Narrative
Todorov's narrative theory states that stories follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption, then restoration of order. This structure fits the thriller genre, where normal life is disrupted by an event like a killing. The film then shows the protagonist working to resolve the problem until social norms are restored. The document discusses applying this theory to structure a film trailer about a girl who goes from normal to killer. It also references Propp's and Levi-Strauss' theories about character functions and binary opposites to further inform the trailer's development.

1) The film presents two main social groups: a mentally ill young girl named Emily who suffers from PTSD after witnessing her parents' death, and a mysterious stalker dressed in black who is responsible for killing Emily's parents.
2) Emily struggles with PTSD, having nightmares and obsessively researching her parents' death. She is inspired by the character Charlie from The Perks of Being a Wallflower, who also suffers PTSD from trauma.
3) The stalker is dressed all in black to emphasize her villainous role, in contrast to Emily's white clothes representing purity. She is inspired by the female stalker in Fatal Attraction and is shown only through black boots, similar to the character of

The film presents two main social groups: a mentally ill young girl named Emily who suffers from PTSD due to the traumatic death of her parents, and a mysterious stalker dressed in black who killed Emily's parents. Emily is shown to have nightmares, obsess over news articles about her parents' death, and visit the church where they died. The character of Emily was inspired by a character with PTSD in the film "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." The stalker's identity is kept hidden similarly to the character of Bill in "Kill Bill" and they are dressed in black to emphasize their villainous role.
Ideas
A man returns home covered in blood and dragging a weapon. He scrubs his hands and clothes but cannot get the blood off. He burns his clothes in a panic. Throughout the film there are flashbacks showing him killing a woman and dragging her body through the woods to bury her. The film follows this man as he acts normally the next day while flashbacks reveal he killed a female relative.
Ideas
A man returns home covered in blood and dragging a weapon. He washes up but cannot get the blood off, so burns his clothes in a panic. Throughout the film there are flashbacks showing him killing and burying a girl in the woods. The finalized idea is a psychological horror film where a man pretends nothing happened after murdering a female relative at home. While he acts normal, the audience sees news reports of the crime. Fake blood is used to emphasize the brutality, and flashbacks show the victim and murderer doing ordinary things together in the house. The film aims to induce fear and guilt using the murderer's unstable emotional state rather than showing graphic violence.
Characters
The document discusses the use of characters in a product to attract a target audience. The characters used are similar in age to the intended audience and include both male and female characters to address both genders. An anti-stereotype is used by making the lead antagonist a female, which is uncommon in thrillers where males usually play stronger, more violent roles. Having a female as the main antagonist helps attract women to the product by going against typical stereotypes.
Q2 evaluation
The document discusses the portrayal of teenagers, gender roles, and stereotypes in films. It notes that the film aims to break stereotypes of naive and immature teenagers by showing them as an aggressive group that adapts to survive. While the main character is male, as is typical in action thrillers, his fear is emphasized through sound effects rather than a "macho facade." The female character subverts expectations by being a sniper rather than a love interest, but her role could also be seen as portraying females in a negative light as violent.
Carrie
This document discusses the theory of "the monstrous feminine" as portrayed in the film Carrie. All of the villains in the film are women who portray natural female functions as monstrous. This is shown through Carrie being bullied for getting her first period and being teased with tampons and pads. The film also shows menstrual blood and pig's blood running down Carrie's body in moments of horror, representing the idea that women, like pigs, are seen as dirty animals.

Movie critic
The document summarizes the author's reactions to two movies: P.S. I Love You and Eat Pray Love. For P.S. I Love You, the author was intrigued by the plot but disappointed by the ending, though upon a second viewing did feel emotional. For Eat Pray Love, the author was surprised by the high level of crying among both male and female characters and found it an odd choice for a movie starring Julia Roberts, expecting a more lighthearted romantic comedy instead of a "weeping movie." The author questions what such movies reveal about the mindsets of Western audiences and expresses a desire to read the books to gain more context.
Character representations
The document discusses representations of gender in disaster films. It notes that male characters are often portrayed as stronger, more intelligent leaders who sacrifice themselves heroically. Female characters are sometimes sexualized but can also be depicted as normal characters. It also discusses how the "male gaze" can objectify women on screen and how characters like Joel from The Last of Us and Eli from The Book of Eli follow conventions of gritty, troubled male protagonists in disaster films through their appearance and role as survivors who protect others and sustain injuries.
