For the second film, it describes a POV murder shot that zooms out to reveal a child as the killer. For Dawn of the Dead, it discusses a normal family going to bed followed by a wide shot of chaos on the streets the next day to establish the zombie apocalypse.
Media films screenshot analysis
The document summarizes the opening shots of three horror films. In Scream, a wide shot establishes the house and foreshadows a young girl's death by hanging on a rope swing. A POV shot then reveals a murder taking place and zooming out shows the murderer is a child. Dawn of the Dead starts with a normal family but the next morning a wide shot shows the extent of a zombie outbreak across the US through destroyed cars and people being chased.
Saw 4 opening scene analyses
The document provides an analysis of the opening scene of Saw IV. It begins by giving background on the film and noting that it follows the series' tradition of an October/Halloween release. It then analyzes specific aspects of how the opening scene was constructed through camera work, mise-en-scene, editing, and sound. These include close-up shots of a beetle and a woman in distress with a mechanical device on her head, as well as title sequences that transition between shots using dissolves to set the tone as a horror film.
Camera movements
Camera techniques like tracking shots, steady cam shots, zoom shots, crane shots, pan shots, and trombone shots are used to follow action in a smooth or dramatic way. Sound can be diegetic, originating from the scene, or non-diegetic, added later in production. Musical techniques like crescendo build tension, diminuendo releases it, and sforzando creates shock with loud noises. These filming and audio methods manipulate audiences' emotions during key moments.
The Wall
Two men dressed in camouflage are hiding in an isolated desert area. One goes to investigate and is shot, causing the other to rush to help. Shots are then fired at the uninjured man, who leaps over a small wall for cover. He tries to call for help but realizes his radio has been hacked by someone with an accent. The voice tells him he needs to start talking, building tension as the audience wonders what will happen next. The trailer implies this is "not a war" but instead "a game", hinting at the thriller elements of the full movie.
Script Neature Walk
1) The document describes a post-apocalyptic wasteland setting called Skab, where survival is difficult and many people are killed.
2) Two men named Lenny and Rodney are approached by the leader of a gang to create an educational video on how to avoid death in the wasteland.
3) Lenny and Rodney film themselves attempting to demonstrate how to remove radiation from dirt, but Lenny ends up falling and getting a mouthful of dirt, panicking. Their experimental educational video ends abruptly.
1st group project final
The document discusses different camera shots and angles used when filming conversations between two people. It defines a two-shot as a single frame showing two subjects, which is useful for establishing relationships and understanding body language. An over-the-shoulder shot frames one subject by shooting over the shoulder of the other. A shot reverse shot alternates between each subject looking at the other to imply a conversation. These shot types are effective techniques for filming interactions between characters.

