Our film uses nonlinear storytelling through flashbacks to challenge conventions. The flashbacks show disoriented memories from the protagonist Lucy's perspective to give insight into why she is in therapy. Camera work like close-ups of Lucy's facial expressions emphasize her anxiety and unease. Shaky camera during flashbacks contrasts with slowed footage to convey Lucy's deteriorating mental state. Blood on a knife and her reflection in a mirror at the end fit the psychological thriller genre by portraying her dark side and inner turmoil. The film's title is shown in a bold, red font that amplifies the horror elements of the genre.

Evaluation question 1
This document analyzes the film genre and techniques used in the opening sequence of a psychological thriller film. It discusses how the main character Lucy is portrayed as emotionally unstable through events at home to fit the psychological thriller genre. It then examines the use of mise-en-scene, props, and sound to further develop the characters and imply plot details without fully revealing them. Specifically, it notes how the characters' clothing, use of a cup/papers, knife, beer bottle, and mirror advance the drama and mystery of the story through visuals and implied meanings. Sound design with calm music, voiceovers, and effects of breathing/heartbeats also build tension and suspense without providing full context.
Evaluation question 5
The filmmakers intended to elicit sympathy for the main character Lucy and create tension. They achieved this by portraying Lucy as vulnerable and using sound effects and camera angles without excessive gore. They researched similar genres for inspiration and chose to focus on a young female protagonist to appeal to that audience. Feedback was used to add tension-building elements like heavy breathing and heartbeat sounds. However, omitting the death of Lucy's mother made the plot confusing for viewers without context. Future improvements could show that key scene and alter the film's color and graphics.

Comparisons are drawn between David's character and Jack from The Shining, as alcoholic men who turn violent towards their families.
Evaluation question 1
Our film uses nonlinear storytelling through flashbacks to challenge conventions. The flashbacks show disoriented memories from the protagonist Lucy's perspective to give insight into why she is in therapy. Camera work like close-ups of Lucy's facial expressions emphasize her anxiety and unease. Shaky camera during flashbacks add to the psychological thriller genre. Props like a bloodied knife hint at a dark past without explicitly showing violence. Together, these formal elements develop the conventions of the psychological thriller genre to tell a sinister story of trauma.

Evaluation Question 1
- 1. Evaluation Question 1: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? ALICE RICHARDSON
- 2. Narrative We decided to use our credits at the start of the film in a slow pace, due to it fitting with the therapy session. This also helped the audience to read them easier as they were in a bold, clear font. Our film throughout is non-linear due to cutting to disorientated, sinister flashbacks whilst our main protagonist Lucy is in the therapy session, therefore gave the audience an insight as to why she was there. In addition, we decided to do our flashbacks in
- 3. Genre and Mise-en-scene We chose the genre as Psychological Thriller due to this mainly focusing on the state of mind of a character, and also creates a sinister effect for a film. We emphasised this through placing our main protagonist Lucy, within a therapy session, and also, due to the use of our flashbacks, it helped fit the codes and conventions of this genre. Lucy’s attire was normal, casual clothing, to show the juxtaposition in how she is perceived, to the way she actually behaves. In addition, we used her house and the therapy session to create a sense of realism, due to this being an element for our psychological thriller genre. For our props, we used a knife which she used to kill her Father with. Even though we don’t see this in her flashback, the blood on it connotes that she has murdered him. Also, the use of the mirror at the end of the film fits the codes and conventions of our genre, as this is a common prop used due to it portraying the reflections of a characters inner self, or ‘dark side’.
- 4. Camera angles, Editing and Sound Throughout the first therapy session, we used an extreme close up of Lucy’s face, as we wanted to emphasise her facial expressions as being worried and upset. In addition, we also used a point of view shot on Lucy looking down at her hands, therefore showing how she was becoming nervous and anxious. We then used a shot reverse shot, to enhance the conversation and make it more clearer to the audience on what was happening and what they were discussing. We used slow paced editing all through this part of the film
- 5. First Flashback: Camera angles, Editing and Sound We used a fade to black transition when the flashbacks appeared, to show the clear contrast. We positioned Lucy on the stairs, to convey how isolated and distressed she is, but also how she is receiving no support from anyone around her. There is also a diegetic sound of Lucy exclaiming “No, not again”, with a non-diegetic sound of her parents aggressively arguing in the other room. This signifies how Lucy is in a panicked state of mind, and doesn’t know what to do as this has happened numerous times.
- 6. Second Flashback: Camera angles, Editing and Sound For the second flashback, we used a high angle shot to convey how Lucy is vulnerable, and due to her searching vigorously through the cutlery draw, it foreshadows that something sinister may happen as a result. We then used a shaky, point of view shot as due to this being fast paced, it then contrasts to the next shot of her in slow motion, walking to the door with a knife. This conveys how Lucys state of mind has slowed down, and foreshadows again that something terrible is going to occur, due to her
- 7. Final flashback: Camera angles, Editing and Sound In the final flashback, we used a jump cut effect, to disorientate the audience and show that Lucy’s mind has become psychotic. We used a loud, sinister, non- diegetic sound to act as a jump scare, and to make the film more intense. In addition, after this happens, we used a panning shot of Lucy looking at the knife, to her then moving it down. This creates suspense as the audience will be wondering as to what may happen next, but also creates a sinister effect due to the amount of blood shown on the knife. Our title of our film then follows on from this, in a bold, red, quite horror like font. This typography amplifies the genre of our film, but also connotes the ominous feel that our film creates.
