Q2
The document discusses representation of social groups in media. It analyzes how a film opening represents teenagers and disability through use of film techniques like mise-en-scene, camera shots, editing and sound. Teenagers are represented positively through a girl applying makeup and dressing in a pink ballerina costume. Disability is represented through the same character portraying a teenager with split personality, shown through disturbing mise-en-scene elements like alcohol, pills and blood that create a contrast to the previous representation of a typical teenager.
Evaluation part 2 final
This document discusses how gender and age are represented in the media product. It notes that common stereotypes show men as strong heroes and women as weak damsels in need of rescue. Similarly, young children are often portrayed as innocent and vulnerable victims. The media product reinforces these stereotypes by featuring a young female character. Her vulnerability is emphasized through visual elements like a high camera angle that makes her look small, and symbolic items like a hair bow that convey her youth and innocence. These representations are intended to generate audience empathy and align with viewer expectations of familiar horror tropes.
Evaluation question 2 (2)
Our thriller features a female protagonist who plays the victim, fitting stereotypical roles that portray women as weak. The other character's gender is ambiguous to create mystery. The park setting was chosen for its familiarity and ability to appeal to wide audiences. Mental illness is portrayed in the villain similarly to other thrillers, to match audience expectations of the genre. The target audience includes teenagers, students, and those who enjoy thrillers.
Side effects movie poster
The poster depicts four characters with severe expressions, looking in different directions, which foreshadows the serious events of the film and creates suspense. Red is the dominant color, symbolizing blood, danger, and love, as represented by the characters' facial emotions. The tagline "one pill can change your life" and separation of the four important characters into different areas of the poster builds mystery around the multiple main characters and importance of their roles in the film.
Media A2 Question 1
The document discusses how the media product "Behind You" uses, develops, and challenges conventions of horror and psychological thriller films. It summarizes that the film uses conventions like filming at night in a forest setting, using makeup to show gore, including both male and female protagonists and antagonists, and features monsters representing the characters' fears. It develops conventions by changing the camera perspective to involve the audience. Lighting was a challenge due to the outdoor night filming location.

Conventions of psychological horror
Contrapuntal sound refers to audio that does not match the visuals, such as playing ominous music at the end of a trailer before a loud sting. Psychological horror conventions include the killer appearing normal without obvious signs identifying them as dangerous. The genre relies on exploring the characters' fears, beliefs, and hidden truths. The audience rarely sees the killer's face, creating mystery and suspense. Disturbed or tormented individuals are common antagonists who seek revenge, often targeting female victims or using children as killers. Settings like large houses, forests, and hospitals are realistic locations that increase fear by allowing audiences to imagine themselves in those situations. Flashbacks are used to show what happened to disturb the killer and explain their mental challenges.

Conventions of Psychological horror.
Psychological horror films focus on audiences' deepest fears and disturbing their sense of reality. They typically take place in ordinary, everyday settings like houses, woods, schools and hospitals to seem realistic and allow audiences to imagine themselves in the story. The killers often appear normal initially but are surprisingly revealed to be dangerous, messing with viewers' minds. While weapons may be present, psychological horror emphasizes the twisted antagonist's manipulation of victims' minds through fear and mind games over physical violence. Contrapuntal sounds are also used to intentionally disorient audiences.
Research into psychological horror
A psychological horror film establishes seemingly normal settings and characters to create an unsettling atmosphere. Characters are often left undefined at first to add mystery. The main character is usually a woman to emphasize vulnerability. Common character types include young adults, the mentally or emotionally unstable, goths, and detectives. Music, sounds of pain and suffering, and a slow, well-paced plot enhance tension and suspense. Low lighting, fast editing during dramatic scenes, and handheld camera shots further unsettle the audience. Common iconography includes haunted houses, symbols of death, masks, screaming victims, and phallic weapons.
Media poster analysis
The document analyzes posters for three short films:
1) "The Eyes of Edward James" focuses on an extreme close-up of a dark figure's face emphasizing their white eye, with red text suggesting murder or death.
2) "Purge" similarly focuses on a girl's close-up showing determination and fear, revealing nothing else about the film. The dull colors reflect her emotions.
