Media evalution main task done
The document provides an evaluation of the main task of developing typical horror film conventions in a student film project. It summarizes that the film develops conventions by having the man killed instead of the woman in the opening scene, unlike typical films, and not showing the killer in the opening scene like in Hannibal, Psycho, and Scream. This brings variety and makes the film more interesting, unexpected, and scary for viewers.
Question 1
The document summarizes a film opening for a crime/thriller genre film. It discusses how the opening uses conventions of the genre such as fonts, music, lighting, locations, costumes, props, and camera techniques to set up the storyline and introduce the main character Eliza.

The opening is meant to challenge conventions by developing the character of Eliza through her changing outfits and pill consumption across multiple bathroom scenes.
Representation of social groups
The document discusses how the media product represents various social groups through its opening sequence and characters. It aims the film at late teens/young adults (18+) due to its violent and gory content. While the film portrays a heterosexual relationship, it aims to represent people of all genders, races, social classes, and sexualities. The victim is the boyfriend of a girl being stalked, and the villain is a masked figure with a secret shrine room, representing the mentally unstable.
Question 1 - Media Evaluation
Our film follows conventions of the thriller/stalker genre by featuring a male stalking a female after a relationship breakup. It uses point-of-view camera shots like "Enduring Love" to make the audience feel like the stalker. However, it challenges conventions by having the stalking take place in daylight on a busy street rather than at night in dark alleys like in "Fear", to increase scare factor. The villain wears all-black clothing like in stalker films to look mysterious during daytime filming. The poster uses black-and-white like "Cape Fear" with limited color and text to convey the dark tone. The magazine cover follows layout conventions of "So Film" to look

The target audience is male viewers around ages 15 to 18 who enjoy action movies. There will be four main characters - the two student kidnappers, the student hostage, and the TV presenter.
Media evalution Christopher Demetriou
The document evaluates the conventions used in a student-created horror film. It analyzes how the film develops conventions in its editing, camera shots, sound, mise-en-scene, and location. Specifically, it does not show how the victim died, uses varied lighting, and has an uptempo scary soundtrack. It represents young people through clothes and relationships. The student concludes they should ask distribution companies Dimension Films, Blumhouse Pictures, or Universal Pictures to distribute the film since they have experience with successful horror films.

Target audience presentation dob
The document analyzes the target audience of the film "Chernobyl Diaries" to help determine the target audience for the filmmaker's own film. It finds that the main target audience for "Chernobyl Diaries" is men ages 15-24 from social class C1, as they enjoy being scared and excited. While most of the audience for "Chernobyl Diaries" was men, over a third were over age 25, likely because the characters were older. The largest percentage of the audience for "Chernobyl Diaries" was from social class C1, possibly because the characters dressed and acted like class C1.
Target audience for thriller films Ryan Quinn
This document discusses the target audience for thriller films. It notes that the target age range is typically 15-50 years old as thrillers can appeal to a wide age range. It also notes that while thrillers traditionally appeal more to males due to their action focus, including relationships can make them more appealing to women. Additionally, it states that films with more action and violence typically target working to middle-class males. The document concludes that to appeal to both genders and a variety of classes and races, the film will need to consider typical thriller conventions like action and suspense while including a diverse cast.
Evaluation q2 and q3
The document discusses how a horror film opening sequence represents social groups through its characters. The male character's identity is kept secret and he is portrayed as very dangerous, in line with stereotypical horror genre conventions. The sequence presents an uneasy atmosphere and gender stereotypes, with the male as the antagonist and female as the weak victim. The document also notes that due to the opening sequence being based on an urban myth about the Slender Man, it could be distributed by a major Hollywood studio for a worldwide cinema release and merchandise opportunities.
Evaluation Question Four
The document discusses establishing a target audience for a film opening. It analyzes research showing that the zombie genre attracts primarily males over 35 and secondarily females under 35, who are generally middle class parents. The author believes targeting this demographic of older viewers will result in more box office revenue. They rate the film PG-13 due to its mild horror/violence and themes of death/terror. Research shows thriller/suspense is the most popular genre in Britain for ages 16+, making it a mainstream choice. The target audience is concluded to be males 35 and over who are partner-oriented and middle class.
Film noir target audience
Film noir target audiences can vary in age and gender. While some experts argue the genre targets older audiences who grew up with film noirs, others believe younger viewers are interested in understanding the 1940s criminal underworld. However, more recent film noirs often receive 18+ ratings due to violence and sexual content. In general, the target gender is male, as film noirs typically feature attractive femme fatales who seduce or fall for the main male character, adding an element of fantasy for the male viewer. So in conclusion, while the target audience age may depend on the specific film, the genre generally aims for a male viewership.
Evaluation q3
The document discusses finding an appropriate production company to distribute a psychological horror film. It analyzes several potential options, including Fox Searchlight Pictures, which distributes large mainstream films and does not have a specific focus. Three independent British companies are considered more suitable: Hammer Films, which distributes British horror films; DJ Films, known for the gritty British film Kidulthood; and Between the Eyes, which produces British thriller films with rough characters similar to the documentary's film. Hammer Films is ultimately selected as the most appropriate due to its focus on horror genres and British portrayals, though no single company exclusively produces identical films.
Question 1
The document discusses how the film product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of crime thriller films. It matches some conventions, such as having a McGuffin (a videotape) that holds the key to solving the mystery, and having the murder take place in an abandoned forest. However, it also challenges conventions by having a younger main character in his early 20s and using costumes that establish a less experienced detective. Overall, the film product aims to be engaging by both matching familiar crime thriller conventions while also challenging expectations through its characters and other elements.

