Chosen genre essay
The document discusses two genres that the author is interested in for their chosen genre essay: mystery and fantasy. It provides details on the typical elements and conventions of each genre. For fantasy, it mentions magical aspects like witchcraft and the need for happy or peaceful endings. For mystery, it outlines how the genre usually involves a detective solving crimes and includes clues and suspense. The document also evaluates pros and cons of filming an opening scene for each genre, such as the visual appeal but challenges of creating props for fantasy, and the realistic environments but acting requirements for mystery.
Mood board- Thriller Opening Sequence
The setting of the thriller will be in isolated woods, helping to establish an eerie atmosphere and conform to genre conventions. A group of teens venture deeper into the woods for an art project but realize they are not alone, as the woods are rumored to be the site of multiple disappearances, as revealed in a newspaper article. The characters will have varying personalities, including a strong female protagonist. In the opening scene, a concerned parent reads about the recent disappearances in the woods his daughter has just entered.
Props
This document discusses props and costumes for a thriller film sequence opening. It describes winter clothing like coats, scarves, and boots that the main characters will wear while in the woods. A hooded figure dressed in black will be the killer whose identity is concealed. Important props include an iPhone with bloody fingerprints, cameras to capture the killer, and backpacks to indicate the characters traveled to the isolated woods. Fake blood and theatrical makeup will be used to make wounds and death appear gruesome and realistic.
Report
The document summarizes the design and rationale behind a DVD cover and movie poster created by Adam Picton for his teen thriller/horror film "Hidden in Plain Sight." The film is about a teenage girl who is stalked by her friend Ezekiel, who is revealed to be the stalker. Both the DVD cover and poster feature images of Ezekiel with half his face obscured, representing his two sides. The DVD cover contrasts masked and unmasked images of Ezekiel to hint at his duplicity without revealing the plot twist. The poster shows a cracked mask with Ezekiel's face barely visible to create mystery and intrigue. Font sizes and styles were chosen deliberately to draw attention and evoke feelings of danger and mystery aligned with thriller conventions
Draft Horror Movie Pitch
The group plans to make a supernatural horror film called "Wicca" about two teenage girls who are abducted by a cult and used in a ritual to summon an evil spirit. One girl disappears after the ritual, while the other begins having visions and tries to uncover what happened. The film will include stock horror character types and imagery like blood, knives, and pentagrams to set the occult theme. Cinematography techniques will be used to create an unsettling atmosphere, and the trailer will include conventions like screaming and jump scares to attract horror fans while keeping some ambiguity about the plot. Resources needed include actors, props, costumes, and locations like cemeteries. The film is influenced by movies involving occult themes
Film pitch for horror film titles project

A 3 paragraph synopsis then details the narrative over 10 nights of increasing paranormal activity surrounding the clock, culminating in the disappearance of Casey and Taylor. Required resources, filming locations, and main characters are also listed. Justification is provided for how the ideas fit the horror genre and target younger audience interests in found footage and poltergeist themes.
Horror film pitch
The document proposes a supernatural horror film pitch about a family that moves into a new Irish home where a girl had killed her family decades prior. The film's target audience would be 18-25 year old students. The film idea is based on the Irish myth of the banshee, a female spirit omen whose screams signal death. The main character finds an ancient comb containing the banshee's spirit, unleashing it to kill the family since they share the same surname as the banshee's original family. The film would incorporate the banshee appearing suddenly to scream before killing victims.

Poster analysis
This poster uses bright colors and cartoon-style images to appeal to younger family audiences. The large, clear text displays the movie's release date and studio. The genres of animation, comedy, action, adventure and fantasy suggest it aims to entertain children, who enjoy imaginary worlds. In contrast, another poster uses dull, dark colors and depicts violence like a pirate ship's destruction to seem more serious. Its genres of comedy, adventure, fantasy and action may interest older viewers, as the image of a gun implies it's not for young children.

