The document discusses three techniques for creative filmmaking: 1) Continuous camera work without cuts, as seen in "The Shining", builds suspense as the audience anticipates a jump scare around the next corner. 2) Jump scares in horror films are made more effective through sound design, like the changing dynamic range from quiet to loud when a head pops out of the water in "Jaws". 3) Building tension over minutes instead of just seconds requires slowly increasing background sounds and adding silence, drawing the audience's attention to quiet sounds like breathing or a heartbeat.

The Analysis of Micro Elements
The document discusses various film techniques used in openings, including extreme close-ups to show emotion, close-ups of faces, medium shots to establish characters, long shots to set the location, and extreme long shots that show little detail. It also covers camera movements like pans, tilts, and zooms, as well as cuts between shots, pace of transitions, diegetic and non-diegetic sounds, and mise-en-scene elements like scenery, costumes, and props.
11.creative f ilm making techniques
The document discusses two creative filmmaking techniques for building tension: long uninterrupted shots and using sound. For uninterrupted shots, keeping the camera focused on a single shot for an extended period of time without cuts increases audience focus and tension as they expect something to happen. For using sound, slowly increasing the tempo or volume of music can build tension over time, while sudden loud noises can create jump scares that make audiences feel something briefly.
Technical conventions
The document provides definitions and examples of various cinematic techniques used in filmmaking, including tracking shots, point of view shots, close-up shots, zooming and tracking in, dramatic angles, use of music, diegetic and off-screen sounds, lighting techniques like low key lighting and chiaroscuro, editing styles such as fast pacing, jump cuts, parallel editing, silence, and techniques that create a disorientation of time and space. Examples are provided for many of the techniques through links to video clips illustrating their use.
It follows trailer analysis
The document analyzes the trailer for the film "It Follows". It breaks down the trailer into different periods of equilibrium and disequilibrium. The trailer starts with slow fading scenes and jump cuts set to non-diegetic sound. A moment of disequilibrium occurs at 25 seconds when a character is shown tied to a chair. The reveal of the film's plot happens at 1 minute and 18 seconds, followed by the production company logo. The trailer ends at 1 minute 45 seconds with increased editing speed, jump cuts, sound bridges, and non-diegetic music setting in.
Media Language
This document summarizes and analyzes the cinematography, sounds, mise-en-scene, and editing techniques used in the trailers for three films: Piranha, The Woman in Black, and The Purge. For each trailer, the document examines the cinematography including shots used, sounds like music and effects, elements of the visual scene, and editing patterns with cuts and fades. The analysis finds that all three trailers employ conventions of their genres, like fast cuts for action in Piranha, darkness and isolation for horror in The Woman in Black, and a shift from peace to tension with changes in music and visuals for The Purge.
Soundtrack theory
The document discusses the relationship between sound and moving images in filmmaking. It defines different types of sounds, including diegetic sounds that exist within the world of the story that characters can hear (e.g. footsteps, dialogue), non-diegetic sounds that exist outside the world of the story (e.g. film scores, voiceovers), external diegetic sounds that come from outside the frame but are part of the story world, and internal diegetic sounds that happen inside a character's mind. The document also discusses parallel sounds that reinforce visuals, contrappuntal sounds that contrast visuals, the use of silence, and sting sounds for emphasis. It provides examples of each type of sound and tasks students with analyzing
Gattaca film techniques
The document discusses various film techniques used in the science fiction film Gattaca. It analyzes the mise-en-scene, including the sterile and minimalist settings that reflect the film's theme of a genetically "perfect" society. It also examines the cold, green and blue lighting, as well as the use of golden light for more intimate scenes. Sound design, with its emphasis on falling objects in the opening scene, and cinematography through close-ups are also summarized. Motifs in the film like stairs, swimming and DNA samples are highlighted for their thematic significance.
Sound
Sound is used in several ways in films. Diegetic sound originates from within the film's world, like music from a radio, while non-diegetic sound comes from outside the frame, like background music. Synchronous sound matches the action on screen, while asynchronous sound comes from outside the diegetic reality. Contrapuntal sound contrasts with the visuals to create alternative meanings. Voiceovers guide the audience narrative and theme music bookends the film.