The cinematographer Oliver Wood does an excellent job capturing scenes from precise angles in The Other Guys. He has worked on films like the Bourne movies, Step Brothers, Freaky Friday, and Anchorman 2. Sound effects of cars in the opening car chase scene through New York City establish that it is an action film that will have more action and thrills later on. Costume choices also provide meaning, with the protagonists dressed professionally in white shirts and black ties suggesting wealth but also a potential dark side. Lighting is low-key to convey danger and mystery for the action aspects, while natural lighting for outdoor scenes maintains the comedic tone.
Advantages and Disadvantages of different genres
This document discusses the strengths and weaknesses of different film genres for production. It provides pros and cons for several genres including comedy, horror, sci-fi, rom-com, thriller, drama, action, musical, war, historical, and westerns.

Proposal for print advert
The document proposes a print advertisement for a film called "Indelible" about female genital mutilation (FGM). The ad would show a close-up of a tattered doll slumped at the end of red strings being controlled by large hands at the top of the poster, representing a child protagonist being controlled by an antagonist. The doll's black and white dress would symbolize the struggle between darkness and innocence. Blood stains on the bottom of the dress would hint at the FGM theme. The film title would appear in capital letters at the bottom, with the tagline embedded in the strings. The ad would appear on social media platforms targeting 15-30 year olds. While competing films address similar audiences
Research of opening sequences
This document discusses three films or series that provide inspiration for aspects of the student's thriller/horror film project about high school students in a forest. The Blair Witch Project inspired the setting of a forest, the idea of leaving hints about bad things happening without revealing details, and the psychological element of playing with the audience's mind. Unfriended provided inspiration for using technology and social media as the filming technique, targeting a younger audience, and portraying characters feeling trapped and relying on each other. Storytellers inspired the campfire scene setup and cinematography techniques for establishing characters and scenes.
Creative critical reflection of the movie

Media question 3
The document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute the author's media production. The author analyzes DreamWorks, Touchstone Pictures, and Columbia Pictures. DreamWorks is chosen because one of its films, Sweeney Todd, features a main character with similarities to the author's character.

Delirium Evaluation AS Thriller Opening
The student created the opening to a psychological thriller film that uses conventions of the genre like camera angles, editing, and soundtrack to build tension. A key technique was using a male victim, which is less common than female victims in thrillers and makes the audience more uncomfortable. The opening leaves the audience with unanswered questions to intrigue them. Through this project, the student learned how to overcome challenges like equipment issues and apply knowledge gained from researching successful thrillers.

It establishes a dark and isolated setting in the first scene to create an unsettling atmosphere. The second scene challenges conventions by being set in daylight. It only features a villain without a heroic character. The lighting continues conventions by using dark lighting for a murder scene and natural lighting when the body is discovered.

The document discusses conventions that are commonly found in film openings. It notes that characters and settings are typically introduced to establish the protagonist and grab the audience's attention. Mise-en-scene elements like costumes can also introduce characters. Music is used to set the genre and mood, often building tension for thriller genres. Film openings aim to engage audiences and set the scene for the rest of the film.
Analysis of title sequences and research into institutions
The document discusses key aspects of low-budget, independent, and international co-produced films. Low-budget films are produced without major studio funding and are often used by young directors to prove their talents. Many low-budget films that do not gain attention are sent straight to retail. Independent films are produced and distributed outside major studios and have limited releases but can also have wide marketing campaigns. International co-productions involve production companies from two or more countries working together on a film.

Media Evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the film trailer uses and challenges conventions of social realism films. To use conventions, the trailer was produced by BBC Films, includes symbols of violence like a police car and knife, and features stereotypical depictions of gender and clothing. However, it also challenges conventions by using two cameras instead of one, slow background music rather than fast-paced music, and depicting the main character living in a clean flat rather than a deprived location. The goal was to be realistic while also showing it is possible to be involved in crime without living in poor conditions.

