The document discusses conventions used in opening title sequences. It describes conventions such as displaying the film title, crediting the film company and actors, using sound to set mood and genre, establishing mystery through brief clips ("enigma"), and establishing characters. The summary focuses on how these conventions are used in the opening title sequence for the TV show "Penny Dreadful". Specifically, it notes how enigma, tense music, Victorian-style text fonts, and pairing characters with animals are used to set the genre of monster horror and create mystery. It also explains that conventions like crediting the studio are not used since the show airs on a single channel.
Analysing titles
The document analyzes title sequences from three horror films to identify conventions:
The Exorcist uses a thin red font that connotes danger and blood, setting the ominous tone. Key roles like the director are listed first to emphasize importance. Few titles get straight to the film.
Insidious also uses a red font around a haunted house to interest viewers. It lists the most important roles like the director first. More detailed credits challenge conventions by further engaging audiences.
Final Destination 4's titles appear as characters died previously, keeping viewers entertained. The director's name comes last to associate them with the franchise. Unusual fonts and an x-ray effect make the titles scary while holding interest.

The document discusses how the opening of a horror film media product challenges conventions through its characterization and style. Specifically:
- It features a female antagonist, challenging the typical male antagonist. Her casual demeanor undermines the male detective's authority.
- It uses slower editing and more dialogue than typical fast-paced horror openings. Tension is built through the conversation rather than cutting.
- The title uses a plain font rather than a bold horror-related font, which challenges conventions.
- Other unconventional elements include the use of a clock ticking to indicate time passing, normal clothing rather than horror-themed costumes, and conveying horror through shots other than close-ups of props.
Q1
The document discusses how the media product challenges and develops conventions of real media products in the horror genre. It uses flashbacks and gruesome imagery like blood to distinguish scenes, drawing from films like Bonnie and Clyde. Props like knives and cigarettes also help establish the horror and film noir genres. Character archetypes and settings like the abandoned warehouse are conventional. While the editing pace challenges conventions by being slower, the camera work and sound design are generally conventional for horror.
Seven poster analysis
This poster analysis discusses two movie posters for the film Seven (1995). The first poster has a dark color scheme of copper and black, with the shadowy faces of Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt side by side, representing the old character training the new. It lists the seven deadly sins in the center and below the title explains the sins are the ways people will be killed. The second poster has a more abstract layout using orange, white, black and brown. The colors on the faces may represent the characters as the light in the darkness solving the murders. The red title and different fonts/colors of the sins emphasize the evil concept while the rusted background has connotations of abandoned places as the murder scenes.
Title analayis
This document analyzes title sequences from the horror films "Halloween" and "Dawn of the Dead" to understand effective horror title design. Key lessons learned include: setting credits in a precise billing order, linking title theme/colors to the film, making the film title stand out, including the distribution company logo upfront, and maintaining a consistent theme/strategy throughout. Analyzing these title sequences provided insights into crafting a suspenseful title design with a big impact that sets the tone for the film.

