This document evaluates how a student media project challenges conventions of typical thriller/horror films. It compares the project's use of conventions like titling, camerawork, framing, lighting, editing, sound, and narrative structure to well-known films like Se7en. While some conventions like jump cuts and costume colors were used conventionally, the project uniquely used a lullaby for its non-diegetic sound and revealed the villain earlier than expected, challenging thriller norms. The analysis finds the project effectively uses juxtaposition between the innocent lullaby and darker plot involving child victims.
The document discusses how the media product uses and develops conventions of real horror media, while also challenging some conventions. Specifically:
- Flashbacks and lighting are used similarly to "The Lovely Bones" film to distinguish different time periods.
- Shot types like close-ups and music choices develop conventions to better fit the story and provoke emotional reactions.
- Social media is leveraged for promotion in line with how other horror films advertise, but the content challenges expectations to attract a younger audience.

It then summarizes four documentaries that the author watched: "Playing God" which discusses advances in biological engineering; "China's Ghost Army" about the Terracotta Army; "World's Scariest Drug" profiling a dangerous drug known as "Devil's Breath"; and "Twilight of the Porn Stars" examining the decline of the porn industry. Conventions used across the documentaries included the use of presenters, interviews with experts, dramatizations, and music to set tone.
This document discusses revisions and decisions made for the third draft of a group opening sequence project. It describes changing plans for filming curtains opening due to light issues, using a TV instead of laptop for a shadow scene, ideas for new storyboards, scripts, shotlists, and effects. It also mentions making the character look more nerdy with glasses and plain clothes, and putting titles on screen during footage rather than a separate black title screen.
This document discusses revisions being made to a student filmmaking assignment. It describes decisions made in drafting the opening sequence, including removing a shot of curtains opening due to lighting issues, and changing a shadow being seen on a laptop to a television. New ideas for shots and storyboards are presented. Changes will be made to the character's appearance and using title cards over footage rather than on a black screen.
The document outlines ideas for a student film scene involving a conversation between two characters about incomplete work that leads to a conflict. It discusses using techniques like the 180 degree rule and match on action during shooting and editing. A breakdown is provided of 12 potential shots describing the type of shot, what it shows, and any necessary props.
Film distribution companies are responsible for releasing films to the public through cinema screenings or home video releases like DVD. There are different types of distributors that specialize in certain genres or budget levels. For a low-budget British film that wouldn't require expensive stunts or be a major blockbuster, the author considered smaller, low-budget British distributors would be the best fit to target the film's audience.
The document discusses creating an opening sequence for a horror film about a teenage girl who is haunted by a ghost in her new home, examining improvements made to characters, locations, and narrative structure from a previous draft. Film distribution options of Lions Gate Entertainment and Film4 are also considered due to their experience with independent and thriller films.
This document contains job descriptions for various roles on a film production crew, including First Assistant Director, Director of Photography, Director, Camera Operator, and Art Director. Abigail describes her role as First Assistant Director which involves assisting the director and keeping the production organized. Joanne's role as Director of Photography is to ensure the visual elements are pleasing and help set the mood. As Director, Gledis is overall in charge of the opening sequence and overseeing others' work. The Camera Operator and Art Director roles are also summarized.
A preliminary task is an opportunity to practice different camera shots and plan an opening sequence. A good example used transitions between a variety of shots and angles and had smooth camera movement. It also included a creative credit effect. While the camera movement wasn't perfectly smooth, it was rated a 3 for including most essential elements. A bad example relied on one constant shot for most of the task and had continuity errors. It was rated a 2 for lacking variety. The importance of including a range of shots to keep the viewer engaged was learned.
Tron: Legacy was a large-scale film from 2010 that used CGI in innovative ways compared to typical films. Specifically, it used CGI to create one character that interacted with real-life actors on set, rather than using full CGI for the entire film like in Happy Feet. This allowed them to blend practical and virtual elements in a new way for the film.
Narrative & film theory research assignment 7 (edited)Abbbiiieeeeeeeee
The document discusses several narrative film theorists and the concepts they introduced for analyzing the structure and elements of narratives. Tzvetan Todorov suggested that stories follow a pattern of equilibrium, disequilibrium caused by some event, and a new equilibrium. Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian folktales and identified character archetypes like villains, dispatchers, donors, and heroes. Claude Levi-Strauss looked at binary oppositions in narratives. Examples are given of how the Princess and the Frog and Sleeping Beauty follow some of these theorists' concepts.
The document summarizes the 2008 comedy film Step Brothers. It describes the plot about two middle-aged men who still live at home with their parents after their parents get married. It provides details on the film's production budget, production companies, theatrical and home distributors, box office earnings, and merchandising of quotes from the movie on t-shirts.
The document discusses potential inspirations for an opening sequence from 5 films: Breakfast at Tiffany's, Let the Right One In, Chicago, Zodiac, and Mildred Pierce. Specific scenes and elements are highlighted from each film, including costumes, locations, lighting, characters, and mood. These inspirations will be drawn from to create an original opening sequence that combines different elements from the films.

