For a school media studies project, the student created an opening sequence for a crime thriller/gangster film with their team. They had regular meetings to develop the narrative and presentation to pitch their idea. In researching conventions of the genre, they found crime films commonly feature suspense, tension building throughout, dark lighting and colors, suits and fast-paced action scenes. Their sequence showed a man waking up tied to a chair mysteriously and trying to escape, building tension. It also featured an unconventional female lead character and revealed minimal details about the setting in Chicago and a serial killer to avoid revealing too much.

question 1
The document discusses how a media group's thriller film trailer used and challenged conventions of the genre. They analyzed 15-20 thriller films like Insidious and Orphan to understand typical conventions like protagonists, antagonists, close-up shots, scare shots, fade ins/outs, jump cuts, and tense soundtracks. Their trailer used some conventions like flashbacks, jump cuts, fast pacing, scene transitions, dialogue, credits, and shots. However, they did not want to give too much of the story away or confuse viewers, so they kept it simple and did not fully challenge conventions by maintaining an unclear narrative like typical trailers.

Question 1:Media Evaluation
Horror movies aim to scare and entertain viewers through themes involving mystical creatures, serial killers, ghosts, and other disturbing subjects. The author analyzes the opening sequences of three horror films, noting their use of camera shots, editing, sound, settings, victims, and other conventions to build suspense and fear. For their own opening sequence, the author's group challenged some conventions by using teenagers instead of children, balancing diegetic and nondiegetic sound, and not including typical props or costumes.
Quest 1
The document discusses conventions used in horror movie openings related to titles, camerawork, framing, angles, mis-en-scène, editing, and sound. It notes that research found titles typically appear over black with red or white text. Camera movements like panning create an eye view effect. Shots are framed close up to focus on danger or long to show the environment. Angles are manipulated to depict power. Victims are commonly dressed in white with blond hair. Editing uses cuts and rhythm to build tension. Sound incorporates a scary theme, dialogue for story, and sometimes effects. The production applies many conventions but also challenges expectations.

The document discusses how the media product challenges conventions of the horror genre. It used inspiration from films like "The Blair Witch Project" to set the film in an isolated woods location. It challenges conventions by having a female as the lead threat instead of the usual male. It also films during daylight instead of at night. The trailer aims to provoke ambiguity and leave the plot unexplained to pique viewers' interest in the full film. Music, cinematography using natural lighting and shots, and the poster drawing on "torture porn" conventions were used to develop the horror aspects while challenging expectations.

The document discusses how the media product used and developed conventions of the horror/thriller genre. It analyzed films like "The Hills Have Eyes" to understand typical conventions around diegetic sound, non-diegetic sound, fast-paced soundtracks, fade outs, red text titles, and POV shots. The media product challenged conventions by having younger student characters as victims and the murderer also a student. It opened with a scene set slightly in the future then flashed back to how the murderer "ended up in the mental state he was in."
Media powerpoint
The document discusses common tropes and techniques used in horror films. It notes that horror films often begin with characters going about a normal day that is disrupted by some evil force causing trouble. It also mentions the use of isolated settings like abandoned buildings that help create tension. Specific techniques discussed include using startling musical stings to emphasize scary moments and employing point-of-view camera shots to make the audience feel like they are experiencing the horror directly. The document also examines visual symbols and the distinction between good and evil elements as important aspects of horror film iconography.
Evaluation of ‘the spectator’
The document discusses the conventions used in the student's media product "The Spectator" and how it conforms and challenges conventions of real thriller films.
It aimed to conform to some conventions like having a male antagonist and female victim, using dark imagery and settings, and eerie sounds to create tension. It also challenged some conventions by having a female victim rather than male.
Common thriller conventions identified through research include plot twists, tense sounds and music, rural settings, and targeting the male gender aged 18-60. The opening sequence uses these conventions to appeal to its niche audience.
A British institution like Hammer Films would be more suited than Hollywood to distribute a low-budget, convention-following thriller due

Evaluation Question 4/5
Thomas Hope conducted research to determine the target audience for a thriller film project. He decided to focus on a young female audience after debates. Through questionnaires and interviews, he gathered feedback that helped narrow the audience and determine what themes and elements the audience preferred, such as a female lead and themes of torture. For his film, Hope aimed to make the protagonist relatable to the target audience and included conventions of the thriller genre. He also used sound and cinematography, such as diegetic sounds and music, to build tension without dialogue. Additionally, Hope planned to promote the film online to engage the target audience.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Evaluation question 1
- 2. For my AS Media Studies, my team and I had to create and develop an opening sequence for a hypothetical film in any genre of our choosing. We unanimously decided to create a crime thriller/gangster film. As this is a complicated genre to pursue, we had to have regular team meetings both in and out of class. In these meetings we had to decide the narrative of our film as well as having to create a presentation in order to pitch the idea and get it commissioned.
- 3. Before pitching our idea we researched the forms and convention commonly found in films similar to ours, they include: • Creating a sense of suspense – In our opening sequence we created a sense of suspense with Javid waking up on the chair mysteriously and then trying to escape • Tension being built throughout the film – Tension is built in our opening sequence as Javid continues to try and fail to escape
- 4. • Dark lighting – We did this throughout our opening sequence • Dark colours (red is also used frequently as the colour represents a variety of themes common in gangster films, such as anger and pain) • Formal outfits (such as suits, ties etc.) • Contained but fast paced action
- 5. • One of the narrative’s lead characters is a woman, this is quite unconventional as it is uncommon in ‘gangster’ films for their to be a lead female character. Therefore this is one way in which our film could be described a unconventional.
- 6. • Another convention, not only for crime films but films of all genres, is not to reveal too much in our opening sequence. I believed we followed this convention as we did not reveal that much information. However, an argument could be made that we revealed too little information. As we only revealed that it was set in Chicago, and that a gang or serial killer named “Locust” was murdering people.
- 7. • As well as researching the conventions within the film narrative, we also had to research the editing and titling commonly found in crime thrillers/gangster films. We found that the edits are usually smooth and we tried to follow that convention within our opening sequence. We also found that films such as “Goodfellas” and “The Godfather” have big, bold titling and so we tried to follow that convention as well.