Izzy media work
The document analyzes and compares the company idents used in the teaser trailers for Suicide Squad, Taken, and The House at the End of the Street. For Suicide Squad, the Warner Brothers logo was modified to fit the dark tone of the film by changing the background and colors. In Taken, the main production company ident appears for 1.5 seconds within the first 3 seconds to emphasize its importance. The House at the End of the Street features two company idents that each display for 1 second near the beginning of the trailer.
Question 4
The document discusses audience research conducted on a student horror film. A questionnaire was administered after a screening to gauge audience understanding, opinions and reactions. While most understood the basic plot, some were confused about specific details like the identity of the murderer and the reason for questioning a character. However, the audience generally enjoyed the film and rated it as tense, with most saying they would recommend it. The research showed the film was mostly successful in engaging the target audience, but could have provided more clarity on some plot points.
Question 4
The document discusses research conducted on the target audience for a horror film project. It found that the core audience is 15-24 year old males who enjoy gaming and viral marketing. They prefer genres like thriller, gangster and horror films with gory elements. Research was conducted through questionnaires during production and a screening after to assess how well the audience understood the plot. The screening showed overall understanding was good, though some details like the murderer's identity could have been clearer. Most said they would recommend the film.
Horror movie poster analysis
This document analyzes the conventions and techniques used in horror movie posters, including The Conjuring, The Women in Black, The Sixth Sense, and Insidious. It finds that they typically use dark colors, feature the main character prominently, place the film title in a large, attention-grabbing font at the top, and include production details and release dates at the bottom. However, The Sixth Sense poster is noted as an exception for not including this background information. Overall, the analysis finds these posters employ consistent design elements to attract audiences for the genre.
Task 3
A trailer is a short video advertisement that provides sneak peaks of an upcoming film to generate interest. Trailers aim to show the best parts of the film in 2-3 minutes to entice audiences to see the full movie. Trailers follow a narrative theory called the "equilibrium theory" where there is initially a balance that is disrupted, characters recognize the disturbance, and try to fix it (though trailers do not show the actual resolution). Company logos and identifiable titles are included to establish the producers and genre. Music and sounds are carefully selected to set the mood and build tension, often changing when something unexpected occurs. The goal is to attract audiences and create intrigue around the story without revealing the entire plot.
Textual analysis of action film trailers
The document analyzes three film trailers - The Avengers, Lucy, and The Hunger Games - to identify common codes and conventions. It finds that trailers typically include the production company logo at the beginning, save the film title for the end, and use techniques like music, voiceovers, and shots to immerse viewers in the narrative. The document also notes trends like including social media links at the end to encourage online discussion of the upcoming film.
Question 6
The document discusses how the group used a blog to collaboratively plan and improve their horror film project. They posted planning updates and received feedback to strengthen their work. Through analyzing example horror film openings, they learned conventions like typography, color, and plot elements to incorporate. They filmed across four locations using a DSLR camera and equipment for stable shots. Editing challenges like desaturating footage and stabilizing shots were overcome. They chose simple title designs and added visual effects to denote flashbacks.
Evaluation question 1
1) The media product uses and develops conventions from real horror films in its title sequence, plot, locations, camerawork, editing, costumes, props, and sound design. However, it also challenges some conventions.
2) Specifically, the vague title leaves the content ambiguous, unlike most horror titles. Additionally, the film is set in 1940s rural England during WWII, an unconventional historical setting for a horror genre.
3) Throughout the film, conventions from influences like Silent Hill, The Ring, Woman in Black, Se7en, and Ginger Snaps are employed, but original elements like the ominous church scenes and abrupt cut before the murder also provide surprises.

1) The media product uses and develops conventions from real horror films in its title, plot, locations, camerawork, editing, costumes, props, and sound design. For example, it has a mysterious title like Silent Hill and a build up to murder in the plot like The Ring.
2) Some conventions are challenged, such as cutting before showing the actual murder rather than displaying it. The time period setting of WWII for a horror film is also unconventional.
3) Unique techniques include using a Vera Lynn song to set the time period and foreshadowing a murder in the title credits, though these ideas were not found in the research. Overall conventions from films like The Woman in Black and Se7
Task 1
This document provides explanations for 9 screenshots from a student film project. The screenshots show the opening distribution company logo, CCTV-style footage of the antagonist in dark clothing to seem menacing, edited shots setting the scene and showing locations without revealing identities, examples of the bold title design, definitions linking the title "Hidden" to the concealed antagonist, the antagonist studying a map, using a prop phone, and reading a prop newspaper with added effects before walking away into the distance at the end. The screenshots and explanations aim to establish tone and mystery around the unrevealed antagonist for the thriller film.
Script da lip
The film is titled "Morvor", which comes from the Estonian translation for "Murder". This portrays the main character Frank in a negative light, fitting the detective thriller genre. The title is placed at the end of the teaser trailer to build tension and be memorable. It is also larger in font size than other text to make a bigger impression. Costumes for the main characters include casual clothes like jeans and coats to match recent similar films from the late 80s to now within the genre. Camera work focuses on close-ups during conversations to create tension without the audience realizing, as seen in films like "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Prisoner".
Title research
This document summarizes and analyzes the opening title sequences of three films: Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Breakfast Club, and Superbad. For Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the text pops up suddenly to engage audiences and hints at Ferris's antics through its sudden and frantic appearance. For The Breakfast Club, the order and sizes of text establish importance and don't reflect the film's narrative well due to strange colors and sharp fonts. For Superbad, the actors' names appearing randomly symbolize the film's frantic theme through simple text that captures its naivety but fails to grab attention due to being boring.

