The document summarizes the evaluation of a student film. It describes how the film used common horror movie tropes like having innocent characters attacked by a non-human villain in an abandoned haunted house setting. It also used low lighting and a villain that appears suddenly to create suspense. The film developed the character interactions more to keep the audience engaged in the story. A key change was making the main characters male instead of female to subvert typical horror movie gender norms.

Vladmirr propp
Vladimir Propp was a literary scholar who developed a theory of narrative structure and character types. He proposed that all narratives contain eight character archetypes: the villain, dispatcher, helper, princess/prize, father, donor, hero, and false hero. Each character serves specific functions that advance the plot. For example, the villain causes harm, the dispatcher sends the hero on a quest, and the hero ultimately defeats the villain. Propp's theory has influenced storytelling across genres like films and fairy tales by demonstrating common narrative patterns.
Evalution Part 1
The document summarizes how the media product challenges conventions of real movies. It used signs and editing to portray drug abuse and hallucinations. It challenged the "male gaze" by having an all-female cast and a teenage female heroine who solves her own problems. This goes against theories where women are normally prizes for male heroes. It also used narrative theories but challenged resolutions to keep the audience guessing. The trailer references Trainspotting and Requiem for a Dream by mirroring their posters' color schemes and close-up shots to draw in viewers.
Question 1 Amelia Ryan
The student discusses how they drew inspiration from conventions used in psychological horror films such as Donnie Darko and A Nightmare on Elm Street for their opening scene.

Colossal
Colossal (2016) was an independently produced international film involving five countries. It had a smaller budget than typical Hollywood films, which allowed it to explore themes of domestic abuse and alcoholism. Starring Anne Hathaway, the film used intertextuality and foreshadowing to tell the story of a woman who realizes she is connected to a monster attacking Seoul. Her character's ability is shown to stem from childhood trauma.
Propp theory
Vladimir Propp was a Soviet folklorist who analyzed Russian folk tales and identified their simplest narrative structures. He proposed that all fairy tales follow a specific structure consisting of 7 character types - the villain, dispatcher, helper, princess/prize, father, donor, and hero. Propp suggested these character types appear in every tale and serve functional roles that move the plot forward.
HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUPS?
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in a student film project. Female characters are portrayed as fearful victims through the use of close-up shots showing facial expressions of being lost and helpless. Male characters are more commonly villains or antagonists, and the film represents the male character as psychotic and unpredictable through his calm demeanor while disposing of evidence. Younger female characters are shown as naive through childlike clothing, while the older male character dominates scenes and uses weapons. The black male is immediately portrayed as immoral through props suggesting murder, while the white female is depicted as vulnerable through close-up shots where she appears lost and confused in crowds.
Propp's Narrative Theory and Music Videos
The document discusses Vladimir Propp's narrative theory from the 1920s in which he analyzed over 100 Russian fairy tales and identified character types and their typical roles or functions in stories. It provides examples of how some of Propp's 8 character types - the hero, villain, false hero, heroine, father, helper, donor, and mentor - apply to the characters in the Disney film Frozen. While Propp's theory works well for fairy tales, it notes that characters in modern stories may take on multiple roles or roles may be filled in non-traditional ways. It concludes that Propp's theory still provides relevance but may need flexibility or updating for contemporary works.

Targeting the poor
The document summarizes a study that tested three approaches to targeting poor households in Indonesia for cash transfer programs: proxy means testing (PMT), community targeting, and a hybrid approach. The study found that while PMT was most accurate according to consumption-based metrics, community targeting better identified households that communities and individuals themselves perceived as poor. Community targeting also led to higher satisfaction levels. However, targeting accuracy declined as communities progressed through household rankings, possibly due to fatigue. Overall, the study found communities have different, valid conceptions of poverty beyond just consumption and may better account for factors like vulnerability.

