Film Studies Overview
This document provides an overview of the GCSE Film Studies course, outlining the key areas of study, assessment objectives, coursework requirements, and exam structure and content. The course is divided into three study areas - film language, film organizations, and film audiences. Students will complete four pieces of coursework worth 50% of the grade, focusing on topics like textual analysis, film pitching, pre-production, and film production. The remaining 50% comes from two exams, one exploring disaster films and the other exploring a non-Hollywood film through character analysis, sequence analysis, and a creative response.
Iconography in film and television
Iconography describes the visual language and symbols used within film genres to represent certain settings and themes. Iconography plays an important role in establishing the genre through common objects and visual cues audiences have come to expect for that style of film, such as dusty roads and horses for westerns or young girls and uses of lighting for horror films. These iconic images and symbols that represent the genre are called the iconography of the mise-en-scene.
Camera techniques shots and angles
This document discusses various film techniques related to shots, angles, and focus. It begins by explaining the rule of thirds in composition and then defines different basic camera shots like close-up, mid-shot, and long shot based on how much of the frame a person or object fills. It also discusses different camera angles like low angles, high angles, and Dutch angles. Finally, it covers various aspects of focus like depth of field, shallow focus, and zoom lenses.
A study of parallel indian cinema in coherence
Parallel Indian Cinema refers to an alternative genre of Indian cinema that emerged in the 1990s as a response to commercial films. This genre focuses on serious socio-political themes and realistic portrayals of modern issues and dilemmas through naturalistic characters. Some key aspects covered include adaptations of literary works into films, themes around modern man's alienation and social/political issues, and independently produced English-language films. The document provides many examples of films that exemplify these characteristics of Parallel Indian Cinema and its exploration of contemporary Indian society.
Psycho 1960
Psycho is a 1960 horror film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, based on the novel by Robert Bloch. It tells the story of Marion Crane, who is murdered by Norman Bates after stealing money at a motel he owns. The film is known for its innovative editing techniques and shocking shower scene murder of the main character. Hitchcock aimed to subvert audience expectations through twists and surprises, most notably killing off the main character early in the film. The film was a major box office success and is considered one of the most influential films in the horror genre.

History of film editing
Film editing has evolved since its early beginnings. Some key figures in the development of film editing include Edwin Porter, who created one of the first edited films with multiple shots in 1902. D.W. Griffith experimented with close-ups and match cuts to convey emotion. Russian filmmakers like Pudovkin, Eisenstein, and Vertov further developed editing theories in the 1920s based on juxtaposing images. Early editing equipment included splicers to cut and join film, and moviolas allowed viewing edited films. Modern nonlinear video editing uses computer software to edit digitized media files non-destructively.
Common camera movement and shots used in horror
The document discusses several common camera shots and movements used in horror movies. Close-ups are used to draw attention to important details and elicit emotions from viewers by focusing on characters or objects. Handheld camera shots mimic the feel of documentaries and add shakiness to create tension. Establishing shots provide context by introducing settings. Point-of-view shots allow viewers to see through a character's eyes. Zooming in on objects builds suspense and fear in audiences. These techniques are effective tools for horror directors to manipulate emotions and immerse viewers.
Auteur Theory (TV Y1)
Auteur theory originated in 1950s France and argued that films should be viewed through the vision of the director, who imprints their personal style and themes onto films. Key figures like Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard criticized traditional French cinema and promoted a more personal, improvised style with New Wave films. While influential, auteur theory overlooks collaboration and studio influence, and some directors like Peter Jackson are more accurately described as "metteurs en scene" rather than true auteurs.
Documentary and Reality TV - Essay
What is the relationship between documentaries and reality tv? This essay explores it in addition to the relationship to contemporary social and culture trends, exploring the audience interests in other people’s lives.
The french new wave
The French New Wave was a film movement that emerged in France in the late 1950s and 1960s. Inspired by young film critics writing for Cahiers du Cinema, it emphasized auteur theory and featured unconventional stylistic techniques like jump cuts, handheld camerawork, and location shooting. Directors like Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Chabrol, and Eric Rohmer made personal, politically-minded films that broke conventions and influenced global cinema.
Mise en scene 14.10.14
Mise-en-scene refers to all the visual elements that a director can control within a scene, such as setting, costumes, lighting, staging of actors, and props. These elements are used to convey meaning and direct the audience's attention. Key aspects of mise-en-scene include setting, which establishes time and place; costumes and makeup, which provide clues about characters; lighting, which sets mood and guides vision; and staging of actors and their movements. Directors manipulate these various visual elements of mise-en-scene to achieve different artistic goals for their films.