Evaluation question2
The document discusses the main female character Raven in the opening sequence. Compared to typical thriller female characters who are damsels in distress, Raven defies stereotypes by being able to protect herself. While she shows some fear, a conventional female trait, she channels it into strength. Raven is also dressed in atypical "delinquent clothes" rather than the usual white worn by pure female characters. She challenges theories that women only exist for male amusement by not dressing in a sexually appealing way but to portray female strength. Overall Raven subverts expectations of weak, scared females needing rescue by being able to defend herself.
Media cw question 1
The document summarizes the narrative structure and key events in the opening two minutes of a student horror film. It establishes the equilibrium of normal college life, the disequilibrium caused by a bully targeting the main character Kai, and leaves the resolution unknown to engage the audience. It also introduces the main characters of Kai, the loner seeking revenge against his bully Taylor, and establishes the college setting and conventions used to create tension and isolation.
Q1
Question one-
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Representation
Emily Wilson, the main character in the opening sequence, is represented in a stereotypical way as a vulnerable female seeking help, which follows conventions of thriller films depicting women as weak and in danger. The antagonists pursuing Emily are a countertype as a mixed ethnicity group rather than only white. They are portrayed stereotypically as brave, fearless, masked, and carrying weapons to appear threatening, aligning with typical antagonist traits in thrillers.
Theory
This document summarizes several narrative theories that could be applied to a film opening. It discusses Claude Levi-Strauss's concept of binary oppositions between terms like good-bad. It also outlines Vladimir Propp's 8 character archetypes that often appear in stories. Additionally, it covers Tzvetan Todorov's theory of equilibrium, disequilibrium, and new equilibrium. Barthes' hermeneutic and proairetic codes are mentioned as ways to build tension. The document concludes that elements from Levi-Strauss, Propp, and Todorov could be blended to structure a film opening showing the initial equilibrium disrupted by some event.
Representation
Emily Wilson, the main character in the opening sequence, is represented in stereotypical ways as a vulnerable female seeking help, which follows conventions of thriller films depicting women as weak and in danger. The antagonists pursuing Emily are a mixed ethnicity group, providing a counterpoint to the usual portrayal of all-white antagonists, and are stereotypically brave, fearless, masked, and carrying weapons, aligning with typical thriller film conventions of threatening antagonists.
Horror representation
The document discusses character representation in horror films. It notes that typical characters include a vulnerable female victim, a male killer, and a heroic character, usually female. The first victim is often an attractive blonde woman who fits the "dumb blonde" stereotype. They may have committed a sinful act to justify being targeted by the killer. The hero is usually male to fit stereotypes of masculinity. Police characters are often portrayed as disbelieving victims. Examples from the film Scream are provided to illustrate the blonde female victim and the killer's masked identity. For the author's own film, a young female victim will be blonde and the killer's identity will be hidden through a black screen. Victim characters are nicely made
Saw VI analysis
The document analyzes the opening scene of Saw VI through its use of lighting, camera shots, sound, editing techniques, and character portrayals. Low key lighting is used to give the woman a sinister and worried expression, showing her as vulnerable. An establishing shot reveals props associated with murder and two characters trapped in cages with low lighting. Extreme close-ups show nails being screwed into their heads as the characters scream in pain. The scene contrasts male and female stereotypes through the characters' actions and dialogue.
Narrative Theory
The document discusses several narrative theories:
- Todorov's narrative theory describes a cycle of equilibrium being disrupted, disequilibrium, and attempts to restore equilibrium.
- Propp's theory identifies character roles like hero, villain, and princess that drive the narrative.
- Levi-Strauss analyzed binary oppositions like good/bad, male/female that are present in many narratives.
- Barthes believed narratives could be open to multiple interpretations or closed with a single meaning.
Genre research
The document discusses themes related to crime films. It notes that crime films often introduce the main character committing a crime to establish the genre. Crime films also typically feature chases, which are also common in action films. Traditional crime films usually depict chases involving policemen.