The title relates directly to the film's subject of darkness and power cuts. Typography uses a dripping red font that conveys danger and blood. The setting of an isolated rural house makes characters vulnerable. Costumes are normal teen clothes, and camerawork uses point-of-view shots and parallel editing to create tension. The opening scene and overall storyline follow conventions of stalking victims and paranormal events in a stereotypical horror structure. Throughout, the film relies on common horror techniques to suggest its genre to audiences.

The trailer also establishes rivalry between the main character and another dancer without providing full context, leaving the audience wanting more information. Text cards advertise the film's stars, directors, and release date to generate interest. Overall, the trailer employs standard thriller conventions to engage viewers through mystery, psychological distress, and a sense that more of the story remains untold.

C:\Users\Kerfi\Documents\Media Question 1
The opening sequence is a 1-2 minute montage depicting the kidnapping of a child in a way that distorts time and creates tension. It follows conventions of psychological thrillers through graphic torture scenes, a dark and isolated setting, and close-ups that emphasize the child's emotions without showing the antagonist. Elements like flickering text, rough cuts, and an unsettling soundtrack aim to confuse the audience and suggest the film's physiological genre.

The trailer also creates mystery by not fully revealing the threat to the family.
3. research(1)
Here are some key observations and insights from the survey results so far:
- The audience is mostly younger (16-19), so the trailer should appeal to that demographic. Trends in their answers may reflect generational preferences.
- Most don't watch trailers very often, only when exposed through ads or at the cinema. The trailer needs to stand out and compel viewers who aren't actively seeking them out.
- Comedy and horror are the most commonly watched genres. The trailer should take cues from successful examples in those genres to feel familiar yet intriguing.
- Emphasizing the comedy element may help broaden the potential audience given those genres' popularity. Striking a balance that still conveys the horror aspects will
Real media research
The document analyzes the opening sequences of 5 thriller films - The Dark Knight Rises, Memento, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Se7en, and an unnamed film - to identify conventions used in thriller openings. It finds that thriller openings often use dark colors and lighting, ominous music, vague hints about the plot or characters to build tension and mystery, and stereotypical protagonists to set expectations for the genre. They aim to prepare audiences for danger and elicit feelings of fear, suspense and uncertainty through visual and audio techniques without revealing too much of the story.
Mala Part 4
The document discusses the use of forms and conventions in the media product's narrative, sound, continuity and editing. Music is used to set the tone and pace of the thriller genre. The opening music signifies a fast-paced thriller with hospital sounds and a female voice to appeal to female audiences. Sound mixing and both diegetic and non-diegetic music are used to manipulate time and create tension. The narrative subverts expectations through nonlinear editing and a protagonist with dissociative identity disorder. Techniques like foreshadowing, red herrings and arbitrary signs are employed to establish mystery and intrigue.
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.

Assignment 2 ots conventions-2
- 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. Ots convections explained Mykola All of the text used in the opening title was in the same style and was placed on dark blue/black background. The meaning behind that is too create a dark theme while switching the screens. The colour of the text is grey, making the text look darker. The colour white would be easier to see, but they have used the grey colour to make it too look corrupted instead of “pure” In the animation there have been used special effects to create a “poisonous” and deadly atmosphere. That is created by the use of different animals and insects representing the people in the show. For example you can see that to the right where this person to the right is represented by the spider. They use filters to give this an even eerier feeling and give a feeling of disgust to the audience.
- 5. Compare to the ots in the starter Compared to the start there aren’t many differences in the different convections, therefor I have decided to focus on the text and its colour alone. The different meaning which we can compare to the start would be the colour of the text, which can represent things such as the atmosphere of the series. Another thing would be that in this font the of text the all in upper case showing the strong personality of the characters. The last convection about the text was that it was written in “BELL MT” which also helps to represent the time period its from.
- 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.
- 8. Are the conventions in your OTS typical in films of the same genre? Why or why not? (Toby) • the conventions in our OTS are typical to a degree for films of the same genre. This is because for a thriller/horror film they want you to know as little as possible about the story while in TV Series of the same genre they want you to know basic things to do with the show. The conventions of the actors names and the setting are displayed . This is because TV series and Films serve different purposes and must therefore follow conventions respectively. The shiningSilence of the lambsPenny dreadful
- 9. Evaluate the effectiveness of the OTS (Toby) • The opening title sequence was effective as it draws in the viewer and shows them what the show is about. It shows the theme, characters, actors and the genre without spoiling the show. It is done quickly and sets the scene for the rest of the show.