My idea
The document proposes a drama genre short film called "My Idea" that follows the events of a character's life until they are left for dead in a car accident. The rough sequence would start with the main character injured on the ground after the accident, then rewind to show clips of events leading up to the incident. Complications could arise in believably depicting the accident, but this could be overcome through close-ups and sound effects showing the moments just before the crash without depicting the actual accident.
Presentations
This document analyzes the trailers for several historical and contemporary horror films using various film theories. It summarizes the plots of The Shining and Orphan from 1980 and 2009. It then analyzes the trailers for these films using Todorov's narrative theory and Propp's character theory. The document also summarizes the plots of Carrie, Black Swan, and The Woman in Black and indicates they will be analyzed but does not provide the actual analyses. It concludes with a brief section on the "female gaze".
Riverside Story-Board
The document provides details on the planned shots and framing for the opening scene of a film. It will begin with an establishing shot from above showing a jogger entering a wooded area. Subsequent shots will follow the jogger from a distance through the woods. The final shots will reveal a dead body near a bridge and focus on a playing card left at the scene as a calling card from the killer. The shots are planned to unsettle the audience and draw them into the mystery through the camera angles and framing of the shots.
The shining presentation
The document analyzes and summarizes the opening title sequence of the film. It discusses several key points:
1) The non-diegetic music creates an eerie atmosphere that hints at the film's genre as a psychological thriller.
2) Extreme long shots are used to establish the remote and rough location, which is commonly used in psychological thrillers to convey a sense of helplessness.
3) Match cuts signal continuity as the camera tracks a car driving through the Rocky Mountains, an important location hinted to be where violence will occur later in the film.
Movie script corrected
A group of kids sneak into an abandoned prison at night. They explore the prison grounds, bickering amongst themselves. Meanwhile, another group throws rocks at lights in the prison barracks. One of the kids, Actor 2, becomes separated from the group and encounters an unknown figure. As the figure reaches to remove their hood, the screen fades to white.
Movie script 2
Three friends sneak into an abandoned prison at night. They explore the empty prison buildings and throw rocks, trying to hit lights. One friend wanders off alone and encounters an unknown figure. They stare each other down, and as the friend speaks, the figure slowly removes his hood, revealing himself.
Shot list
The document provides a shot list for a film containing 14 shots. Shot 1 is an establishing extreme long shot of a forest from the sky tilting down. Shot 2 is a left to right pan of a jogger crossing a bridge. Shot 3 is a right to left pan of the jogger running past the camera. Shot 9 is an extreme long shot of a river and bridge establishing the death location. Shot 10 tilts down from the bridge to introduce a medium/long shot of a dead body on the bridge.
Research conclusions
All four films establish a sense of danger or threat within the first two minutes. They do this through their settings, which often involve isolated or run-down buildings, and ominous non-diegetic sounds. Tension is built through long shots that portray vast or isolated settings, jump cuts between shots, and panning cameras. The films Halloween 4, House on Haunted Hill, Saw 5, and Bereavement are analyzed and found to use similar technical techniques like sounds, shots, and camera work to quickly set an unsettling or threatening tone at the start.
Script
The document provides background for an apocalyptic film or video. Nuclear war has left the environment and society in ruins, and people are struggling to survive. A gang leader asks two former educators, Lenny and Rodney, to create an educational video to teach the gang members how not to die in the wasteland. Lenny and Rodney film a demonstration on identifying radiated dirt, but when Lenny tries to remove the radiation from the dirt, he ends up falling and getting a mouthful of it, panicking along with Rodney. Their educational video attempt is humorous but intended to provide practical survival skills to the gang.
Shot list
This document contains a shot list for a music video. It outlines 21 shots that will be filmed in various locations including a forest, town, and beach. Each shot is described as a medium shot and will feature the singer Tom running toward the camera as it moves backward. Background actions are described for many shots, such as people walking, playing, arguing, or doing activities near Tom. The shots are ordered to be filmed sequentially and include background elements intended to make the video visually interesting.
7.opening sequence research
The document summarizes and analyzes the opening scenes of two films. For the first film, Battle Royale, it describes how the opening scene uses a dramatic musical score along with contrasting shots of the ocean to set up the violent premise of the story and capture the audience's curiosity. It then analyzes specific camera angles used and how they make the audience feel uncomfortable or establish the power of the army. For the second film, Pete's Dragon, it briefly describes the plot of a boy being raised in the forest by a dragon after his parents die. It then states the opening sequence is well made but does not provide any analysis of that opening scene.

