This document summarizes key elements learned from analyzing 7 redneck and backwoods horror movies. Common themes identified include isolated rural settings away from civilization where victims do not know the area, making them feel insecure and unsafe. Antagonists typically live in these isolated areas and investigate or slowly kidnap victims to build tension. Jump scares are used to reveal the danger victims face from antagonists seeking retaliation, violence or secrecy. Settings at night or of abandoned shacks/roads are employed to increase danger and tension for vulnerable victims in the films.

Memento
This document provides an analysis of key elements in the opening scene of the film Memento:
1) The title font and blue background juxtapose softness with a bloody crime scene, setting the tone as a psychological thriller.
2) A close-up of a fading polaroid sets up the narrative as a mystery and suggests the story will involve unraveling past events.
3) The first five minutes introduce the victim and villain through a still showing the villain shooting the victim, engaging audiences with violence.
4) The setting of an old, run-down house implies a crime between former residents and the risk of the daylight murder suggests the killer's confidence and planning.
Vert 7 - Ebert on hitchcock
This document provides an in-depth analysis of Alfred Hitchcock's film Vertigo and his portrayal and treatment of women in his films more broadly. It summarizes that Vertigo tells the story of a man obsessed with his idealized version of a woman and his manipulation of another woman to conform to this image, reflecting Hitchcock's own objectification and control of women. It highlights a pivotal scene where the woman transforms herself that reveals both characters' inner pain and the director's passions. The document argues Vertigo and the character of Judy in particular show Hitchcock sympathizing most with his typically humiliated female subjects.
My final idea
The document outlines Christopher Morris Mills' idea for a short horror film called "Killer". It will tell the story of a home invasion where two escaped mental patients wearing masks break into a teenage girl's suburban home. Mills drew inspiration from films like The Strangers and The Purge that use the home invasion sub-genre. The teenage girl victim will be dressed in typical teenage clothing to make her seem innocent. The two killers will wear masks and one female killer will have messy hair and a white nightgown to appear misleadingly innocent but insane. Lighting techniques like under lighting will be used to create a dark, gloomy atmosphere.

Forms and Conventions - Challenge
Our horror movie challenges conventions by having a female killer, showing attacks during daytime without shadows or masks to hide the killer's identity, and not distinguishing the killer from victims through dark and light clothing colors typically used in other films.
Micro and Macro
This document discusses macro and micro decisions in media production. Macro decisions include storyline, genre, target audience, and morals/messages communicated. Micro decisions are the smaller elements that form the macro, such as editing, lighting, props, scripting, costume, music, mise-en-scene, and camera angles. It provides examples from the film "The Woman in Black" including its horror genre storyline about a lawyer encountering a mysterious woman. It also discusses costume, location, and lighting choices in the film and how they help communicate the intended atmosphere and narrative.
Monstrous feminine
Barbara Creed developed a theory of the "monstrous feminine" in horror films, building on Freud's ideas of the pre-Oedipal stage and castration anxiety. She argues that in horror films, women are often portrayed as monstrous and abject, representing the threat of castration. For example, in Halloween the final girl Lorry takes on this role when she kills the killer Michael Myers with a phallic symbol, becoming the monster herself. Creed's theory examines how psychological concepts of the mother-child relationship and separation from the mother get mapped onto gender in horror films.
Film noir
This document discusses the genre of film noir. It provides descriptions of some classic film noir movies from the 1940s-1950s and notes their dark, psychological themes of betrayal, madness, and moral corruption.

It also describes the visual style of film noir, including expressionistic lighting, disorienting camera work, and dark, shadowy urban settings.
Film Plot Development
This document summarizes the plot development and initial ideas for a film about a woman named Sienna dealing with schizophrenia. The film will focus on Sienna's mental health struggles and her belief that she is being stalked by a masked figure. It is unclear whether the stalker is real or a hallucination caused by her schizophrenia. This element of uncertainty and the "unknown" is meant to keep the audience engaged. The document discusses using themes of stalking, mental health issues, and alcohol dependency to make the film more realistic and give it a unique selling point compared to other horror films.
The final girl
The document discusses the "final girl theory" developed by Carol Clover. The final girl is the last character left alive at the end of a slasher film who confronts the killer. She is typically an intelligent, curious, and vigilant character who moves the narrative forward. According to Clover, final girls sometimes have unisex names and occasionally share a history with the killer. While some have criticized the theory as predictable, Clover argued it subverted the typical sexualized representation of women in horror films by positioning the audience to identify with the surviving female character rather than the killer.
Final girl
Slasher movies typically feature certain tropes:
1) The final girl who survives is often darker haired and less sexually active, meant to convey that sex is dangerous.
2) The monster wears a mask, making it scary because it could be anyone underneath and adding to the creepiness.
3) A group of friends who are without parental supervision are usually targeted when the monster attacks.
4) These movies often feature a benefactor, usually an older character like a police officer or doctor, who is seemingly committed the killings but is ultimately revealed to not be at the end.
I am Legend Poster Analysis
The document analyzes a movie poster for the film "I Am Legend" starring Will Smith. It notes that Will Smith's name is prominently displayed to attract his large fan base. The tagline hints at the plot without giving too much away. Visual elements in the background depict a post-apocalyptic New York that has been destroyed by a biological crisis, with overturned cars and weed-filled roads suggesting themes of destruction. Through clues like the setting and plot hints, the poster conveys that the film will be a sci-fi/horror story about Will Smith's character fighting to survive as the last human in a deserted New York.

Evaluation question 1
This document discusses how various shots from a student horror film follow common horror film conventions to look professional and create tension. It analyzes shots of an isolated rural house, ominous titles with dramatic music, high and low camera angles to represent power and vulnerability, a character in dark clothing contrasting with the setting, an antagonist lurking in the shadows unaware to the protagonist, revealing the antagonist in dark lighting, and a high angle shot of the antagonist approaching the vulnerable protagonist in a sparse, gothic house. The goal is to both conform to and challenge horror genre conventions to engage an urban audience.
Cloverfield

Interrogation scenes and a detective in action further point to crime and action genres. Dramatic shots like the chained suspect also evoke the drama genre used in the film. Overall, the trailer effectively employs conventions from thriller, crime, and drama genres to intrigue viewers about what happened to the
