Movie trailers often use false advertising techniques to misrepresent films and increase viewership. Scenes shown in trailers are sometimes not actually in the movie, different genres are claimed, and only "funny" or exciting bits are highlighted. For example, the National Treasure sequel trailers contained numerous shots that did not appear in the film at all. More recently, low-budget thrillers have been marketed as horror movies, a more profitable genre. Films like Mother! and It Comes at Night underperformed financially despite positive reviews, possibly due to misleading trailers that misled audiences. While false advertising is generally unethical, it is difficult to advertise complex films without risk of spoiling the movie.

Horror genre analysis.
The document discusses the horror genre of films. It states that horror films aim to shock and scare audiences through gory and disturbing scenes. The intended audience is ages 12 and up, as younger viewers could be psychologically damaged.

AS Media Evaluation Question 1
Our product uses horror film conventions like dark lighting and an ominous soundtrack to create tension. It tells the story of three teenage boys who are lured to an empty house by a killer clown called "Clownface." The narrative builds suspense by showing how the boys found out about the party and gradually revealing that their classmate is the killer. The film represents teenagers as reckless and naive in a way that would appeal to a teenage audience. However, the all-white cast may limit some audiences' ability to relate and calls for increased diversity in film.
Horror genre analysis.
Horror movies aim to shock and scare audiences for entertainment. Younger audiences below age 12 may find some content psychologically disturbing. While horror movies often include gore and shocking scenes to frighten viewers, high quality past films also used well-written scripts and dialogue to create fear.

Imagery in horror films is graphic and disturbing in nature, allowing audiences to experience adrenaline rushes from viewing supernatural and frightening content.
Thriller Genre Research
The document discusses the genre of thriller films. It notes that thrillers aim to thrill audiences through shocking plots, unexpected events, and placing characters in dangerous situations. Successful thrillers feature protagonists in serious danger to elicit audience sympathy. While early thrillers like "The Lodger" relied on suspenseful camera techniques due to technological limitations, contemporary thrillers advantage of advanced editing and sound software. The target audience for thrillers is typically mature viewers aged 18 to 30 who enjoy being intellectually challenged. One of the most influential and successful early thrillers is Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film "Psycho," which set the standard for the genre with its unsettling plot and black-and-white cinemat

Analysis of a thriller film opening
The opening of Final Destination 3 sets up an ominous atmosphere through its dark background and blue lighting, which is a common convention for thriller films. While the funfair setting is an unexpected location compared to typical thrillers, its bright colors and fast-paced rides create a sense of mystery. Non-diegetic music and tracking shots of the characters on the rides enhance the eerie feeling and draw the viewer into the film's world from the start.
Horror Conventions
Horror films often use isolated settings like small towns, forests, or abandoned buildings to make characters feel alone and increase fear in audiences. Effective use of sound is also important in horror - non-diegetic music can set atmosphere while diegetic sounds can build tension. Common props that symbolize horror include religious symbols, weapons, masks, and things related to paranormal activity or forensic investigations.
Psychological thriller poster
The document discusses conventions used in psychological thriller film posters. It provides two examples: the poster for Black Swan and the poster for Orphan. For both posters:
- The main image focuses on the protagonist's face to emphasize the mind of the characters.
- Dark colors and low lighting create an unsettling atmosphere.
- Reviews, actor/director names, and release dates are included for marketing.
- Imagery and text are purposefully designed to intrigue audiences and hint at themes in the films around ambiguity and good vs evil.

This document provides design concepts for promotional posters for a horror movie. The one sheet teaser poster would show an outline of a house to suggest murder, a pool of red water to indicate murder, and a tagline with the movie's release date. The one sheet theatrical poster depicts the shadows of parents fighting and the main character running away as teens to make the audience empathize with them. Finally, the quad/crown theatrical poster shows the main character escaping a house into a dark forest and city with a red sky to convey a sense of danger, with a dark background to indicate it is nighttime.
Horror Genre Conventions
Horror films often use isolated settings like small towns, forests, or abandoned buildings to make characters feel alone and increase fear in audiences. Effective use of sound is also important, with non-diegetic music to set atmosphere, diegetic sounds to build tension, and exaggerated foley effects like footsteps. Common props that symbolize horror include religious icons, weapons, masks, and forensic/police items associated with violence and death.
Mythsandlegends
Horror films often draw from myths and legends to develop antagonists and plotlines, heightening anticipation of the film before its release. Myths like the Blair Witch, Boogeyman, Dracula, and Bloody Mary are commonly used inspirations. Another convention films employ is taking something normally innocuous out of context to create an unsettling feeling, like playing children's music in a field or finding blood on a child's toy. These techniques rely on preexisting threats or subverting expectations to effectively build suspense and scare audiences.

