The Conjuring 2 & Quarantine Analysis
The document discusses single camera productions and how they were used in the film "The Conjuring 2".

However, multiple cameras could be used for outdoor scenes. The document also analyzes different shot types used in the film, including close-ups, mid-shots and long shots. Parallel editing and quick cuts between scenes were employed to build tension and surprise the audience.

Task 3
A trailer is a short video advertisement that provides sneak peaks of an upcoming film to generate interest. Trailers aim to show the best parts of the film in 2-3 minutes to entice audiences to see the full movie. Trailers follow a narrative theory called the "equilibrium theory" where there is initially a balance that is disrupted, characters recognize the disturbance, and try to fix it (though trailers do not show the actual resolution). Company logos and identifiable titles are included to establish the producers and genre. Music and sounds are carefully selected to set the mood and build tension, often changing when something unexpected occurs. The goal is to attract audiences and create intrigue around the story without revealing the entire plot.
Poster Codes and Conventions!
Posters are produced to promote films and can be displayed in public spaces. They aim to catch viewers' attention and hint at the film's plot to generate interest.

They also typically include elements like the film title in a sinister font, quotes to entice viewers, and release information so audiences know when it will be in cinemas.
