Story
This document summarizes how the media product uses conventions of real thriller genres and films. It establishes the main character and introduces a damsel in distress. It aims to engage the audience with an enigmatic opening that leaves them with questions. Typical thriller elements like suspenseful music, costumes, and plot devices are used. Locations and shots create atmosphere while revealing details strategically. Character introductions establish normality initially to contrast with later revelations. The title and credits are kept plain to suit the thriller style.
Final Ideas
The document discusses plans for marketing a crime thriller film through a trailer and magazine. For the trailer, it describes choosing scenes showing the murder and kidnapping to attract crime thriller fans. Locations were selected to fit the genre and add dark, creepy atmospheres. The murderer's costume is dark to blend in but stand out, while other characters dress casually. Props like a knife and clock add fear and urgency. For the magazine, the title 'CINE REALM' highlights films. A bold font makes the title stand out as the first thing seen. A close-up of the murderer's creepy mask is chosen for the cover to suggest the film genre and stand out from other magazines on shelves.

Question 1
While the film opening uses some conventional elements of the mystery/thriller genre, such as including a cellar setting, it also challenges conventions in two key ways:
1) It reveals the crime (a girl's abduction) upfront rather than revealing it later, involving the audience earlier in trying to solve the crime.
2) It features an unconventional element of a man in a mask, whose identity is unknown, whereas audiences normally would know the identity of the criminal.
The film title "The Absence" and red font color are meant to provide clues about the genre and narrative while not fully giving away the plot, conforming somewhat to conventions while still creating intrigue for audiences.
How to pitch a film
The document provides guidance on pitching ideas to potential producers, broadcasters, or funders. It discusses different types of pitches, including public pitches at conferences or festivals and private appointments. It emphasizes the importance of researching the target, rehearsing your pitch, having a clear 1-page summary of your project, following up after pitching, and being a compelling storyteller.
Short screenplay writing
The document discusses key elements to consider when writing a short screenplay. It identifies the protagonist as the central character who drives the narrative by having a clear want or goal. An effective protagonist also faces opposition from another character or force. The story should be told from a single point of view to focus the audience. An underlying theme relates to the audience's emotions and may not be apparent until revisions. Within the short format, style and tone become especially important to efficiently build to a climax. Techniques like point-of-view camera shots can establish tone and immerse the audience in the protagonist's perspective.
Film poster analysis
The student analyzed three film posters from their class. The first poster for the film "Transgress" resembled a road safety poster, suggesting the film may be about road safety based on the positioning of the character in the road and the tagline. The second poster for the film "Couples" provided little information about the story other than possibly involving a couple and graffiti in an urban setting. The third poster suggested the film may involve bullying, as the facial expression of the main character implied she was being bullied by the girls laughing behind her.

Todorov's narrative theory of equilibrium, disruption, recognition, and attempted repair is also applied to key moments in the trailer.
Paranormal activity ta
The document provides an in-depth analysis of the trailer for the film Paranormal Activity. It examines various elements of the trailer including narrative, camera shots, editing, sound, mise-en-scene, target audience, and how it aligns with Todorov's and Propp's theories of narrative structure. Key points analyzed include the film's use of found footage style and point-of-view shots to immerse viewers, fast editing and sound design to build tension, and targeting of younger adult demographics who enjoy thrill and horror genres.
Textual analysis
The document analyzes the camera shots, editing, sound, mise-en-scene, and other technical elements used in the trailer for the film "Paranormal Activity." It discusses how the point-of-view camera shots allow audiences to experience events like the characters. Fast editing and white noise transitions create tension and confusion. Minimal sound and diegetic screams maximize jump scares. The ordinary family setting of a house makes the story more relatable. Todorov's and Propp's theories are also used to analyze the narrative structure and characters in the trailer.
Short film conventions
The document discusses conventions that are commonly used in short films. It notes that short films need to quickly engage audiences with impactful opening scenes. Additionally, sound is very important in short films as it can have as much effect on the story as acting. The use of cliches and stereotypes should be avoided unless given a unique twist. Most importantly, short films work best when they convey a clear meaning or moral and include relatable scenes that audiences can connect with on a personal level.
Conventions
This document discusses conventions of short films that the author plans to follow for their own short film. It covers typical elements of short films like having few characters, simple narratives with twists, low budgets, lengths of 5-15 minutes, and familiar settings/situations. The author analyzes how their short film will adhere to these conventions, such as using a limited number of student characters, keeping the narrative straightforward yet complex, including a thought-provoking twist, having no budget, clocking in at around 5 minutes, and being set in a typical home environment.
2. research
The document discusses research conducted on the target audience for a short film project. A survey was administered to 27 people to understand opinions on short films, favorite movie genres, thoughts on cliffhangers, what is enjoyed about short films, and how often short films are watched. The majority favored comedy as their genre, did not like cliffhangers, enjoyed the intensity of short films, and almost never watch short films. The filmmaker aims to create an intense thriller/mystery with a cliffhanger ending and understands the challenges given audience preferences. Research was also presented on attracting a target age range of 15-30 who typically enjoy the genre due to its adrenaline and mystery elements.
Asff 2020
This document provides a summary of films viewed and masterclasses attended as part of a film festival programme. Over multiple days, the document's author watched comedy films, thrillers, animations and attended classes on creating narratives and adapting stories for animation. University showcases explored themes of work regimes, sexuality and labour rights. A guest programme on remembering WW2 focused on the Normandy landings and how to incorporate historical military elements.
Trailer analysis
The document discusses various movie trailers and some common elements found within them. It analyzes the pace, narrative structure, use of music, and how each trailer conveys information about the plot and characters. Some trailers introduce characters and story chronologically to help audiences follow along, while thrillers may purposefully leave audiences confused. Rating cards and intertitles are typically included to indicate it's a preview, not a short film. The Bridesmaids and What Happens in Vegas trailers are praised for their clever uses of intertitles and cross-cutting respectively.
Mama – analysis
The document analyzes the trailer for the horror film "Mama." It summarizes that the film tells the story of two feral girls discovered alone in the woods who are taken in but followed by the spirit of their deceased mother. The trailer effectively reveals key plot points to generate interest without giving away the entire story. Shots are presented in the order they occur in the film. The pace of editing increases during haunting scenes to build tension. Transitions and the soundtrack help set the scary tone and align with the horror genre.

