4. when this super chill senior meets you, she definitely wants to know your sign first if she really likes you, you might be lucky enough to be invited over for her mom’s famous Arabic dessert she only makes it once a month, if she offers some to you, you HAVE to say yes and of course you’re going to love it, but whatever you do, don’t compliment her or her mom, it gives you the evil eye.
8. this junior cant wait to leave school everyday she likes to be in a place where the bathrooms aren’t locked. Shen was inspired in her film and lit class and is considering making a documentary about squirrels and their reaction to Nirvana Unplugged album, she believes they would like it as much as she does. She hired her best friends chip and alex as her crew so they could film because neither of them are loud breathers, that drives her nuts!
9. you might recognize this outgoing senior from the announcements, she is also a gymnast and a part of the colt crew, if not you’ve definitely seen her cheering on her boyfriend Max during the THS football games. She’ll be a super sweetheart to you when you meet her unlesssssss you drive slow in front of her, or she sees a weird aura around you when she reads your cards or you give max a bad haircut or you don’t make a wish on 11:11 or dance in public or if you eat peanut butter in front of her or if you like pecans, or if you don’t like One Direction, but other than that she will definitely like you ;)
11. don’t underestimate this shy senior, she may be quiet but it’s because her elite soccer skills speak for her, she’s already been scouted by a few colleges and she has plans to open a training facility where her athletes can practice as well as get therapy when she graduates, shes getting practice in now as a head THS peer mediator. You wouldn’t think she has road rage, but it only comes out when she’s behind a reallyyyyyy slow driver. Her theory is, if she can run faster that you’re driving, SPEED UP, she runs pretty fast too so be careful when shes on the road!
13. this junior basketball player takes his dog tucker with him to the basketball courts every day in the summer, he likes to play but really, he goes to show off his shoe game. He’s trying to convince Pine Knob to let him take Tucker with him snowboarding in the winter, but they haven’t agreed yet, so he might start that business when he graduates. When he’s done snowboarding he always pics up taco bell and goes to Shea’s house to play xbox with Enno.
14. Claudia 12 after school every day this senior gets in her car, turns on MGK to decompress, she sings all of her favorite songs in Polish because her parents want her to stay fluent, picks up a small FF at Mcdonalds goes home to relax and watch grownups, she feels guilty about it because she knows that McDonalds food isn’t great for her dental health and that it might ruin her future career goals.
16. this senior is so considerate, her and her sister Alexis bake treats with her mom every day and put a little extra protein in each brownie they make for their softball teammates.

17. this sophomore has plans to move to Mexico after high school, become a physician’s assistant and open a coffeehouse on the beach called the Cat Café’, where you can sip coffee, hang with your cat if you don’t have one, she’ll provide one and get professional therapy and some basic medical services on the beach while tanning at the same time, nothing sounds better than coffee cats and vitamin D for your mental health!
19. this outgoing soccer playing sophomore is one of 5 men in his family, that’s including his dad and dog Godzilla, you’d think we’d all feel bad for his mom and their other dog lady being the only girls, but you don’t have to because they are always good to her, it’s one of his best friends! He’s going to miss her when he graduates he’s planning to move to Florida to become a journalist, plus he loves Universal studios so that’s a bonus.
20. this coffee loving junior has an older sister, but don’t ask him about her because they drive each other nuts. He goes home each day, watches Coraline, makes a sandwich and vents to his cat, Loki , about school, it helps him de-stress.
21. this sophomore is an only child, he might play dumb around his friends but that’s because he stays focused on his golf skills, so much so that he got a job at a golf course likes working OHCC because he can get free golf and pizza. He hates having to wear masks but he wishes people would wear them when they are eating because he can’t stand people chewing with their mouth open. He also is making it his mission to let everyone to know that being a hater of Miss Morris’s recipes in foods 2 only hurts yourself in the end, he encourages everyone to try foods like jalapeno poppers even when they THINK they won’t like it, because as he found out the hard way its still the most delicious appetizer he’s every had.

1. this senior always keeps his car clean, not only because he’s a neat freak, but he gets free car washes at his job, he saves up the money he earns from his job to pay for his own place and he also has to afford his Chipotle habit, burrito bowls are not cheap these days. If he doesn’t take his girlfriend Angelina to dinner, he’s fine with just sitting there by himself because he’s usually has his airpods in listening to Flint Rap Music. He also makes cash by selling things online, so be sure to tell him if you’re looking for something special.
2. this spirtual senior lacrosse star is so in tune with vibes and crystals, she wishes she could travel back in time because she could’ve stopped the titanic from sinking, or at least could’ve led more people to safety by by helping the crew to enforce more rules to get people to life boats, she hates it when people don’t listen to directions! meanwhile she would have enjoyed the delicious calamari they served, the ballroom dancing and maybe would’ve even dabbled in playing the piano for the guests. How could she have afforded a ticket on the ship you ask? Her and her mom would’ve invented Starbucks and made millions!