3) "Broken" depicts the blurred, duplicated image of a girl suggesting two lives - her perfect life and disturbed dreams catching up to her. Warm colors reflect the beginning but contrast what follows.
Poster analysis 1
This poster promotes the Rob Zombie remake of the horror classic Halloween. It depicts the silhouette of the villain Michael Myers holding a knife and his iconic mask in the center of the poster against a red background. The use of colors like orange, black, white and red are typical for the horror genre and represent themes of good vs. evil. The poster establishes Michael Myers as the dangerous and murderous antagonist through the long shot of his full body holding weapons while also hinting at death through the skull shape of his mask.
Critical 1
The document discusses conventions in feature film openings and how the creator's work adheres to or challenges these conventions. Specifically, it mentions using conventional elements like idents, title cards in a typical order, establishing shots to introduce characters and setting, and ambient sounds and music typical of crime dramas to set mood. It also notes challenging some conventions by having a young, determined male detective rather than an older one typically shown to have personal issues, and by making the victim an older male rather than the usual young female victim.
Film posters
The photograph depicts a mysterious woman smoking while sitting alone in a dark bedroom, standing out against the dim setting. Though not the main character, she plays a significant role in the 1960s-era crime film. A second photograph shows two people sitting together in the desert, facing a logo in the center and holding a gun and baseball bat, leaving viewers wondering about their purpose in the isolated location. Both images appear to be promoting mature-audience entertainment.
Evaluation Question 2- Jack Jones
The document discusses a horror film project. It summarizes that the film follows horror film conventions like having an antagonist (a spiritual demon) stalking the protagonist (the male actor). It aims to achieve originality while maintaining these conventions. It varies from stereotypes by having the male as the victim rather than the female, allowing both genders to relate more. The antagonist is portrayed as an unknown figure to create fear and mystery. It also features a teenage protagonist rather than the typical 20+ female, appealing to teenage audiences.
New film posters horror
This document analyzes the key elements and techniques used in several horror movie posters to effectively promote the films. It discusses how the posters employ ominous taglines, ghostly visual effects, references to true stories and previous scary films, disturbing images, and dark color schemes to hint at the terrifying contents of the movies in a way that intrigues and unsettles viewers. Elements like skeletal teeth, bloody backgrounds, shadowy trees, and a girl in peril are described as conveying a sense of death, violence, and psychological fear that makes audiences want to learn more by watching the films.
Conventions of psychological horror films
Psychological horror films focus more on disturbing the mind than showing graphic violence. They expose common human fears and vulnerabilities in a subtly unsettling way. Settings for these films are typically very normal and familiar places like houses, schools, and hospitals so audiences can relate to the characters' situations. Sounds used don't always match the on-screen action, increasing unease. Weapons in these films are usually supernatural or psychological tricks rather than physical objects, manipulating the mind to inflict fear. Characters who inflict horror often appear ordinary with nothing to obviously identify them as the source of evil until it's revealed.
Mad Men Evaluation
Mad Men Season 1 Episode 1 depicts gender stereotypes of the 1960s through its camerawork and scenes. The first scene in a bar uses shots that highlight the male stereotypes of drinking and smoking as hobbies, and portray women as less valued. Scenes then show the main character Donald Draper as dedicated to his high-profile advertising work. A later scene in a woman's apartment depicts male dominance through low camera angles and Donald's casual treatment of her afterwards. Finally, scenes in an office building include men making sexist remarks and depicting the lack of women in professional environments of the 1960s.
Uses and gratifications theory
Uses and gratifications theory posits that people actively seek out media to fulfill certain needs. Rather than focusing on how media affects people, UGT examines why and how people consume media. It takes an audience-centered approach to understand mass communication and what motivates people's media use. Romantic comedies aim to provide viewers with an idealized view of relationships that allows them to escape reality, while horror films elicit physical and psychological reactions from audiences by confronting fears and testing their courage. Filmmakers can manipulate sounds and music to influence the emotions and tension felt by viewers based on the genre.
Psychological horror characters – in depth
This document provides character summaries for four characters from psychological horror films:
- Detective David Mills from Se7en is described as tough but affected by the crimes he investigates, leaving the audience to wonder who he is tracking.
- Bagul from Sinister is portrayed as a villainous antagonist who consumes children's souls and can travel between realms, making him seem very evil.