The document discusses how the media products "Torment" and "Rumour" use and challenge conventions of the thriller genre.
"Torment" is a 1920s psychological thriller that challenges stereotypes by having the female protagonist kill the male antagonist. "Rumour" is an action thriller set in the woods that features two young female protagonists being stalked by an unknown creature.
Both productions aim to follow thriller conventions like suspense, mystery, and vulnerable characters while also challenging expectations through choices like their settings, characters, and endings. Research of films like "Blair Witch Project" informed the productions' style and plot developments.
Evaluation: Questions 1, 2, 3 and 6.
The document discusses how the opening of a horror film challenges conventions through its use of characters, plot elements, and technical aspects. The female antagonist and focus on dialogue are unconventional for the genre. However, it also employs some standard horror conventions through its music, lighting, locations, and allusion to serial killers. Vertigo Films would be a suitable independent distributor given their experience with low-budget British films and promotion through film festivals and online campaigns. The process taught the student about using online resources and collaboration tools to research, plan, and reflect on a media production.

The document discusses how the student's media product, a horror thriller film titled "Till Death Do Us Part", uses and challenges conventions of the genre. It features a female villain who targets men resembling her ex-lover. This challenges the typical portrayal of women as victims and men as villains. The film aims to create tension through its dark, isolated setting and quick shots. It would likely be distributed as a TV movie or online release rather than by major Hollywood studios, due to its unconventional storyline. Merchandising opportunities are limited but could include t-shirts featuring the knife used by the villain.
Question 1
This document summarizes the process a film group took in creating their short thriller film "Sommer White" for a class project. They decided on the thriller genre to explore its conventions. In pre-production, they researched films like "Kill Bill" and "Hard Candy" to analyze how directors used and challenged conventions. Their 5-minute film followed Todorov's narrative structure theory of equilibrium, disruption, restoration. It developed conventions like costume design and sound effects through intertextuality and alluded to "Snow White." They challenged feminist film theory by having two strong female leads rather than portraying women as inferior victims.

Evaluation question 1
Our media product uses and challenges existing horror film conventions in the following ways:
We incorporate common horror film techniques like low-key lighting and isolated settings to create atmosphere, but challenge the male gaze and use of female characters as objects. Instead, we have a predominantly male-centered story with a complex, psychologically challenging plot.
While our narrative fits the horror genre with a protagonist who appears to help but is the killer, we don't fully use Propp's character archetypes. We show the killer's mental instability and how it affects those close to him, with flashbacks revealing his declining mental state.
The overarching theme is one of mental health and how it can impact both the individual and

The document discusses how the opening of a horror film media product challenges conventions through its characterization and style. Specifically:
- It features a female antagonist, challenging the typical male antagonist. Her casual demeanor undermines the male detective's authority.
- It uses slower editing and more dialogue than typical fast-paced horror openings. Tension is built through the conversation rather than cutting.
- The title uses a plain font rather than a bold horror-related font, which challenges conventions.
- Other unconventional elements include the use of a clock ticking to indicate time passing, normal clothing rather than horror-themed costumes, and conveying horror through shots other than close-ups of props.

Evaluation question 3: How does your media product represent particular socia...charlottefensomchenderit
The document discusses how the media product Tracks of Damnation represents social groups through its use of character stereotypes and archetypes. The antagonist is portrayed as wearing all black clothing and wielding an axe, supporting villain stereotypes. The secondary character Ton wears typical teenage clothing like a hoodie and baseball cap. Locations like the garage and woodland area are used because they fit horror film conventions. Props like fake blood are included to make the axe killing seem realistic without being too graphic. The film aims to incorporate archetypes but also subvert some expectations to intrigue audiences.Question 1
This document analyzes how the media product complies with stereotypical features of supernatural horror films. It finds that the intro conforms to conventions in several ways: the victims are innocent and attacked unprovoked in an isolated woodland setting, the antagonist is a possessed young girl, and the plot and editing create tension without special effects. Cinematography, sound, mise-en-scene, and color palette also match horror film tropes to set the tone and imply supernatural influence.
Structure types
1) Structure is important for storytelling as it communicates events to the audience in an organized way. Most films follow a three-act structure with an introduction, rising action/conflict, and resolution.
2) Short films similarly follow the three-act structure but must establish characters and settings immediately without long title sequences due to their shorter time frame.
3) Narratives also follow models like Todorov's five stages that move from equilibrium to climax and resolution, or Campbell's hero's journey with departure, initiation and return acts.

