The short film draws influence from the plot and characters of the feature film "Jennifer's Body". Specifically, the antagonist of the short film eliminates the protagonist, similar to "Jennifer's Body". However, the short film features a shy and reclusive antagonist persona rather than a popular one. The location of the school introduces the main characters and the woods brings them into conflict. The short film also features a subversion of the "Final Girl" character type commonly seen in horror films, with the "Final Girl" character being cunning and defeating the protagonist rather than the other way around. This unexpected conclusion leaves the door open for a potential sequel.

Still Shots - Bradley Gale
This document analyzes the shots used in a student-made film trailer titled "10 'Deceit'". It discusses 10 different shots from the trailer and how they were inspired by or intentionally mirrored shots from existing horror film trailers like "The Cabin in the Woods", "Chernobyl Diaries", and "Insidious". The goal was to make their student trailer look as conventional and realistic as possible by following the established conventions for shot types and lighting used in horror film trailers.
Still Shots - Bradley Gale
This document provides descriptions and rationales for various shots included in a student film trailer. It explains that the shots were chosen to mimic conventional horror film trailer shots, such as establishing wide shots of the location, over-the-shoulder two-shots of characters conversing, and close-ups of characters screaming. Specific film trailers like "The Cabin in the Woods", "Chernobyl Diaries", and "Insidious" provided inspiration for lighting, compositions, and other cinematography elements to make the student film trailer look professionally produced and fit genre conventions.
Casting for [REDACTED]
This is my presentation on the casting choices my team and I made for our A2 production. Casting is very important for this film, as if we don't choose the right people, the film could give off the wrong genre and seem almost like a parody.
Character profiles
This document provides character profiles for the antagonist and protagonist in a short horror film. For the antagonist, George Grant was selected as the actor due to his tall, slim physique. His face will be made unrecognizable through makeup inspired by the film Smile. He will play the non-human antagonist who kills the protagonist. His costume will be dark baggy clothes and he will wield a scythe. Olivia Grant was selected as the protagonist as she fits the stereotype of the "final girl". Her makeup will be natural and her costume everyday teenage clothes to not distract from the antagonist. She will play the teenage girl struggling against the antagonist until her death.
Evaluation post 1
1) The document discusses how the media product's opening sequence uses conventions of the horror genre through elements like camera work, costumes, settings, and effects.
2) Key conventions used include a masked figure holding a knife, scenes in a dark wooded setting, a film grain filter to convey a sense of past events, and slow motion/fast motion effects.
3) The title of the media product, "Dead Dreaming," contains the noun "dead" which is a common convention for horror titles, and aims to represent the story's themes of not knowing if the main character is alive or dead.
Task 1 Evaluation
Our opening title sequence uses conventions common to thriller films. We show the events through the protagonist's perspective rather than the hero. Newspaper clippings indicate the villain has kidnapped three victims. High angle shots make the character seem watched by CCTV, as if having committed a crime. Low angle shots are used to inspire fear in the viewer who feels psychologically dominated. The main setting of the villain's hideout in the woods is shown in black and white to seem eerie. Split screens are used to show different locations while keeping the character's identity mysterious, inspired by the film Timecode.
Genre
The document summarizes common conventions in action/comedy films. Typically, the main characters are male and portrayed as the "good guy" who saves people. There is usually a "bad guy" who tries to stop the main character. Action/comedy films feature dangers like explosions, weapons, and chases. Settings are often urban areas where lots is going on. Narration and music are used to advance the plot and create comedy. Themes usually involve the main character as a detective or agent trying to complete a mission while facing a jealous adversary.
Task 1
This document provides explanations for 9 screenshots from a student film project. The screenshots show the opening distribution company logo, CCTV-style footage of the antagonist in dark clothing to seem menacing, edited shots setting the scene and showing locations without revealing identities, examples of the bold title design, definitions linking the title "Hidden" to the concealed antagonist, the antagonist studying a map, using a prop phone, and reading a prop newspaper with added effects before walking away into the distance at the end. The screenshots and explanations aim to establish tone and mystery around the unrevealed antagonist for the thriller film.