Specifically, it discusses how the opening scene includes conventions like low key lighting, victims, villains, and leaves the audience with an enigma. Feedback was collected from audiences who viewed the opening scene and found it created tension. The product represents victims and criminals through stereotypes like the innocent blond female victim and hooded assailant. Both male and female characters could be victims, challenging stereotypes. Potential distributors of the product include producers of films like Kidulthood that depict social lifestyles. The intended audience is teens and older.

The student learned about film technologies like lighting and editing in creating the sequence.
Media powerpoint evaluation Jodie-Mae Howard
The document discusses the filmmaker's social drama trailer and how it challenges conventions of the genre. Some key points:
- The trailer uses slow pacing and emotion at the beginning instead of fast pacing and humor like Trainspotting.
- It shows the dangers of drugs and society pressuring youth rather than hiding problems.
- Lighting is darker to highlight the seriousness rather than a relaxed feel.
- The movie poster and magazine use mystery with a close-up of an arm holding a belt rather than showing characters. This challenges conventions of revealing the story.
- Both the film and ancillary materials use similar dark colors, lighting, and references to drugs to portray the darkness of the topic
Trailers: The Theory

It notes that the marketing campaign plays a vital role in informing potential audiences about a film. As part of a portfolio, the document discusses creating a marketing campaign for a film, including targeting the correct audience and placing marketing materials like trailers, posters, and interviews in appropriate locations.
Evaluation Q#1
The document discusses the filmmaker's choice to make a short drama film highlighting the issues of unemployment and poverty. They chose Bollywood as the industry to depict these issues through, and selected UTV Motion Pictures as the media institution. UTV is one of India's leading film studios, known for producing both Bollywood and Hollywood films. It often represents cultural films and has produced many popular drama films. The filmmaker intends to follow typical conventions of the social drama genre in their film, such as using character-driven narratives, emotional themes, and tragic endings.
Media evaluation
One girl has two personalities - her living self and her dead sister who protects her. However, her dead sister awakens and kills anyone who comes into contact with the girl. The girl realizes she must stop her sister but how do you stop a dead girl? The media product uses conventions of thriller films like graphic makeup, a weak female victim, and an attacking villain. It also challenges conventions by having a female villain and filming in a familiar college bathroom setting. Overall, the opening effectively sets up tension and genre expectations for the audience.
Thriller Media Evaluation
The document provides details about a student's short thriller film project for media studies. It discusses how the film develops conventions of the thriller genre such as having a protagonist and antagonist involved in a criminal plot. It also challenges some conventions by having a female protagonist and shooting scenes in daylight. The film represents teenagers involved in the drug trade and portrays different social groups and ethnic minorities. Potential distributors discussed include Film4 and Channel 4 as they support new British talents, and festivals that showcase short films. The intended audience is teenagers aged 15-18.
Evaluation
The film trailer produced followed conventions of real drama films through its mise-en-scene, lighting, story, text, editing, shots, and camera movements. Specifically, it took inspiration from films like The Pursuit of Happyness and Seven Pounds in its location choices, dull lighting, portrayal of a character overcoming challenges, use of opening text to introduce the protagonist, editing techniques, close-up shots, and pans. However, it also challenged some conventions by depicting a homeless teenage protagonist, who works hard rather than engaging in stereotypical delinquent behavior often shown for teenagers.

Evaluation q1
- 1. IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT USE, DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE FORMS AND CONVENTIONS OF A REAL MEDIA PRODUCT.
- 2. WAYS IN WHICH M OPENING SEQUENCE CONFORMS…. For example in my opening sequence there are titles crediting people or companies that have helped with the films. I used my film and an example from Skyfall, another action film, with a similar plot where the protagonist is forced to disappear out of the city. In the text of both of the text it show credit to a company or an individual for their contribution to the film.
- 3. THE SOUNDTRACK The sound track to the opening scene of my film and The dark knight are similar as they are mellow deep Songs. For example my sound track, made on Filmstro Creates tension and suspense as the two boys approach the drug deal.
- 4. My opening sequence shares conventions with real crime drama film, for example there is a gun shot in my opening sequence. For example another crime film film, adulthood, has a gun shot in it. This is a common convention of crime films because it conveys conflict within the film, also a gunshot intrigues an audience because it it not something that they would see everyday. SOCIAL GROUPS
- 5. SEXUALITY My opening sequence develops the stereotype of protagonists in crime action films being heterosexual. This maybe be because Stereotypically homosexuals, or other Sexes are less accepted in a working class environment. This therefore makes my film more realistic.
- 6. Ways in which my opening sequence has challenged a stereotypical crime film is because my the social class of my protagonist is middle/ upper class rather then a stereotypical working class protagonist who are usually the protagonists in crime films. HOWEVER….
- 7. Real crime films use real third Party studio companies, where as In my opening sequence I created my own film company. MY OPENING SEQUENCE ALSO CHALLENGES REAL FILMS BECAUSE… This makes my film challenge real life films because they use real film companies to help them fund their films and help create them; Whereas my film I have created my own film studio company and have had no funding or help from them.