6. you can catch this senior on a lawn mower every summer he likes the money he earns, but he really likes the job because he can work alone, he’s pretty anti-social., He’s considering wearing his landscaping headphones he wears while working to school because he’s annoyed when people talk too loud. When he’s not wrestling for THS he’s working on developing new cyber security for video games, he’s eventually gonna build his business bigger, he’s just starting there now because he doesn’t like seeing people get taken advantage of.
7. Sydni this sophomore is a pro on the gymnastics mats or on the diving board, before her meets she gets hype by listening to Harry Styles and after successful meets she rewards herself with a healthy bowl of fruit it’s her favorite snack and its quiet to eat, she hates loud chewing.
9. this senior and her sister Gabbi are primarily responsible for taking care of their pets at their house, it’s a fulltime job sometimes because they have 3 dogs and 5 cats. They enjoy having all the pets because they have trained them to be backup dancers while they sing karaoke to LIL Uzi.
10. this freshman wrestler and his three older brothers battle daily, not really physically fighting because they all love each other, but by playing assassin’s creed, he likes the time period of Ancient Rome. When he graduates they are going to open up a side business flipping cars he’s good at arguing, he’s going to turn those arguing skills into negotiation skills because he really wants to practice LAW, a study “oxford dictionary” describes as….
12. you can tell this junior’s mantra is to be humble because he seems very quiet at first but you don’t want to see him in the ring it will kill your vibe. Him and his best friend Tyler Durden are thinking of going into Finance or maybe dabbling in real estate later on in life, they just gotta make sure they keep their face free from bruises so no one starts asking questions and they wont scare their clients away
15. this senior brings a watermelon snack to her Japanese Club after school, she wants to show some kind of peace offering to her friends there, for the first 2 years everyone in the club thought she was mean, because she accidentally interrupted them all the time and then wouldn’t say anything at all; in reality, she’s just shy, her cats cookie and casey are the only ones who really understand her.
18. you might be surprised to see this sophomore in school in the morning, she loves to sleep and sometimes misses her alarm, but she has to be here for at least 3 hours in order to Cheer at the THS games so she always makes it to her favorite history class. Her mom makes her a bowl of ramen every day for breakfast because she doesn’t like normal breakfast food like bacon if you see her in the hall and want to say hi, check to see if she has her airpods in first, if so, just keep it movin!

2. An extraordinary --- --- million was spent on marketing (not counting prints!), several times the production cost!
4. As a result of a negative reaction from a --- --- the intended love triangle sub-plot was scrapped and the film re-edited to ensure the protagonist was more sympathetic.
8. --- media (TV, DVD + streaming) accounted for a further $80m in revenues less than a year after theatrical release!
9. --- Dyer’s theory of the star system assumes that marketing (and production) is centred on star image and power, but Yesterday contradicts this with neither of the two lead roles actually getting named billing on the posters – which instead highlight films from the writer and director!
12. The everyman clothing, such as the very cliched checked shirt, of the protagonist used in the main poster campaign helped make him more identifiable (to use the terms from the uses and --- theory) or relatable
15. Unlike almost all Indie productions, Yesterday gained a --- international release, including a near-3000 screen US release. Quite a contrast from the fate of acclaimed Warp productions like Tyrannosaur and This is England!
17. Its very noticeable that the film somewhat swerves the usual WT approach of casting at least one major US star; the lead actor --- --- doesn’t even get billing on any of the many marketing posters! It is his recordings on the OST though!
20. At --- --- million this is a low to medium budget production by US standards, but very few UK productions reach this budget level!
21. With its central use of intertextuality, the main poster, with its use of the iconic zebra crossing shot, can be said to be an example of Baudrillard’s --- concept of the simulacrum.
23. It was intriguing to see the use of the hit film Slumdog Millionaire used – a social realist film that made good by using the feelgood ending and American dream concept, achieving a huge Oscar bounce – and not the director’s name (--- ---) on posters.
24. WT has one particularly important creative collaborator, who wrote Yesterday’s screenplay, but then so does Warp: --- ---, the director of the only Warp film to spark a franchise (albeit the sequels are TV series!) with This is England
26. The film is based on an original screenplay by Barth, though its Curtis who takes the main writing credit. Barth will never see a cent from his --- profit points!!!
28. The OST (--- soundtrack) featured cover versions recorded by the lead actor, and not the originals.
29. The inclusion of stubble on the main image used of the central protagonist connotes that while this may be a four quadrant production and marketing campaign, that does not extend to the --- market, as further denoted by the BBFC 12 rating!
30. Just like Warp’s ---, and WT’s own Baby Driver, the OST of Yesterday was both a significant source of revenue and a smart piece of marketing in itself, and was sold in vinyl as well as release through streaming sites.
31. The main poster centres on intertextualising the Beatles album cover for --- ---.
32. WT aimed high for their music cameo (though very low for music quality!) by originally approaching --- --- before casting the mind behind such horrors as Galway Girl!