Editing process
The editing process involved several techniques to enhance the film. Fades and blurred effects were used for opening titles. Brightness and colors were adjusted to improve lighting. Reverb added to music made it sound like a small room. Rapid cuts built dramatic tension before a masked man entered. A scene was reversed and sped up before a gunshot to increase drama. A black and white filter made the final scene look more emotional. Running scenes were slowed to 40% speed. The film ended as titles faded to black while dramatic music faded out.
Editing process
The editor made several adjustments to improve the film. They started with a fade in from black for the opening sequence. Noticing some scenes were brighter than others, the editor used tools to correct brightness and make it consistent. For a music scene, reverb was used to make the music sound like it was already playing in the background. Quick cuts were used to build tension before gunshots. The opening sequence was later reversed and sped up as a flashback for a dramatic effect when a masked man pulls the trigger. A black and white filter was used for the final emotional past scene. The film title appeared and faded out with the background music.
Jurassic world : trailer analysis
The document analyzes the sounds and music used in a movie trailer and how they create tension and convey meaning to viewers. It discusses how calm music in the beginning establishes the park setting as safe, but then tension-building music and silence signal that danger is coming. Screaming and wailing sounds emphasize violent scenes and build adrenaline. Dialogue provides some context but also leaves mysteries, making viewers want to know more. Repetitive wailing suggests an unknown threat. Overall, the careful use of sounds helps set the scene and engage the audience in the story.
Sound
Sound in films uses three key ingredients - human voice, sound effects, and music - which a sound editor balances to create different effects, from realism to fantasy. Sound is often used to complement editing and visual effects in scenes, like using changes in loudness and instrument choice in a horror film trailer to create suspense. An opening scene in Sherlock Holmes effectively uses parallel and non-diegetic sounds like music and diegetic sounds of horses and guns to match and enhance the visuals and set an intense atmosphere.

Types of Camera and Lighting in Media
There are several types of camera shots and lighting effects commonly used in films. Long shots establish the scene and provide context, while angled shots convey hierarchy and power dynamics between characters. Conversational shots like over-the-shoulder and close-ups are used to focus on dialogue and emotions. Different lighting techniques like chiaroscuro create contrast, while three-point fill lighting provides a normal look and high key lighting reduces shadows. Natural lighting resembles sunlight while artificial lighting comes from man-made sources.

Flashbacks and transitions between scenes also advance the plot in stylistically conventional ways while challenging expectations through experimental music and cinematography choices.

Insidious powerpoint
The opening sequence of the horror film Insidious uses various cinematic techniques to set an ominous tone. Red credits fade in and out over very low-key, dark lighting to create a sense of danger and the unknown. A demon is portrayed with a dead, bridal costume and black colors that make her appear ghostly. Camerawork like birds-eye views and close-ups of the demon's face increase suspense, while tracking shots around the dark, shadowy house make the audience feel involved. Unsettling high pitched violins, screams and sting sounds are used for the soundtrack, along with silence to build tension.

Cabin in the woods trailer analyis
The trailer begins by establishing the suburban location of the characters and their journey to an isolated cabin in the woods. Various shots are used to introduce the characters and build an atmosphere of tension and suspense. When they arrive at the run-down cabin, strange noises and a sense of being watched put the characters on edge.

Media survey analyses
The document summarizes audience feedback from a survey about a thriller movie treatment. The survey used closed and open-ended questions to gauge opinions on different aspects of the treatment's storyline, characters, and genre conventions. Based on the feedback, the treatment's story was found to be too basic, predictable, and boring. Respondents felt it lacked an intriguing plot and memorable characters. To improve the treatment, the creator will need to develop the story and characters further, add an unexpected twist, and make the overall narrative less conventional and more unique.
Auxilary task 8

