Thriller
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.
Hush frame shots
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.

The film was both a critical and financial success and established Shyamalan as a director known for surprise endings.
Camera shots
The document discusses different types of camera shots including establishing shots, close-ups, extreme close-ups, high angles, low angles, over the shoulder shots, and medium shots. An establishing shot establishes the location of a scene from a wide view. Close-ups tightly frame people or objects, while extreme close-ups focus on eyes or mouths to show emotion or reaction. High angles make objects appear smaller and low angles make them appear larger. Over the shoulder shots convey relationships and dialogue between people. Medium shots capture objects from the knees up.

The document summarizes the opening scene of a film. It begins with an establishing shot panning down a suburban street and zooming in on a house window. There are several extreme close-up shots showing a detective's hand clicking a pen and a dead body under a sheet. The scene then shows matching objects on a mantle, one out of place. Further shots zoom out and in on the body and ceiling light. Footsteps are then heard, catching the detective's attention as his partner enters the room.

The audience then sees the man swing his weapon at the woman before the screen goes black, leaving her fate unknown.

Techniques i like (1)
The document discusses lighting, camera, and editing techniques that the author likes to use for horror films. Specifically:
1) The author prefers using low-key lighting to create an eerie, tense atmosphere through shadows and limited visibility. This sets the scary tone.
2) Close-up shots are effective as they allow the audience to see characters' emotions and build suspense through a limited field of view.
3) Jump cuts and montage editing keep the audience on edge by rapidly changing shots and scenes, mimicking the fast-paced emotions of characters in danger. These techniques build tension and emphasize scary moments.
Key Sequence: Kvinden i Buret
The scene isolates the main character in a small, dark, and claustrophobic space. Various cinematography techniques like close-ups, soft focus, and frequent camera movements disorient the audience and reflect the character's confusion and fear. The lighting is initially very dark and switches to bright lights, further disorienting the character. Minimal props and costumes, lack of color, and ordinary clothing aim to create realism and tension. Sound design uses silence, loud noises, echoing effects, and asynchronous sound to build an eerie atmosphere and put the audience in the character's perspective. The scene deals with disturbing themes of kidnapping, torture, power, and lack of escape that are conventional of the thriller genre.

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. Building tension through slow shots leads to panic at the end as a light suggests someone has been found, creating the "what happens next" mystery of thrillers. An unnerving musical score also helps establish the thriller genre from the beginning cliffhanger scene.
Mise en scene in psycho
This document analyzes 7 shots from the famous shower scene in the 1960 film Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock. Each shot is described in 1-2 sentences noting how elements like facial expressions, positioning of the body, and symbolism are used to build tension and suggest that the character is being attacked and killed in the shower without explicitly showing the violence. The shots progressively show the woman becoming scared, in pain, struggling for help, and finally dead on the floor with her eyes open to emphasize that she is no longer alive.
Continuity Editing
Continuity editing refers to arranging shots to suggest the progression of events. It primarily guides the audience through a sequence logically.

They can also manipulate time by accelerating or expanding it for dramatic effect, such as showing a date being prepared in seconds rather than minutes. Breaking expected continuity through unexpected shots can create tension in the audience.

Question 5
We attracted our audience through several techniques:
1) Setting the thriller in an ordinary house made the location relatable and engaged audiences by making them aware it could happen anywhere.
2) Using lighting techniques like chiaroscuro engaged audiences familiar with film noir.
3) An electronic soundtrack built suspense and tension, appealing to younger audiences.
4) Cutting between characters created cliffhangers that kept audiences engaged and on edge throughout.
Evaluation q5
The document summarizes how the title sequence for a supernatural horror film addressed its intended audience. It used female protagonists, mysterious shots without full views of faces, lack of dialogue, and isolation to intrigue viewers and encourage speculation. Shots were cut together quickly and included close-ups to build an unsettling atmosphere. Dark choir music, whispered incantations, and diegetic sounds heightened tension without loud startling noises. Settings appeared isolated in dark rooms or alone in nature to invoke fear. Props related to witchcraft completed the mise-en-scene.
Suspense
The document discusses various cinematic techniques used to create suspense in films. Silence can be used effectively, as a sudden loud noise will change the pace. Panning shots are used to reveal clues that raise suspicion of danger. Weather like rain obscures vision and lightning reveals threats. Point of view shots from the killer's perspective increase tension. Close ups focus on the victim's expressions and make the audience feel trapped. Low camera angles imply vulnerability. Cross cutting between victim and approaching killer also builds suspense.
Research
This trailer summarizes the key elements of the thriller film "Little Red Riding Hood" in 3 sentences or less:
The trailer begins with establishing the fairy tale setting of the film about Valerie, a young woman torn between her love for Peter and her arranged marriage to Henry, as a werewolf starts killing people in their village. Scenes show the tension and fear gripping the town as the death toll rises each full moon. The trailer hints that Valerie may have a connection to the werewolf and leaves the audience wondering who the beast could be that lurks in the dark forest.
Ouija
This document analyzes the trailer for the horror film Ouija. It summarizes that the trailer establishes the genre as horror through its fast pace and scary imagery. It creates a confusing narrative at first but eventually reveals that a girl was killed after playing with a Ouija board alone, and her friends now try to use the board to find clues about her death while avoiding the same fate. The target audience seems to be 16-25 year olds, as the actors appear to be in their early 20s, and the scary imagery and sounds are effective at eliciting emotions in viewers of that age range.
The shining presentation
The trailer summarizes the plot of the psychological thriller "The Shining" in three sentences: A man moves with his wife and son to work as the caretaker of an isolated hotel for the winter. However, the previous caretaker killed his family after suffering a mental breakdown due to severe isolation. This ominous backstory leaves many questions for the audience around what drove the man to violence and whether the new family will experience a similar fate.
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. Cinematography included shots from the stalker's point of view and various angles to build tension. Editing was challenging to sync the song. Digital technology limitations impacted quality but they felt they improved. Overall, they learned they need strong planning, technical skills, research, and self-evaluation to succeed at advanced film projects.
Representation of Characters
The document analyzes character representations in film through shots from four different scenes. In the first scene about three girls, shot 1 establishes them as innocent through smiling and playing. Shot 2 shows a change as their expressions look trance-like. In shots about a family, the wife is portrayed as kind and caring. Another scene introduces a mysterious woman holding a knife in the dark. A final scene shows a baby crying in a bath without seeing its face, distancing the audience's sympathy. Overall the document examines how first shots aim to give audiences initial impressions about characters.
Thriller genre research
A2 Media Portfolio Research into the Thriller genre, with supernatural elements (Psychological thriller)
Evaluation q1 newww (kimberly talinescarmona (student))
This document evaluates how a media product uses conventions of real thriller films. It discusses several ways the opening sequence fits these conventions:
1) The mystery person wearing black creates ambiguity and an enigmatic scene, leaving the audience to wonder who they are.
2) The character running in the dark portrays her fleeing danger, informing viewers it is a thriller and leaving them wondering why she is running.
3) When the actor falls, it creates suspense as viewers feel the antagonist closing in, a common thriller convention.
4) Black and white shots create suspense by withholding clues while color shots relieve tension, another thriller convention.
Question 4 & 5
The document discusses the target audience and approach for promoting a thriller film called "Missing". The intended audience is 15-34 year olds interested in thrillers and independent British films. Social media promotion is planned to reach this audience. The opening scene aims to attract viewers through techniques like sound, editing, camera shots and mise-en-scene. Feedback from test viewers praised the sound design, point-of-view camera shots, and smooth continuity of the opening scene.

conventions
- 1. conventions

- 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.
