Poster analysis the strangers
The poster for the film "Sinister" uses conventions common to horror genre posters. The tagline "once you see him, nothing can save you" hints at a supernatural threat. The central image shows a blood-splattered wall and the suggestion of a young girl involved in sinister events. Most of the poster is monochrome except for the girl's golden hair. While key elements like the film title and tagline are included, the poster omits the actors and release date.
Question 1
During the initial planning, the group did not want to mimic mainstream horror conventions like slashers or possessions. They wanted an original story without excessive gore or a predictable killer.
The main character is juxtaposed to typical victims and brings a sense of isolation through silence rather than comic relief. There is no actual death scene, leaving an open ending to require more audience interaction than passive films.
While the setting of an abandoned building at night and basic sound effects of banging and scraping reference real horror films, the goal was to challenge conventions and reduce predictability through developing new approaches to character and plot.

World war z anaylsis
The poster uses a simplistic black, white, and red color scheme to depict zombies attacking a helicopter in an ambiguous manner. The font draws attention and the title stands out. The poster targets ages 15+ as Brad Pitt's popularity in action films appeals to audiences. It promotes the apocalyptic, dystopian horror genre through the zombie attack and collapsing buildings. The poster leaves some aspects unclear to generate interest in the film's story.
Analysistable4
The document analyzes techniques used in the opening sequences of 6 psychological thriller films. It finds that most use red or white titles over images to set a ominous tone. Camera movements like panning are used to create mystery. Close-ups and medium shots are common framing techniques. Eye-level camera angles portray subjects normally at first. Settings tend to be remote or suburban areas. Mise-en-scene like the use of red costumes or props imply danger and psychological issues in the characters. Color, lighting, locations and other visual elements effectively set tones that foreshadow the psychological threats within the films.
Dawn Of The Dead
The title sequence of the film uses shocking close-up shots and mysterious long shots to imply the horror/thriller genre. Non-diegetic country music plays over fast-cut real news-style footage to build tension and convey a national crisis. Low-angle shots of soldiers suggest they will be important and shots of blood/DNA hint at an epidemic threatening humanity. The sequence blurs genre boundaries and uses techniques like an unknown hero and international threats to create mystery.

1) The opening scene of the film "The Gamble" establishes the thriller genre through tense music, quick shots showing different actions, and a dramatic title sequence.
2) The victim and villain characters are introduced through their contrasting costumes and stereotypes - the victim wears a suit representing his upper-class job, while the villain wears black and a mask concealing his identity.
3) Camerawork like an extreme close-up of the victim's terrified face and a shaky shot of the dancing villain help set an unsettling tone and conceal the villain's identity. Few special effects are used to maintain grit and suspense.

- 1. A2 Media Studies Trailer Analysis -
- 4. The fact that the writing is capitalised stresses strong point and feelings delivered across to the spectators and to make them wonderthat maybe the prediction will come true by 2012 about the world ending.
- 6. Another thing which is so appealing about this trailer is that the suspense of music and the animalist sounds continues to entice the viewers throughout the end. The statement ‘One man has survived’ may come across as startling, seen as the entire New York seems secluded. But then the last sentence says ‘The last man on Earth… is not alone’ this may confuse the fans and would be engulfed in thinking about the whole theory.
- 7. The trailer ends with a dramatic sound track and Will Smith exclaiming ‘ NOOOO!’ and with the immediate arrival of the big font writing ‘ WILL SMITH’ which connotes that he is the star of the film. Moreover, he is known for his other Sci-fi, action, comedy films who people can recognize and relate to him. The fact that his name stands above the film title can reinforce the idea that he is the unique selling point and cleverly the producers have used his name to draw audience’s attention that it is the legend – Will Smith, a well known actor for his other admirable work.
- 8. Most of the shots in the trailer are shown in dark background colours such as black which could imply that the events are taking place within film are bleak and disastrous, considering presumably a mysterious plague will vacuum the entire New York city and that only one man will remain alive- this could raise interest of the audience as well as in the film as people will be curious about whether he will last till the end or not.
- 9. Lastly, the font of the title is grey coloured, which connotes negative message such as: cold, misery, destruction, and the end of the world.
- 10. Obviously, by observing this particular trailer, I gathered that it is clearly character based as well as focused on the other disturb circumstances of people. Therefore, it is more concentrated on the most action scenes rather than the aftermath. Which is a good quality because it does not necessarily let out a lot to the audience. It is keeping the audience in anticipation as to what might or might not happen according to an individual prediction.
- 11. All in all, I like the threatening yet enigmatic impression about this chosen trailer, as I would much prefer the notion for my trailer too. I like the fact that the entire trailer is focusing on the protagonist’s life issues and how the plot merely surrounds him. As it wouldn’t bombard the audience with many characters, which may as a result leave them confused whereas only one character may make it much easier for the viewers to follow and immerse in and relate to the film. The film does not give much away like the rest of the other trailers, however this does give a slight sense of interest as it is unusual to see the world so peaceful but yet quite hostile.