A2 Media Evaluation question 4
- 1. IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR MEDIAPRODUCT USE, DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE FORMS AND CONVENTIONS OF REAL MEDIAPRODUCTS? Luke Hannon – Short film
- 2. Use • I feel that my film uses forms and conventions of real media products. • Due to excessive watching and researching of original short films. • I will go through some of the points which I feel were important.
- 3. Storyline • I have found from research that a good narrative is key in a short film. The narrative is the key in the enticement of a short film as it is short and sweet you do not have a lot of time to get your story across. Therefore its imperative that you get your point across quick. • In my film the storyline is the key part of the film as many people commented on this in feedback. I am very pleased with how my narrative as worked, it is very mysterious and confusing which is like other original short films out there. • Each short film has its own message in the storyline, mine is how he doesn’t do everything right ( Bullying, stealing, unloving etc.) and how karma can come back around and punish someone (Lost in a world where he is the only one) .
- 4. Storyline #2 • Single narrative- as my film has a single narrative and doesn’t have any subplots etc. this is very a like short films as simply you don’t have the time to tell 5 stories in 5 minutes. • This is applicable to my film as the storyline is how Tyler is a bully then comes into trouble. It would be hard to fit into the 6 minutes a subplot of Chloe cheating on Tyler for example. So therefore I have stuck to what original short films do and keep it single narrative.
- 5. Close ups • Close ups were very popular in original short films as this creates a connection between the viewer and the character. • The close up emphasises the emotion in the situation that is occurring from the characters face. • I have used plenty of close ups because as there is much audio text being said in the film, the viewer has to understand the situation and how the character is feeling from the face of the actor.
- 6. Pace • Most drama short films that I looked at were relatively slow paced. This plays a big part in creating emotion and ‘setting the scene’. • I have used this idea in my film as it shows the desperation that Tyler is in. If my film was fast paced then this would give off the wrong message. The message I wanted to give off is how if you are a bully then you will get what you deserve eventually. And the steady pace makes the viewers understand the dismal situation Tyler is in.
- 7. Stereotypes • Due to a short film being short, (ironically) I as the creator must make sure the mise-en-scene is in place to create needed stereotypes so that the viewer can relate to the film. • Without stereotypes in a short film then it will make it harder for the viewer to understand the roles played therefore meaning they would need longer to understand the film. • This isnt possible as I have only around 5 minutes so therefore I have to get my stereotypes across as quickly as possible. Therefore the costume and tone of voice are vital in the creation of Tyler’s character.
- 8. Summary • Overall I feel that my short film does use codes and conventions of real media products as it has clear links between eachother, close ups, the storyline and the pace of the film are just the vital similarities between which have to be applied. Without things such as these then the film wouldn’t work anywhere near to the same effectiveness.
