Sam Qureshi proposes techniques for applying realistic makeup, foley sounds, and camera tricks to enhance the mise-en-scene and sound effects for a horror open text sequence (OTS). Examples of zombie makeup techniques include creating peeling skin and infected pus. Horror foley sounds could include snapping celery to mimic bone breaking or beating tomatoes to simulate beating. Camera tricks like over-the-shoulder shots could make attacks like a zombie slashing a face seem realistic while avoiding actual violence. These techniques aim to increase believability and scare audiences for the planned horror OTS.

Mise-en-scene elements like low-key lighting, modern costumes, and dirty/bloody makeup for survivors and zombies will be used. Camerawork will employ common horror techniques like close-ups, establishing shots, and handheld shots. Sound will include tense non-diegetic music and rushed dialogue from survivors with zombie moans. Editing will use continuity to maintain audience interest within the constraints of a trailer format.
Trailer conventions - Conventions Of Existing Media Texts
The document discusses conventions of horror film trailers in terms of narrative, camera use, editing, and sound. It explains that trailers typically begin with an "equilibrium" to introduce characters, then depict a confrontation or problem through intensifying editing and camera techniques to build tension. While not revealing endings, trailers aim to leave viewers wanting more through an abrupt conclusion. Common camera angles and shots are used to reflect mood, and editing increases pace to showcase key moments in a short time. Sound is manipulated to emphasize scares, build suspense through silence, or signify important events.
Media evaluation

Final major project_proposal_form_updated
Chloe Whittle proposes a short zombie film as her final media project. The film will follow survivors living in a house and dealing with zombies outside. However, it will be revealed that the main character has been keeping her infected husband locked in the cellar and feeding him parts of other survivors. The target audience will be older teenagers and young adults who enjoy zombie films like Dawn of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead. To appeal to this audience, the film will include suspense, blood, gore, and a character death. It will be filmed using various camera angles and lighting from the sun, with sound design and editing done in Adobe programs.
My A2 Media Evaluation (All In One)
The document summarizes the media student's horror trailer project. Some key points:
1) The student created a horror trailer with elements of gore and comedy, drawing inspiration from films like Dawn of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead.
2) Conventionally, the trailer uses techniques like jump scares and montages to build suspense. It leaves some plot details ambiguous to generate interest.
3) Influences include the auteur styles of Alfred Hitchcock and George Romero. The student aimed to create a unique hybrid style drawing from multiple influences.
4) The student's contributions included camerawork, concept input, and design work, while other skills like editing are still being
Micro elements in film opening
The document discusses how different camera shots are used in opening sequences to create meaning and tension. An extreme close-up of a zombie's eyes shows blood and desperation. A close-up from a POV perspective shows the scariness and expression of a zombie about to eat someone. A medium shot clearly shows a man running from a zombie, showing his movement and pace. The long shots show the location and zombies attacking, with an extreme long shot establishing the living area setting.
Burnin Fever Treatment
The video depicts a sentient computer virus, represented by a robotic character, invading the world and infecting people through stop motion and glitch effects. Office workers become zombie-like infected who attack others. The robot causes increasing chaos by overloading systems with flashing imagery. In the climax, the virus' upload is complete and it has taken over media. In the aftermath, infected people spread the virus and create mess. In the ending, the hacker watches the chaos from isolation while the robot takes over as a news anchor, leaving the fate of the world ambiguous.
Evaluation question five
The document describes research conducted to understand the target audience for a zombie film project. Surveys asked about demographics and preferences regarding zombie film elements. Respondents preferred strong female leads, a variety of character ages/types, and realistic rather than comedic zombie behaviors. The filmmakers incorporated these elements into their story and characters. They cast actors matching the target middle-class audience to increase relatability. The opening uses titles, settings, genres, and film techniques to attract attention and intrigue viewers about the plot and characters.

Assignment 13
- 1. Sam Qureshi
- 2. Purpose To gain a better understanding of how to apply effective make up and foley to our OTS. We will use technique research to aid us. By doing this, the mise- en-scene and sound effects of the characters will become more realistic and believable towards the audience. This goes towards our planning for our horror OTS.
- 3. Here are some examples that I chose…
- 4. Zombie make up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtNYaXAGuyY (zombie make up effects) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMZ994SQeLE (zombie bite mark) We could apply this to our zombie OTS which would make the zombies’ mise-en-scene look more realistic in terms of make up. This can make the zombie look more grotesque. For example, making the zombies’ skin peel, or give them huge infected pusses. We can show zombie bite marks on the humans as well, to show their infection. This shows show the violent extent of zombies, and can make our horror OTS look more scary for the audience.
- 5. Horror foley sounds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LXBFmNRDwU (montage of different foley horror sounds with vegetable and fruit violence) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqkT9Q6iKZI (creating and editing foley sound at home) We could make the sound of a zombie breaking bones (or a vampire) by snapping celery in half. Or by beating a tomato to make in sound like someone is being beaten to death e.g. zombies beating (attacking the human characters). To use these sound techniques, upload them onto garage band to make them sound even more effective, or edit these sounds to make a situation sound more dramatic.
- 6. Technique – camera tricks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbeVSx1Gf4k To make fake violence look realistic, which will ultimately make the audience believe that characters are really getting attacked, which they are in the story but not in real life (our intention is not to physically hurt someone). This intensifies the OTS. For example, using the technique from this video, we could use the over-the-shoulder camera technique. This is where you use an over-the-shoulder camera shot, and is where it looks like one character is hitting another, even though no hitting is going on. For our OTS we could use this technique except a zombie is slashing a human around the face with its sharp fingernails, and the human falls down, and we see a close up of the human with blood. The shot will have to be quick though.