- Samara Morgan from The Ring starts as an innocent girl but has a dark backstory involving drowning and adoption that creates sympathy for her character.
- Cole Sear from The Sixth Sense, a 9-year-old boy who sees dead people, creates relatability and sympathy as a child dealing with paranormal experiences.
Conventions of a psychological horror
Psychological horror films aim to scare and unsettle viewers through implying threats and menaces rather than directly showing graphic violence or gore. They create fear and suspense by playing on viewers' imaginations and fears of the unknown. Common conventions of the genre include dark, mysterious settings that feel realistic; unsettling sounds and music; characters that are not what they seem; low-key lighting that hides things in darkness; and weapons that harm the mind as much as the body. Popular psychological horror films like The Sixth Sense, Silence of the Lambs, and Sinister use these techniques to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
Evaluation Question 2
The social groups represented in the film are middle class teenagers who experience high levels of emotional stress, which most teenagers can relate to. The film does not portray gender stereotypes, as the male and female characters are equals rather than following typical dominant/submissive roles. The main character is compared to a character from another film who also attempts suicide, with both wearing dark clothing to reflect their moods, the main difference being their ages.
Insidious Clip Analysis
1) Insidious is a 2011 horror/thriller film that was very profitable, making $59 million worldwide.
2) The film poster features the possessed son Dalton, using lighting and imagery to signify that he is the antagonist.
3) The video clip occurs near the end of the film, showing the protagonist Josh attempting to rescue his son Dalton from the demon. Tension and suspense are built through the lighting, camera angles, unsettling music and inhuman qualities of the demon.
Psychological thriller
The document discusses psychological thrillers and provides examples of conventions in the genre. It analyzes the 2010 film Shutter Island, noting it establishes enigmas, has a complex narrative, uses music to elicit emotion, and focuses on characters relying on mental resources rather than physical strength. The film matches the psychological thriller genre through relating to real life, including death, requiring thought from viewers, and featuring a main character who must use mental abilities.
Mise en-scene in fight club
This document discusses mise-en-scene elements in two scenes from the film Fight Club. For the first scene, it analyzes Marlowe's costume, props, and body language at a cancer support group meeting. For the second scene, it compares the lighting, sets, and lack of props in fight club scenes versus real world scenes to illustrate the contrast between the two environments.
Evaluation 1
Our film titled "Diagnosis" tells the story of a dangerous and contagious disease spreading worldwide. The main character, Mason, is forced into isolation to help resolve the crisis. Scenes in the opening sequence establish Mason as mentally unstable through his abnormal facial expressions and twitchy, anxious behaviors as he works frantically on research about the disease. Close-up shots are used to heighten the physiological thriller elements and convey Mason's deteriorating mental state.

The document evaluates two potential sources for credibility on the topic of responsible marketing to children. The first source is from the Mars company website and discusses their policies around responsibly marketing candy and food brands to children. The second source is a statement from a commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission regarding protecting children from excessive television advertisements. The FCC statement provides more credibility as it is from a regulatory body and discusses congressional obligations to protect children, while the Mars source discusses their own internal policies from the perspective of the company. The FCC source would be considered more credible for research on this topic.

The document discusses how the media product represents social groups through the characters in its opening scene. There is a male and female protagonist that are both teenagers. The female is shown asleep in bed, representing stereotypes that girls are well-behaved and go to bed early, though her bedding has flowers challenging the idea that she is not typically girly. The male is shown holding a knife, suggesting recklessness, and looking in the mirror with distress, challenging stereotypes that boys do not care about appearance. Both characters conform and challenge stereotypes about teenagers - the female could be seen as lazy but also hard-working, the male challenges the stereotype that only females commit suicide but confirms stereotypes that teenagers can be over
Evaluation- Question 2
The document discusses how the media product represents social groups through the characters in the film opening. There is a female protagonist who is asleep in bed, representing feminine stereotypes of being well-behaved. There is also a male antagonist who is holding a knife and looking distressed in the mirror, challenging stereotypes that males don't care about appearance but conforming to ideas of being more reckless. Both teenage characters are presented differently, with the female seen as sensible but also potentially lazy, while the male challenges stereotypes of suicidal individuals usually being female but also represents stereotypes of depressed gothic teenagers.