Introduction to Film and Media Studies: THE SHOT
This document provides an overview of different camera lenses, shots, movements, and framing techniques used in filmmaking. It discusses wide angle, telephoto, and fish-eye lenses and how they impact perspective. Shots made possible by these lenses are described, such as wide angle, telephoto, and zoom shots. Camera movements like panning, tilting, tracking shots using a dolly, crane shots, and the dolly-zoom shot are also outlined. The concepts of depth of field, shallow and deep focus, and rack focus are explained. Finally, different types of framing like symmetrical, high and low camera angles are covered.
Psycho powerpoint
Psycho was directed by Alfred Hitchcock and based on the novel by Robert Bloch. It starred Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, and Vera Miles. The film is known for its shocking shower scene murder of the character Marion Crane, played by Janet Leigh. Hitchcock builds suspense through techniques like the ominous music, lighting, and editing that leaves much to the imagination. He also surprises the audience by killing off the main character early in the film and shifting the perspective to Norman Bates, played by Anthony Perkins. The film is considered a masterpiece of the thriller genre for its innovative use of suspense and misdirection.
GCSE Film Studies Revision booklet
The idea behind this booklet is essentially to cover a broad range of topics and ideas related to both GCSE Film Studies exams but in a way that is very much revision: this booklet works best when you already have studied the individual films and topics needed and just need to revise those key ideas in a practical manner.
If you'd like to buy a copy please find here: https://iandoublem.sellfy.store/p/armbcq/
or here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12649950
Throughout you will see references to ’30 Days of Film Revision’: the original plan was to include 30 different tasks that could be completed one day at a time leading up to the day of the Component 1 exam. There are actually 31 activities in total now, in part because I added an extra day to relax, but also to include additional material that focuses on each exam in specific focus; these are the final “exam on a page’ resources you will find on pages 31 and 32.
When designing this booklet, I have done so with the methodology of recalling more generic, broad ideas at the beginning and then eventually becoming more focused and nuanced on specific films and possible exam questions. I also incorporated techniques related to spaced learning, interleaving and dual encoding and for this reason it may seem as though the tasks and ideas are being repeated or are revised once and then pop up again later on.
Finally, I find this booklet works best when printed and photocopied to A3 size allowing for more space to write, but it was designed and therefore works well, at A4 size, ideally as one complete booklet with a page completed each day.
Action adventure films intro
This document provides information about an exam section on action adventure films. It will involve watching a 3-5 minute clip from an action adventure film 4 times. Students can take notes during the last 3 viewings. They will then have 30-35 minutes to answer questions testing their understanding of genre, media language, and representation. The questions relate both to the clip shown and the action adventure genre as a whole.
Typical conventions of scifi
The document discusses the typical conventions used in science fiction trailers and films. It outlines elements like futuristic technology, conflict between good and evil, and dystopian societies that are commonly seen in the sci-fi genre. It also describes visual and technical conventions regarding costumes, props, camerawork, editing, sound design and music that sci-fi films employ to set the atmosphere and advance the story.
Distribution Media Studies
Lionsgate would be the best distribution company for the filmmaker's thriller film aimed at teenagers. Lionsgate specializes in distributing similar thriller and teen-focused films like The Hunger Games and Twilight franchises. They have experience marketing to the target teenage audience. While Paramount distributes some thrillers, they focus more on big budget blockbusters and look for well-known directors and actors. Lionsgate would be more open to distributing an independent thriller. If a distribution deal cannot be secured, self-distributing to film festivals could generate buzz but success is unlikely as most festival films do not find audiences and the festivals do not target the film's intended teenage demographic.
Film Noir
The document discusses the key characteristics and elements of film noir movies. It notes that the genre was influenced by German Expressionist films and was popular from the 1940s-1950s. Some common traits of film noir include dark themes, gritty urban settings, ambiguous characters, low-key lighting that creates high contrasts and shadows, and narratives focused on crime, suspense and fate. Iconic films like The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca exemplify the genre.
