

The presenter is pitching a short film project to their client. The 10-15 minute short film will be inspired by British filmmaking and focus on developing one character. It will showcase techniques learned and keep the audience engaged through its thought-provoking plot. The aim is to portray the life of a less fortunate person in Sunderland and showcase the city in a positive light through cinematography. Research on the client and location will help guide the project to suit Sunderland Culture and appeal to the target audience.
Wide shots show a large setting to emphasize scale or loneliness. Tracking shots follow moving subjects from a steady camera angle. Tilt shots reveal tall subjects or introduce characters dramatically. Low angles make subjects seem dominant while high angles imply weakness. Dutch tilts create an unsettling feeling something is amiss through a tilted camera angle. The document concludes with mentioning a video demonstrating these shots.
The document outlines the development of an idea for a short British-style mystery/thriller film focusing on a main character and his world. It takes inspiration from films like Taxi Driver, Lock Stock, and Human Traffic that use realistic settings and grounded characters. The narrative will follow a day in the life of a reserved protagonist and how he develops over the course of the film through changing shots and angles. Filming will take place in a single unchanged setting due to budget constraints and allow for a freer schedule. Other ideas like horror or crime films were rejected due to lack of experience, needed locations/props, and requiring a more talented cast.
My Inspirations as a Media Student.pptxStephen266013
Martin Scorsese and Christopher Nolan have inspired the author as a media student. Scorsese inspires through his portrayal of characters and camera work in classic films like Taxi Driver and Goodfellas. Nolan inspires through imaginative cinematography that pushes limits, like IMAX shots in Interstellar and Dunkirk, and thought-provoking storytelling that makes his films rewatchable. These directors' styles and ability to direct large films inspire the author to create their own media content in a similar vein.
The document provides a detailed analysis of the cinematography techniques used in the short film "Two Cars, One Night". It analyzes how establishing shots, camera placement, lighting, shot types like two-shots and Dutch tilts are used to introduce characters, show the passage of time, build intimacy between strangers and convey emotions like boredom and loneliness. Specific shots like low-angle shots of the characters in their cars and symmetrical wide shots are examined and how they progress the narrative and relationships.
The document analyzes the cinematography and style of the short film "The Grucifixion". It discusses how the film begins with a documentary style using desaturated colors and framing that makes the protagonist feel watched. It then analyzes various scenes that alternate between documentary interviews and more observational footage. It discusses how one scene uses symmetrical framing to represent a split personality and another uses dreamlike coloring and framing to portray a romantic moment that is later revealed to be fantasy. The analysis examines how different shots are used to convey emotion and reveal details about the protagonist's mental state.
Sunderland Culture is holding a media exhibition called Bright Lights across various venues in Sunderland to showcase emerging media talent among young working-age people.

Sunderland Culture promotes the city's cultural assets and activities across these venues.
BBC Three is a television channel and online platform operated by the BBC aimed at young adults aged 16-34. It was originally launched as a TV channel in 2003 but became online-only in 2016 as part of BBC cost-cutting measures. However, in 2021 it was announced that BBC Three would return as both a TV channel and online platform in early 2022. BBC Three airs both original and acquired content from other broadcasters and has a strong social media presence.
The student created a documentary for the BBC on the effects of social media and platform addiction. Researching facts, statistics, and audience demographics helped shape the documentary. Shooting interviews and footage with an iPhone provided consistent quality. Editing in Adobe Premiere Pro brought the documentary together through color balancing, audio filtering, and seamless transitions. Overall, the project was a positive learning experience that will help the student's future video production work.
The document summarizes the post-production process for editing a BBC documentary filmed on an iPhone. Key points:
- Footage was transferred from the iPhone to an SD card and computer for 4K editing in Premiere Pro.
- Premiere Pro was used to cut clips, add transitions, color grade footage, and mix audio effects to improve voiceovers.
- Visual and audio effects were applied throughout to enhance image quality, reduce noise, and make the documentary more engaging and polished.
- Editing techniques like layered shots and segmenting the documentary helped mask mistakes and keep the audience focused.
The document describes the filmmaker's process for shooting their documentary project on an iPhone 14. They faced scheduling issues when shooting interviews that they overcame by filming on campus. Technical issues arose from the iPhone's 4K HDR footage not being fully compatible with Premiere Pro during editing, which was resolved by editing on a more powerful home computer. Shots for the documentary included medium shots for interviews and handheld filming to give it an expository feel. Care was taken with composition, exposure, and microphone placement to improve audio/video quality.
Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.
The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

