Analysis of 'Physco' 's shower scene
The document analyzes the use of sound, camera work, mise-en-scene, and editing in Alfred Hitchcock's famous shower scene from Psycho. It describes how the non-diegetic music builds tension before stopping when the shower starts. Piercing screams are heard as the victim is attacked. The sounds of the shower emphasize that the killing is interrupting everyday life. Rapid editing shows the back-and-forth struggle between the killer and victim. Camera angles engage viewers in voyeurism while also focusing on the killer's power over the victim.
First draft of our script
The document outlines the scenes and content planned for a documentary on car accidents involving young drivers. Scene 1 involves an interview with James Cooper about a past car accident. Scene 2 interviews Lucine Sandiford about a recent car crash. Scene 3 presents facts and figures about car accidents among young people. Scene 4 plans to interview a police officer about risky driving by teenagers. Scene 5 will film traffic along a road known for speeding and an accident. Scene 6 will show new drivers celebrating passing their tests.
Storyboards of our documentary
The document discusses two storyboards that outline how the filmmakers want to make their documentary and how it will actually be made. It provides a planned and actual production overview in two storyboard formats.
Documentary description brief
The documentary aims to inform teenage drivers and parents about the dangers of driving as a teenager. It will include interviews with people affected by car accidents, a police officer, and a college head. It will also present facts and statistics about crashes caused by young drivers. The target audience is 16-19 year olds and their parents. The documentary will air on either ITV or Channel 4.
Example Documentaries- Target Audiences
This document contains information on target audiences for four potential documentary films:
1) "Pressure To Be Perfect" targets females aged 13-25 from low-medium income, middle class backgrounds interested in beauty and fashion content, likely viewing on TV.
2) "Retail Gloom" targets middle income, middle class adults over 30 interested in news and informed content, likely viewing on TV or internet.
3) "Youth Services" targets middle aged adults of either sex from middle class, middle income backgrounds interested in politics and society, likely viewing on TV.
4) "Stadium Watch" targets males aged 16+ of any class or income interested in sports, likely viewing via TV, online or seeing
'Love' Documentary Analysis
The documentary aimed to portray love in a realistic yet gentle manner. Natural lighting and costumes were used to reflect the characters' ages. The acting felt genuine as no scripts were used. The common room setting would be familiar and comfortable for the target 16+ audience. Music and ambient sounds helped viewers relate to the surroundings. Camera angles represented equality in love, while close-ups showed emotion. The documentary created a friendly environment to discuss love.
Analysis of script
The document analyzes scenes from a script in 3-sentence paragraphs. It discusses using cuts between scenes of a girl entering her home alone to build tension. It considers showing her walking down a corridor to isolate her, but decides against extra characters or dialogue for the film's beginning. It plans shots of the girl sitting on her bed directly under the attic for focus on her acting. It will use a hairdryer to flickering a magazine for effect rather than just banging from above. It intends getting shots from different angles of her pulling down the attic ladder and walking up to build suspense.

Preliminary evaluation
The document discusses the evaluation of a group project creating a thriller film for a class. The group felt they created something different than other preliminary tasks and that it fit well into the thriller genre. With more time, they could have added more camera angles and shots or filmed in a less busy setting. At first, using the video equipment and working together was difficult, but the group was able to overcome challenges and incorporate all ideas into a good preliminary task. Creating a storyboard helped the group plan locations and visualize their ideas.
Preliminary sketches
The document contains 8 preliminary sketches for filming scenes of a short video. Each sketch describes the shot, duration, and key events in the scene. The sketches establish shots include a girl walking through double doors into a classroom where a "bad character" hides.