Single camera production
A single camera production involves filming a scene with one camera, which requires more editing but is cheaper than using multiple cameras. Single camera filming allows the entire process to be observed but limits what can be captured in each shot. Different types of dramas include drama series with seasons, drama serials with predetermined episodes, and single dramas that are standalone films/episodes. Story structures also vary, including linear storylines that progress chronologically versus non-linear storylines that jump between time periods. Proper lighting, camera angles, movement, sound, and editing are needed to effectively build scenes and tell a story in a drama.
The Final Girl Theory by Carol J. Clover
The document discusses Carol J. Clover's "final girl" theory about horror films. The theory proposes that slasher films usually have a sole female survivor who confronts and challenges the killer at the end of the movie. This "final girl" tends to be intelligent, curious, and determined to survive. Examples given include Laurie Strode from Halloween and Sidney Prescott from Scream. The character of Ginny from Friday the 13th Part 2 is analyzed as exemplifying the traits of the resourceful "final girl."
Auteur theory
This document discusses the concept of authorship in film studies. It explores what defines a film "author" and examines whether the director can be considered the author. The document traces the origins of auteur theory from Francois Truffaut's 1954 essay promoting analyzing films based on the director's vision. It discusses debates around whether Hollywood directors qualify as authors and challenges the theory faces in analyzing large-scale commercial films.
Genre research:- Psychological thrillers
A psychological thriller is defined as a fictional story that focuses on the unstable psychology and emotional states of characters. It often involves elements of mystery and drama and explores common themes of reality, perception, mind, existence, purpose, and identity. Key conventions include deceptive mind games, flashbacks, tense music, shadows, and confined spaces. Cinematography techniques like low-key lighting, quick camera movements, and montage editing are used to build tension and highlight a character's emotions.
Montage
This document provides an overview of montage in filmmaking. It defines montage as the process of selecting and editing separate film segments to form a continuous whole. It discusses different styles of montage used in American, Soviet, French, and German film. Sergei Eisenstein is discussed as a pioneer in narrative filmmaking and the use of montage to evoke emotions. His methods of montage including metric, rhythmic, tonal, overtonal, and intellectual montage are explained. Eisenstein's views on the features of film and his dialectic approach to film form through visual and audio-visual counterpoints are also summarized. His famous film Battleship Potemkin is discussed as an example that tested his mont
Auteur theory
The document discusses the theory of auteurism in film. It began in 1950s France where critics argued that directors had a personal creative vision that shaped their films, and that certain directors like Howard Hawks, Alfred Hitchcock, and Jean Renoir should be considered "auteurs". The theory was popularized by François Truffaut and other critics writing for Cahiers du Cinéma. It was later adopted by American critic Andrew Sarris and influenced how directors were analyzed. However, the theory was later criticized for overlooking collaboration and privileging the director's role too much.

This document discusses issues with sustaining agreements between Indigenous communities and corporations regarding major projects in Australia. While such agreements have provided opportunities for compensation, training, employment and enterprises, they often fail to deliver lasting benefits to communities. Agreements frequently do not align with community aspirations and capacity, and lack support for long-term implementation. Both communities and companies struggle with effective governance and management over the life of multi-generational projects. The document argues for a dual focus on negotiations and long-term implementation in order to sustain agreements and relationships over the life of projects.

Unit 12 pp
Psychological thrillers aim to keep audiences on edge by building tension throughout the film. Directors like David Fincher and Denis Villeneuve are revolutionizing the genre with their techniques. Specifically, Fincher uses camera movements and suspense to craft crime stories filled with tension. He keeps the camera at the character's eye level to give audiences their perspective and increase connection to characters in dangerous scenes. While James Wan makes popular but predictable horror films through cheap jump scares, director Ari Aster provides a unique vision in the genre.

Here are the key strengths and limitations I see for your project based on the information provided:
Strengths:
- Filming entirely at home gives more flexibility and time for production compared to filming in college.
- Having more time and a higher budget at home can allow for a higher production quality.
Limitations:
- Only having 3 actors (yourself and parents) will greatly limit the scope of any scenes requiring more actors. This could restrict certain story or scene ideas.
- A very small cast will make it challenging to depict realistic group/crowd scenes that are common in slasher films.
The home production environment provides more resources but the extremely limited cast could seriously constrain your creative vision and genre

Inspirational director- james wan
James Wan is an Australian film director known for directing horror films. He attended RMIT University and started making shorts with friend Leigh Whannell. Their short film led to them getting funding for their first feature, Saw (2004), which was a major success and launched the popular franchise. Some of Wan's other notable films include Dead Silence (2007), The Conjuring (2013), and Furious 7 (2015). Wan uses techniques like close-ups, rapid cuts, and camera movements to build tension and elicit fear in audiences.