Media
The document discusses the thriller genre and its conventions. Thrillers aim to keep audiences on the edge of their seats by putting the protagonist against a problem like an escape, mission, or mystery. They build tension throughout by emphasizing the danger faced, leading to a highly stressful climax. Common thriller subgenres include action-adventure, crime, and religious thrillers. Conventions of thrillers include low-key lighting, quick cuts, shadows, tension music, and shots that put the protagonist at the mercy of the antagonist. Maze Runner: Scorch Trials is described as a hybrid thriller, action, and dystopian fantasy film that employs many of these conventions through its protagonist facing opponents in foggy, dark lighting
Elderly
This document analyzes and summarizes a video clip that depicts elderly characters in different ways that either conform to or contradict stereotypes. It shows one elderly character, House, as weak and needing to rely on younger inmates for protection. However, another elderly character is depicted as strong, powerful, and able to command fear and respect from others. Younger characters are either intimidated or protective of the elderly characters, depending on whether they are shown as powerful or powerless. The clip suggests that age does not necessarily determine one's strength or influence.
Supernatural horror conventions
- The main character is often the one who is possessed, becoming the antagonist as in The Amityville Horror and The Conjuring. Religious characters sometimes try to perform exorcisms to remove the evil possession.
- The stories typically take place in isolated, abandoned houses with dark histories like sites of murders. The truth about what happened is often only revealed midway through to build suspense, as in Mama.
- Common visual conventions include the use of dark, eerie colors like reds, blacks, and whites to create an unsettling atmosphere and identify the supernatural genre. Posters for films like Sinister effectively employ colors to build suspense.

question 2 : How does your media product represent particular social groups?
- The protagonist in the film subverts typical representations of females in horror by portraying a strong, sporty teenage girl rather than the usual weak and feminine targets.
- The character also represents black women from London, differing from the typical American setting and characters.
- While challenging some conventions, the protagonist also fits others like being a teenager and ending up isolated with the killer, to still engage the target audience.
- The antagonist resembles typical horror villains through his masked appearance and determination to kill, but is also portrayed as a troubled teenage boy to provide psychological motivation for his actions.
Film poster analysis
The film poster contains key information such as the film title, release date, studio, director, tagline, and main image. It uses conventions like binary oppositions between good and evil, and clues about the plot like torture themes. The main image often features a hidden or distorted villain to generate mystery and fear. Character types and lighting/color schemes provide additional context about the narrative.
Question two
Katie Jackson and Michael Shelton are portrayed as stereotypical characters for the thriller genre through their use of stereotypes, costumes, makeup, and props. Katie, the female protagonist, is portrayed as vulnerable and weak through her blonde hair, minimal makeup, and use of a dog prop. Michael, the male antagonist, is portrayed as mysterious and strange through his use of a hat and dark clothing. Overall, the characters conform to stereotypes about gender roles expected in the thriller genre.
Still image analysis
The document analyzes still images from a movie trailer that are commonly used in horror genre trailers. It discusses 5 images: 1) The main character in distress indicates the antagonist is causing problems. 2) A house setting suggests the events will happen there and wealthy owners are often targeted. 3) A shadow represents danger from an unseen ghost or person to scare viewers. 4) A mother and child holding each other suggests they need each other to survive but also makes them targets. 5) An antagonist behind a man is used to frighten viewers and show what the antagonist looks like. The images follow horror film conventions to set up fear, danger, victims and frighten the audience.
Question 2
The document profiles the characters of a killer and victim for a horror film. The killer is described as a male in his early 20s wearing a black hoodie and mask, planning his murders like those in Scream and Se7en. The victim is a female teenager following horror conventions, going about her daily life with no obvious reason to be targeted like victims in Scream and Final Destination.
Analysis Of Still Images In Horror Films
This still image shows two characters in a dark, isolated setting engaging in an exorcism. The character on the left is clearly in distress, shown through his rolled back eyes and red marks - visual cues that signify possession which is conventional in horror films. He is the primary subject of focus. The character trying to help on the right is less emphasized through placement and brighter clothing, establishing him as the protagonist providing aid. Elements like the dark lighting, isolated area, and signs of torture and possession seen in the possessed character come together to set an unsettling, suspenseful scene typical of the horror genre.
Introduction To Horror Sub-Genres
This document discusses various sub-genres of horror films. It outlines the key conventions and examples of supernatural, slasher, and psychological horror sub-genres. In supernatural films, evil spirits and possessions are common threats. Slasher films feature psychopathic killers targeting teenagers. Psychological horrors aim to undermine the audience's trust through twisted characters and plot twists. Key conventions include isolated settings, signature weapons, final girls, and graphic depictions of violence.
Task 2
The document discusses genre conventions for horror films and which conventions the author wants to follow for their film trailer. It lists conventions like weapons, death, evil characters, darkness, and chase sequences. The conventions in red are the ones the author especially wants to use. It provides examples of existing films that exemplify each convention and explains why the author wants to incorporate those elements. The author also discusses how they want to challenge some conventions like having an innocent main character or only following the male gaze. The conclusion is that following genre conventions will help audiences recognize it as a horror and make the film more successful.
