Thriller conventions and characters.
Thrillers aim to shock, startle, and scare audiences through suspense and action. They typically feature investigators and villains, use cliffhangers and plot twists, and deliberately confuse audiences to generate interest. Thrillers are characterized by fast pacing, frequent action scenes involving heroes and villains, and the use of camera techniques like close-ups, jump cuts, tracking shots, and different angles to create mystery, tension, and infer character emotions.
Presentation camera shots
Close-up shots allow viewers to understand a character's emotions by showing their face closely. Medium shots show a character from the waist up, revealing facial expressions and interactions. Long shots provide a full view of characters to see their costumes and relationships. Point-of-view shots enable viewers to see from a character's perspective to better understand them. High-angle and low-angle shots manipulate perspectives to make subjects appear small or powerful.

Plan of ideas a2
The document outlines three potential ideas for a film trailer: 1) A horror story about a family visiting an isolated hotel where strange events occur. This idea was rejected for being boring and difficult to edit. 2) A romantic comedy about a chance reunion between high school sweethearts. This was too complex a story to convey in a short trailer. 3) An action/comedy about two police officers teaming up to rescue the police chief's kidnapped daughter from triads. This idea was selected as it could be exciting, funny, and produced with the available characters.

It then asks if they liked the opening, would watch the rest of the film, what genre they think it is, if they think it was well shot, if they feel sorry for the main character, and if they feel they understand what the film is about. The questionnaire closes by asking if the opening fits the genre's codes and conventions well.
Evaluation 1
The document discusses how the media product (a film trailer) uses and develops conventions of real romantic comedy film trailers. Specifically:
- The trailer follows the typical childhood friends storyline seen in many romantic comedies, with a plot twist not shown to surprise audiences.
- Shots and use of childhood photos mimic how Love, Rosie introduced characters, developing conventions.
- Credits include both character and actor names, developing conventions, to avoid confusion. Font and style keep brand image and help stand out, following conventions.
- Music choices of indie, happy songs develop conventions from Love, Rosie and fit the film's tone.
- Voiceovers used throughout develop conventions but with a
editing
This document discusses editing a film project in iMovie. It explains that the preview of footage goes in the screen, while the soundtrack runs along the timeline from start to finish. When applying a 1 minute 20 second song to the film, the track was chopped up and bits were placed where they fit best with the scenes, while still making the song flow smoothly. Transitions like fade to black were used between title and footage to make the jumps and lags smoother. The iMovie toolbar has options for finding media, audio, titles, backgrounds, and transitions, which are technical features needed to create a smooth running film.
Evaluation 2
The document evaluates how effective the combination of a main film trailer product and ancillary tasks of a film poster and magazine cover are. It describes how film posters are widely viewed on different platforms to promote films and catch viewers' eyes. Magazine covers are also ubiquitous and allow viewers to learn more about a film. The creator's film poster and magazine cover keep continuity by being in black and white. The poster matches conventions by positioning characters back-to-back to imply a relationship while suggesting obstacles.

American Psycho- inspiring
The document discusses shots from the movie American Psycho that inspired the author's coursework project. It analyzes two mirror shots that use reflections effectively to make the actor look menacing. The author wants to attempt a similar mirror shot to capture both the subject and their reflection. Shots of the character's freezer and of them exercising are also discussed as ways to subtly reveal aspects of their personality. The document favors a close-up mirror shot where the actor appears to be looking at the viewer, to add an element of mystery to the character.
Titles
This document discusses choosing a typeface for a rule book on friendship. It considers typefaces commonly found on real rule books and official documents before settling on Rockwell Condensed, as that typeface most resembles the styles typically used on the fronts of rule books.
Shooting schedule
The document is a revised shooting schedule for a film directed by Millio O'Connor. The original schedule could not be followed because the director did not have a female actress cast, making it impossible to shoot any scenes. Now that an actress has been found, the new schedule lays out shooting dates for various scenes on December 2nd, 3rd, and 10th to allow filming to begin as soon as possible.
Character Costume ideas
This document provides costume ideas for two characters, Sophie and Ben. For Sophie, the author envisions her wearing casual, dark colored clothes that are trendy but not revealing, to blend in as a shy person. However, when dressing up Sophie goes all out to stop a crowd. Ben is also fashionable but wears darker colors as an underdog, though he incorporates bright patterns to show he does not care what others think. The document aims to give the characters distinct wardrobes that reflect their personalities.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Evaluation 5
- 1. Evaluation 5 How did you attract/address your audience?
- 2. Genre Conventions- Drama Exhibits real life situations with realistic characters, settings and stories Portrays journeys of character development Intense social interaction Purpose of a dramatic storyline is to move the audience emotionally Conflict – inner or outer realistic struggles- depicting hardship, difficulty and pain Structured with a climax How did I use genre conventions to attract my audience? By sticking to the typical codes and conventions of my chosen genre I intended to make it my film feel more familiar and appealing in the way of creating the right atmosphere. If I was to go against the typical codes and conventions it would make it harder for my audience to identify what genre the film is and leave them confused. In my film I have used: • A real life situation – Bullying • Character journey – Following Abe • Emotionally moving- Bullied • Conflict- his sexuality’s influence on other behaviours • Climatic – cant tell from the film opening but there is one
- 3. Camera Techniques Close ups Establishing Over the shoulder Mid shot Long shot Point of view (POV) The most common camera techniques/shots used in a drama are: In my film opening I have used a range of shots to try and give my audience a better understanding of what is going on and how my character feels. Close ups: Throughout my film opening I have used many close ups. my reasoning for this is that close ups allow the audience to read the characters facial expression better. My main character Abe is being bullied and through his facial expression you can see that he is not ‘happy’. Over the shoulder & POVs: I have used these two different shot types to mix and match with one another. These shots gives a more personal view on what my character see’s. I wanted to include them as I really wanted my audience to connect and sympathise with my main character. I have used: • Close ups • Over the shoulder • Mid shots • Long shot • Point of view
- 4. Editing I feel that I have used a range of different editing techniques to keep my audiences attention throughout my opening. I have used a more modern technique when I was showing the texts from the abusers. By putting them on the screen instead of looking at the phone it could take the viewers by surprise but also allows them to see the facial expression of my main character as he reads them; leading my audience to sympathise more with him. At the end of my opening when he is walking down the path I have cut- edited it. Where it looks as if he is cutting out bits of the walk to make the walking seem more interesting and go faster. As walking down a path isn’t the most interesting thing to watch I thought by doing this it may increase their interest in what is happening. Storyline I believe that my storyline is my USP( unique selling point) I have focused on a topic matter that is no longer socially tabooed but it hasn’t been looked at in this light. By reversing the social standing and making everyone in the world homosexual, I have attempted to reach people in an emotional way no mater what their belief is. My aim isn’t to change people’s beliefs but just to get them to see that any form of prejudice is not ok. I am sure that my film would be classed as controversial but, I think this is a good think. It would cause chatter and possibly even heated debates – maybe on how would we procreate, leading them to watching the film to find the answer to their questions.
