Se7en opening credits analysis
The document discusses conventions used in thriller movie openings including quick cuts, dim lighting, eerie music, and establishing the protagonist vs antagonist dynamic. It analyzes the opening of the 1995 film "Seven" which uses extreme closeups, jump cuts, and lighting to emphasize disturbing images and create unease.

All elements are meant to build curiosity about the super evil antagonist within the conventions of the thriller genre.
Film Opening Pitch Notes
This document outlines two concepts for a murder mystery/thriller film. The first concept involves a serial killer who builds relationships to murder women and seduces the detective's wife, leading to a climactic fight scene. The second concept involves a killer who murders his wife and must cover it up by killing others, with the detective coming close to solving the case multiple times. Both concepts would feature scenes of the killer dragging a body through woods and digging a grave, and involve a detective struggling to catch the killer. The document provides suggestions for locations, props, actors, technical elements, comparable films, unique selling points, and micro-elements for each concept.
Delusion pitch
Two friends go into the woods to take pictures but one friend blacks out and the other goes missing. When he wakes up, the main character has blood on his hands but cannot remember what happened. He develops the photos from that day, hoping to find clues. While doing so, he hears a noise in the dark room but sees nothing. The film will use a dark room, the woods, and subtle clues to suggest the main character may be experiencing psychosis or hallucinations as he tries to find his missing friend.

Mind map of research
Teen comedy films started in the 1950s with movies like "The Wild One". These films typically feature stock characters like jocks, nerds, and rebels in a high school setting. The movies usually focus on an outcast trying to fit in and involve themes of teenage parties, drinking, and losing one's virginity. Teen comedies became more prevalent in the 1990s as censorship laws loosened. They commonly use upbeat background music that fades during dialogue.

Teen comedy films started emerging in the 1950s as teenagers gained more independence and free time. Early films like "The Wild One" (1953) and "Rock Around the Clock" (1956) explored themes of rebellion and youth culture. Common conventions of teen comedies include portrayals of high school, proms, parties, relationships, and social groups. Notable teen comedy franchises from subsequent decades include "Grease" (1978), "The Breakfast Club" (1985), and "Mean Girls" (2004), which showcase the evolution of the genre over time in addressing teenage experiences.