Evaluation question 2
Our film represents social groups in a way that is conventional for the psychological thriller genre. There is a male killer antagonist and detectives trying to catch him, following the patterns seen in films like "Silence of the Lambs" and "Gone Girl". Teenagers of both sexes are killed off one by one, as often happens in horror and thriller films. The antagonist dresses all in black with a white shirt, representing death and darkness as villains traditionally do in films, while the posh white shirt suggests he is intelligent and calculating. A knife rather than a gun is used as the weapon to support the stereotype of horror killers and appear more menacing.
Trailer Overview
This document provides a detailed analysis of the codes and conventions presented in the trailers for 6 horror films from different subgenres. It summarizes the key elements in the trailers for slasher films Scream and Saw, supernatural films The Possession and Insidious, and other subgenre films The Shining and It. Common conventions like settings, characters, sounds, and narrative introductions are discussed for each trailer pair. Unique elements are also analyzed, such as the lack of a visible villain in Scream and thought-provoking quotes in Saw.

post 2
The author believes their main film product is more effective than the ancillary texts they created, like a poster and magazine cover, since they spent more time on the film and had previous experience with video editing software. While the ancillary texts help show the main character and genre of horror or thriller, the author admits to not spending much time on them due to time constraints from filming their main product. However, the combination of the main product and ancillary texts is still effective because they feature the same main actress in the same costume and covered in blood, hinting at the genre and intriguing viewers with questions about the story. Both pieces are meant to attract a wide audience.
Evaluation: How did you use media technologies in the construction and resear...
In the construction and research stage, the author used various media technologies like a Mac, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, camera, and iMovie to research topics online, take notes, present information, record audience research videos, and edit videos. In the planning stage, they created a mood board and company logo by looking at online examples, and used the internet and other media to plan a film poster and magazine cover. In the evaluation stage, the author used Publisher to create a magazine cover and poster from their initial drawings, and finalized the video in iMovie.
Evaluation: What have you learned from your audience feedback?
The document summarizes feedback received from an audience about their horror film preferences. The audience preferred mystery, pure horror, and chase scenes set in haunted houses rather than wooded areas. The film trailer incorporated these elements through its haunted house setting, mystery plot, scary chase scenes, and jump scares. In addressing the audience feedback, the filmmakers learned more about the horror genre and were able to develop their ideas to better match audience expectations for the genre.
Audience Research
This document is a survey asking for basic demographic information from respondents, specifically asking what age range they fall into and what genre of entertainment they generally prefer. It collects only two pieces of information to understand the audience demographic and interests.
Soundtrack Research
This is a presentation on soundtracks and what they represent and how they link to the actual media product
Genre Research
This document discusses common elements of the horror genre including top horror films, stereotypical characters like the hero, villain, and skeptic, typical settings like abandoned buildings, common narrative themes around lawbreakers and revenge, props used like knives and fake blood, and questions that create mystery like who the killer is. It also notes how the author's upcoming film will subvert some conventions by having female leads in roles that are usually male.
Audience Research
This document is a survey asking for basic demographic information from respondents, specifically asking what age range they fall into and what genre of entertainment they prefer. It collects only two pieces of information to understand the audience demographic and interests.
Audience Research
The document is a survey that asked respondents their age range, gender, and preferred genre of entertainment. Most respondents were between 21-30 years old, more identified as male than female, and the most popular genres were sci-fi, action, and comedy.
16 Costumes
The document provides details on the characters, plot, settings, and filmmaking elements for a horror film project. There are four main characters - Zara the quiet camera woman, CeCe who is protective of her spiritual friend Freya, and Darcey who is possessed by a spirit. The plot involves Darcey killing her friends who try to help remove the spirit. Settings include both indoor and outdoor locations at night to add fear and mystery. Cinematography and editing techniques like close-ups, long shots, and non-linear cutting will be used to build suspense. Darkness, sounds, and a tense soundtrack are emphasized to scare the audience through uncertainty of what may happen.
15 Locations
The filmmakers chose to film in a house and backyard to make the film more frightening by having scary events occur in places where the characters feel most safe and vulnerable. Filming indoors adds fear as characters are behind closed doors where danger is not expected, while the dark backyard with only backlighting increases tension as the audience cannot see what is happening but can only hear it, fearing the unknown. Being outside also makes the characters more vulnerable as they are exposed and have no protection if threatened.
