Time Line
The document provides a timeline of the history of horror films from the 1890s to the 2000s. It highlights some of the earliest films featuring supernatural events in the late 1890s and early 1900s. In the 1930s-1940s, Universal Pictures had success with Gothic horror films like Dracula and Frankenstein. The 1950s-1960s saw the emergence of science fiction horror films dealing with threats like alien invasions. The 1970s featured many films with occult and demonic themes like The Exorcist. Slasher films became popular in the 1980s and 1990s, while the 2000s saw remakes and sequels to classic franchises as well as new independent horror films.
Film Noir
Film noir is a cinematic term used to describe movies from the 1940s-1950s that featured pessimistic themes, ambiguous morality, and cynical characters. It is characterized by stylish crime dramas and an emphasis on sexual motivations and fate. While the definition was disputed, one author defined film noir as "always about sex, violence, and money." Some classic examples are Casablanca and films by Alfred Hitchcock from this era. More recent films noir continue to use elements like low-key lighting, bleak urban settings, and corrupt characters.
Genre in British Social Realism
British social realism developed over the 20th century to depict the lives and experiences of ordinary British people. Key moments included early films showing everyday life in the early 1900s and documentaries from the 1930s-40s that influenced later mainstream films. The 1950s Free Cinema movement and 1960s British New Wave brought social issues like class, gender, and economic challenges to the forefront through films focused on working class characters. Directors like Mike Leigh and Ken Loach examined the impact of policies like Thatcherism and consumerism on communities and family life. While formulas emerged, many films provided complex portraits of British society.

Continuity editing is the predominant style of editing in film and television. It aims to establish logical coherence between shots and smooth over discontinuities in editing. Shot/reverse shot shows one character looking at another, either on or off screen, and then shows the other character looking back. Match on action cuts between shots that continue the same action, creating a visual bridge that draws attention away from editing issues. Crossing the line refers to an imaginary line in a scene that, if crossed, changes the viewer's perspective and causes disorientation.

Problems, issues and successes
The filming had some initial problems including poor lighting at night, shaky camera shots, and issues filming scenes inside a slow moving car that required speeding up footage and adding artificial sound effects. However, the production was able to overcome many of these challenges through solutions like a camera mount, improved lighting and acting for reshoots. One pan shot in particular turned out well during editing.
Paramount pictures
Paramount Pictures is one of the oldest film studios in the world, founded in 1912 and still headquartered in Hollywood. Some of Paramount's most famous films include Forrest Gump, Indiana Jones, and Titanic. Paramount's logo symbolizes adventure through climbing a mountain, and the many stars could represent the high ratings and big success of both their films and the company itself.
Problems, issues and successes
The filming had some initial problems. When filming at night, they only had a small torch for lighting, making shots dark. Some shots from the camera were wobbly. When filming in a car, it had to be slowed down during playback to make the dialogue audible, making the shot look crude. On reshoots, the lighting and acting were improved.

What have i learnt from my preliminary task
This document summarizes what the author learned from creating a preliminary media production task. They enjoyed the entire process, from planning to editing. They learned that media productions require more in-depth work focusing on key elements, compared to previous projects. Continuity was important to consider across multiple shoots. The author improved their skills using video editing software, like adding effects and animating titles. They effectively incorporated stylistic choices like camera angles, lighting, costumes, and sound design to represent genre conventions and characterize different roles.
Sound design
The document discusses the sound design choices made for a film production. It describes using realistic diegetic sounds like doors squeaking and rain along with some non-diegetic sounds like a car and axe for a kill scene. Dark, sinister music called "Personal Demons" was used to represent the antagonist, as well as a "Water Drip Torture" sound whenever he was present. Additionally, calmer "Retro City" dubstep music represented the main characters and was played in contrast to the sinister music during scenes with the antagonist.

Defining My Audience
For my first essay in English 102, I have been asked to define my target audience. The essay will discuss the benefits of reading classic literature and how it can enhance one's life. While this topic could appeal to a wide range of readers, I think my ideal audience would be college freshmen and sophomores.
Students just starting their college careers are at a pivotal moment where they are beginning to explore new ideas and areas of study outside of their previous coursework. Exposure to classic novels, plays, and poems can help broaden their perspectives and teach valuable life lessons in an engaging way. Many students may be intimidated by "classic lit" or think
Script
Malcolm brutally attacks his son Jake with an axe in an empty house. Later, friends Richie, Sven, Gus, and Tommie discover the abandoned house while looking for a place to stay for the night. Gus is dared to search upstairs alone, where he sees a masked figure but it disappears. Unaware of the earlier murder, the friends decide to stay the night in the empty house.
Cast release form
This document is a release form for actors appearing in a film. It gives consent for the filmmakers to photograph and record the actor's voice, and use those images and recordings for advertising, publicity and business purposes related to the film. It also allows the filmmakers and any associated companies to reproduce and authorize use of the images and recordings in both domestic and foreign markets. The actor releases the filmmakers and associated parties from any legal claims regarding the use of the images and recordings. If the actor is a minor, a parent or guardian must also sign approving the terms.
Location shots for media production
The document discusses location shots for a media production. It likely contains information about scouting and selecting filming locations as well as logistics for shooting on location rather than a studio. Key details covered may include proposed locations, transportation and permits required, and budget and scheduling considerations for the outdoor production.
Age certificate
This document discusses applying for an age certificate rating of 15 for a horror film due to its gory and violent scenes that would not be suitable for those under 15 years old. It notes that most horror films receive a 15 rating, which allows for strong themes, menace and gory images as long as they are not sadistic, sexual or could promote dangerous behavior in impressionable teenagers by dwelling on harmful details.
Crew roles research
The document outlines various crew roles for a film production called "Walking on Sunshine". It describes roles such as the producer who coordinates the film, the director who oversees the creative aspects, the director of photography who makes camera and lighting decisions, the editor who assembles the shots, and production assistants who help in various departments with general tasks. Roles in sound, camera, design, catering, editing, and music composition are also defined.
Treatment
A disturbed man kills his son with an axe in a kitchen late at night. A group of friends who have been drinking pull up to an abandoned property seeking shelter for the night. As they explore the empty house, one of them goes upstairs and encounters a masked, disfigured man who disappears after lightning flashes. They find no one else in the house.