Evaluation - Question 2
The document discusses how the media product represents social groups through the characters in the film opening. There is a male and female teenager portrayed in different ways. The female protagonist is asleep in bed, representing teenagers as lazy but also possibly hard-working. The male protagonist is shown holding a knife and looking distressed in the mirror, challenging stereotypes of male teenagers as careless and not caring about appearance, but conforming to the stereotype of suicidal teenagers being overemotional. Both characters represent contemporary issues around gender and mental illness in teenagers.
Mental illness in film
This document discusses how several films have portrayed mental illness. Fight Club uses dissociative identity disorder as a plot device rather than seriously depicting the illness. Girl Interrupted realistically shows a woman with borderline personality disorder in a mental institution. A Beautiful Mind tells the true story of a man with schizophrenia in a way that doesn't reveal his illness until halfway through the film. What's Eating Gilbert Grape? sympathetically shows a family dealing with autism. American Psycho is criticized for giving a disturbing and misleading representation of schizophrenia by portraying the character as a psychopathic murderer.
127 hours film genre assessment
This document provides an analysis of the 2010 film "127 Hours" and the drama genre. It identifies that "127 Hours" is a drama film based on a true story about a hiker who gets trapped under a boulder. The purpose of drama films is to exaggerate real-life situations and provoke emotions. Common drama conventions shown in the film include realistic characters and settings, portraying the main character's development, and implying a happy ending through his determination to survive. The document also examines representations and stereotypes in the film's trailer.
Evaluation activity 2 a2
The document discusses the effectiveness of ancillary tasks created to promote a short film for a course assignment. The tasks were a poster and film review. Both were designed to attract the target audience and relate to the film's genre of drama through their use of color schemes, fonts, images and language that explored themes from the film like vulnerability and irresponsibility.
Let The Right One In
1) Let The Right One In is a horror film with elements of romance that subverts some genre conventions by not having the evil creature defeated and even having it help the protagonist.
2) The film uses editing techniques like blank screens, snow falling, and toggling between characters to build tension and develop empathy for the characters. Faster cuts are used during tense scenes while slower cuts show graphic actions.
3) The target audience of the film is broader than a typical Western horror audience by being Swedish and having a more subtle horror and a romance subplot to appeal to more than just those seeking to be revolted.
Question 1 (1)
The genre of the film is melodrama. Melodramas typically tell sad stories about heriones overcoming hard times using music to elicit empathy. The film features a young single mother raising her daughter after her husband was killed, which follows melodrama conventions. While it uses typical melodramatic music and a conventional plot, it challenges conventions by not showing tears or having an evil provocateur, and the heroine overcomes her tragedy alone rather than finding new love. Overall, the film adheres to most melodrama conventions with some rejections of expectations.
Evaluation Question One Part Four
The document discusses how the short film modernizes typical narrative and character structures from Propp's and Todorov's theories. Specifically, it features a male protagonist who falls into the typical "Princess" or "Victim" character type despite being male. The female protagonist saves him and takes on the role of the "Hero," which is non-traditional but becoming more common in modern films. The film follows Todorov's narrative structure of equilibrium, disequilibrium, recognition, resolution, and new equilibrium, with some changes due to the use of flashbacks told from the female protagonist's perspective.
Ccr1
Our psychological thriller film "Solitude" tells the story of a man who was abused as a child by his mother and eventually killed her. He is now in a psychiatric hospital undergoing rehabilitation therapy with his psychologist. The film challenges conventions by portraying the mother as the abusive parent rather than a nurturing figure. It also presents an unconventional view of the protagonist as a mentally fragile man rather than a physically tough one. Through its use of lighting, makeup, props, camerawork, editing and sound design, the film aims to convey realism, tension and a message about overcoming childhood trauma.
Question 2 improvment
The document analyzes how social groups are represented in the film opening of a media product:
1) The protagonist is a young female girl, representing females in a stronger role than the typical "damsel in distress" but still presented as weaker than the male character.
2) The male character is presented as threatening and mysterious to build tension, reinforcing stereotypes of males being more intimidating through his dark clothing and concealed face.
3) While only two characters are shown, their contrasting representations of the battling male dominating over the weaker female may not be a realistic portrayal of society but reflects some audience ideas about gender roles.