14 Props
Props such as rope, children's toys, and bricks will be used in an upcoming film trailer to scare the audience. Rope will be used to tie up a possessed victim to prevent further deaths. Children's toys that move without being touched, or spell out threatening messages with bricks, can create an unsettling and creepy atmosphere as the audience wonders what unseen force is at work. Props are important for establishing the mood and advancing the plot in horror films.
08 Soundtrack Research
The document discusses the music used in the trailers for two horror films, Annabelle and The Devil Inside. For both films, an orchestra was used to create dramatic and frightening soundtracks. The music suits the footage well by matching increases in pace and volume to scary or intense parts of the trailers. This helps build suspense and scare the audience. Specific techniques like using violins during a character hurting herself are mentioned. The music is described as representing fear and creating scary atmospheres for both films. It gives audiences a frightening impression and enhances the trailers' effects.
13 Casting
The document provides casting suggestions for the main characters in a horror film:
Darcey, CeCe, Zara, and Freya. For Darcey, the antagonist who becomes possessed by an evil spirit, Kathryn Newton is suggested due to her similar role in Paranormal Activity 4. Maika Monroe is proposed to play the innocent and caring CeCe based on her role in It Follows. Heather Donahue could portray the behind-the-scenes character Zara due to her role in The Blair Witch Project. Finally, Olivia Cooke is recommended for the spiritual character Freya who senses something is wrong, relating to her role in Ouija.

Heather Donahue could portray the camera-operator Zara, similarly to her role in The Blair Witch Project. Finally, Olivia Cooke is recommended for the spiritual Freya who senses the evil spirit, matching her character in Ouija.
011 Initial Ideas Official
Darcey, a teenage girl, is possessed by a spirit. Her sister CeCe asks others to help get rid of the spirit, but Darcey realizes what they are trying to do and kills them one by one. The film will be set at night in different houses and gardens to add thrills through limited visibility and ambient sounds. It will include conventions of hatred, fear, death, sacrifice, and violence to tell a haunting story of revenge and possession.
06 certificate ratings
The document discusses the different film rating classifications used by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) in the UK. It provides details on the content guidelines and examples of films that may typically receive ratings of U, PG, 12A, 12, 15, and 18. The highest R rating is also mentioned as being legally restricted to only adults and specifically for pornographic films containing explicit sexual content.
05 genre research offical one
Horror films aim to elicit intense feelings of fear, shock, or disgust in viewers. The genre has evolved over time, with improvements in special effects and graphics making violence and gore appear increasingly realistic. Common elements of horror narratives include protagonists facing threats in isolated settings, strange events occurring, and antagonists ultimately harming the protagonists with iconic props like knives and guns. While the earliest horror films from the late 19th century featured brief supernatural scenes, the genre has since expanded to include psychological thriller and slasher elements focused on possessed characters and serial killers.
05 genre research
This document provides guidance for students to research a media genre for a school assignment. It instructs students to:
1. Identify elements of their chosen genre such as typical characters, settings, themes and symbols through a PowerPoint presentation exploring the genre's history and how it has changed over time.
2. Examine how their genre has developed and been influenced by trends, and interpret the effects of these changes on audiences.
3. Present their genre research covering main films, characters, settings, themes, icons, codes, history and ideology to help plan their own film trailer reflecting their understanding of the genre.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

12 Genre Mood Board
- 2. Genre mood board • This genre mood board shows all the conventions out of a horror film, for example: deaths to show this I have put a photo of the character ‘death’ being a skeleton in a cloche looking scary and dark, there is always death/s in a horror film, this is what mainly makes it scary, a character can get killed off at any time. Another example would be the ‘victim’ there is always a victim in horrors, the victim could be a person who is going to die during the film or could be the person who is being ‘followed’ or ‘haunted’ but the killer/antagonist. I used the word ‘Anti-Christ’ because horrors are about the devil who is seen as the opposite to Crist because he is so evil. The evil used in horror films are seen as work from the devil and in films about possession there is always a priest who is trying to end the bad spirit back to help. I used the word ‘worship’ for similar reasons but also there are people in some horror films who worship the devil not only that it links into Christianity also because the priest would worship god and asked him to take away the bad spirits to cure the person of the evil inside them. ‘innocent’ is another word I used because there is always an innocent that has died, also innocent can link into the word pure,