Location Ideas
This document discusses location ideas for a horror film trailer created for an A2 media studies coursework. It describes several location options considered - a graveyard, various house locations like a bedroom and bathroom, a train station, park, alleyway, school, and hospital. The graveyard, house locations, park, and alleyway were selected as they could help build fear and showcase the protagonist's deteriorating mental state. The train station, school, and hospital were ultimately not used due to issues with access or because the ideas were deemed too cliche.
Blair Witch Project 1999 vs A2 Media Remake
This presentation will evaluate and compare the trailer for the horror film Blair Witch Project (1999) to a remake created by the presenter's group. The group recreated several key scenes from the original trailer, including introducing one of the main characters, including an interview with an "old lady" describing the Blair Witch, and showing a scene of one character appearing lost in the woods. The presentation will analyze the effectiveness of specific shots and elements used in both the original trailer and the group's remake.
What makes a good photograph?
The document discusses a horror film poster photograph. It notes that the poster only shows the face of the killer, keeping the film details simple and not giving anything away. The black background signifies the horror genre and darkness. Only the killer's face is lit up, using lighting intentionally. Within the killer's eyes, another character can be seen screaming, another horror film convention.
The descent distinction task
The Descent achieved its purpose of financial success, earning a profit of over $57 million on a $3.5 million budget which enabled a sequel. It helped change the representation of women in horror films by portraying them as strong and empowered rather than the typical stereotypes. While it didn't completely change the genre, it took risks with its narrative structure by switching halfway from a thriller to a survival horror, and was original in its storytelling. This approach kept audiences engaged even if the first half was depressing, as the film progressed in unexpected ways.
Evaluation 1 (2)
This document provides an evaluation of a media product called "God of the Hill". It summarizes key elements of the film in separate sections:
1) The opening title sequence uses graffiti-style credits with the title "God of the Hill" to set the tone of the gangster thriller genre.
2) The film is set in East London, known for gang violence and drug trafficking, with an abandoned lock-up used as a stereotypical location.
3) Costumes like black hoodies and a shovel prop follow gangster film conventions.
4) Camera techniques like point-of-view shots, long shots, and tracking shots build suspense and scenery.

Cabin in the woods
Women are largely objectified in The Cabin in the Woods. Jules is portrayed as a "slut" through her revealing clothing, promiscuous behavior, and dumb blonde persona, which are all manipulated by the male scientists for entertainment. Dana subverts expectations as the more sensible and self-reliant "final girl," fighting to survive without relying on masculinity or sexuality. While Jules is sexualized and controlled, Dana exhibits agency and strength uncommon in horror film heroines.
Cabin in the woods blog
Women are largely objectified in The Cabin in the Woods. Jules is portrayed as a "slut" through her revealing clothing, promiscuous behavior, and dumb blonde persona, which are all manipulated by the male scientists for entertainment. In contrast, Dana exhibits more traditionally masculine traits like physical strength and a willingness to fight rather than cry for help. While she avoids overt sexualization, Dana is still subject to the male gaze through scenes where she is unaware of being watched changing clothes. Overall, the film depicts women primarily as objects for the male scientists' pleasure and manipulation rather than as fully dimensional characters.
Evaluative commentary1
The document discusses the creative decisions made in designing a title sequence for a spy/action film project. It aimed to follow conventions of the genre identified through research, such as using green digital font for titles, introducing cast and crew during action, and having the main character complete a mission successfully in the opening. Specific elements like a fight scene, props, fast-paced music, lighting, and having the main character work alone at night were incorporated to engage the audience and establish the "typical hero" of this genre. The goal was to set the scene for the film and build a relationship with the audience through adhering to researched conventions.
Analysis of 3 Short Films
This summarizes a research task analyzing three short films:
1) "Red Handed" (2016) is about a jogger who finds a dead body in the woods. It uses realistic props and high key lighting in a believable outdoor setting.
2) "Again" (2016) follows a grieving man who is psychologically tortured after seeing someone resembling his loved one in New York City. It uses lighting and locations to build suspense.
3) "Standby" (2017), a BAFTA nominated film, takes place inside a police car and uses costumes, lighting, and props to immerse viewers in the officers' experience using their radio system.
The bourne legacy trailer analysis
The Bourne Legacy trailer summarizes the plot of the film in 3 sentences:
The trailer introduces the hero Aaron Cross who is being hunted by the government for unknown reasons. It is revealed that a man who was helping Cross is actually the main villain who wants to destroy the program that Cross is part of. The relationship between Cross and a female scientist develops but they must work together to defeat the villain who is trying to kill Cross.
The bourne legacy trailer analysis
This trailer summarizes The Bourne Legacy, the fourth film in the Bourne franchise. It introduces the new hero, Aaron Cross, who is being experimentally tested but is then hunted. A villain reveals he aims to destroy the program Cross is part of. The trailer establishes mystery around Cross's identity through conflicting names. It shows Cross in action scenes and on the run internationally. Romantic elements are added through a female scientist who alternates between helping and hindering Cross. The editing, music, and cinematography create tension and excitement typical of the action genre. The audience is positioned as fans of the Bourne franchise seeking more thrills.
Question 1 - Evaluation
The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, or challenges conventions of real media. It summarizes that the product uses a murder mystery and secret agent theme adapted with a marriage element. It sets an office scene in a tight study and a honeymoon in a luxury hotel. It includes stock characters of a villain murderer and victim. The villain does not use weapons to avoid revealing his identity.
Assignment 1 task 1 unit 10 a
This document provides an assignment checklist for a unit on narrative and genre in film. It includes tasks to produce an illustrated report discussing elements of narrative like structure, characters, themes and key terms. Students are asked to analyze examples of short films and film openings using the concepts studied. The document also defines important narrative and genre terms, and discusses theories of narrative structure from scholars like Syd Field, Todorov and Campbell. It outlines Nicholas Lacey's framework for analyzing genre and asks students to apply it in their genre analyses.
Costume
The document discusses costume choices for characters in a film to influence viewers' impressions. It describes Robert wearing dark colors like black to appear mysterious with a dark side. A long black coat is chosen for Robert to look mysterious in dark lighting. Eppi will wear pink pajamas to highlight her youth and innocence. Georgie simply needs comfortable home clothes with little consideration for her costume.
Photo Analysis
The photograph is effective for a horror film poster because it only shows the killer's lit up face without revealing anything else about the plot, maintaining simplicity. The black background represents the darkness and horror genre which typically uses this color scheme. The mask looks vaguely scary to audiences, indicating it is for a horror film.
Evaluation question 1 - John Glen
The document provides a narrative analysis of a student film project that aimed to create a psychological thriller opening sequence. It summarizes how the project stayed conventional in some aspects of its narrative, protagonist, locations, and titles while also attempting to challenge some conventions. Specifically, it opened with a dream sequence and had a male protagonist suffering from memory loss. Locations included a city roof, hospital, and darkened room. The title "Existence" was chosen for being thought-provoking. Editing techniques like using black and white and close-ups were employed to clearly convey elements like it being a dream.

