It discusses some classic horror films and common tropes like serial killers. The rest of the document covers technical elements like lighting, shots, music, and narratives that horror films use to build tension and scare audiences. It concludes by discussing the importance of characters and choosing an appropriate genre, in this case a horror film, to make a trailer for a school project.
question one
The document describes a student's horror film opening sequence that follows conventions of the genre. Dark lighting, knives and candles were used as props to create fear. The identity of the antagonist is kept hidden by framing shots to only show his body and hands, not face. Titles appear on a black background with transitions between to convey importance. The main title "Red Tears" is bold and red to stand out, with an earthquake effect to add to the horror feel. The soundtrack contains a harsh beat and sinister sounds to match the images and titles.
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

Conventions of Thriller films and Tables of Analysis
The document discusses common plot elements, narrative techniques, characters, and visual elements in thriller films. It notes that thrillers typically show a struggle between justice and injustice, feature a known antagonist and protagonist intervening in their plans, and have a growing sense of threat. The narrative is usually from the protagonist's point of view to involve the audience, and may include brief shots from the villain's perspective. Character types include male heroes accustomed to danger and villains who are physically intimidating. Cinematography in thrillers aims to build suspense through the use of lighting, camera movements, and limited color palettes.
Question 1)
This document discusses how the media product uses and challenges conventions of thriller films. It uses conventions like flashbacks, gloomy music, and a darkly dressed villain. However, it challenges conventions by using natural bright lighting to make the audience feel unsafe during daylight, dressing the protagonist in both light and dark colors to make her ambiguous, and having a strong female lead rather than the typical male protagonist. The document also discusses how it uses editing, sound, camera work, characters, color, lighting, and themes found in thriller films while putting its own spin on some elements.
1. convention of real media product
The document discusses elements included in a thriller product to build tension and engage audiences. It analyzed films to determine what to include: an enigma code related to a mysterious death at an abandoned location with a mysterious intruder. The product created enigma codes through a newspaper article about a past murder at the location and shots of an unknown person, alerting viewers the protagonist is not alone. Camera shots were chosen deliberately, like tilt shots to demonstrate the protagonist's power contrasted with over-the-shoulder shots making the antagonist seem mysterious and in control. Conventions like revealing the killer were subverted to increase tension and encourage viewers to continue watching to discover the killer's identity.
Media Q1
The media product uses many conventional forms and conventions of the crime thriller genre. The locations, costumes, props, characters, plot devices, sounds, camera techniques, editing, titles, and credits are all highly conventional. However, it challenges some conventions by showing the victim in a non-sexualized way and revealing the killer's identity very early through an extreme close-up. While most conventions are followed, some are broken to create a similar effect of mystery around the killer's motives rather than their identity. Overall, the piece draws heavily from genre conventions to create a sense of realism and familiarity for the audience.
Media(Thriller Genre)
Thrillers aim to stimulate viewers' emotions through suspense and tension. They keep audiences alert by incorporating cliffhangers and fast pacing.

This document analyzes and summarizes still images from three different films to identify how mise-en-scene, setting, camera angles, characters, and other formal elements are used to convey genre and meaning. For the first image from "The Shining," it notes how the dull colors, lighting, and close-up shot of the main character's face create a sense of horror and psychological tension. In the second image from "You've Got Mail," it discusses how the bright lighting, background bookshelf, two-shot angle of the characters looking at each other signify a romantic genre. It then analyzes student-created still images meant to depict the thriller genre and how they use darkness, shadows and crime/action
Micro elements in Scream
The document analyzes various shots and elements from the opening scene of the film Scream. It describes the title screen introducing the genre as horror through flashing red text and screaming sounds. A close-up shot shows the main character's facial expression of fear as she looks around scared. A medium shot shows her locking the door in her night clothes. Sound, camera movements, and mise-en-scene elements like the phone calls and remote location effectively set the tone and establish this is a horror film through conventional techniques.
Media research
The document analyzes the opening sequences and genre conventions of several thriller films, including Side Effects, Warm Bodies, Se7en, and Heat. It discusses how the establishing shots, titles, characters, and settings shown in the openings set up expectations for the thriller genre, such as creating mystery, tension, and portraying danger or fear through the use of dark colors, lighting, and ominous or unexplained images. However, some elements in Warm Bodies, such as a lighter-toned title font, were noted as unconventional for the thriller genre. The analyses provide examples of common techniques used in opening sequences to identify a film as fitting the thriller genre.
Question 1
The document discusses how the media product follows conventions of the thriller genre. It analyzes conventions used, such as setting the opening in a family home, using dark colors and low key lighting to build tension, and including a female antagonist instead of the typical male. Research on films like "Obsessed" and "My Bloody Valentine" informed decisions around themes, characters, and settings. Elements like costumes, makeup, target age rating, and opening credits were chosen to be conventional to thrillers and appeal to audiences. The narrative structure follows Aristotle's model of creating equilibrium, disequilibrium, and a new equilibrium.

