A long white sleeve t-shirt is selected to give the main character qualities of goodness and innocence so the audience sympathizes with him. Gray Nike SB trainers and jeans maintain a neutral emotion while also hinting at loss and darkness. A dark green/blue long sleeve jumper is casual clothing suitable for the season and time of year, with the colors representing ambition and power for the character it is chosen for.
Visual Character
This document summarizes the cast and characters for a film. It will feature a mainly female cast of teenagers to make it unique. The characters include a hysterical girl, nerdy girl, girly girl, a love couple, a strong male, and an antagonist. Both stereotypes and conventions will be followed and challenged to appeal to different audiences. Character profiles are provided for 6 main characters that fit the stereotypes, including their name, age, build, interests, and whether they are social or not. An extra character is also introduced.
Question 2
This document discusses how different social groups are represented in media. It analyzes representations of class, gender, and age in the author's thriller opening as well as in other films and TV shows. The main character in the opening is a dominant working class woman who is independent, going against stereotypes of women being weak and passive. Younger and older female characters are shown as middle class through their tidy appearance. An elderly character in Downton Abbey upholds stereotypes of upper class elderly women wearing luxurious materials.
Film Poster Deconstruction
The document analyzes three horror film posters, noting similarities in their design conventions. Common elements include the use of three main colors, positioning the title in the center third of the poster, featuring one main image, and not always including film characters. Deconstructing the individual posters revealed they create moods of danger, mystery and isolation through colors, lighting, fonts and positioning of images and text.
Psychological thriller poster
The document discusses conventions used in psychological thriller film posters. It provides two examples: the poster for Black Swan and the poster for Orphan. For both posters:
- The main image focuses on the protagonist's face to emphasize the mind of the characters.
- Dark colors and low lighting create an unsettling atmosphere.
- Reviews, actor/director names, and release dates are included for marketing.
- Imagery and text are purposefully designed to intrigue audiences and hint at themes in the films around ambiguity and good vs evil.
Ass 29 draft 333
This document discusses character inspiration and casting for an opening film sequence. It includes two main characters - Katherine, who will be portrayed as innocent and vulnerable, and Porphyria, who will be portrayed as dark, dominant, and mysterious. Makeup and costume inspiration is drawn from the film Black Swan. The same actor, Katia Martins, is cast to play both roles. Before and after photos are included to show how her look will be transformed between the two characters using makeup, hair, and costume.
Question 2 evaluation media
The document summarizes how different social groups are represented in the opening sequence of a media product. It represents the main character as working class based on her plain clothing. The antagonist is depicted as possibly upper class by her expensive coat. Both main characters are white to fit British horror conventions, though the antagonist has darker skin. The target age range is 16-25. Female characters only are included, with the protagonist and hero portrayed positively and the antagonist as powerful.

The target age range is 16-25. Female characters only are included, with the protagonist and hero portrayed positively and the antagonist as powerful.
Question 2 evaluation
This is my second evaluation question for my media product, looking at how social groups are represented in my film opening.
Task 2
The document discusses how the media product represents particular social groups through its use of mise en scene, camerawork, and editing. It shows the main female character as a stereotypical teenage girl through her bedroom décor and clothing. The antagonist is portrayed as the stereotypical villain by wearing black and hiding in the shadows. While the characters' ages differ from typical psychological thrillers, other conventions like these are followed to represent the genre.
Costume profiles
The document discusses costume choices for characters in a movie trailer, magazine cover, and poster. It describes 3 outfits chosen for the protagonist to convey her as the innocent good character, including light colors like beige and blue. Dark colors like black and greys were chosen for the antagonist to contrast and suggest her dark personality. Specific clothing pieces like a dark coat were selected for the antagonist to create stereotypical impressions for the audience about her character as a stalker. Costume was an important way to quickly convey the roles and personalities of each character within the short time of a trailer.

