The document discusses various film genres including horror, social realism, sci-fi/thriller, and rom-coms. It outlines common conventions for each genre such as locations, props, editing styles, and soundtracks. For example, it notes that urban horror films typically take place in the home and feature weapons from around the house, while rural horror isolates victims in outdoor locations. Social realist films realistically portray the lower classes using local areas and accents. Sci-fi/thrillers may require makeup, weapons, and empty locations, though some subgenres like post-apocalyptic films could be achieved with less. Rom-coms focus on relationships through melodic music, stereotyped costumes

Conventions of a mob gangster film
In the opening scene of the gangster film, traditional costumes of black suits and props of guns and knives are used. Dark lighting creates a tense atmosphere as something ominous is about to happen. Various shot types like close-ups, mid shots and long shots are employed to follow the characters and focus on objects of significance. The scene starts with titles accompanied by non-diegetic sound to set the tone before cutting to diegetic dialogue and action that advances the plot.
Assignment 10
The document analyzes and summarizes 15 different opening title sequences from horror films. It observes that most OTS are symbolic and use techniques like asynchronous sound, narrative enigmas through headings, and mise-en-scene to represent characters. Specific films highlighted include The Walking Dead, which uses a dark color palette and abandoned locations to set an ominous tone without characters, and Evil Dead, which has a nonlinear sequence showing blood spreading to foreshadow violence in a gory yet unconventional way using opera music. The document discusses how opening sequences prepare audiences for films through setting atmosphere, mood, and leaving questions unanswered to generate interest.

Genre research
Horror films are relatively easy to make as they do not require many computer effects and can use everyday locations like haunted houses, woods, and alleys to create tension. Common props include sharp objects, fake blood, and cobwebs. Successful horror films have a fast, jumpy editing pace to keep the audience unsure of what will happen next. Villains like ghosts or killers are usually not clearly shown to maintain mystery. Screams and location sounds build an eerie atmosphere.
Comedy films require an exceptional script but have flexible locations. Characters with clashing personalities form unexpected friendships and props like alcohol fuel humor. The editing pace is fairly constant and music has an upbeat tone.

Close-ups are used to heighten emotions and create discomfort by showing graphic details. Non-diegetic sounds like loud music build tension, while screams and effects scare viewers. Fast editing, like quick montages or cross-cutting between scenes, stresses audiences and tricks them. Common settings isolate characters in frightening locations. Costumes become torn throughout to indicate danger, while villains have dark, masked appearances to blend into scenes.

Media powerpoint
My target audience is similar to readers of Kerrang and Rocksound magazines, which are mainstream publications targeting scene kids, moshers, goths and skaters aged 15-24. My magazine would likely be published by companies like Bauer Media, who publishes Kerrang and Sonic magazine, with a similar genre focus. These magazines are considered niche despite their mainstream distribution through shops like HMV and supermarkets that target my audience.
Photography research
This photo of a live music performance could be used on a double page spread in a magazine. The out of focus background shows a large, excited crowd but draws attention to the main band member in the center of the frame, giving him dominance. Seeing the artist hiding behind their hair could suggest shy characteristics that the enthusiastic crowd helps establish. This photo helps viewers feel like they experienced the live event.