Evaluation question 3
Paramount Pictures would be a suitable institution to distribute the film because it has a long history of producing successful crime and thriller films. Paramount has distributed acclaimed movies in these genres like The Godfather, which became the highest grossing film of 1972. More recent films distributed by Paramount including crime or thriller elements are Abandon, Paycheck, Double Jeopardy, Domestic Disturbance, Collateral, and Jack Reacher. Paramount also has advanced digital distribution technologies, being the first major studio to distribute a film entirely digitally with The Wolf of Wall Street.
War of the_worlds_worksheet
The document discusses Steven Spielberg's 2005 film "War of the Worlds" and the role of 9/11 in its reception and themes. It notes that the film was released just 4 years after 9/11 and had visual similarities to the attacks that bothered some American audiences. However, the document argues that the film's popularity wouldn't have been significantly affected without 9/11 references, as most viewers would be from other countries unaffected by 9/11. It also states that using 9/11 merely as a plot device or for emotional impact, without being crucial to the story, is unjustified and exploits the tragic event.
Institution research
The document discusses movie genres and box office trends. It notes that romantic comedies were the most profitable genres recently due to their popularity around Valentine's Day. Horror movies typically do best around Halloween but have more limited mainstream appeal than genres like action. To succeed financially, horror films need relatable plots. While independent groups often produce horror, major studios have gotten involved in lucrative horror franchises to distribute sequels and remakes, extending the financial success of these properties.

The document discusses how the author's horror trailer fits conventions of the horror genre and is influenced by other horror trailers and auteurs. Specifically, it used elements like intertitles, creepy music, and collision cutting between slow and fast pacing to build suspense. It also employed conventions from trailers like The Conjuring and Paranormal Activity, such as changes in music volume and low key lighting. Additionally, the trailer was influenced by the auteurs Ridley Scott and Stanley Kubrick through its music choice and use of a psycho killer character. It aimed to reflect modern fears around religious extremism while also showing how religions oppose such extremism.

The Gathering Individual Narrative
The short film idea is called "The Gathering" and is a disaster thriller genre. It follows a group of girls attending a house party where one girl decides to drive the others home after drinking alcohol, insisting she is fine. Another girl at the party has taken drugs and has a hallucination of the car crashing over a cliff. Despite warning the others, they do not believe her and get in the car. The car crashes and kills everyone as the drugged girl had foreseen. The narrative ends on a cliffhanger as the drugged girl has another vision of her own death while boarding a plane, suggesting her premonitions may come true. The narrative theory is Todorov's, following five stages of
Assignment 10
The document analyzes shots from the horror film "A Nightmare on Elm Street". It describes close-up shots of a woman who looks frightened as if she has seen the killer. Low-key lighting is used to create dramatic shadows and enhance the scary and sinister mood set by the red titles over a black background. One shot shows both the woman and the killer, making it seem as if he has caught her and is about to kill her.
Institution research
The document discusses research on the horror genre film industry. It notes that 3/5 films shown were released in October close to Halloween, when people want to watch scary movies. Graphs show that 15-24 year olds most commonly attend the cinema. The horror genre has been the 7th most profitable since 1995, averaging $19.4 million per film and $7.9 billion total. Universal is a top film distributor and has distributed 10 horror slasher films between 1981-2010, though their last was in 2010. The target market for horror films is ages 14-40 years old.
Qualitative & Quantitative Research
The document summarizes information from a survey about slasher film audiences. Most respondents were ages 16-18. More males than females responded. Respondents reported most frequently going to the cinema once a month or every other month. Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hangover were the most popular film choices. Many watch films online. Respondents rarely buy films and prefer watching in HD. Merchandise is sometimes purchased. Most prefer 18-rated films despite being under 18. Wednesdays and Saturdays are common cinema days. Criticisms of the survey include vague response options and including DVDs as merchandise.
Poster analysing
The document analyzes a horror movie poster, noting various elements that establish the genre and provide clues about the plot. These include a burning city in the background suggesting war and problems, a partially obscured sun representing hope and hopelessness, a large red "Z" symbolizing blood and possibly zombies. Text on the poster like the tagline asks a rhetorical question to intrigue viewers. Colors and imagery like a dark abandoned house and bleeding word evoke danger, blood, and death typical of horror posters.
Part of something
The trailer for the film quickly covers different psychological states like hallucinations and claustrophobia through shots showing disorientation and dust. It only shows brief glimpses of the creatures to build suspense rather than revealing them fully. Both the poster and billboard effectively portray horror through use of dark colors and images suggesting blood and struggle. The poster highlights the involvement of the studio known for films like SAW and raises expectations through quotes comparing it to Alien. The billboard creates an unsettling image through a face-like pattern in the dust and focus on the main character's face in a pool of blood.
Institution research
This document discusses research on the horror genre film industry. It finds that many horror films are released in October close to Halloween, when audiences want to watch scary movies. Younger age groups from 15-24 are most likely to attend the cinema. Horror is one of the most profitable genres, with an average gross profit of $19.4 million per film. Universal is a major film distributor of horror films, especially slasher films, though they have not released one since 2010. The document considers Universal as a potential distributor to target the 14-40 year old horror audience and achieve high profits.
Conventions of a psychological horror
Psychological horror films aim to scare and unsettle viewers through implying threats and menaces rather than directly showing graphic violence or gore. They create fear and suspense by playing on viewers' imaginations and fears of the unknown. Common conventions of the genre include dark, mysterious settings that feel realistic; unsettling sounds and music; characters that are not what they seem; low-key lighting that hides things in darkness; and weapons that harm the mind as much as the body. Popular psychological horror films like The Sixth Sense, Silence of the Lambs, and Sinister use these techniques to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
Differences between thriller movies & horror movies
Thrillers and horror movies differ in their psychological effects and depictions of violence. Thrillers rely more on plot twists and psychological elements to intrigue audiences, while horrors emphasize graphic violence and gore. For example, The Sixth Sense uses mysteries to unsettle viewers' minds, whereas Nightmare on Elm Street depicts brutal killings. Additionally, thriller movie posters suggest mystery through dark colors, whereas horror posters signal danger with red tones. Both genres aim to scare, but thrillers do so by raising questions in the mind, and horrors through sudden shocks and frightening images.
Poster analysis
This poster analyzes the movie poster for the film "Halloween" through its visual elements and conventions used.