Research presentation
This document presents research on film director James Wan and analyzing him as an auteur. It examines three of his films - Saw (2004), Dead Silence (2007), and The Conjuring (2013) - to show consistency in his auteur features, thematic preoccupations, and collaborations over his career. The research will focus on these three aspects: distinctive visual style, recurring motifs like death and spirituality, and regular collaborations with screenwriter Leigh Whannell and cinematographer John R. Leonetti.
Horror genre research
The document discusses conventions used in the horror films Psycho, Saw, and Paranormal Activity. It notes that Psycho relied on isolated settings, sound effects, shadows and silhouettes to build tension, and introduced the idea of a human antagonist. Saw focused on graphic violence, gore, and shock value over psychological elements. Paranormal Activity used found footage and built tension gradually through supernatural activity escalating each night, playing on psychological fears without blood or weapons.
James wan (pro forma)
This document discusses film director James Wan and his techniques in horror films. It provides background on Wan's career starting with low-budget student films that became major franchises. Wan is praised for his ability to generate suspense through techniques like silence before scares rather than music. The document also reviews analyses of Wan's work that highlight his use of color, familiar actors, and playing on common fears. Research on existing videos about Wan and horror films in general is presented, discussing both praise and criticism of modern approaches.
Unit 12 pp (2)
The document discusses several directors known for psychological thriller films. It focuses on David Fincher and Denis Villeneuve, praising their use of suspense, tension-building, and unique camera techniques. Specific films like Fight Club, Seven, Enemy, and Mindhunter are analyzed for how they effectively create unease and keep audiences on edge. Imagery in Enemy involving spiders is highlighted as particularly shocking.
Film trailer overview
1) Horror film trailers use conventions like setting films in suburban homes and including jump scares and stings to effectively frighten audiences.
2) Details like costumes, props, and body language in the mise-en-scene help audiences engage with the narrative and understand what is happening.
3) Horror trailers aim to disturb and intrigue audiences using conventions like sans-serif fonts, dark imagery, and leaving questions unanswered to encourage viewers to see the full film.
Horror Genre research
The document discusses the horror movie Saw and analyzes its conventions, such as its reliance on graphic violence and shock value over psychological tension. It also examines Saw's lack of character development and jumping straight into graphic scenes without setting the mood first. The success of Saw helped launch the torture porn subgenre of horror films in the 2000s that focused heavily on depictions of graphic violence.

Risk Assessment
The document outlines various logistical considerations for filming a video project in January at night. It discusses planning for cold weather, using public transportation late at night, safely filming at high locations near edges, and filming in public places at night to reduce safety risks but potentially deal with pedestrians. Precautions include bringing a portable heater, layers of clothing, a tripod for steady shots, alternative transportation, and being cautious and observant while traveling.
Uk Tribes Research
The document outlines 5 UK music tribes: 1) AlternativeTribes who prefer punk rock and EDM and focus on independence and authenticity, 2) MainstreamTribes who listen to top 40 radio and stick to familiar mainstream artists, 3) Leading EdgeTribe who focus on new trends and creating their own music mixes, 4) UrbanTribes linked by inner city life who support local talents and enjoy genres like R&B, grime and rap, and 5) AspirantTribes who constantly seek out new experiences and are early adopters active on social media.
Frith’s 3 Typologies
Frith identifies 3 types of music videos: performance videos consist solely of the artist performing the song to showcase their talents; narrative videos tell a story that relates to the song's lyrics through actors and scenes; conceptual videos have obscure, multiple meanings that evoke moods rather than follow narratives, seen in Sia's "Elastic Heart" video of people dancing in a cage.
Carol Vernallis Theory
Carol Vernallis' theory discusses three key aspects of music videos:
1) Narratives in music videos loosely follow the lyrics of songs through disjointed visuals that show parts of a story without a clear conclusion.
2) Editing in music videos breaks traditional continuity rules by making cuts noticeable and sync with the beat of the song.
3) Camera work in music videos uses shots like close-ups and establishing shots that are framed and move in ways influenced by the music's beat.
Question #7
The document discusses lessons learned from creating a film opening sequence. It summarizes that continuity editing is important to make cuts seem seamless. Specific shots like match cuts and point-of-view shots can engage audiences and advance the story. Sound effects and music can effectively set mood and atmosphere. Special effects were added to establish themes and genre and increase quality. Certain close-up shots can direct audience focus and show character emotions.
