The document discusses how a thriller film holds the audience's attention. It creates suspense by showing a girl walking alone at night in dark streets, leaving the audience with questions about who she is and what will happen. The background music also builds tension. Research showed that ghost girls are a popular phobia, but the filmmakers chose to go in a different direction and feature a threat "under the bed" to play on the childhood fear of monsters hiding there. The bed scene was inspired by the hit horror movie The Grudge.

Evaluation question 1
The document provides an analysis of the filmmaking techniques used in a student media project. It discusses how characterization, setting, genre, narrative, visual style, and ideology are developed. For characterization, stereotypes and props are used to indicate the antagonist and make the victim appear vulnerable. The dark, enclosed setting traps the victim with no escape. Audience research confirmed the horror/thriller genre. Enigma code and juxtaposition create unanswered questions. Visuals of the victim being tied to a chair contrasted with mundane shots establish an uncomfortable tone and disturbing assumptions without full context. The antagonist's motives and the victim's innocence are intentionally ambiguous.

RTNDproductions Pitch
The group plans to create a supernatural horror thriller centered around a young girl obsessed with her china doll. The girl is killed in a car crash and the doll is given to another girl who it begins whispering to. They chose this idea to differentiate their opening sequence and keep it simple yet effective. Research showed viewers preferred learning about the character over the story, so they will focus scenes on the doll protagonist and tell the story through it using camera techniques like shallow focus. The opening sequence will use lighting, costumes, and camera angles like low angles to create tension and mystery through the doll's dominance.

Poster analysis
This poster uses bright colors and cartoon-style images to appeal to younger family audiences. The large, clear text displays the movie's release date and studio. The genres of animation, comedy, action, adventure and fantasy suggest it aims to entertain children, who enjoy imaginary worlds. In contrast, another poster uses dull, dark colors and depicts violence like a pirate ship's destruction to seem more serious. Its genres of comedy, adventure, fantasy and action may interest older viewers, as the image of a gun implies it's not for young children.
Subgenre explanation
Supernatural horror was chosen as the genre for the media project because the fear of the unknown has always terrified people. Stories of ghosts and spirits date back hundreds or thousands of years and that fear has never gone away unlike fears of science, vampires, and monsters. Supernatural horrors also have lasting effects on audiences by making them afraid of being alone in the dark. The film "The Conjuring" inspired the project for its story of a family haunted in their new home, based on real events. This led the team to the idea of a haunted hotel/pub based on a true story of a haunted pub in England where the original owner tortured guests.
Pitch
The document provides initial ideas and audience feedback for a sci-fi movie trailer project.

Based on feedback, the second idea of strange happenings in a village is selected as it introduces characters and mystery without revealing too much of the plot. The document also notes that the trailer should include dramatic music to build tension and intrigue audiences without giving away the entire story.

Example of applying narrative
The document discusses narrative approaches used in a short film called "Torn" created for a course. It begins with establishing narrative theory from scholars like Branigan and Todorov about narratives having a beginning, middle, end and states of equilibrium and disequilibrium.

It also uses retardation and flashbacks to slowly reveal Sian's backstory and motivations. More experimental is the twist that the characters Sian encounters represent parts of her own mind. The open-ended conclusion encourages interpretation while still providing resolution and causality for Sian's actions.

It also leaves aspects ambiguous and from the female protagonist's perspective, challenging typical male-centered thrillers. By using an uncertain narration and ambiguous ending, it leaves more for the viewer to interpret, developing the convention of maintaining suspense.
SCARS
This document discusses the plot ideas and development of a student horror film called "Scars". The chosen plotline follows a girl who receives a cursed china doll as a present and is haunted by it throughout her life. The film will use common horror conventions like mirrors, screaming, and eerie music. It will have only a few main characters portrayed at different ages. The target audience is teenagers because they are most likely to watch horror films and relate to the teenage characters. Similar successful horror films like "Child's Play" and "Paranormal Activity" that also targeted teenagers are referenced for comparison.
Evaluation Question One
The document discusses how the media product, a horror trailer, uses and develops forms of real horror media. It summarizes that research was done on successful horror conventions to understand what works well. Key influences included the music in Insidious for building tension. The trailer takes more of a psychological thriller approach with some gore. Influences from Hitchcock aimed to build suspense through tension and violence. Genre conventions like lighting and music cue the audience that it is horror. The trailer follows a traditional structure of disrupted beginning and emphasizes unease. Ending with a jump scare leaves the audience wanting more. As a female-dominated group, they challenged some gender conventions in horror by having strong female protagonists and
IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT USE, DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE FORMS AND CONV...
The document discusses conventions used in horror genre trailers and how the creators of a student horror narrative project chose to conform to and subvert some of these conventions in their own trailer. They explored conventions like using blood, knives, masks, isolated settings, unexplained events, fast cuts and music to build suspense. Some conventions were subverted like using a child instead of an adult as the villain and focusing on ethnic minority protagonists rather than supporting roles. The goal was to engage different audiences while still reinforcing the horror genre.
Construction linked to theories and storyboard
The document discusses the theories and techniques used in creating a trailer for a horror film project. It describes how the storyboard helped with construction but some shots were changed or removed due to lighting issues. It also discusses how the order of shots was changed and titles were added to not reveal the full narrative. Todorov's narrative theory and concepts of equilibrium, disruption and realization were applied. The trailer also uses representations of religion, a female antagonist in line with theories, and includes an enigma and questions to intrigue the audience without fully explaining the story.
Audience Powerpoint
The document discusses targeting a thriller film's opening sequence towards a young adult audience aged 18-24. It describes several creative choices made to appeal to this demographic, such as using a young female protagonist the target audience can relate to, incorporating dark and lonely environments they would fear, and including supernatural elements often interesting to young males. Scary conventions like blood, loneliness, and an unsettling atmosphere are employed to create horror and tension through visuals and sounds.

Evaluation Q5
- 1. EVALUATION Q5 How did attract/ address your audience?
- 2. HOW DOES YOUR THRILLER HOLD THE AUDIENCES ATTENTION? Our thriller holds the audiences attention by creating suspense throughout, the girl is walking through dark lit back streets on her own which makes the audience want to know several questions: who is she? What is she doing? What's going to happen? Where is she going? All the while there is music playing throughout which becomes slowly more drastic as the film goes on. This tells the audience that something is about to happen and draws them in, making them want to watch the rest of the film.
- 3. RESEARCH We were struggling for plot story lines so I decided to do research into people's phobias.The biggest phobia I found was that of ghost girls; with videos online receiving hundreds of millions of views that are based along this story line. We decided that the majority of people would be going for a story line that consisted of a ghost girl at some point and we should try for something different and unique. So we decided to try going for the under the bed approach instead because, we also found that people feel most safe in their bed and it plays on the nostalgic sense of 'the monster under the bed' fear.
- 4. FILM BACKGROUND I was inspired for the bed scene by the hit movie: The Grudge. The Grudge is an American remake of one of the most successful Japanese horrors called 'Ju On'.
