You Died
by Sam Shaw
(video link)
The narrative for this video was that it was a video about the concept about what happens when you die which then ends up showing that you are just going to be looping the same video forever through rewinds. The overall video was animated and edited to make it look like a old cartoon or advertisement from the maybe the 60's, this also includes a few moments at the start where a few live action photos are shown, along with the resolution of the video as it's not widescreen but looks like to mimic the 4:3 ratio that would've most likely been used back then.
 The type of themes within the video is the concept of the afterlife and the type of genre would be dark humour as it uses slapstick ways to convey the concept of death/the afterlife. The colour in the video are mainly within the greyscale palette as no colour is visible within the video.

BaconHorn
by Oliver Marsden

For this video, a narrator is present to give off a brief plot for the two characters, BaconHorn and Clancy who are training to defeat Reggie the neighborhood bully. The video ends with the two defeating Reggie and then dragging his body off as he's unconscious along with the narrator concluding the video. The video overall has a single setting (which is a field area) and the shots look to be continuous with no breaks in between, props within the video are little as the punching bag seems to be the only prop used throughout.
The timing of dialogue is on time to create a comedic feel to the video on how a character enters in and out along with their interaction with the two main characters on screen. The resolution for the video seems to be the average ratio for a video almost having a cinematic feel to the video. 

Kurent
by Luka Bajt & Sarah Frimann Conradsen
(video link)
The video tells the story of a Slovenian based mythological creature called the Kurent who every year scares the winter away. The overall type of video was made using stop-motion for the Kurent while any other areas like background and other interactions were most likely made using digital software.

A soundtrack is prominent in the background throughout the video with sound effects to add more characteristics to the creature along with a effects to add to the snowstorm. The colours within the video are quite light as the surroundings are based within a snowy/arctic environment and the colouration of the Kurent makes them stand out within the video.

Scare Crow
by Joe Carter & Sean Greer
(video link)
For the video, the narrative is that it follows a photographer as she goes into a yellow field for some photos but the further through the video the more dark it gets when a scare crow appears and starts to move and chase the photographer, ending with a twist where she becomes a scarecrow with the other scarecrow amongst the field.
 The video is shot like a movie and how there are varied shots like pans, zooms and tilts throughout the video and the ratio/resolution of the video are movie inspired, the colours change throughout the video too as once the scarecrow is introduced into the picture, the tone shifts to a dull colour to add to the dark tone of the scene. The setting is shown to be a quiet and empty environment creating some unease even before the tone shifts.

The Nature and Purposes of Research

Primary research "Primary research is research you conduct yourself (or hire someone to do for you.) It involves going directly to a source – usually customers and prospective customers in your target market – to ask questions and gather information." ( https://www.thehartford.com/business-insurance/strategy/market-research/primary-second-research ) The definition of primary research is when any type of research is collected by yourself.  Examples of primary research is surveys, interviews and observations. As the way you have collected the research by yourself rather than someone else (as this would be secondary rather than primary).  An example of the use of primary research in my own work is when the questionnaire was made as I collect the research by myself as getting information from the internet or other sources was not the best to use for the task.  Secondary research "Secondary research involves the summary, collation and/or synthesis of existing research.