2. Focus Group
• I have chosen to do a focus group to research thoroughly
into the audience of my project. I think using a focus group
is the most effective way of gathering data for my project
because it is more direct when asking questions in
person, the data is also recorded with audio.
• I am going to ask several questions relating to the project,
the aim is to get a grasp of what the audience wants.
• This is important as the short film that I am going to make
needs to grasp an audience for it to be entertaining.
• The questions that I will ask will be questions such as
asking what the audience wants to see in the short film,
what genre they would like it to be, what tone of film they
prefer and how different tones would make them feel.
5. Audience Questionnaire
• I have also chosen to create a survey to the audience so that I
can gain statistical knowledge on the wants and needs of the
audience.
• The questions on this survey will relate to my film and other
relating films in the industry.
• I will also be asking questions on topics relating to the story of
the short film.
• The information I will be gathering is whether this audience
will enjoy my work or not. It will allow me to change parts of
the short film to adapt to a wider audience.
6. Audience
Questionnaire
• The questions I am asking will be important as I need to get a
grasp on what exactly I need to implement to grasp this
difficult audience. It will start by questioning the audience’s
experience in the short film format.
• Questioning the audience’s experience in the format is
important as it tells me how experimental I can get with it. If
most of the audience is unfamiliar with short films, I will have
to be more straight forward with my film-making.
• An additional question I will ask the audience is what they
would like to see in the film. The answers to this question will
direct the topics and subjects I will explore in the short film.
• As a back-up to the question to fine tune what the film is going
to explore, I will ask if the audience will want a realistic theme
to the film or a more laid-back approach, this is to get a clear
vision on what they want.
9. Audience Questionnaire Response
• From the response to my questionnaire, I can see that the entirety of my audience has indeed
watched a short film before. This is good as it the audience will be familiar with the format that I
am going for. For how often the audience watches short films, it’s a little bit spread, but most of
my audience watches them quite often which is just what I needed for my project as the
audience will be very familiar with what I am going to do.
• The audience wants a stylised short film particularly around crime, this is what I am going to
aim to do with my short film, however, its yet to be decided whether I will specifically include
crime in the script as it is a risky subject especially for this client.
• Not enough action seems to be the focal point of the audience when asked what pushes them
away from short films, I will aim to strike a balance between dialogue heavy scenes and action
heavy scenes.
10. Audience Research
• The audience has an age range of 16-25, so this means
they will have specific needs and wants from my project.
• Stereotypically, this audience will want a fast paced and
action filled film, that quickly grabs their attention and
retains it throughout. This is what I will aim to do.
• The most popular genre throughout this age group tends
to be Action and Drama. With this information, I will aim
to combine the two to grab both sides of this young
audience.
11. Audience Profile
• Psychographics – Explorers, Reformers.
• Demographic – Teenagers.
• Age Range – 16-25.
• Social Grade – D & E
• This is my audience profile, with this data that I have recorded I will be able to make my short
film relatable to this audience. It will also allow me to have a better overall understanding of the
audience and allow me to make a more effective script when it comes to my writing process.
12. Audience Profile
• Due to the demographic being teenagers, who stereotypically think outside of the box, their
psychographic is of the Explorers and Reformers. This psychographic typically leans to
wanting a more thought-provoking film rather than a straightforward and easily understandable
script. They want something that will keep their mind engaged.
• As they are teenagers, their social grade will be quite low due to much of this audience going
through college and university. Teenagers of the age group of my audience typically reside in
the DE social grade range, meaning they are semi-skilled and unemployed with only GCSE
qualifications. This data helps my project as I will create a more relatable project when it
comes to these specific points, such as how it portrays wealth and education.