Todorov's theory of narrative structure identifies 5 stages in a typical story: 1) An initial state of equilibrium or order, 2) A disruption to this equilibrium caused by some event or character, 3) Recognition that a disruption has occurred, 4) An attempt to repair the disruption, 5) A reinstatement of the original equilibrium. The document then applies this model to the plot of the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises", identifying examples from the movie that fit each stage of Todorov's narrative structure.
Trailer outline
The document outlines a trailer for a post-apocalyptic comedy film called "Neature Walk". The trailer depicts stock footage of riots establishing an apocalyptic setting. Voiceover explains that a full scale nuclear war resulted in societal chaos. The trailer then introduces the two unlikely heroes, Lenny and Rodney, as they flee enemies. It ends with an asynchronous gunshot and the line "That's pretty neat." The film plot involves Lenny and Rodney, two dumb mercenary filmmakers, being commissioned to create a nature tutorial to help reduce deaths in a gang, but they end up creating a PSA that inadvertently causes the demise of warring factions.
Irony
This document defines and provides examples of three types of irony: situational irony, verbal irony, and dramatic irony. Situational irony occurs when the opposite of what is expected happens. Verbal irony involves saying something that means the opposite of the literal words. Dramatic irony exists when the audience knows something that the characters do not. Examples are provided for each type from the story of Romeo and Juliet.
My idea
The document proposes a short drama film that follows the events leading up to a character's accident, which leaves them for dead on the pavement. It would start with the character injured on the ground, then rewind to show clips of what happened earlier that day to lead up to the incident. One complication mentioned is realistically portraying the accident itself without harming actors or props, which could be overcome by close-ups in the moments before, then blacking out the screen during the accident with sound effects.
Detailed analysis
The document analyzes the camerawork, editing, sound, and mise-en-scene of the movie trailer for The Purge. It notes that establishing shots at the beginning aim to show innocence and set the location. Shots become closer and faster-paced as the action increases. The sound starts peaceful but introduces violence sounds and music later. Costumes are used to distinguish the everyday family from the antagonist and his group, who wear masks to conceal their identities as is common in horror genres.
Detailed analysis
The trailer uses various camera shots and editing techniques to establish the setting and build tension. It begins with peaceful establishing shots of a sunset and family to show the initial innocence. The editing is initially slow but becomes faster paced as the action increases. Sound starts with ambient noise and then introduces doorbell sounds and violence. Music is later added to contrast the peaceful melody with scenes of ultra-violence. The mise-en-scene depicts the main family in everyday clothing to present them as normal, while the antagonist and their group wear fancy clothes and masks to conceal their identities and add an element of fear.
Media horror presentation
The document describes a series of shots from a zombie film. It begins with a wide shot of a school as the main character runs past, being chased by zombies. Subsequent shots show the main character running scared and looking over his shoulder. He opens a gate to escape but doesn't close it fully, allowing the zombies to follow. The main character then runs into a building where other survivors ask if he got what they needed. However, the gate is then shown opening slowly with the zombies entering as the title "Deadline" appears.
Genre research
Rock originated in the late 1940s and was influenced by blues, jazz and classical music but featured electric guitars and faster drum beats. Elvis Presley emerged in the 1950s and energized the genre with a danceable style mixing different cultural influences. The Beatles became popular in the 1960s with a variety of styles ranging from pop ballads to heavy rock. Since then, numerous rock sub-genres have emerged including punk rock, glam rock, progressive rock, and heavy metal. Alternative rock bands like Linkin Park produce music that experiments and combines different elements.
Equipment
The document outlines the equipment that will be used to shoot a music video, including a Canon EOS 700D for the majority of footage shot in 1080p at 25fps, a tripod for steady shots such as greenscreen scenes and slow motion footage, a Panasonic DMC-TZ71 to capture slow motion scenes at 1080p 50fps, a greenscreen for VFX shots, a shoulder rig/mount for opening shots of abandoned streets and graffiti, and Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects software to edit the video and add effects.
Music video production schedule
The production schedule outlines the dates, scenes, equipment, actors, props, and locations needed to film a music video over 5 days from January 17th-23rd. On the 17th and 18th, scenes of abandoned streets and a Molotov throw will be filmed in Ringwood using DSLR cameras mounted on a shoulder rig and tripod. On the 21st, the band will play in a school hall. Greenscreen footage of the band playing will be captured on the 22nd. From the 23rd-25th, the footage will be edited using Adobe software to composite scenes and add effects.

On January 15th, the band will perform on a greenscreen filmed with DSLRs on a tripod to allow for virtual backgrounds in post-production.
No more sorrow recce photos
The document discusses potential locations for filming a riot scene and a band performance. For the riot scene, an abandoned brick location in Ringwood covered in moss and grass was selected to create the right atmosphere. For the band performance, a school hall with a large dark stage, accessible props like drums and speakers, good lighting, and space for green screen equipment was chosen as it suits the band's style. Signs will be posted at the public riot filming location to inform people.

This shot list describes scenes for a music video featuring a band playing and a rebel character. It includes various shots of band members playing their instruments, close-ups of the singer singing and screaming, and shots of the rebel walking down an empty street and throwing a Molotov cocktail. It also includes shots of people being beaten and starving on the streets as well as shots of the band playing with special effects particles flying forward and the leader flying back and disintegrating at the end.
Music video annotated lyrics
The song lyrics describe feelings of betrayal and deception by someone in power who abuses power with greed. The writer plans to create a violent music video to match the aggressive lyrics, using fast cuts, shaky camera, and CGI effects to depict destruction and chaos. The video will be both a performance and narrative of a revolution where the singer/artists fight against the higher power described in the song.

It grew in popularity in the 1960s led by bands like The Beatles and continued with artists such as Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin. In the 1970s, heavier rock bands like AC/DC emerged and numerous other subgenres have developed since including punk rock, glam rock, progressive rock, heavy metal, and alternative rock. Alternative rock differentiates itself from mainstream rock and Linkin Park specifically uses elements of rap and varies their musical style across albums with messages in their lyrics. Rock styles vary widely by band but commonly include dark clothing, hair, tattoos

The target audience for the music video is male teenagers aged 12 to 18, as the band Linkin Park is popular with this demographic.

Although both genders listen to rock music, the genre and this band in particular tend to attract more male fans, who will likely make up most of the viewership for the video.
