The document discusses a horror film project. It summarizes that the film follows horror film conventions like having an antagonist (a spiritual demon) stalking the protagonist (the male actor). It aims to achieve originality while maintaining these conventions. It varies from stereotypes by having the male as the victim rather than the female, allowing both genders to relate more. The antagonist is portrayed as an unknown figure to create fear and mystery. It also features a teenage protagonist rather than the typical 20+ female, appealing to teenage audiences.

Teeth&the slumber party massacre
The document summarizes and compares two horror films:
1) "Close Your Eyes For a Second And.. Sleep Forever" from 1982 which was intended to be feminist but portrayed women as inferior and upheld Freud's theory of male sadism and female voyeurism. It used conventions of the horror genre.
2) "Teeth" from 2008 which was a feminist horror-comedy with a female protagonist who could defend herself. It subverted expectations by having women receive gratification from male pain instead of the other way around.
Both films are analyzed based on psychological theory, direction, genre, and how they portray gender through camerawork, sound, and mise-en-scene.
Media product
The document discusses how the media product Bird Call was influenced by and references the horror film Friday the 13th. Some key similarities discussed include:
1) Both films feature groups of teenagers entering woods for illegal reasons like underage drinking or drug use.
2) The establishing shots in both films depict isolated, deserted wooded areas to set the tone of danger.
3) The films include bonding scenes between friends at their campsites as well as the use of diegetic sounds like birds or crickets.
4) Elements like a splash of red in the title reference the expected brutal and bloody deaths that are a convention of the slasher film genre.
Descent criteria
The film successfully changed the representation of women in horror films. All six female characters are independent and capable of escaping death, going against typical horror film stereotypes of having a smart, clumsy, and risk-taking character. Younger sister Sam plays an important role by using her medical knowledge to help another character, showing that age and ability are not tied to survival. The film also differed by having little graphic sexual content, focusing more on psychological horror than using sex as a death sentence for female characters.
The film achieved its intended purposes of being financially successful, entertaining audiences, and being scary and gory. It made money on a small budget, was entertaining even to non-horror fans, and fulfilled its goal of
Cast Choices
1) The document discusses the cast choices for the roles of Detective, Charlotte Adams, and The Shades in an upcoming film.
2) Jacob Warne, the author's brother, was cast as the Detective due to his height and build matching the role despite being younger than the character.
3) Ellie Weston, the sister of one of the producer's, was cast as Charlotte Adams because at 13 she fits the convention of portraying young girls as vulnerable victims.
4) Three actors - Josh Marshall, Elliott Doyle, and Nathan Harding - were cast as The Shades for their similar builds and dressed entirely in black to create confusion and match conventions of portraying villains.

District 9. short
District 9 is a sci-fi film directed by Neill Blomkamp that depicts aliens living in shanty towns among humans in South Africa. The film received critical acclaim and was praised for subverting typical alien invasion tropes. It portrays the South African government initially helping the aliens but later hiding things and creating conspiracy theories. The main character starts as unlikable but gains sympathy from the audience as he takes the aliens' side against government oppression.
Character Theory Assignment
Erving Goffman proposed a character theory that analyzes characters based on their roles in media. According to his theory, there are four main character types: the protagonist, who is the leading or major character; the deuteragonist, who is the second most important character; the bit player, who is a minor character with unknown background; and the fool, who uses humor to convey messages. These character types are exemplified in the 2006 film She's the Man, where Viola Hastings is the protagonist whose story the film revolves around, Duke Orsino is the deuteragonist whose relationship with Viola is central, James Kirk plays a minor bit player role as Viola's brother Sebastian, and Vi

- "Shift" explores social penetration, expectation violation, and deception theories regarding a relationship.
- "Blue Bustamante" relates expectation violation, uncertainty reduction, and attribution theories to scenes.
- "Ganito Kami Noon" focuses on attribution theory and what attributes make someone truly Filipino.
Final Paper MARY ANNE JANET R. MELLENDO
The document summarizes key scenes and theories from three Filipino films - Shift, Blue Bustamante, and Kabisera. In Shift, social penetration and attribution theories are seen as relationships develop between coworkers. Blue Bustamante shows attribution theory when a character explains his choices, and reinforcement theory as someone pursues a relationship. Kabisera demonstrates interpersonal deception, reinforcement, and elaboration likelihood model theories regarding drug use and its consequences. A second film discussed applies reinforcement theory to how conquerors influenced Filipinos' identity and perspectives.

The opening will feature tension and suspense built through music before revealing the stalker watching the friends through their home.

The document then provides an example analysis of the animated movie Finding Nemo, identifying Nemo as the protagonist, his father Marlin as the deuterogonist, and Dory the blue fish as the fool character.
Evaluation question 2
The document discusses how different film techniques are used to portray differences in class, status, age, and race. Class and status are portrayed as distinct, with characters of lower class sometimes having higher status, as seen in films like "Ill Manors." Age is also used to indicate status, with younger characters shot from above in a way that makes them seem insecure and of lower importance. Mise-en-scene elements like a bloodied bat are used to suggest the underground world's reliance on violence over discussion. Race is highlighted through editing that favors white male characters over black protagonists, showing how racial power dynamics can still be at play even when a minority has the leading role.