2. Joanne.
For my Assignment 8 project, I obtained a grade .
The skill I bring to the group is my imagination and
quick thinking to solve problems and contribution to
concepts and ideas.
Some targets I have made for myself are to:
Add more visuals to my work and use less words.
Sometimes go into greater depth with my explanations.
3. Gledis.
In assignment 8 I received a grade.
From this assignment I leant:
How to apply elements and ideas used in other films and
opening sequences to my own opening sequence. I also learnt
the significance of making my opening sequence appealing to
my target audience.
The skills that I bring to the group are :
Creativity
My attention to detail and perfectionism
My ambition to get things done
Targets that I have set myself are:
It is very important to organise my slides and information
neatly so that they are understood by my audience.
It is essential that I include more images and diagrams rather
that too much text
I must speak louder when presenting my work to an audience.
4. Abigail.
I received a on Assignment 8.
I learnt about the importance of props and makeup as
well as how to properly design a brainstorm.
I bring creativity and organisation to my group. These
skills will be particularly useful when we make the
opening sequence.
I want to improve the design of my presentation and
work on writing briefer sentences.
5. Vera.
I received grade because I was missing a piece
of my presentation.
What I learned from this assignment is that i need to
improve more on my PEE.
The skills I bring to the group is my range of new ideas
to help make a good opening sequence.
My targets to improve my individual presentation is to
obtain a grade C or above.
6. Joanne.
My choice in theme was Thriller and my concept was
identity.
My idea for my opening sequence was:
An unknown main character who the audience knows
nothing about is shown.
A second character who knows the identity of the unknown
character is shown.
A dead body in a body bag is being dragged across the
floor.
There is then an extreme close up of a woman screaming.
A black out, followed by a woman being grabbed. (Taken)
7. Gledis.
The theme of my opening sequence is the supernatural /discovery.
The concept of my opening sequence is being haunted and
terrorised by ghosts and spirits.
Main idea:
The main character (a student) runs up the staircase to the top floor of the school.
(close up of feet running) A long shot from the end of the hallway of the character as
she reaches the top
As she walks down the hallway, incoherent, but loud whispering can be herd coming
from the walls.
In between shots flashing images of newspaper articles will appear revealing that the
school used to be a mental institution and something happened involving a patient.
She continues walking. At this point the character is very frightened and shaking. All
the doors begin to slam by themselves. The students drops her folder from the
shock.
She notices blood on a door knob, opens it with her sleeve and follows a trail of blood
to the cupboard door. As she opens the door, high pitched music to plays, what she
sees is not revealed you only see her reaction.
8. Abigail.
The theme of my opening sequence is obsession and the concept
was the idea of serial killers.
The office worker is working late at the office following the latest
murder. A colleague leaves them to it and exits the scene
You see this from the killers POV who is silently watching from afar.
The writer slowly starts to pack up and suspense building music will
start. As they close their office door and turn down a series of
corridors, a dark figure hides behind one of the corners and blocks
their way.
A series of camera angles will be used to film the killer stabbing the
writer and as they die, the killer pulls out a camera to take a
picture.
The final part of this opening sequence is a cut to the killer sitting
at a desk and printing the picture and carefully placing it in his
scrapbook and slowly closing it as the scene ends.
9. Vera.
What went well is that I had a lot of images to support
my presentation and have improved more on my work.
It would’ve been even better if I included my PEE
structure.
The film that inspired me is Precious because it has
abuse in it e.g. Sexual and emotional which helps a lot
because my chosen idea was drama.
10. Genre:
Thriller
We have decided to use the genre Thriller.
We want to use this genre effectively by using a number
of conventions such as crime, possession, haunting and
revenge. We will use these conventions by using them in
our opening sequence to thrill our audience which meets
the conventions of a thriller.
11. Conventions of Thrillers...
Conventions Example Image Use/Develop/
Challenge
Fatal Use- Someone
Attraction becoming
obsessed after a
relationship
Challenge – using
a female as the
Stalkers/ stalker instead of
Obsession a male.

14. My Inspirational Films
Paranormal Activity
The characters use of
research of their
haunting and finding
other similar
happenings is what we
took inspiration from
and what we hope to
use efficiently in our
sequence
15. Inspirational Films
What I found
Inspirational
about this scene is
the kind of
lighting they used
through out the
more dark scenes
emphasises the
emotions of the
actor /actress
16. Inspirational Films
Black Swan
What I found
inspirational from this
movie is the use of
close up shots which
was clearly present in
this film
It gives a clear picture
of the characters
emotions and helps
the audience to
connect with the
character by seeing
their emotions so
closely.
17. Films that have inspired me…
The film that inspired me most is ‘The Ring’
I want to use a similar long shot in our opening sequence.
It’s an effective way of keeping the audience’s attention to the puddle of water
whilst showing the character come up the stairs.
I also want to use a fast zoom in our opening sequence.
18. Use of costume and make-up in ‘The
Ring’
Quite frightening to look at and an effective way of scaring the
audience.
The lighting throughout the whole movie is kept more or less the same.
This creates a very eerie and creepy atmosphere in the movie, common
in most horrors and thrillers.
I want to use dark lighting in our opening sequences .
19. Films that have inspired me…
Another film that inspired me was ‘The Haunting in Connecticut ’
Its paranormal theme has inspired me to make my opening sequence about
a haunting.
Slamming doors…
It especially inspired me to set my opening sequence in a building that’s
haunted. E.g. a haunted house.
I would like to use old newspaper
articles such as this to briefly show the
history of the area.
20. Films that have inspired me…
A scene from ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ also inspired me.
Close up of hand reaching into crib

.
Allows imagination It never shows what Close up of

the audience reaction. emphasises her
uneasy. shock, and horror at
what she sees.
21. My Inspirational Films
This film is inspirational
Gothika
because of the scratch
marks and engravings
that the ghost leaves on
her arms is similar to the
idea we had about our
character waking up with
the same marks that the
ghost had when she
died.
22. My Inspirational Films
I found this movie
Paranormal Activity
inspirational because
the characters used
their own camera to
document their
experiences, which I
thought would be a
good addition to our
opening sequence with
our character doing
the same.
23. My Inspirational Films
The Grudge The ghost in this film
is trying to get
revenge for her
death, which is just
like with our film
where our ghost is
trying to avenge her
own death.
24. IMAGES AND SCENES FOM CABIN

25. The movie has some kind of
old fashioned humour to it
which makes it more

the audience.
In this scene the lighting was
very dime which makes it more
scary because it emphasis
death, danger and fear. It
creates suspense to the
audience as they don’t know

29. How we got down to one
brainstorm...
After meeting and discussing our idea, we decided that
our first brainstorm was more suited to our opening
sequence.
This first brainstorm carried the theme idea of revenge
and the concept idea of possession.
Using the trigger words, we formed our opening
sequence.
30. Theme/Concept
The way in which we came down to one idea is as we
like Gledis’s idea but had problems with the choice of
set being the school
We later added elements from Abigail's opening
sequence and developed on that
There were some bumps in the road as to the ending of
the sequence but after meetings we came up with
solutions
31. Idea Development Option
We stripped down our opening sequences and identified
the good points and the bad points. After also identifying
the problems that we may have with filming in certain
locations, we decided to structure our opening sequence
to our advantage.
We thought that filming only in one location and
thinking about what is achievable in this one location
whilst also being aware of the different limitations would
be best.
32. Idea Development Option
We also briefly discussed who would do what role and
how everyone would contribute.
We decided on an actress and the discussions about who
will do the other roles still needs to be discussed.
33. Our New Idea!
After feedback, we decided to do option 2 which was to
collaborate multiple ideas into one idea.
We collaborated Gledis’ idea and Abigail’s idea and
then developed it further.
And this is the product...
34. The whole film
It starts with the opening sequence, where strange ghostly
things are happening to the main character.
The main character slowly begins to find out information
about who lived in her home before her. She attempts to tell
her family and friends but they dismiss it.
The main character has a series of close encounters with
the ghost. Whilst sleeping she dreams of its life in the home
she now inhabits.
The ghost possess the main character slowly. Thinking she
is on drugs, her family hosts an intervention for her. At this
intervention, she is fully possessed.
Her family and friends, whilst trying to restrain her,
collectively kill the main character and dispose of her body
in a house fire. The cycle continues, with the audience being
shown a family moving into a newly built home where the
main characters house used to be.
35. The opening sequence
The character is at her desk typing and researching ghosts,
hauntings and the history behind where her house is situated.
Suddenly, her television turns on by itself, she grabs her camera to
document this strange experience and this is seen from her point of
view.
After turning off the television, she walks back to her desk, and the
another person’s reflection is seen by the audience as they walk
past her television.
She hears another a noise coming from the drawer behind her, she
scrambles to find out what it is. She finds an old photograph in the
drawer that clearly doesn’t belong to her of a young girl wearing a
similar necklace to the character.
She hears a thump coming from downstairs, she rushes to find the
source of it, running through the corridors in her house she tracks
the noise down to the bathroom and she listens outside the door. As
she slowly reaches for the handle, someone else’s hand slams on
the glass door from the inside.
36. Enigma
The way we want to create enigma is through the combination of
sound and pace. The actress is never fully calm which also keeps
the audience on edge
The end of the opening sequence will leave the audience wanting
to know what happens next as the audience do not see what the
character sees.
37. Target Audience!
Age: It is aimed at 15+, this is because the main character in the
film is a teenager and a younger generation can relate to this because
it will appeal to them.
Location: the fact that it is set in London will appeal to a great
number of people who actually live in London. This is because the
audience will be able to relate to the character and the film and
therefore will be more affected by the film.
E.g. many people who live in London were terrified of using the
London Underground after watching the movie ‘Creep’ which is set in
Charing Cross tube station. This scared many people who used the
station, which is the major aim of a horror/thriller film.
Lifestyle: The movie itself is quite slow pace this doesn’t take away
from it’s excitement. Therefore our target audience would be people
who lead an active life and enjoy trills and sitting on the edge of their
seat whilst watching a movie. The mystery and enigma throughout
our film will appeal to our target audience.
38. Why Our Target Audience Will Be
Interested In Our Film!
The Idea: Our target audience will be interested in our idea because it is
thrilling and exciting and creates mystery (the history behind the house and the
ghost). This will intrigue our audience, because they will want to find out more.
The unexplained paranormal events that take place will interest people who
regularly watch thrillers
Form: We want to use very creep and eerie music in some parts then fast
pace violin music to create excitement. This will interest our audience because
the are aiming our film at thrill seekers. We also want to use quick cutaways to
create excitement and build up tension for the audience. (running through the
corridors). However will we also use smooth camera movements to build up
tension that will lead up to the climax at the end.
Conventions: We are targeting our film at an audience who regularly watch
horrors and thrillers with conventions such as terror, and we will intrigue people
who enjoy being frightened by films.
We will include ghosts and spirits in order to attract an audience who are
interested in supernatural happenings and life after death. (Ghost girl). We
want to satisfy their interest in paranormal activities by including spirits and
weird unexplained events such as the TV switching on by itself.
39. Characters
We are using one main character who is seen, and someone to
play the ghost that is troubling our main character, who is unseen.
Gledis is playing this main character as she fits the profile. She is
the same age as we want our character to be, and so will play our
main character extremely well.
Gledis
40. Actor/Character Props/Costume
Gledis Character
The Others The Unborn
This character meets stereotypes of a helpless young girl who is haunted
by a ghost
Some movies in which this is displayed are listed above.
41. Location
We have two locations with this idea.
The first, is a bedroom in which all of these supernatural
things happen to the character in. There are no health
and safety risks in this location

on
the desk and her
working area.
44. Location
This location is nearly always accessible as its my room,
however, the only problem we may face with this
location is when we can film as my mother works from
home and noise from filming could be an issue.
We can get there from school by getting the 266 or 260
bus to Church Road and then a short walking distance,
where we’d have to cross four non-major roads.
45. Narrative
Our opening sequence has a linear narrative with
foreshadowing.
The structure of the opening sequence will not change,
its all in one place and at one time. Also, our character
will be researching ghosts, a series of hauntings etc
which hints at what will happen throughout the rest of
the film.
46. TVZETAN TODOROV( NARRATIVE FILM
THEORIST: NARRATIVE STRUCTURE)
Tvzetan Todorov is a Franco- Equilibrium: it is a narrative
Bulgarian philosopher. He that starts with a state of
lived in France since 1963 harmony, example a group of

children.
Disequilibrium: it is a world of
stability which involves
disruption, example when an
evil event happens to
character in a movie.
New Equilibrium: it is when
the evil in a movie is removed
and it restores harmony.
47. It contrast with

because it has some
disturbing images in
the middle the movie
This describes
equilibrium as it has This links with new
the character enjoying equilibrium as it

48. Binary Opposition: This is a
sophisticated but important idea that
will help you understand how ideas and
meanings are being shaped, created or
reinforced in a text. It is 'a theory of
meaning' and an idea that can be
applied to all texts; it is especially useful
when analysing poetry where meaning
has been 'compressed' into a very few
words.
49. This scene is clearly This particular scene
used to illustrate fear shows the audience a

propp’s theory. The villain (struggles
against the hero)
The donor (prepares the hero or
gives the hero some magical object)
The (magical) helper (helps the hero
in the quest)
The princess (person the hero
marries, often sought for during the
narrative)
Her father
The dispatcher (character who makes
the lack known and sends the hero
off)
The hero or victim/seeker hero,
reacts to the donor, weds the
princess
51. This scene shows a character
of a man losing his family
and ends up in an accident
as he tries to escape the true
world.
This scene shows the
character been played by this
woman as a care taker of the
sick or a doctor.
52. This genre links to the theories as the
themes used in all the theories are
included in the decision making, suspense,
disgust and fear been created by the
group.
