This document discusses common conventions in horror filmmaking, including the use of orchestral music to set mood, common camera shots like low angles on antagonists, editing techniques like increasing pace before scares, and settings that convey isolation such as abandoned houses or dark woods. It also mentions how music is integrated with visuals, close ups are used less on villains, and handheld shots add to the unsettling feeling. Narrative structures typically involve a protagonist on a mission to confront an antagonist who is often insane or motivated by past trauma.
This document analyzes the 2013 comedy film "This is the End" directed by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen.

The student learned about various technologies through constructing their media product. They used YouTube easily to find a film opening to analyze. They used a camera they were familiar with to take photos for their project. Google was helpful for research. Recording with a video camera, microphone, and tripod was not difficult since they did a practice task. Editing with Premiere Pro was also not hard after practice, though working with images required more clicks. Sound Booth was simple to use for recording narration. Blogger was familiar software for evaluation, planning and research. Uploading to Slideshare was also straightforward.
The preliminary task helped the author learn skills like editing clips together smoothly, different shot types and camera techniques. It also helped them learn what to avoid, like capturing the microphone in shots. For their main production, they used what they learned to make their film opening more interesting. While filming and editing was mostly easy, the author realized they need to improve panning the camera more smoothly. They also learned new sound editing skills but found adjusting sound levels and effects difficult at first. Working as a group on their full film, they improved at communicating, problem solving together and making joint decisions.
The document discusses how the group targeted their audience for a romance film. They researched the magazine "Closer" and found it was popular among females under 35. They conducted a questionnaire with their target audience to learn what elements of romance films appeal to them, such as happy endings with kissing. Based on their research, the group decided to advertise the film in "Closer" magazine and on YouTube where they felt it would reach their target audience.
The document discusses the target audience for a romance film. It was initially aimed at teenagers but research found that most romance film viewers are women under 35, regardless of class. So the target audience was expanded to teenagers under 35 and anyone who enjoys romance films. The film was given a 12 classification by the British Board of Film Classification as it shows some alcohol abuse and violence, but not extensively or graphically. It also contains kissing between the main characters but no explicit sexual scenes. An 16-year-old girl who enjoys romance films was interviewed to represent the target demographic.
A film distributor is a company that releases films to theaters, TV, and online platforms. They promote the film and arrange showings. For a low budget independent film, a smaller, more independent distributor would be more affordable and could still successfully promote and distribute the film. Examples given of low budget films that did well with smaller distributors include Paranormal Activity and Four Weddings and a Funeral. Fox Searchlight Pictures is mentioned as a distributor that specializes in independent and British films and has had successes with low budget films.
The document discusses how the media product represents social groups. It focuses on the two main protagonists, Tom and Scarlett, who are white and middle class. Both characters conform to stereotypes - Scarlett is portrayed as innocent and pure through her clothing, while Tom initially takes control of Scarlett, implying the male stereotype of dominating women. The document also notes the use of lighting to reflect the happy and positive mood of the characters, drawing on romance genre conventions.
The document analyzes film opening conventions and techniques used in romantic genre films that the author observed in their research. These include establishing shots, credits, introductions of main characters, music, lighting, narration, and enigmas. The author then discusses how they applied these conventions in their own media product opening, such as using melancholic music, natural lighting, narration by the female protagonist about her life, and locations where couples normally date. Overall, the document provides examples of techniques from romantic films and discusses how the author incorporated these genres conventions into their own media opening.
The document analyzes conventions used in romantic film openings that the author observed in four films: Letters to Juliet, Honey, My Sister's Keeper, and Twilight. Key conventions included establishing shots, introductions of protagonists, music to set tone, and enigmas to intrigue audiences. The author then discusses how their group media product employs similar conventions like narration, music, costumes, locations and camera shots to develop genre expectations and challenge conventions.
The document discusses conventions used in film openings for romance genres. It provides examples of conventions for setting the scene, introducing characters, using certain camera shots, sounds, and narration. Specifically, it notes that the film opening uses an establishing shot, natural lighting, melancholic music, mid shots of the characters, and narration from the female protagonist to set the tone and context. It analyzes how similar conventions were used in the filmmaker's opening, while also challenging the genre convention of using an enigma about the characters rather than just the title.
KhemSlawson and assistants Hayley Jacklin and Rachael Halstead conducted a risk assessment on Thursday 19th January 2012 at De Aston School for an activity called "Is this it?". The assessment identified potential hazards such as wet grass causing slipping or falling, the nearby lake posing a drowning risk, and a steep hill risking slipping or falling. The measures taken to prevent injury included walking carefully on wet grass, staying away from the lake, and going slowly up and down the steep hill. All participants were responsible for following the safety measures.