Pj2
PJ's play a key role in effectively communicating news through pictures. Photos today represent the best way to concisely report human events. PJ's form opinions about newsmakers when obtaining and interpreting news that they transfer into compelling photographs, though they constantly face ethical issues around privacy. While luck cannot be learned, good technique and knowing what to do with a photo once taken can help a PJ turn chance photos into front page news. The overall, medium, and close-up shots each serve important purposes for telling a visual story. PJ's should take multiple frames from different angles and elevations to improve their photos and get the shot. Though teamwork is usual, individual PJ's push themselves to capture living history

Writing for motion picture
This document provides guidance on storytelling for motion pictures. It discusses that motion pictures combine art, music, literature, and theater into one art form.

Location two is an old chapel where the characters initially meet. Location three is just outside the forest, where the characters split up, one going into the forest. Location four is deep within the forest, where the masked killer attacks his victim.

Creative Critical Reflection #1: Conventions and Representations
The document discusses conventions in fantasy genre films, including targeting younger audiences, emotive storytelling, high-key lighting, saturated colors, and aspirational characters. It also notes the use of special effects to distinguish real and fantasy worlds. The response discusses how the film challenges some conventions by focusing less on emotions in its opening, using low-key lighting and a darker tone throughout, implementing drug abuse and mental illness plots targeting older audiences, and featuring a female protagonist who becomes increasingly aggressive. The response argues this challenges representations of gender and violence typically seen in fantasy films.

(Research) Media Studies Paranormal: Supernatural
Paranormal and supernatural films rely on certain conventions to create suspense and scare audiences. Locations like isolated houses are used to make viewers feel alone and vulnerable. Characters often include an innocent person in danger and someone trying to help them. Music, sounds, and editing techniques like jump cuts also contribute to the scary atmosphere.

These elements come together to effectively tell paranormal stories and keep audiences entertained.
Film Posters Analysis
This document discusses inspiration sources for a mystery film project. It analyzes posters and themes from films like The Twilight Zone, The Savages, Submarine, Palo Alto, and Closet Space.

The narrator feels the idea has potential but may require work to be effectively scary. More research is needed on sound effects, horror music, and software for audio production.
Mise en-scene analysis
This document discusses various techniques used in the mise-en-scene of horror films to create fear and tension in audiences. It explains that low-key lighting is commonly used to make scenes darker and scare audiences by hiding what they cannot see. Props like weapons are used to associate characters and signify violence. Facial expressions of fear shown by characters help audiences connect and feel scared for them. Costumes are also used to indicate whether characters are good or bad. Isolated house settings at night create tension by trapping characters without help or escape. These mise-en-scene elements manipulate human psychology and put audiences on edge.
Genre codes and conventions
This document discusses the genre of mystery/drama films and provides examples. It notes that mystery/drama offers elements of both genres, with an emphasis on dramatic storylines and conflict as the base. The mystery element creates engagement and intrigue by withholding key information from audiences. Technical elements common to the genre include low-key lighting, fast-paced editing, diegetic sound, handheld camera movements, and slow pacing/long takes. The document analyzes a scene from the film Amour that sets up mystery through withholding information and deliberate camera movements, creating intrigue and evoking psychological responses from audiences.

I used a variety of media technologies in all stages of creating a music video. This included using Final Cut Pro for editing clips, applying effects like desaturation, and ensuring accurate lip syncing. A DSLR camera was used to capture higher quality scenic shots and allow manual focusing. While green screening was attempted, projection of location footage worked better. Photoshop was used to edit photos for ancillary tasks like adding color filters and blending. SurveyMonkey and YouTube were also utilized in the planning, research, and sharing of works in progress.

1. The media product uses and develops conventions from real music videos through extensive research into the indie/pop genre. Shots and editing styles were inspired by music videos like Rihanna's "Diamonds" but developed further, like adding slow motion and reversing shots.
2. Conventions were also challenged, like casting the creator instead of a Caucasian actress to subvert expectations and appeal to a wider audience. Additionally, the music video did not include a love interest like typical indie/pop videos to focus more on the singer's emotions and lyrics.
3. Elements were developed further, like changing a painted scene from colorful to black paint smeared aggressively to depict anger, developing the idea from Demi Lov

The document summarizes feedback received from various audiences on a music video draft. Feedback was received through a survey, from other students and teachers, and targeted the expected conventions of the indie/pop genre. Key feedback included expectations for symbolism of love and emotions, dim lighting, isolation, dark costumes, and natural or dark makeup. This feedback helped the filmmakers better understand audience expectations and informed changes they made to incorporate more genre conventions and improve the narrative flow.
2.
The combination of the main music video product and ancillary magazine ad and album cover tasks is effective because there is clear continuity across all three. Specifically, the same scenic location, similar shots of the artist walking, matching color schemes, costumes, hairstyles, and lighting create coherence. Establishing a recognizable trademark look for the artist through these repeated visual elements can help promote and market the artist as a brand.