Anna Wylde Evaluation
Anna learned that progressing from a preliminary task to a full product requires significantly more planning, effort, and attention to detail. While the preliminary task could be completed quickly, the full product demanded weeks of planning and storyboarding to develop a complex narrative and shot sequence. Through receiving feedback and critiquing her own work, Anna gained valuable experience that will help her improve future media products.
Evaluation Question One
The document provides an analysis of how the media product "The Visitor" uses and develops conventions of typical thriller films. It compares elements of "The Visitor" like titling, camera movements, framing shots, camera angles, mise-en-scene, editing, and sound to conventions in films like "Misery", "Psycho", and "The Next Three Days". Overall, the analysis finds that while "The Visitor" incorporates many typical thriller conventions, it also challenges some conventions through its unique storytelling choices.
Media evaluation
The document discusses how the opening of a student horror film uses various conventions common to the genre. It introduces the killer through newspaper clippings and mentions of suspicious deaths, creating suspense. Dark lighting and handheld filming techniques increase tension and atmosphere. The characters include traditional archetypes like the heroic male and damsel in distress, though one female challenges conventions by being brave. Like many horror films, the main characters are a group of friends who will be targeted by the killer.

This document discusses how the filmmaker challenged conventions and used techniques from other thrillers in their own psychological thriller. They included a direct camera address to make the audience uncomfortable and feel like they were in the main character's shoes. They also blurred the point-of-view to suggest the character was on drugs or drunk. Tension was created through eye contact between strangers in shots like those passing in a doorframe.

Media studies evaluation
The preliminary task was a continuity exercise focusing on dialogue and action shots. From this to the full product, the learner feels they have progressed in planning, researching genre, framing, editing and sound. Storyboarding and creating an animatic helped with shot selection and timing. Tasks improved skills like over the shoulder shots and using a tripod. Overall, planning and preparation were found to be crucial for the success of the final product.
Question 2
This document provides a critical evaluation of a film poster and radio trailer created for a student media studies project. The poster depicts the main character surrounded by darkness and blood splatters to imply danger without revealing major plot points.