Evaluation q3
The document discusses potential film distribution companies for the student's low-budget British horror film project. The student analyzes Studio Canal and Universal Studios as options. Studio Canal previously distributed the similar low-budget British film "The Kill List", while Universal distributed the 2004 remake of "Dawn of the Dead", which also had female leads and a similar target audience. The student concludes that Studio Canal would be the better choice as it focuses on the UK market, limiting financial risk, and they could do their own social media marketing as a low-budget film.

The document discusses genres in film and how they allow audiences to easily find films they will enjoy based on familiar conventions and expectations. Genres maintain interest by incorporating enough variety and new ideas while keeping consistent conventions. When making a horror film trailer, it is important to understand the genre's conventions to appeal to fans while also being new and refreshing. Examples of common horror conventions discussed include jump scares, psycho killers, creepy enclosed locations, close-ups, and body horror.
Why do trailers exist
A film trailer is an advertisement for a movie that will be released in the future in cinemas. It aims to attract the target audience by featuring exciting or interesting moments from the film to indicate genre and basic narrative. Trailers are a key part of a film's marketing campaign and are found in cinemas, online, and on social media to alert the general public about a film's existence before its release.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Ethics Presentation
- 1. False Advertising: Movie Trailers TOMMY MCLAUGHLIN
- 2. False Advertising A manufacturer's use of confusing, misleading, or blatantly untrue statements when promoting a product When it comes to the box office, studios are willing to do whatever it takes to get back the bottom line (production + promotion and advertising) This includes false advertising
- 3. False Advertising in Trailers Big scenes that lure the public in are excluded from the movie Falsely representing the movie Advertising the movie as a different genre than it is Including all of the “funny” bits Not referring to comedies More applicable to darker movies that may have a little bit of humor in it
- 4. Ex. National Treasure: Book of Secrets A vast majority of the trailers were made of clips that were not in the movie “Shots of the pyramids and other Egyptian landmarks. None of the movie takes place in Egypt.” “One of the most compelling sequences in the trailer shows Nicolas Cage at the Lincoln Memorial — three or four shots that make you think that this movie’s grand historical conspiracy somehow involves that famous monument. It doesn’t, and none of those shots appear in the movie.” “On the way home, what we discussed wasn’t the plot or the shaky grasp of history. It was all the good stuff we’d seen in the trailers (the ads) that weren’t even *in* the movie.”
- 5. Recent Trends Lower budget suspense/thriller movies are marketed as horror movies Horror is one of the most profitable genre of movies 2017 Box Office as of 11/13: $978,489,643 Ex. It Only Comes at Night, Mother!
- 6. Results Mother! Rotten Tomatoes Score: 69% Audience Score: 49% Box Office (Domestic and Foreign): $17,800,004 Production Budget: $30 million It Comes at Night Rotten Tomatoes Score: 89% Audience Score: 43% Box Office (Domestic and Foreign): $13,985,117 Production Budget: N/A
- 7. My Opinion Generally, I do not think it is ethical Blatantly misinforming the public and tricking them into spending money on a movie is not right In situations similar to Mother!, I don’t think there is a right way to advertise without spoiling the movie
- 8. Questions Is it ethical? Can you think of any other examples of false advertising in movies? What are other ways studios can try to advertise a movie without lying?
- 9.