Down

1. The movies he’s written and/or directed for WT have grossed over $2bn worldwide. A very commercial filmmaker! He’s been accused of racism for excluding BAME characters – perhaps Yesterday is a sign he’s finally woken up?!
3. Posters used the name of the screenplay writer’s --- ---, a film now associated with Xmas which despite its success didn’t use the usual strategy of having an American A-lister as a co-lead.
4. Film festivals aren’t usually so important to WT productions, but this one got its world premiere at the prestigious --- Film Festival, yet another way in which the market sought to target a wide market – not just young and old, male and female, but also seeking some degree of critical respectability for a (typically!) very commercial film.
5. The planned September release was pushed up to the much more lucrative summer season because the rights to the Beatles songs were about to revert to one of their co-writers, --- ---!
6. The signification of contemporary ‘talent shows’, solo male acoustic acts like Capaldi and Sheeran, and even the central protagonist’s achingly hip footwear on the posters helped give this film a --- element despite the obvious retro elements!
7. By combing rom-com with a touch of sci-fi to generate the dis-equilibrium that the Proppian hero must overcome, the production uses the technique of --- to boost its marketability across both genders.
10. Although the OST came out on a Universal Music Group subsidiary, this doesn’t quite amount to --- integration as NBC-Universal is no longer directly tied to UMG!
11. The body language of the main poster, with the lead striding purposefully, centrally framed and applying the rule of thirds, smartly anchors that he is the protagonist we’ll follow on what Campbell terms the hero’s journey or --- (as he argued this recurs across all cultures and time periods).
13. Yesterday is a typical example of how WT benefit from --- integration, with distribution through their parent company NBCUniversal.
14. The red-topped creator of some of the most popular/abysmal music of recent years, --- --- was heavily featured in the film trailer – making it all the more surprising he’s not highlighted or billed in the theatrical or even digital/streaming (home media) poster designs.
16. Lily James’ character would probably irritate Laura Mulvey – she is literally in the background of the medium two-shot posters she does feature in (most just show the male lead in long shot), v-cut top, red lipstick and open mouth. Even more so than her Baby Driver character, she fulfils the Proppian archetype of the --- or prize!
18. Its likely that many or most teens wouldn’t completely follow the preferred reading for the main poster design, with its Beatles intertextuality, but versions with the 3-part list tagline helped to --- the narrative concept!
19. Although WT have been relegated to a --- --- deal and no longer get automatic distribution through NBCUniversal or its StudioCanal subsidiary (so Baby Driver was released through Sony/Colombia for example), NBCUniversal did pick up this film for global distribution.
22. WT paid out --- million for the rights to use Beatles songs – that’s more than the total budget of any of Warp Films’ productions!!!
25. Usually the preserve of tentpole blockbusters, Yesterday was pushed up from its original --- slot for a summer release.
27. The screenplay writer has been previously criticised for his long-term failure to meaningfully represent --- characters on screen.

33. Born with a playful wink and a dash of irony, my bold hues and exaggerated motifs transformed me into an endearing seasonal staple, embraced by those looking to add humor and warmth to festive gatherings.
34. Twinkling in the dreams of children, I am a confection that belies my name for I am not a fruit but a dragée, but a delicacy layered with sweetness, created to charm the festive palate.
36. Inspired by the laurel crowns of ancient champions, I evolved into a circular emblem that adorns doorways, woven from verdant branches to embody perpetual life, steadfastness, and the enduring promise of hope.
38. An illustrious bloom hailing from sun-drenched regions, I journeyed to colder lands, where my striking crimson bracts—often mistaken for delicate petals—became emblematic of the holiday season’s warmth and vibrancy.
42. Materializing from tales of old and acts of pious kindness, I transformed from a solemn figure in prelate robes to a joyful icon clad in scarlet, embodying the spirit of munificence and festive merriment.
