Both trailers aim to entice audiences to watch the full movie without giving away the entire narrative.
Textual analysis
The opening sequence of The Possession begins with a close-up shot of an old woman looking extremely worried while holding an antique box engraved with symbols. It is revealed through cross-cutting that the box is the source of her distress. As she tries to destroy the box, she begins chanting in a foreign language and her body contorts, seemingly possessed by a supernatural force within the box. Throughout, a song plays about heaven, contrasting with the evil force of the box. The sequence wastes no time establishing the supernatural themes of possession and evil that will be central to the film's plot.
Film opening conventions
The document discusses how production logos and titles are used at the beginning of films to entice audiences and establish the genre. Key elements that help set the genre include the names of popular producers/actors, colors used in titles, music, special effects, costumes/props of main characters, and settings. These visual and audio cues provide audiences with conventions and expectations for the type of film they are watching based on genre. Creating questions or enigma is also important to keep audiences engaged from the start and wanting to learn more.
Question 1
The document discusses conventions used in film title sequences and openings, using the film Psycho as an example. It describes conventions at both the macro and micro level. At the macro level, Psycho does not show characters in its title sequence but only addresses them in the credits. At the micro level, Psycho uses black and white film stock, dramatic music, and motion titles to set an ominous tone. The document also discusses how the student group applied conventions from Psycho in their own horror title sequence, such as using red text on a black background and dramatic sound and music to signal the genre to viewers.
Evaluation Question Three
1) The document discusses the effectiveness of a film's poster and radio trailer in representing the film's genre and storyline without revealing major plot points.
2) Research of similar films' advertising helped inform the creation of the poster and radio trailer, which aimed to attract the target horror film audience through suspense and scare tactics.
3) Audience feedback indicated the poster and radio trailer successfully conveyed the film was a horror and intrigued viewers without providing too many details, achieving the goals of representing the film's genre and enticing audiences.
Death Entices Us
This document describes the shots and creative choices made in developing the opening title sequence of a fictional media product. It introduces the main antagonist band "Death Entices Us" through shots of their concert showing an increasingly violent mosh pit. Backstage shots show the stereotypical setting of alcohol and partying. The protagonist Courtney is introduced alone in a dark room, looking vulnerable. Later shots show Courtney tied up as the band prepares to confront her after the concert ends. Music and lighting choices aim to build tension and unease for the viewer.
Task 7
The opening credits of Almost Famous provide context clues about the film's narrative through visual and auditory elements:
1) The production company logos and writer/director credits establish this as a film written and directed by Cameron Crowe.
2) Upbeat, playful background music and scenes of a cluttered bedroom hint that the film will have a light, youthful tone about students or young writers.
3) The credits are presented in a simple, handwritten text style with diegetic writing sounds, contrasting the flashy fonts of many 1990s films and suggesting a documentary or authentic feel.
Media( thriler opening ) coursework
Seven is a 1995 thriller film directed by David Fincher about two detectives, Mills and Somerset, investigating a serial killer murdering people based on the seven deadly sins. The opening sequence uses close-up shots and montage editing to hint at religious themes and build tension, with unsettling sounds like heartbeats and screams. Titles are shown in a jagged, scratched font to relate to the killer and imply lives end quickly. Overall the atmosphere is creepy through the visuals and sounds used.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Assignment 2 ots conventions (penny dreadful)
- 1. Assignment 2: Conventions of opening title sequence. By Toby Prichard, Josh Gibson, Liam Cornwall-Tombs and Mykola Serbov. Opening title sequence: Penny dreadful
- 2. The first convention is the “Film title” which as you can see clearly displays the name of the film OTS conventions (Liam) Another convention is credit film company, which means it displays the company that made the film. This also tells you a lot about the film, if it is some company like Warner Brothers you expect to see a big block buster. Credit actors is another convention. This means it shows who the main characters are. This is important as if it is someone who is famous in comedy you know it might be a comedy film. It also tells you if it is a good film as the actor would not accept a bad one. There are also credit cast members which just mean it shows who the cast are. This is mostly the same as credit actor because if some one is famous for music in films you know that the music aspect of the film will be good. It would also be the same for director and other roles.
- 3. Sound is also a convention, it plays a very important part as it helps the audience tell what genre it is. It also sets a mood for the film for example a slow and tense music would be associated with horror. It can also be used to set up audience expectations, practically if the film belongs to a well know franchise. Another convention is enigma they are used in a opening sequence to help create questions and tension from the start to entice the audience. It also keeps the audience interested in the film and wanting to find the answers and keeping the audience hooked on the film It also try’s to establish the films genre. Within the opening the audience should be able to establish the genre of the film due to key genre conventions. For example in a psychological thriller they would use low key lighting for tension, eerie music and the colour black, grey and red for death and danger. Establishing the characters is a convention as it shows the characters importance and place in the film. It is also an enigma as we don't know who they are. So this creates questions as we see them like who, what, why, etc.
- 4. MYKOLAS BIT
- 5. MYKOLAS BIT
- 6. Penny Dreadful use of conventions (Josh) Enigma- as mentioned in the first section, penny dreadful uses enigma in order create mystery and questioning for the audience. Quick clips that show religious imagery and use of low key lighting help to provide this sense of mystery. Score Music- penny dreadful OTS uses a fast paced violin lead orchestra. This sets the genre as the music sets a tense and mysterious atmosphere. Text-text used in the OTS uses the font BELL MT. the bell MT font helps set the time period as it gives a Victorian esc look to the text. Character- in this OTS the characters are established with the use of animals. First showing the animal in the frame followed by the character. This helps set the genre of monster horror
- 7. Not useful for penny dreadful (Josh) Crediting studio- penny dreadful OTS does not have the convention of studio crediting. This is mainly due to the series belonging to sky and only being aired on channels owned by sky. 3rd person narrative- this OTS doesn’t require a 3rd person narrative to introduce any information to the audience. This is mainly due to penny dreadful being a TV series meaning that the OTS remains constant as new information is revealed during the show. This convention only really applies to films where there is only a one off OTS.