Horror
The document summarizes research on common elements of horror, fantasy, and action movie genres by analyzing trailers for films in each genre. For horror films, the analyzed trailers had dark lighting, eerie silence, jump scares, unsettling music, unexplainable noises, and changing shots meant to add mystery. Common fantasy film elements included dramatic music, speeches, armies seeking revenge in foreign settings with heroes having tragic backstories. Analyzed action film trailers were unclear on specifics but included violence, fire, guns, and being part of film franchises or trilogies. The document concludes by explaining why horror films, though sometimes lower budget, can be highly profitable due to built-in audiences enjoying fear-induced
Presentation1
The document discusses representations of children in horror films. It notes that children are commonly portrayed as either the victim or a ghost. The most popular portrayal is as a "creepy little kid" who is clearly evil from the start, as seen in films about possessed orphans. These creepy children are more often girls portrayed as innocent to make their evil acts more shocking. The document also discusses the stereotypical portrayal of women in horror films, noting they are sometimes heroes who survive to the end or defeat the monster. However, males are usually the initial protagonists who are defeated, with the female then taking over.
Evaluation question 2
The document discusses how various social groups are represented in the media product. It focuses on representations of gender, including stereotypical portrayals of women as victims, psychos, and femme fatales in the opening. The opening also subverts expectations by showing the male character as a victim rather than a hero. Representations of age, race, and disability are also briefly touched on. The characters in the opening are all white and no disabled characters are shown.
Question 2
This document discusses how gender is typically represented in paranormal horror films and how the filmmakers have represented gender in their own film "The Hellion". Males are usually depicted as strong, brave "jocks" while females are weak and vulnerable. The filmmakers dressed one male character in a varsity jacket to depict him as strong and another in "cool" clothing to make him persuasive. A female character is dressed in nerdy clothing with glasses to depict her as the cynical role, going against expectations when she plays the ouija board. The document aims to show how the film conforms to genre conventions around gender representation.
Q4 evaluation
The document discusses the intended audience for a media product described as a thriller film called "PREY". It states that the audience would be around 50% men and 50% women due to elements like a female lead, action scenes, and a tense ending. It would likely attract teenagers and adults rather than children due to violent content suggested by the title and clues in the opening. The film aims to include people of all races and social classes by featuring actors of different races and portraying characters from both upper and lower classes.

While most characters conform to stereotypes, one male portrays responsibility challenging age stereotypes. It aims to challenge gender stereotypes by having a female lead but still depicts women as vulnerable at times. The main character is mixed race, challenging expectations for the lead to be white. It potentially reinforces some stereotypes around mixed race people and location.

Question 2 done
The document discusses representation of social groups in media.

However, the film opening features some countertypes, including a female detective who works alone rather than in a team as is typical. It also features a Muslim female forensic expert, rather than the usual male forensic. While the dead girl in the opening reinforces the stereotype of vulnerable females, overall the film aims to represent different social groups through countertypical characters.

Throughout, a song plays about heaven, contrasting with the evil force of the box. The sequence wastes no time establishing the supernatural themes of possession and evil that will be central to the film's plot.
Unit 10 production assignment neil
This document discusses the codes and conventions of action and thriller films. For action films, it notes they typically include intense violence, fighting scenes, and showcase the main character's abilities. Thriller films focus more on psychological elements, slowly building tension and suspense by presenting characters with difficult choices. It provides examples from films like Venom, Die Hard, Would You Rather, and Se7en to illustrate these points. Stylistically, action films use intense music, costumes showing power, and editing/camera techniques that enhance drama and chase scenes. Thriller films aim to keep audiences on the edge of their seats through mystery, danger, and life-threatening situations for main characters.
Media questions
This document contains an essay response from Clarissa Shulungu discussing their opening film sequence and characters. The key characters are a little girl presented with a demonic toy and a mysterious man of unknown identity. The little girl represents innocence corrupted by evil influences, shown through close-ups and changes in behavior. The mysterious man embodies mystery and evil for providing the toy. The characters are compared to those in the film "The Possession" for similar portrayals of possession. The intended audience is ages 15 and older, targeting females for their ability to relate to challenges faced by young girls. Elements like mystery, suspenseful music, and unnatural occurrences align with audience expectations of the thriller genre.
Question 2
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in a student thriller film. It focuses on age and gender representation.

Presentation conventions and horror
The document compares aspects of the film "Surveillance" to conventions of thriller films. It analyzes how the film uses lighting, narrative, characters of the protagonist and antagonist, suspenseful music, and aspects of violence similarly to typical thrillers. Low key lighting is used to build suspense and mystery. The narrative follows the pattern of a male killer and female victim, though subverts expectations. The protagonist transforms from weak to strong. Two deaths occur, with one shown and one implied, creating more tension than typical one death. Overall the film adheres to thriller conventions to effectively build suspense and engage audiences.

Evaluation Question 2- Jack Jones
- 2. Our media product follows the main codes and conventions of most horror films, including an antagonist ( The spiritual demon) which is stalking the protagonist ( Me, the male actor in the house) I believe that the film managed to achieve these to features effectively and still maintaining originality appealing to the viewer.
- 3. Usually when you think of a victim you stereotypically assume it’s probably a female, in distress being chased by someone of the male gender that is perceived to have more strength, power and dominance over the opposite sex. However in my opening I have switched to the male being the victim, this not only varies it up adding a unique element to the film it also allows males to relate to the situation as females can in stereotypical horror films increasing realism to both genders.
- 4. The antagonist in the opening scene is portrayed as a stereotypical unknown figure, you don’t actually see what this figure is or looks like leaving you confused and wanting to ask questions, but everyone knows the fear of the unknown is extremely effective in achieving a scary film as everybody around the world can relate.
- 5. As stated earlier females aged 20+ are usually the main cast characters in horror films that are being chased or hurt. In our film we have got a stereotypical teenager aged 17, the costumes used can relate to the majority of teenagers aged 14 – 19 and opens up a new appeal for the film as teenagers are not usually main actors within horror films so it will add interest and realism to them.
- 6. Prisoners – Prisoners are an obvious choice within horror films as they always seem to have a motive or just physiologically want to cause others pain. For example when a prisoner escapes or is released from jail after serving there sentence they often do something seriously horrific.