The widespread availability of music videos online in the 2000s has further increased their role in music promotion.
q7
The document summarizes what was learned from an initial film editing task to a full film opening task. It discusses improving camera skills like smooth panning shots and following editing conventions. Learning effective shot types like establishing shots, cutaways, and match cuts helped tell the story. Other lessons included adding title designs, sound effects, and score to engage viewers. Practicing skills like camerawork, editing, and design work benefited the representation and intrigue of the final film opening product.

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

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

Chosen genre essay
- 1. Anisha 12AS2 Chosen Genre Essay Instead of sticking to one specific genre, I picked two genres that I am really interested in, which is Mystery and Fantasy. Hopefully, discussing the pros and cons between the two genres will help me decided which genre is more achievable and constructive. Or I could possibly do a hybrid of both of the genres; I convert it to a sub-genre, to a Mystery Fantasy film opening; if I can’t decide which genre I prefer best. Fantasy genre is a fictional genre, so it contains unrealistic and magical aspects. It could consist of talking animals, magical powers such as witchcraft or wizardry. Having a magical atmosphere, plot or characters is crucial for a fantasy genre and it needs to have a happy ending or end in a peaceful and harmonious tone. Disney films are well known for meeting to its Fantasy genre conventions. It is common for young children or adolescents to be interested in Fantasy films as some at a very young age do tend to believe in the story or fairy tales – e.g. Tooth fairy, green-eyed monster. But it can be suitable for adults to watch if you add sub genres such as Drama, Mystery or Crime, this would add more interesting views because Drama, Mystery or Crime can give a realistic or serious aspect, which would appeal to everyone, rather than just children. Films such as, the Hobbit, the entire Harry Potter film collection, Hunger Games trilogy, the Twilight Saga which entails a similar mixture of genres, which appeals to most people, but its main genre is Fantasy. Science Fiction differs by a little as Sci-Fi focuses on the scientific conventions such as space or science academics; Stars Wars is a classic example of this particular genre. The positive outcome for creating a Fantasy genre film opening is that it would look good and exciting visually, only if it’s edited really well and if the props and costume is presented well and is relevant to this genre. However, the issues that will occur is picking the right scenery and actually creating the props and costume on time, but if a good and exciting plot is created and is acceptable to the genre, then there wouldn’t be a need to creating the props/costume or having the need to pick the right scenery, because it can be student with hidden magical powers, so it can easily be filmed in school. Mystery genre and Fantasy genre have one thing is common and it’s that they both are fictional genres. But the mystery genre usually consists a detective (or other professional) who solves a crime or series of crimes. Originally, some movies are based on mystery writings,
- 2. which can be novels or short stories and some shows, (This genre may also be called detective or crime novels) E.g. Sherlock Holmes, Jane Eyre. The purpose of a mystery novel is to solve a puzzle and to create a feeling of resolution with the audience. The expected elements of a Mystery Genre are Hidden Evidence, which is the author, scriptwriter or director may present seemingly unimportant details, but they really offer clues to the crime unexpectedly. Another element is Suspense, which are details about the plot are obscured to create tension and audience/characters are left to linger in uncertainty and curiosity. The positive outcome of filming a Mystery genre film opening is that it can be filmed anywhere, although it can be a fictional genre, Mystery genre can be filmed in realistic environments, to make the plot seem realistic and somewhat relatable to the audience. Also, creating a good plot for mystery is quite straightforward, because it doesn’t require any extra specific props or costumes to create; all that is needed is a suit, maybe a magnifying glass, notebook and pen. Furthermore, the lighting needs to be dimly lit to create a mysterious and gloomy atmosphere, which is perfectly fine because now that is it winter season, the sunlight isn’t out for long, so I can film the opening at outside at night or in dark places inside. The only thing to worry about is that the actors need to be quite sophisticated and serious, they must not laugh or smile a lot.