Evaluation: Question #6
1) In pre-production, the document uses Google for research, an iPhone to record initial ideas and interviews, and PowerPoint, Word, Prezi, and Paint to present findings. YouTube is used to post initial videos and interviews.
2) During production, a Panasonic camera and tripod are used to film shots, while an iPhone records behind-the-scenes videos and vlogs which are edited in iMovie.
3) Post-production uses Final Cut Pro to edit the opening sequence, After Effects for visual effects and the title sequence, 4D Cinema makes the text 3D, and USB/SD cards transfer files between devices.
Evaluation Question #3 Distribution Companies
Distribution companies market and promote films to make them available for consumers to view. They determine where films are shown in cinemas/theaters. For a small, independent horror film, RLJ Entertainment would be a good choice as they specialize in distributing such films. Releasing the film in late July to early August would be ideal, as this is when students finish school and have free time. Marketing the film on social media sites like Facebook and YouTube that target the intended younger audience would help promote and create buzz around the film.
Development of Company Ident
1) The document describes the process of creating an animated company ident using Adobe After Effects and Cinema 4D.
2) Key steps included creating a cloudy background effect in After Effects, modeling 3D reflective text in Cinema 4D, and combining the elements in After Effects with dramatic flash and explosion animations.
3) The final ident was rendered into video format.
Production Company Logo
The document discusses the logo and name chosen for a production company called Paradox Productions. The name was chosen because it is memorable and the meaning of "paradox" relates well to horror films. The logo depicts a vintage camera with the company name inside, representing film. It uses a simple black and white color scheme. The logo was designed in Adobe Fireworks to look like a 3D camera containing the name. An initial swirling logo design was replaced with the camera logo for being more relevant to film production.
Film Distribution Companies
The document discusses four potential film distribution companies for a small British horror film: Hammer Films, known for gothic horror films like The Woman in Black; Blumhouse Productions, which produces mainstream horror hits such as Paranormal Activity and Insidious but is American-based; RLJ Entertainment, a independent distributor of films from North America, UK and Australia such as Condemned; and Brain Damage Films, a US-based independent producer and distributor of horror and shock films like The Afflicted.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real life
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.

Media as a Mind Controlling Strategy In Old and Modern Era
Media as a Mind Controlling Strategy In Old and Modern Era
Case Study : James Wan
- 1. James Wan was born on the 27th of February 1977 and is an Australian film director, producer and screen writer. He has directed and produced many well known and generally quite successful movies. He is most known for his work in the horror genre as many of the films he’s worked on are horror based. These include the Insidious series, The Conjuring, the original Saw and Dead Silence. Although recently he has also directed the 7th instalment of the fast and furious franchise.
- 3. Overall he is quite a modern director with many different and new ideas which link very well to the conventions of the horror genre. Examples of his work include the iconic Clown Puppet known as “Jigsaw” from the Saw Franchise, “Billy” the puppet in Dead Silence, and the well known “Annabelle” Doll in the Conjuring. All these uses of puppets and dolls are examples of James Wan’s idea of using somewhat inanimate objects and putting a twist on them making and giving them a deadly and generally quite scary feel, very much like the “Chucky Doll” that was used in the 1988 movie Childs Play. This is a rather unique turn compared to the typical use of scary monsters or masked serial killers that old horror films tend to use. Altogether the use of these dolls are what makes much of his movies very memorable as they are very unique in their style and really evoke certain fears and ideas that weren’t as explored yet.
- 4. Across all his movies James Wan uses a whole range of techniques and styles to really engage the audience into the film they’re watching. Specially in his horror films he uses a wide range of camera shots and cuts to really grab the audience and immerse them into the movie. Examples of this are the constant close ups on character’s faces to really get and see the emotion of the character at that current moment. This really gets the audience to in many way empathise with the character, making them feel their fright and fear. Also the use of rapid sequencing in many of his films as tension builds up within the narrative really makes the audience feel on edge. Specifically in “The Conjuring” James really liked the idea of having a horror movie be based on a true story with real life events that happened to people that are still around today. This is why during the Conjuring he set out to make it as scary but also as realistic as possible so he worked alongside Lorraine Warren, a supernatural investigator and the person who the film is based on. This really helped him recreate the events of her story but also add the intensity and conventions that the horror genre is known for.
