Shutter island code and conventions opening
The opening scene of Shutter Island establishes a sense of mystery and intrigue through its use of codes and conventions. It introduces the two main characters Teddy Daniels and his partner on a boat emerging from dense fog, creating an enigma for the audience about their mission. Teddy is shown to be uneasy from flashbacks and being seasick, in contrast to his partner. Mellow, haunting background music sets a slow, steady pace that gradually builds tension without revealing the plot. Costumes and props of the 1950s era further contextualize the characters and mood. The opening leaves the audience with clues about the setting but no clear answers about what will happen.

Music video script_template
The document is a script for a music video for the song "What's in Your Head" by Disclosure. It outlines 10 scenes that will make up the video from 0:00 to 4:00 minutes. The scenes show a group of friends pre-drinking at a house, traveling to a party by bus/taxi/train, arriving at and enjoying the party, buying more drinks and getting drunk, a fight breaking out after the party ends, traveling home drunk and disorderly, and the morning after with the group feeling ill and reminiscing about the night. The script provides timing for each scene and descriptions of the shots and visual techniques that will be used.

Shots and music speed up to increase tension. Strange sounds and illuminated effects are used.

Both trailers use quick cuts and changing brightness to set a fast, suspenseful pace.
Music video script lover of the light

Crash. katy.
The opening titles of Crash are purposefully confusing to draw in the audience. Unclear images and patterns against a dark background create an ominous atmosphere. Slow, soft background music plays as unknown voices are heard. Close-ups of characters' faces are shown without context to further intrigue viewers about the situation. The distorted images and voices continue in order to engage the audience in figuring out what has occurred.
The rip lyrics breakdown
This document provides details on the lyrics and proposed video for the song "The Rip". It notes that the video will open with a single long take to summarize the narrative for viewers in an artistic and mysterious way.

The video concludes with a long zoom-out shot to create tension and ambiguity.
Fatal Attraction
This document analyzes the cinematography, editing, sound, and other techniques used in a scene to build tension and create fear in the audience. It describes how the establishing shot shows a peaceful setting unaware of coming events.

Through these techniques, the scene engages the audience and effectively generates a frightening atmosphere.
Colour scheme

Moana Soundtrack
Here are a few key points about how the Lego Movie portrays life as a stage:
- The movie blurs the lines between Finn's imagination with his Lego toys and the animated world of the Lego characters. This parallels how our lives could be a staged production that we create and participate in.
- We are the actors, directors, producers, writers, and soundtrack creators of our own life stories. We craft our roles and influence the plot and themes just as Finn shapes the Lego world with his toys.
- Like a play, our life unfolds in acts with rising and falling actions. We perform for the audience of others and leave behind a narrative that can be reviewed, as Shakespeare viewed life as a seven act

Both films establish setting and character through simple, slow-paced ambient sounds and music in line with the comedy-drama genre.
