It shows a man walking towards a big, old house in the woods holding a gun. This implies that the film will focus on a man trying to kill everyone in the isolated house. The tagline "Watch 'em and kill 'em" further hints that he has been watching the residents and is now going to kill them, possibly as a hired assassin. The overall dark tones and imagery aim to create an atmosphere of danger and suspense.

Resident evil presentation
Stam argues that absolute fidelity between a film adaptation and its source material is impossible because film and literature are different mediums. While novels provide more descriptive detail, films can convey information through visuals. Stam discusses how adaptations are often judged harshly for what they omit rather than appreciated for what they add through creative license. He cites the example of Resident Evil: Extinction, which differs from the video game source material and novelization in its characters and plot details but was still enjoyed by those unfamiliar with the original works. Stam advocates that adaptations should not be viewed as inferior for deviations, but instead as new artistic works engaging in an intertextual dialogue with their sources.
Poster horrer
The posters for the 2005 movie "The Descent" depict dark, ominous scenes and imagery to suggest danger and death. Characters are shown in pools of blood or within a skull-shaped formation. Small amounts of light in the posters imply little hope for the characters. Reviews and references to other popular films are meant to encourage viewership. Overall, the posters convey a dark, foreboding tone through their visuals to promote the horror movie.
Horror Poster Analyses
This document analyzes several horror film posters. It discusses elements like fonts, colors, images, and text placement that are commonly used in horror posters to convey a sense of darkness, suspense, and impending threat. Specific techniques examined include a blurred title to draw focus, hidden details that become creepier upon closer inspection, and isolation of characters within the frame. The goal of these poster designs is to captivate viewers and draw in target audiences of seasoned horror fans through familiar tropes and techniques.
The imposter
The documentary tells the story of Nicholas, a 13-year old boy who disappeared from his home in Texas in 1994 and was found 3.5 years later alive in a village in Spain. However, he looked different, had a strange accent, and the family did not seem to notice these changes. An investigator started asking questions and uncovered that the boy was actually a French man named Frederic Bourdin posing as Nicholas. The documentary uses techniques like reenactments, interviews, and archival footage to explore this strange case and leaves the audience with more questions than answers about what really happened to Nicholas.
Horror keynote- Angelica + Christina
The document discusses ideas for a horror webisode animation. It begins by explaining that the idea is loosely based on Tim Burton's short film "Vincent" about a boy who wants to be like Vincent Price. The proposed webisode would feature a child convinced they are a dark character from a thriller/horror film, like Catherine Trammell from "Basic Instinct" who kills with an ice pick. Other possible characters mentioned include Patrick Bateman from "American Psycho." The document outlines strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for the project.
Empire (Public Enemies)
The document summarizes the codes and conventions used on the cover of a magazine featuring Harry Potter and the film Public Enemies. Key elements include an exclusive Harry Potter banner that draws in a wide audience, Daniel Radcliffe's profile picture that attracts fans, and the font and expression used that emphasize this is an exclusive on-set feature. The weapon, facial expression, and attire of the character also provide clues about the gangster film genre and era. Standard conventions like additional feature banners and advertising interior articles are also included.
Codes of convention :fictional biopic
Biopics are films that depict the life of a historical or present-day important person. They dramatize key events and moments in their life through varying degrees of historical accuracy. Fictional biopics tell the story of a fictional character's life. Biopics typically follow the narrative arc of a character's rise to fame or importance and their eventual demise, focusing on life-changing moments and people who influenced them.
The pitch
The document describes key details for a film production including the film title, production company name, and descriptions of three main characters - Surveyor 1, Surveyor 2, and Female. Surveyor 1 and 2 will be dressed in suits to portray stereotypical businessmen. Female will have a "dumb blonde" stereotype and dress casually. The outline provides that after witnessing an assassination, Female will have her memory wiped but start having flashbacks triggered by objects in her home. When two surveyors visit her home, her memories start returning and she realizes pages were ripped from her diary. The document discusses how the title sequences from Strangers on a Train, Arlington Road, and Mesrine: Killer Instinct influenced the proposed

The Imposter: Overview notes
The document summarizes key details and elements from the film "The Imposter". It notes the silent presence of the director, settings that include Spain and suburban America, and media file footage covering missing children cases. Voices in the film focus on Frederic and Carey and their relationship. Shots include scenes that evoke sympathy for the lost child narrative and depict rising tensions as lies are stretched. The structure uses juxtaposition of subjects' comments, a three year time period, and montage sequences to depict events in a way that comes close to a traditional story structure with a shocking revelation but no happy ending.

Interviews with the director Bart Layton and producer Dimitri Doganis express their ongoing surprise and confusion over how the imposter, Frederic Bourdin, was able to convincingly convince the teenage boy's family in Texas that he was actually their missing nephew. Both the filmmakers and audiences are left wondering who exactly was conned in this astonishing crime of impersonation.

The document analyzes the poster for the film "The Woman in Black" through three paragraphs. It first describes the dark and eerie tone set by the poster's use of black, grey, white, and red colors. Second, it examines how the shadowy figure of the woman raises suspicions and intimidates the child in the background setting. Finally, it notes the film is rated 15 and would appeal to fans of horror and mystery genres, especially those already familiar with the original "Woman in Black" film.
Evaluation, question one
The document discusses 9 screenshots from the student's horror film "The Haunting" and how they used or challenged conventions of the genre. Screenshots 1-3 establish the isolated house setting and title consistent with horror. Screenshots 4 and 5 employ creepy camera angles and black-and-white lighting to build suspense. Screenshots 6 depicts a body in the dirt with a mysterious text message. Screenshots 7-8 keep the opening credits simple with fading text.