Our film 'Psychosis' follows the conventions of a thriller genre. It tells the story of a girl, Codi, with a mental disorder that causes her to lose touch with reality and feel no emotion, which is used as a threat throughout the film.

Discuss the short film
The short film 'The Insane' follows many conventions of the horror genre through its use of music, sound effects, camera shots, editing, and themes of revenge and insanity.

evaluation question 1
- 2. The task… The task was to film, edit, and create a 2 minute opening scene for a thriller which followed the conventions of a thriller. The first stage of our foundation portfolio was the research stage. This was to make sure we researched everything we needed to know about the forms and conventions to create the final product. Without all this research, we would not have completed the final product t the best of our ability. The next stage of the course was the planning stage. This was to prepare us before creating the final product. This included dividing the roles like producer, editor, etc. Also, to create the narrative and creating pre-production work. These planning methods contributed to the making of our thriller.
- 3. Does My Thriller Follow Conventions of A Thriller? There was a few conventions used very well that showed the thriller genre. One convention was iconography. The fun was used to emphasise the theme of death, which shows the thriller genre as many thrillers show and represent death in their narrative. This piece of iconography was important as it was the main source to building tensions to my thriller. Another way in which my product follows the conventions in my thriller is because the antagonist walks in the room about to kill, this builds tension and keeps the audience engaged. Low-key lighting as used to create an eerie atmosphere for the audience. Finally, another way our final product followed the conventions of a thriller is because of the settings. We set our thriller in a house because to the audience it feels like this is a safe environment. But, it seems like in our thriller that being safe is not the case. This makes the audience feel uncomfortable. This shows that I followed conventions of a thriller.
- 4. Generic Conventions of A Thriller… My first example is the thriller film ‘Obsessed’. My thriller and this film contain the same themes (revenge, death, love and jealousy). Both our thrillers characters relate as the victims both are being targeted by the obsessed antagonist who is in love with the male character. Low-key lighting is used in both to make an eerie atmosphere which is similar to what my thriller aims to do. My second example is ‘My Bloody valentine’. This thriller also shows the themes of violence, love and death. Both thriller also have low-key lighting in order to build tension, and also has a house setting which links to my thriller. There are many deaths in this film and very explicit with the violence shown.
- 5. Generic Conventions Within My Thriller… Setting and iconography… One example is the lipstick the antagonist uses to prepare to kill the victim. This shows that she wants to look good while killing the victim. This also shows she is very confident, and likes to concentrate on her looks. An example of the setting is the house. We chose the house, specifically the bedroom for some parts, this is to also show intimacy in the 3-way relationship. This follows the conventions of a thriller as most thriller are based in the characters house to make the audience fill up with adrenaline and feel unsafe.
- 6. Costume, Hair and Make Up… The hair and make up is quite natural in all the characters. The victim has her natural, curly hair with a plain, natural look to her make up. Whereas the antagonists hair is straight, long and neat which also implies she is very confident. The victim and antagonist have a completely different look to their costumes. The victim is wearing white which shows innocence in her character, whereas the antagonist is wearing dark coloured clothing which shows her evil character.
- 7. Lighting and Colour… Low-key lighting Is used to create an eerie atmosphere for the audience for the audience. The colour of this scene is quite greyish which also follows the conventions of a thriller. This is another example of low-key lighting and back lighting. This is a slight silhouette of the antagonist which helps build suspense as it is coming to the end of the scene. This also makes the atmosphere dark.
- 8. Conventions of Target Audience and Opening Credits… The thriller that is similar to our is ‘Se7en’. This is because both credits are written in white with a simple but sharp style to it. The credits are quite blurry which brings mystery to the atmosphere.
- 9. My Thriller Following A Conventional Narrative Structure: Propp: He mainly focuses on folk tales. He believed folk tales were the same basic struggles. This means they had the same characters – Hero, villain, princess, her dad, the doner, etc. Todorov: He believed that there is a structure to a film in a 3 way part – equilibrium, disequilibrium and new equilibrium. Aristote: he believed in the beginning, middle and end idea. The events must eventually correlate to each other being necessary of course. He also believed it was important to arouse emotion from the audience and to evoke emotion. Barthes: He believed in having semiology within the narrative. He believed that narrative can be also defined by the using the following sources: Symbolic – Connotation Semic – Denotation Cultural Understanding