EVALUATION Q1: MEDIA PRODUCT
The document discusses how a student media project utilizes conventions of the thriller genre to develop the project's form. It provides examples of how the project uses conventions like low-key lighting, quick cuts, shadows, and camera angles. Specific shots that were included in the project's trailer that follow thriller conventions are described, such as a scene filmed in a park at night that keeps characters in darkness. The structure of the trailer also follows Todorov's theory of equilibrium, disruption, and resolution. Shadows and symbols were used to create suspense, and an opening prologue was included to introduce the story's urban legend in an intriguing way.
Treatment for media
A serial killer dubbed "Lola" is murdering children in London and painting their nails pink. Detective Wallace investigates the "Moonlight Murders" and finds a hair at one crime scene. He later receives a call that the sheriff's son has gone missing. Wallace traces evidence to confront Lola in the woods. Lola straps Wallace into a bomb suit and drives him to the sheriff's house, where a fight ensues that results in Lola's death.
Promotional package
This document discusses different promotional packages and strategies for films. It provides examples of promotional campaigns for The Dark Knight, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Good Time, and Lady Bird. The Dark Knight's extensive 15-month campaign included hidden prizes around Gotham City and projecting the Batman logo on buildings to generate hype. Spider-Man: Homecoming spent $140 million on promotions, partnering with brands and releasing trailers and interviews. Good Time and Lady Bird had limited budgets, promoting through film festivals, reviews, and interviews on shows like Jimmy Kimmel to create buzz around their small independent films.
Evaluation q6
The document discusses technologies learned from creating a film product. It describes learning how to use WordPress to create blog posts, embed videos and powerpoints, and build a website to showcase the film work. It also discusses learning how to use a DSLR camera, changing lenses for close-ups and wide shots, and adjusting the ISO setting to get darker images appropriate for the thriller genre.
Evaluatin q2
This document compares characters from two films. The character in Place Beyond the Pines is mentally disturbed and robs banks. The main character in the author's film was influenced by this character and was also meant to give off an edgy look through a bike helmet and bodysuit. Additionally, the fact that the author's main character is white fulfills the stereotype of a white school shooter.
Pitch presentation
The document outlines a proposed opening scene for a short thriller film about a school shooting. It discusses ideas considered like a bank heist, and feedback from an audience that preferred the school shooting idea. The final proposed opening scene shows mundane conversations between students before cutting to a shooter preparing and then stalking through empty halls and classrooms while tension builds with the score. Gunshots are then heard followed by a weeping boy found in a locked room as police arrive.
Creative film techniques
The document discusses three techniques for creative filmmaking:
1) Continuous camera work without cuts, as seen in "The Shining", builds suspense as the audience anticipates a jump scare around the next corner.
2) Jump scares in horror films are made more effective through sound design, like the changing dynamic range from quiet to loud when a head suddenly pops up in "Jaws".
3) Building tension over minutes instead of just seconds requires slowly increasing background sounds and silence to draw attention before climax. Using quiet sounds like breathing in silence heightens the tense atmosphere.
Film openning titles
Quentin Tarantino's film Reservoir Dogs used a simple technique in the opening credits to introduce each of the nine characters - the characters were shown walking down the street with individual close-up shots and freeze frames displaying their character names. The 500 Days of Summer opening credits introduced the main characters in more depth and through an animated sequence of drawings and buildings related to the narrative. The Suicide Squad credits focused on displaying the production companies rather than character names, likely because the big-budget film's actors did not need additional exposure and revealing names could give away the plot. In general, independent films tend to focus more on introducing individual characters in the opening credits while larger films promote the production companies that funded the film instead of character names
Openning sequence research pp
This document analyzes the opening sequences of two films - a horror thriller called "Orphan" and a children's adventure film called "Pete Dragon". For "Orphan", it summarizes that the opening titles use an ultraviolent flickering effect and ominous music to set a dark, ominous tone. The opening scene starts with two characters in a bright light that sets up the scene as a memory or dream. Camera angles like a point-of-view shot are used to make the audience experience the main character's discomfort. For "Pete Dragon", it notes the opening establishes the setting and introduces the characters, which is different than the thriller genre. Camera angles like an extreme long shot are used to show the setting

Creative film techniques
- 2. Camera Work : continuous uninterrupted shots This is a scene from the horror film " the shining" . We see a boy ride a tricycle. This shot is continuous and does not cut between a different angle. The camera just follows behind him, this lack of cuts creates a suspenseful atmosphere as we anticipate the jumps scare to be around the next corner, furthermore this stands out from the rest of film, and really captures the audiences attention and makes them focus on every little thing as they try and predict what is going to happen.
- 3. Sound: Jump scare In this clip from jaws, we see Hooper go under the water, and find a shark's tooth, a head then pops put of nowhere, if we analyze the sound, we see as he enters the water, the soundtrack is quiet and slowly increases in tempo, when the head pops up we hear it suddenly change to a really loud orchestral hit , this change is dynamic range adds to the impact of the head coming out of nowhere and makes the audience feel more surprised.
- 4. Sound : Building Tension Although a jumps care can make the audience feel tense for around 10 seconds, to create a tense atmosphere, to put the audience on the edge of their seat for a couple minutes takes building up the scene slowly. From my research I gave gathered starting the scene slow , and having the sound track be something low tempo, this then slowly has sounds added to it as the scene progress, causing a build up. Using silence is very effective too, this really brings in the audience's attention as it stands out from the rest of the scene. In this silence you can make very quiet sounds such as breathing, gun clicking or even a heartbeat really loud, this makes it make of a focus and allows the atmosphere to be more tense.
- 5. Lighting : Absense of Light When making a thriller film, having a less light can be seen as a good thing. Most thriller films, we see scenes set at night , where there is hardly an natural light, not only does this set a more errie atmosphere, but the audience have to look more closely at the frame, we see what is going on . Having only half the face lit up looks cool and has annotations of something bad about to happen.