It analyzes the ident, credits, titles, shots, costumes, location, and lighting and how they follow thriller conventions like using red in the ident to connote danger and keeping the credits subtle. Some elements challenge conventions like using a soft gray text for the credits rather than bold colors. The goal was to create an opening scene that would appeal to thriller audiences while also having unique elements to stand out from other thrillers.
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conv...
The document discusses the conventions of movie openings, specifically those of the horror genre. It analyzes the opening created by the author for a horror film project. The opening both conforms to and subverts horror movie conventions. It conforms by using red credits, isolating the location, and showing the title after something dramatic. However, it subverts conventions by having the first victim be male rather than female and having a skinny killer rather than a muscular one. Camera angles and editing also both conform to and deviate from typical horror movie techniques. The author believes their opening is unique for subverting many genre stereotypes.
Horror genre
The document discusses adapting elements from feature films and short films in the horror genre to a new short film. It analyzes the shot composition, mise-en-scene, lighting, and locations used in films like "The Lovely Bones" and "The Hitcher" to build tension and fear. Specific techniques that will be adapted to the new short film include using a medium close-up shot of an antagonist in dark, deserted woods to startle the audience and create a sense of mystery and isolation for the protagonist.
Question One
This document evaluates how a student media project challenges conventions of typical thriller/horror films. It compares the project's use of conventions like titling, camerawork, framing, lighting, editing, sound, and narrative structure to well-known films like Se7en. While some conventions like jump cuts and costume colors were used conventionally, the project uniquely used a lullaby for its non-diegetic sound and revealed the villain earlier than expected, challenging thriller norms. The analysis finds the project effectively uses juxtaposition between the innocent lullaby and darker plot involving child victims.

Evaluation question 4 final cut pro
Final Cut Pro was used to edit the short film. This software provided options for editing and allowed importing music and adding transitions between shots. Filters could also be applied, such as using greyscale in one scene. The software enabled adjusting the pace of shots to match the storyboard. Overall, Final Cut Pro was versatile for the construction and editing of the short film.
Evaluation 4 done
The document discusses the use of various media technologies in the planning, research, and evaluation stages of a project. Slideshare and Powerpoint were used in the planning and research stages to document work in a presentation format. Powerpoint was used to create the slides, which were then uploaded to Slideshare and linked to a blog. Prezi was used for the evaluation question due to its focus on media technologies, allowing the user to zoom in and out of a project and share the Prezi file through other technologies like Blogger.
Evaluation question 4
In the construction and research stages, the student used Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. Photoshop was used to edit background images, such as blurring a forest scene and adding smoke. InDesign was used to layout the double page spread and import images. The student also used Blogger to document their work, which they then shared via Slideshare and PowerPoint to collaborate with their production crew.
Question 3; film
The filmmaker received feedback that the characterization of the protagonist and antagonist was unclear. Specifically, the scene where the protagonist approaches the antagonist did not establish their roles well. There was also not enough emphasis on establishing the villainous nature of the antagonist through various shots showing her mysterious persona. Adapting techniques from other films like "Paranormal Activity 3" and "Orphan" that clearly establish the creepy nature of the antagonists could have helped audiences better understand the narrative.
Question 3; crew pack
The original production crew pack timetable lacked strict time framing for filming, which led to reshoots. However, it was efficient for tracking crew availability and equipment needs. A better timetable would have allotted specific days and maximum times for shooting, props, and documenting progress to improve efficiency and avoid reshoots. As producer, a more accurate and disciplined schedule should have been created for the production crew to follow strictly.
Evaluation question 2
The combination of the main product and ancillary texts is very effective. The poster depicts the protagonist in a long shot standing alone in the trees, which directly relates to one of the key shots in the film where the protagonist stands alone in the center of the frame surrounded by trees. For the double page spread, the creator aimed to directly link it to the climax of the film. Elements like character costumes, lighting colors, and the protagonist's image were adapted from the climax scene to the double page spread layout and design.
Evaluation question 1 more added
The poster challenges conventions of real media posters in several ways. It does not include images of the actors, instead only mentioning their names. The font, background image, and color scheme were chosen to suit the horror genre. The tagline "How well can you play?" relates to the title in a punning way and directly addresses the target audience. Placement of credits and adding a URL link where audiences can find more information also develop conventions. While some conventions are followed, like hierarchical actor names, the poster aims to intrigue audiences through its ambiguous and sinister style.

- 3. Conventional character types and Subversive character types ‘The Final Girl’ - http://www.horror-movies.ca/horror_16446.html ‘’ For the uninitiated, “The Final Girl” is exactly what you think it is. Like Halloween (78) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (84), it was the last surviving member of the horrifying ordeal who happened to be a girl. In many ways, she varied from her peers in the film due to her cunning and of course, her preoccupation with anything else besides just getting laid’’. The conventional character type for a female in a horror film is the character role of ‘The Final Girl’. The Final girl is presented as smart intelligent and is usually of a good moral character. For our short film we will be maintaining the concept of ‘The Final Girl’, however she is cunning and defeats the protagonist in the end. The plot type used for the short film will be subversive to the conventional conclusion for a horror film because the protagonist will not defeat the antagonist. This is a rare conclusion for horror films. Furthermore, this type of conclusion for conventional horror feature films signifies to the audience that another sequence of the film is yet to come again and that the antagonists story is not finished.
