The document summarizes conventions used in thriller openings to build suspense and shock audiences. It discusses how suspense is created by keeping the audience guessing about who the suspicious person is and what will happen. It also notes that shock occurs because audiences do not expect the suspicious person to catch the innocent girl. Fast shots are used to build tension by not allowing viewers to clearly see what is happening, confusing and heightening their shock.

The teaser begins with a black screen and introduces the setting with an establishing long shot of a house in low-key lighting. A series of shots follow that focus on a woman on a computer, starting with close-ups of her face and the screen and progressing to extreme close-ups of her computer screen. These shots establish tension as they scroll through a message. The teaser cuts between these shots and the woman's surroundings, with a shot reverse sequence showing what she sees outside. It culminates in a medium long shot of a potential antagonist holding a lit phone in the dark before cutting to the film title over a long shot of the setting, building intrigue around the woman and her situation.

Q5- forms and conventions of media products
The document discusses how the media product's opening sequence uses and develops conventions of real thriller media. It sets the scene under a bridge to film in low lighting and create an eerie location. While it builds mystery by not revealing who the character is or why he is there, challenging conventions focused on suspense and tension. Titles constantly appearing on screen develop this convention. Choosing a bold, faded font achieves the thriller characteristic.

An unnerving musical score also helps establish the thriller genre from the beginning cliffhanger scene.

Evaluation of our first attempt at a moving image
The group evaluated their short film project where a girl stalks and chases a boy. They discussed strengths like having many ideas but weaknesses in planning and acting skills.

Settings can be everyday places like houses that emphasize realism and danger. Common characters include victims in trouble, police officers trying to help, people in troubled relationships, and psychotic individuals with dual personalities who are often the killers. Narratives typically involve someone unaware of their dual nature hurting others due to past trauma before realizing their identity and ending up dead or institutionalized.
Insidious conventionsuyryfy
The document discusses conventions used in horror movie trailers and films. It describes how horror trailers typically begin with ominous text on a black background to set an ominous tone. They establish that previous films by the same makers were scary to encourage viewership. Common techniques in the films include using low lighting and isolated settings to make characters vulnerable, as well as jump scares, mysterious shadows and unexplained sounds to build tension and suspense. Fast-paced editing is also used to keep the audience engaged. The goal is to draw viewers in and make them worry for the characters' safety.
Question 1
This document discusses how the media product uses and develops conventions of real thriller films. It summarizes how sound, lighting, mise en scene, editing, camera shots, location, binary opposites, and the hermeneutic code were used. For sound, tension was built through background music and sound effects. Lighting created atmosphere and mystery through shadows. Mise en scene kept the antagonist a mystery. Editing included fast pacing and point of view shots. Camera shots avoided close ups of the antagonist. The location shifted from street to dark woods. Binary opposites established good and evil characters. The hermeneutic code created mystery around the antagonist.
Women in black
The Woman in Black trailer uses various film techniques to set an unsettling and mysterious atmosphere. It introduces the main character Arthur Kipps and establishes the Victorian setting through point-of-view shots of a dark and dusty house. Eerie children's voices and music contrast with ominous weather sounds. Quick cuts and minimal sound during intense scenes build tension. Mysterious elements like the woman in black and scratched family photos create questions to intrigue viewers.

In general, it praises the films' ability to set tones and elicit emotions from audiences through their directorial choices, while also suggesting some areas for improvement.

conventions
- 1. conventions
- 2. suspense • In the opening of the thriller, one of the most commonly used convention is suspense. This is because it immediately hooks the audience and gets them instantly engaged with the film.
- 3. Shock • At the end of our thriller opening it causes shock as the audience are unaware the mysterious guy will catch up with the girl.
- 4. Fast shots • This convention builds up tension through the fast shots, it in a sense confuses the audience because they cannot clearly see what is going on. It then makes what happens come as more of a shock to the audience.
- 5. dissolve • The dissolve effect creates a suspicious and eerie feeling through the scene. It also allows to merge two scenes together in our case the newspapers to the girl walking.
- 6. Extreme close up • This convention is used nearer to the end of our thriller opening. It happens when we see a shot of the mysterious man and girl together. It is a good effect as it allows the audience to clearly see what is going on.
- 7. Mind games • Mind games are an effective convention as it allows the audience to feel part of the scene and allows them to think of what might happen, we used this in our thriller opening when the girl was looking around to see where the mysterious man was, he was nowhere to be seen and this confused the audience.
- 8. antagonist • The antagonist of our thriller was the mysterious man and it is immediately obvious he is the antagonist because of the girls reaction.