Skin’
The short film is about a young girl battling skin cancer. Through flashbacks, it shows her life before getting ill compared to her current state as she is dying. The opening voiceover describes a dream she had. Nature symbols like flowers and leaves are used to represent her longing for freedom from the illness and painful chemotherapy. The camera work and music aim to convey her emotions and isolation and how cancer has taken over her life. It gives insight into a cancer patient's perspective and feelings towards society.
Question 1b
The document discusses how the filmmaker's student film title "Mollie" and use of props like sympathy cards and teddy bears conform to drama film conventions by building suspense without revealing crucial details upfront. Close-up shots of characters' emotional reactions and a setting in a lived-in family home make the story realistic and relatable. Emotional background music further develops tension and emotion in key scenes, mirroring techniques used in drama films like Gone Girl and My Sister's Keeper. Overall, the film follows the typical three-stage structure of equilibrium, disruption, and new equilibrium outlined in Todorov's theory for drama genres, challenging conventions by beginning in the disruption stage rather than showing the initial equilibrium.
Evaluation question 2
The document discusses how social groups are represented in horror and thriller films. It notes that teenagers are often portrayed as naive victims and there is usually an antagonist and protagonist. Males are conventionally shown as antagonists to portray dominance, while females are typically presented as vulnerable victims. However, the film discussed in the document challenges some of these stereotypes by having a female protagonist and not overly sexualizing the female characters. The document also examines how the film represents class, age, and uses lighting to further characterize the social groups.
question 1
The document discusses how the film "RED" uses and develops conventions of the thriller genre. Some key points:
1) Low-key lighting was used to build suspense, especially in revealing a husband's infidelity, developing on its common use in thrillers.
2) Costume choices like the protagonist's red dress challenged conventions to convey her internal conflict and the crime of passion.
3) Editing pace increased over time to engage the audience and build suspense, developing a convention of consistent pacing.
4) Shots like close-ups of emotions followed thriller conventions to clearly show the protagonist's internal state.
Analyse the short film final
The short film "Smashed" analyzes the night out of four friends who drink to forget their problems, but end up facing worse consequences. The film is set in a run-down urban city, shown through shots of flats, sidewalks, and stores selling alcohol. The characters are portrayed as immature young adults who use alcohol to cope. Important props like an egg, a paper bag, and alcohol itself are used to signify problems the characters face. Camera shots and lighting are used to convey emotion, while music changes match the rising and falling tension. The film's overall message is that alcohol does not actually solve problems and often makes them worse.
Evaluation question two
The document discusses how women are typically portrayed in horror and thriller movies as vulnerable and weak characters who require male assistance. However, the film opening described seeks to represent women differently by depicting the main female character as independent and strong. The opening focuses solely on the grieving yet vengeful main character and her daughter without any male characters, allowing the audience to get to know the strong female protagonist without stereotypical dependence on men.
Evaluation Question Three
This document discusses how the media product challenges conventions of real drama films. It focuses on a film about a mother coping with the loss of her child. While some elements conform to conventions, like using the home as a setting, others challenge them. The film does not include dialogue or multiple characters. It also uses atypical settings like an abandoned mental hospital. Sound uses non-diegetic elements rather than just dialogue. Costumes conform to stereotypes of mothers but props emphasize loss rather than typical household items. Overall, the film both follows and breaks drama genre conventions to portray an unconventional topic.
Split trailer
This document provides an analysis of the movie trailer for Split (2017). It discusses various shots and techniques used in the trailer to build tension and mystery. These include close-ups of characters' faces to show emotion, dolly shots that jump between areas to seem creepy, low lighting to make scenes more sinister, and music paired with scenes to create parallel sound and heighten tension. The analysis suggests these techniques are effective for trailers and could be incorporated into the filmmakers' own trailer.
Question 2 done
The document discusses representation of social groups in media. It notes that stereotypical roles in social groups include the mean, pretty leader for girls and the powerful, controlling man for guys. However, the film opening features some countertypes, including a female detective who works alone rather than in a team as is typical. It also features a Muslim female forensic expert, rather than the usual male forensic. While the dead girl in the opening reinforces the stereotype of vulnerable females, overall the film aims to represent different social groups through countertypical characters.
