Kushal has a difficult conversation with friends about his life and family while at a party. As the friends split up for the night, Kushal begins to see shadowy figures following and lurking near him, which causes him to panic and run home. However, the lurkers turn out to be visions of himself, as one removes its hood to reveal Kushal's own face, telling him it's all in his head.
Website research findings
We learned from our website research that sites must be easy to navigate with prominent search and link bars, include a familiar logo, and use images to break up text and avoid boring audiences. Navigation aids, a clear brand identity, and visual variety are essential to creating a simple, easy-to-understand site that helps audiences quickly find what they need.

The document discusses elements that make for an easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing website, including:
- A link bar at the top for navigation
- A logo in the top left for familiarity
- A search bar in the top right to find information easily
- Images at the bottom to break up text and make the page more visually interesting
- A simple layout that does not overwhelm users with information
The key takeaways are that easy navigation, familiar branding elements, and visually balanced design help create a positive user experience on a website. These elements should be incorporated into the discussed campaign website.
Target audience report
Our target audience is younger people who are more exposed to drugs at parties and clubs. The website was constructed with colors, fonts, and layouts appealing to younger demographics, and uses colloquial language to make the content more relatable. The presentation style is not overly direct to reassure viewers and build trust so the younger, more vulnerable audience will seek help or support the cause.
Media evaluation
The document discusses the media production of Connor Barclay and Damien Johnson. It covers how they used conventions of horror/thriller genres in their poster and radio trailer. It also discusses how they developed conventions through their chase scene and challenged conventions through a lack of dialogue and diegetic sound. The document then covers their use of various media technologies in the research, construction, and evaluation stages of their project. This included using YouTube, Final Cut Express, GarageBand, and other tools. Finally, it summarizes the positive feedback received about the story, editing, soundtrack, and camerawork while also noting feedback about improving lighting in some scenes.

10 shot storyboard
This document analyzes a series of still shots from a film and speculates on possible meanings and interpretations that could be derived from visual elements within the shots. Key details that are discussed include characters' expressions and clothing, the settings and conditions of the locations, and how lighting, backgrounds, and other visual factors might contribute to meanings and moods like isolation, mystery, and creating an eerie or dark tone. Interactions between characters and what is implied but not fully seen are also analyzed for possible significance to the story and genre.
Paranormal
The document discusses techniques used in movie posters to promote horror films, including using text to describe the genre, depicting a man protecting a woman to show vulnerability, and using "home made" footage, shadows, and dark colors to make the content seem realistic and scare the viewer. It also explains how questions about sleeping and the phrase "don't see it alone" aim to make the film seem scary and encourage more ticket sales.
Insidious
The document discusses techniques used in horror film marketing to create positive impressions and generate interest among potential viewers. It notes that advertising that a film was produced by well-regarded horror directors can make viewers more open to it. Additionally, common horror conventions like dark skies, old houses, and obscured or damaged eyes in posters aim to imply scariness and build intrigue before the film is seen. Captions like "it's not the house that's haunted" further this goal by suggesting threats that cannot be escaped.
Treatment
The document outlines a short film project for a media course. It will follow a character named Mark who is alone and afraid after a night out with friends. He is being pursued by an anonymous attacker. The film will use psychological thriller conventions and a dark soundtrack to build suspense and convey Mark's fear. It will be shot on location in a run-down neighborhood to seem relatable to teenage audiences. The project will have a low budget, using limited equipment and a face mask as the only costume. It will be completed within a month with writing, filming, and editing each taking one week.