Close-ups are used of the characters' mysterious facial expressions and slowed eye movements. Shots zoom between characters and props like weapons and blood that implicate different characters. The setting, music, and title text build tension around uncovering which character is truly responsible for Lucy's death.
Who Killed Lucy Beale Trailer Analysis

Hidden in the shadows synopsis
Two best friends begin their first day of work delivering newspapers but come across a creepy house and decide to investigate. One friend is attacked by a demon inside the house, trapping both friends, with one eventually dying from the demon's attacks. The other friend manages to escape by the story's cliffhanger ending.
Production
The document discusses three preliminary ideas for a horror film project. The second idea is selected for development. It involves a boy who is delivering a package to a mansion but finds the door open and no one home. When he enters, the door slams behind him, trapping him inside. Wide shots would show he is alone while something controls the house. The furnishings are dark and the only light comes from a chandelier and the formerly open door. Tension and suspense will be created to appeal to audiences as a thriller/horror about stalkers and murderers.
Identifying horror
Horror movies aim to elicit intense feelings of shock and fear in audiences. Directors employ various techniques to achieve this, such as using disturbing images and characters, alarming music and sounds, mysterious monsters and villains that threaten the main characters. Effective use of low lighting and darkness also enhances the scary and realistic atmosphere, tapping into many people's innate fear of the unknown in the dark where the mind can imagine frightening things. Proper use of lighting, characters, sounds and other elements are important for generating ultimate scare intensity and suspense in horror films.
Editing techniques
The document discusses two editing techniques used in the film Horrible Bosses 2 and one technique used in the film Panic Room. For Horrible Bosses 2, it describes a match on match shot showing a character's feet and facial expressions to convey information about his character. It also discusses an eye line match shot between four characters sitting at a table to indicate they are having a conversation. For Panic Room, it mentions the camera panning right to reveal an actor's name against a city skyline to show the importance of the city to the film.
Tv dramas
This document summarizes three different TV drama genres:
1) The teen drama "Some Girls" follows four 16-year-old friends in South London dealing with stereotypes, peer pressure, and self-expression. Humor creates entertainment as viewers can relate.
2) The period drama "Downton Abbey" is set in 1912 England and focuses on a family in jeopardy without a male heir after the sinking of the Titanic. It also depicts wars like World War I.
3) The police drama "Luther" centers on a British detective solving crimes, but the dark nature of the job sometimes causes him to act violently.
My role as a director
For his foundation diploma, the director will create a 3-minute horror film opening by researching lighting, camera, sound, and visual techniques from other horror films. He will storyboard the scenes and cast characters to plan shot framing and on-set visuals. During production, the director will make camera and technical decisions, communicate with the camera operator, and direct actors to enhance their skills and meet genre conventions.
Editing techniques
This document discusses two editing techniques used in the trailer for "Horrible Bosses 2". A match on match shot is used to show the main character's feet and facial expressions as he walks into work, conveying through his expensive clothes and grooming that he is a hardworking businessman. An eye line match shot is also used around a table to switch between four characters having a conversation, with the camera at the same level each time to indicate their interest in what each other is saying.

As media extra preliminary
The document summarizes the experiences of a student directing a short film for a media studies class. As the director, they ensured actors and crew understood their roles and felt comfortable. They organized weekly meetings to plan efficiently. The main challenge was maintaining continuity between scenes filmed on different days, such as matching actors' appearances. Equipment like tripods and lighting also presented some difficulties to set up properly. Overall, the filming process went well due to the focused teamwork and effective camera shots and lighting that helped tell the story.

- 1. Evaluation The use of previous real media products were used by the typical innocent character and then a villain. This was embraced in our film by having two young males were where delivering mail and then they were attacked by a female girl who was not human. This use of characters is in most horror movies and the genders switch all the time depending on the type of focus each director is trying to cover. Another use of real media was the setting. The film was set in an abandoned, haunted house, this idea was from the film, ‘The House At The End Of The Street’, this film was a huge help in making our movie because we create a dark trailer which created a good amount of suspense in which the film ‘The House At The End Of The Street’, used low key lighting very well. Also, we used the villain to be a black object that just appears out of nowhere and is used to scare the innocent characters. We developed more on the character as we allow contacted between one of the innocent characters and the villain which makes the audience more prone to watch the film to wonder what is going to happen, but also give away some of the story line so they are not completely left in the dark. The changes we made to our movie is that the main characters were not females, as sometimes females are seen to be the most scared and not as powerful as males in horror movies so we decided to change that idea so we could go against the social norm.