Evaluation question 2
The document discusses the effectiveness of combining a main product with ancillary texts. The author tried to use consistent conventions across their poster, magazine review, and short film to create synergy. Dark colors and similar themes were used throughout to make the products easily identifiable as related. While the poster and magazine review were largely successful due to their dark tones and legible text, the short film could be improved with better dialogue, camera quality, and a more representative poster image.
Magazine review analysis
The document summarizes features of a film review that effectively portray the horror genre and draw in audiences. Photographs of the main actors catch attention and set the mood with dark, cool tones. The film title stands out in blue against the black background, while the review text uses high-contrast white font. Features discussed copying include the dark background and white text to represent the genre, and using images to portray the genre and engage audiences.
Magazine
Beth Carberry's new short film "Behind The Screen" is set to be the short film of the summer. The film tells the story of two friends playing an online game together, when one character threatens the other and strange events start occurring in one of the character's homes alone. Through fast editing, unsettling music, and realistic portrayals of the characters, the film builds an eerie atmosphere and sense of unease in the audience. "Behind The Screen" addresses real dangers of online gaming and will keep viewers thinking about it for days after watching.
Evaluation question 1
This document summarizes the forms and conventions used in the creation of a short horror/thriller film media product. It discusses using Windows MovieMaker and Microsoft Word to edit footage and create marketing materials like a poster and review due to their ease of use. It also describes conventions of the horror genre incorporated into the film, such as low key lighting, dark colors, camera angles to convey emotion, and props like knives. The film challenges conventions by setting the modern-day story in the 21st century and basing it around video games instead of historic times.

Short film poster ideas
The document discusses elements of effective short horror film posters. It analyzes three example posters, noting that they use simple and mysterious designs that draw the audience in. Dark colors like black, grey, and blue help set the horror genre tone. Titles stand out against dark backgrounds in capital letters or white text. Just enough information is included at the bottom of the posters in smaller font to look authentic without distracting from the main visual elements. Overall, the posters discussed keep the designs simple while effectively representing the films and intriguing audiences.
Storyboard
This document is a storyboard that depicts two friends playing a video game together online through headsets. During their game, one character accidentally kills the other. The storyboard then follows one of the characters, Holly, alone at home where strange events start occurring that seem related to what happened in the video game. The storyboard ends with Holly being killed by the character she had killed online.
Locations for short film
The document describes four locations for a horror film: the protagonist's bedroom, living room, kitchen, and the stairs. The bedroom and kitchen will have low-key lighting to create an eerie feeling, while the living room will be brighter to represent the protagonist. Key scenes like the first one and the protagonist's death will take place in the bedroom and kitchen. The stairs will be used to get shots that make the antagonist intimidating and the protagonist seem vulnerable.
Locations for short film (draft)
The document discusses four potential film locations - a rural setting, the main character Joe's bedroom, the living room where Holly plays video games, and the kitchen. It notes that the rural setting adds isolation and strangeness, Joe's bedroom will have game posters and low lighting to seem eerie, and the living room will have bright windows to identify Holly as the protagonist.
Storyboard Draft 2
The storyboard depicts two characters playing a video game together online using headsets. One accidentally kills the other in the game, shown through close-ups of their facial reactions. They continue playing but strange events start occurring at one of the character's homes, like hearing knocking and finding no one there. A message then appears saying "open the door" and a figure with a knife confronts them, implying it is the other player seeking revenge for being killed in the game.
Rough Storyboard
Two friends play a video game together using headsets. One accidentally kills the other in the game, shown through close-ups of their facial reactions. Later, one character continues playing alone when they hear knocking at the door and windows. Messages then appear in the game telling them to open doors, and someone enters the house wielding a knife.
Shooting Schedule
This document outlines 43 shots for a short film involving two characters playing a video game online together. The shots include both characters in their separate homes as they play, with close-ups of their faces, hands and the game on screen. As they play, the game intensifies and Character 1 accidentally kills Character 2's player, angering them. Strange events then start occurring at Character 1's home, with someone knocking at their door and window at night.

Character Profiles
- 1. Character Profiles Name: Age: 17 Gender: Female Costumes: Dark blue jeans White or grey t-shirt Grey hoodie Converse trainers By using grey or white in the costumes it still fits in with the horror/thriller genre as the colours are dull and muted, but at the same time they are light so they show that the character is the protagonist. The use of the white will also help to show the innocence of the protagonist character. Makeup: Natural, simple makeup to make the character look more childlike and innocent. Other information: Name: Age: 18 Gender: Female Costumes: Black jeans Black t-shirt Black jacket Black boots By using black for everything in the costume it fits in with the horror/thriller genre as black us usually associated with this type of filmas it connotes evil and mystery which helps to portray the antagonist character better. The black in the costume will also blend in with the night, which is the time of day when most of the film will be set, and therefore help to create further mystery surrounding the character. Makeup: The characters makeup will be done to make their eyes look sunken in and make them look tired, this makes them appear less put together and less trustworthy. Other information:
