The document discusses creativity and how it is used in horror movie trailers. Creativity is defined as inventing or originating something new that has value, using imagination. It involves both thinking of ideas and implementing them. Horror movie trailers employ creative features like direct address to engage audiences, special effects with flashing lights and graphic scenes, a narrator with a deep scary voice, pacing that starts slow and speeds up, and editing techniques like objects falling and manipulating lighting to set a dark and depressing mood.

6. Production Reflection
The document describes Leticia Pozze's process for creating several graphic design projects. It discusses how she created a cloudy sky background in Photoshop using filters and adjusting hue/saturation. It also details how she found fonts online and used tools like the Rounded Rectangle Tool to create shapes. Finally, it explains her process for designing app and game logos by drawing clouds, shapes, and a ball with tools like the pencil tool.
3. production experiments interactive
The document describes experiments creating a ghost game scene using pencil and paint bucket tools in pixel art style. Key elements that will be included in the final product are using pencil and paint bucket tools to create the scene and characters, plus one animation for enemies getting killed, and a pixelated art style to make the scene and characters easier to create while maintaining a retro game appearance.
3. production experiments (interactive)
The artist drew stars and a dark purple background using the pencil tool to create a creepier atmosphere for their picture. Buildings were added to make the scene of a ghost appearing at night seem more realistic and relatable to viewers. Finally, a ghost was drawn using the pencil tool as the last element of the experiment. For the final product, the moon, stars, and background will be included to match the brief of creating a Ghost Game.
3. production experiments (interactive)
The document describes experiments creating a ghost character and night sky background. It details using a size 1 brush to create a pixelated night sky with dark colors, stars, and clouds. It also explains using a size 1 brush and filling with white and red colors to design the ghost character with a cape and cap. The reflection indicates the improved background may be included in the final Ghost Game product and refers back to the original brief.
Creativity investigation
Creativity involves generating new ideas and taking action to make those ideas a reality. It requires the ability to see connections and patterns in unconventional ways. To be truly creative, one must not only imagine ideas but produce something from those ideas. When creating a horror film trailer, it is important to come up with an original storyline and use creative filming and editing techniques. Special effects and computer graphics can be applied creatively to heighten drama and realism in a visually striking manner that keeps audiences engaged.
The Pictogram
Pictograms, also known as pictographs, are symbols that represent ideas. Common types of pictograms include those for gender, warnings, facilities, and transportation. To create a Halloween-themed pictograph, one would need white and black cardboards, scissors, an artist's scalpel, glue, and rulers. The process involves drawing or printing images, combining different images, designing the pictograph layout, indicating white and black areas, and cutting out or drawing the image on black cardboard to produce the final pictograph.
Project 4 production experiments ghost game
The document describes the process of designing a ghost game. The background was filled with a light blue color using a bucket tool. Clouds were added using a pen tool at the smallest size to get precise clouds. Character designs went well as the ghost riding a unicorn was simple but effective. For the final product, the designer aims to have smoother animation, moving clouds that loop, and a setting of an underground cave where the character tries to find their way out.
3. production experiments(2)
The document describes experiments Ryan Craft conducted for a project called Ghost Game. Ryan used the line tool to create lines for a ghost character to jump on and the ellipse tool to make a circular moon object. He then used the pencil tool to color an image of a ghost he found online. In his reflection, Ryan notes that none of these experimental elements will be included in the final product, as the brief calls for a game where the goal is to guide a ghost along red lines to reach the moon, which represents heaven.

Introduction to Animation and its Thought Process
This document provides an introduction to animation, including its definition, thought processes, types, production process, and software/tools used. Animation is defined as the art of movements that are drawn between each frame, rather than what exists in each frame. The key types discussed are 2D, 3D, stop motion, VFX, and experimental animation. The production process involves pre-production, production, and post-production stages. Creative and critical thinking are essential thought processes for animators.
1. initial plans
The document outlines initial plans for a murder mystery movie project including a mind map with ideas. It proposes a movie poster with a ransom note font and silhouettes to maintain mystery. The trailer would focus on a victim at a masquerade ball without showing the killer. Invitations to the ball would have hidden messages under UV light. A mood board analysis notes repeated dark and bright colors as well as anonymity. An informal proposal describes invitations that change under UV light and a trailer that draws viewers in without revealing the killer. Choices dismisses other less exciting ideas like instructional leaflets or bland posters in favor of the planned invitations, trailer and poster.
Creativity investigation
Creativity refers to using imagination and original ideas to create something new. Within media, creativity is shown through the creative features used in a production to make it interesting and appeal to audiences. Horror trailers commonly use certain features like characters, settings, narratives, costumes, sounds, editing, and special effects to fit the codes and conventions of the horror genre and present it distinctly while still relating to expectations of the genre.
Creativity
Creativity can be used to make media products more appealing by including original and unique features. A creative feature in horror film trailers is background music that creates tension and spooky atmosphere. Creative features in horror films include graphic scenes using horrifying shots or effects, creepy sound elements like shocking musical scores and sound effects, and establishing dark and eerie atmospheres that initiate fearful thoughts in viewers.
Genre research
Horror films aim to trigger primal fears in audiences through startling scenes and supernatural or macabre events. There are various types of horror, including psychological horrors relying on fears and guilt, slasher horrors involving psychopathic killers, and gothic horrors combining horror and romance. Horror films typically feature isolated settings at night to increase impact. Camerawork, sounds, lighting, props, and other technical elements are used to build tension, suspense, and scare audiences. Common characters include the protagonist who survives, victims, and the revealed antagonist. Themes often involve good vs. evil, the supernatural, and societies' fears. Limitations in creating a student horror film include difficulty achieving proper sounds, locations, and dark
Creativity Investigation
Horror film trailers aim to evoke emotions of fright and terror in viewers. They do this through scenes depicting nightmares, fears, and graphic violence, employing special effects. The trailers also use unsettling voiceovers, jumpy editing, unusual camera angles, creepy sounds, and ominous text to create an atmosphere of danger and put the viewer in the position of the victim.
Media Studies Evaluation Question 1
The document discusses the evaluation of a media studies project creating a horror film opening scene. It summarizes how the group effectively used conventions of the horror genre including narrative, setting, camera work, sound, and social representations. The narrative and genre were horror and followed conventions like filming in dark locations and including scary elements. Mise-en-scene incorporated props like a knife and mask and filming in an abandoned house at night. Camera angles, pans, tilts and zooms built tension. Loud non-diegetic music aimed to startle viewers. Characters represented careless teenagers seeking thrills.
Question3
Genre conventions are elements that distinguish one genre from another, such as setting, characters, and themes. They provide expectations for audiences but also allow for innovation. Steve Neale asserts that audiences find pleasure both in repetitive genre conventions as well as innovations that differ from expectations. For horror films specifically, common conventions include isolated settings, low-key lighting, diegetic and non-diegetic sounds to build atmosphere, editing techniques like suspenseful pacing to create tension, camera angles like high and low shots to convey fear, protagonists on a mission to resolve a threat, and visual icons like blood red colors and props like knives.
Evaluation question 1: Renewed
The document discusses conventions of the thriller genre that the media product uses, develops, or challenges. It focuses on elements of mise-en-scene, camera work, editing, sound, and location. Specific conventions used include mysterious music, quick cuts, low lighting, and isolated forest settings. Point-of-view shots from the antagonist are used to involve the audience. The media product challenges genre conventions by having a female protagonist rather than a male-dominated crime thriller.
Media Pitch
Blumhouse Productions would be an ideal production company for the film "Lullaby" due to their success in the horror genre with films like Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and The Purge. Blumhouse emphasizes low-budget films, making Lullaby a good fit. Partnering with Blumhouse could also allow the film to partner with major studios like Lionsgate, Paramount, and Universal. The target audience for the film's trailer is identified as young adults aged 18-22 of both genders, as research found they enjoy watching films at home and in theaters, and their favorite genre is psychotic thriller/horror.
Thriller
Thrillers are suspenseful stories involving crime or espionage. They use conventions like low key lighting, quick cuts, tension music, and changes in camera angles to build suspense and scare audiences. There are several thriller subgenres that have their own codes and conventions, such as crime thrillers focusing on planning or solving crimes, action thrillers with fights for survival, sci-fi thrillers set in futuristic worlds, psychological thrillers that play with reality, and horror thrillers with frightening supernatural elements. Each subgenre employs techniques like music, editing, lighting, locations, and characters in distinct ways to immerse viewers in high-tension stories.
Creativity investigation
Creativity involves using imagination to generate new ideas and translating those ideas into reality. It requires perceiving the world from different perspectives, connecting unrelated concepts, and developing solutions. Many successful horror trailers feature creative ideas and elements like special effects and computer graphics that help filmmakers conceive of new plotlines and presentations, making the films more dramatic and realistic. The document discusses applying creativity to an original plot, costumes, makeup, camerawork, editing, and sound design in a horror trailer.

This document summarizes how a student's media project used and challenged conventions of horror movie genres. It analyzes the openings of three horror films, noting their use of settings, characters, editing, sound, and camera work. The student's project similarly featured an isolated nighttime setting, vulnerable female victims, and tense sounds. However, it challenged conventions by using an extreme close-up of a killer's hands for mystery and having a non-supernatural antagonist without other prop objects. The student concluded their project developed genre conventions while also offering some developments.
Stop motion ideas workshop
The document provides guidance for students to generate ideas for a stop motion animation project. It instructs students to work in groups to develop an initial idea and pitch it to the class. It then asks students to independently brainstorm multiple ideas using a provided worksheet to structure their planning. Finally, students will work in pairs, pitching their ideas to each other and providing feedback on ways to further develop the ideas. The overall goal is for students to practice idea generation and receive feedback to strengthen their initial stop motion animation concepts.
Mise en-scene
The document discusses the elements of mise-en-scène in filmmaking, which refers to everything that appears on screen. It describes several components of mise-en-scène including setting, costumes, lighting, movement/acting, space, time, and sound. Each of these elements helps establish mood, move the plot forward, and shape the audience's understanding of the story. The document also distinguishes between diegetic sounds that come from within the story world, and non-diegetic sounds that are added for dramatic effect from outside the story world.
Creativity Investigation
Creativity involves thinking of new and valuable ideas and then implementing those ideas. It is a phenomenon where original concepts are conceived and transformed into reality through two processes: thinking of ideas and then taking action to produce them. When creating horror movie trailers, creativity is used through techniques like incorporating suspenseful music and sounds, developing novel plot ideas, employing scary camera angles and shots, skillfully editing scenes to match the music, and employing mise-en-scene elements like costumes, lighting, and settings to convey the horror genre and build tension.
Genre Research
Psychological horror films employ various cinematic techniques to create an atmosphere of fear and suspense. Low key lighting is used to make scenes dark and mysterious, not showing details and making audiences feel like something frightening may happen. Music and sounds also build suspense and warn of impending fright. Characters are often vulnerable and psychologically damaged. Editing techniques like point of view shots put the audience in the character's perspective to share their fear.
Lighting ideas
Lighting is an important element in horror film trailers. Common lighting techniques used include ambient lighting to create realism, profile lighting to show two sides of a character, and backlighting or underlighting to generate suspense through silhouettes or ghostly effects. The document discusses how lighting in horror emphasizes darkness and the unknown to build fear and tension in viewers. It also notes that the film The Conjuring effectively uses dark and limited lighting in its basement scene to leave what may be lurking in shadows up to audience imagination.
Creative Critical Reflection of Revenge (A2 Media Studies)
The document summarizes a student's creative critical reflection project on making a horror film called "Revenge" that highlights the social issue of child abuse. The student conducted surveys to determine what genre of film would appeal to different age groups in their apartment building. They chose to make a horror film incorporating a social issue since it received fewer votes. The film is about a girl who was tortured by her mother and now haunts other mothers as a ghost. The student discusses how they challenged horror film conventions and promoted the film using branding, distribution strategies, and various software, hardware and online tools.
Computer Generated Graphics
Computer-generated imagery (CGI) involves using computer software to digitally create or contribute to images and videos. There are several steps to creating CGI animation, including scripting, storyboarding, layout, animation, and final revision. Key techniques used in CGI production include rendering techniques like ray tracing, skeletal animation, morphing, compositing, and chroma keying. Popular software programs used for CGI include Maya, Houdini, RenderMan, and Blender. CGI has many applications and is widely used in movies, television, video games, and other media to create visual effects, animated characters and scenes, and virtual worlds.
Evaluation question 3
The student received positive feedback from peers on their horror film trailer. The feedback indicated that the genre was clearly horror. Elements like jump cuts, horror sounds, and a surprise ending kept viewers engaged. One scene using special effects received praise. The lack of music added to the feeling of being present. Suggestions for improvement included adding building music and more dialogue towards the end. Feedback confirmed the ancillary materials matched the trailer and would attract buyers to the film. Overall, the feedback showed the student and their group succeeded in effectively conveying the horror story and genre.
Storyboard
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

Analysing magazine front covers film 7
1) All four magazine covers prominently feature a celebrity image placed above the masthead to indicate their prominence and importance.
2) Key details like film or article titles are emphasized through bolding, capitalization or sizing to draw the reader's eye.
3) The price is kept small and inconspicuous across magazines, implying an expensive cost.
Post – Production Investigation
Post-production refers to the tasks that must be completed after filming ends, including editing raw footage together into a coherent storyline, adding music and special effects, and re-recording lost audio. It transforms individual scenes into a finished film. For horror films specifically, key post-production stages involve adding sound effects like footsteps or creaking doors to enhance tension and scare the audience by making noises seem louder than in real life.
Research and Planning
Research and planning is crucial for any creative project. It involves analyzing similar existing works to understand techniques, audience preferences, and areas for improvement. For a horror film specifically, one must watch and analyze horror scenes to understand essential genre elements. Brainstorming ideas and gathering audience feedback helps expand potential plots. Location scouting is also important, as certain settings like forests and abandoned houses are scarier than beaches. Technical aspects like camera angles, sounds, and editing styles must be researched as well to create an effective final product.
Media language investigation
The trailer uses lighting, sound, editing and shots of the characters' fearful expressions to build tension and convey the psychological horror genre. Dark colors and shadows create an unsettling atmosphere in the family's home. Non-diegetic heartbeats and strategic use of silence heighten the tension. Fast-paced editing and fades between clips immerse viewers in the family's escalating terror as supernatural events threaten their son.
Audience Investigation
The document discusses audience investigation and various theories related to audiences. It defines an audience as a specific target group for a genre, such as 15-18 year old males for horror movies. It also discusses how audiences have power as individuals and groups in their consumption and reaction to media content across different devices and platforms. Finally, it summarizes some key audience theories for the horror genre, such as Carol Clover's theory about the relationship between the male horror audience and the female victim/heroine character tropes commonly seen in horror films.
Representation Investigation
Representation involves how identities are constructed within media and how those constructions are received by audiences of differing identities. Media representation can involve stereotyping around class, age, gender, ethnicity, and other identity markers. Representation theorists examine how representations link to concepts like the abject in horror genres, referring to the human reaction when distinctions between self and other break down.
Genre Investigation
A genre refers to a category of artistic works defined by similarities in form, style and content. In film, genres are based on common narrative elements and conventions that films of that type follow. Examples of popular film genres include horror, comedy, romance and action. Genre allows films to be easily categorized and marketed to audiences. While genres help audiences understand what to expect, they can also lead to stereotyping that overlooks the uniqueness of individual works.

The document discusses 5 different colour schemes for a magazine. Colour scheme 1 uses pink and other feminine colours that would appeal to girls and younger audiences. Colour scheme 2 uses colours like those seen on football magazines and would appeal more to males. Colour scheme 3 uses various shades of green that could attract both females and males but may not fit the initial story spread as well. Colour scheme 4 uses dull, boring colours more suited to serious stories or rock magazines. Colour scheme 5's similar colours would all blend together on the page and be better for magazines targeting older audiences. The author decides to go with colour scheme 1 as it suits the genre, will attract attention, and fits the double page story rather than darker colours suited to other magazines.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Creativity Investigation
- 1. Creativity Investigation By Shannen Leader
- 2. What is Creativity? • Creativity refers to the invention or origination of any new thing (a product, solution, artwork, literary work, joke, etc.) that has value. We use our imaginations to " make up" something new and valuable, • “Creativity is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing. Innovation is the production or implementation of an idea. If you have ideas, but don’t act on them, you are imaginative but not creative.” — Linda Naiman • “Creativity is the process of bringing something new into being…creativity requires passion and commitment. Out of the creative act is born symbols and myths. It brings to our awareness what was previously hidden and points to new life. The experience is one of heightened consciousness-ecstasy.” —Rollo May, The Courage to Create
- 3. What ‘creative’ features are used in Horror trailers? • Some trailers use direct address to really grab the audiences eye. • Special effects are often used in horror trailers with strobe/flashing lights. Graphic scenes rely on the use of horrifying shots or special effects, which can be mechanical effects that are shot live during filming or optical effects that are later added to the footage using computer-generated imagery (CGI). • In every horror trailer they have the same man speaking selling the story to us, giving us a sneaky little bit of information about the film, his voice is deep, scary and tends to put the viewers on edge. • In the majority of Horror trailers they always start at a steady slow pace and about half way through it tends to speed up dramatically and really reaches its climax showing us a variety of different scary clips in the film. • Often in the editing stage there is always objects falling all over the place, mainly furniture or ornaments. • The lighting is crucial in horror films you always need dark, dull depressing scenes to really feel the Horror mood. If the scene needs more darkness the creative features in the Editing scene will allow you to add to it more so.
