Research into psychological horror
A psychological horror film establishes seemingly normal settings and characters to create an unsettling atmosphere. Characters are often left undefined at first to add mystery. The main character is usually a woman to emphasize vulnerability. Common character types include young adults, the mentally or emotionally unstable, goths, and detectives. Music, sounds of pain and suffering, and a slow, well-paced plot enhance tension and suspense. Low lighting, fast editing during dramatic scenes, and handheld camera shots further unsettle the audience. Common iconography includes haunted houses, symbols of death, masks, screaming victims, and phallic weapons.
What is a thriller
A thriller is a film genre designed to keep viewers on edge through suspenseful action. Storylines often involve murders, kidnappings, or audiences' fears coming to life. Settings typically take place in haunted houses, dark alleys, or urban areas to build suspense. Lighting and color schemes contribute to the mysterious atmosphere, with low lighting and colors like red symbolizing blood and death.

The document outlines horror genre conventions across several categories:
Setting is usually isolated places that connote being alone such as abandoned buildings, forests, or cities. Technical elements like camerawork and editing aim to unsettle audiences. Iconography employs dark colors, lighting, and props associated with villains. Narratives follow classic structures but leave room for sequels, featuring heroes facing killers or solving problems. Character types include victims, monsters, "immoral" teens, and police officers that can be allies or adversaries. Themes commonly explored are good versus evil, the supernatural, and madness.

It relies on the characters' beliefs, fears, and hidden truths to create horror, rather than supernatural elements. Common conventions include an ordinary killer who appears normal, mysteries around their identity, a focus on the killer's twisted mind over physical weapons, settings people can relate to like homes and hospitals, and flashbacks explaining the killer's motives. This genre often targets female victims and uses children as killers, though the document proposes breaking those conventions.

Horror film basics
This document provides details about a planned horror film titled "Ring of Fire". The film will tell the story of a group of friends at a house party who decide to try contacting ghosts they've heard about on a Ouija board. Strange paranormal events begin occurring as the ghosts start communicating with the group. The film aims to challenge gender stereotypes in horror by having a female hero who can defend herself and a male character typically portrayed as the "female victim". The ghost villain will also be female to play on the idea that women are not seen as threatening.
Horror Presentation

They often feature a central villain and take place in isolated settings like haunted houses or the woods. Visual styles in horror movies commonly include shadows, low key lighting, and point-of-view shots. Iconography in horror frequently depicts symbols of death, disfigured faces, screaming victims, and weapons like knives. Narrative devices generally include a hero, villain, victim, and helper as the hero tries to save the day from the antagonist.
Supernatural horror conventions
- The main character is often the one who is possessed, becoming the antagonist as in The Amityville Horror and The Conjuring. Religious characters sometimes try to perform exorcisms to remove the evil possession.
- The stories typically take place in isolated, abandoned houses with dark histories like sites of murders. The truth about what happened is often only revealed midway through to build suspense, as in Mama.
- Common visual conventions include the use of dark, eerie colors like reds, blacks, and whites to create an unsettling atmosphere and identify the supernatural genre. Posters for films like Sinister effectively employ colors to build suspense.

Psychological horror pp
Psychological horror relies on characters' fears, guilt, and mental instability to build tension rather than graphic violence. It explores common psychological vulnerabilities and fears in a subtle way that makes audiences uncomfortable by exposing repressed parts of the human psyche. The threat in psychological horror comes from within characters rather than outside forces, exposing the evil that hides behind normality. The Shining is an archetypal example, with Jack Nicholson's slow descent into madness as the hotel caretaker becoming increasingly unsettling and climactic as he becomes the real menace, despite supernatural elements in the film.
Conventions of psychological horror films
Psychological horror films focus more on disturbing the mind than showing graphic violence. They expose common human fears and vulnerabilities in a subtly unsettling way. Settings for these films are typically very normal and familiar places like houses, schools, and hospitals so audiences can relate to the characters' situations. Sounds used don't always match the on-screen action, increasing unease. Weapons in these films are usually supernatural or psychological tricks rather than physical objects, manipulating the mind to inflict fear. Characters who inflict horror often appear ordinary with nothing to obviously identify them as the source of evil until it's revealed.

Finally, it notes how the short film Paralyzed effectively demonstrates the experience of sleep paralysis.
Semantic and syntactic
The document discusses how genre is identified semantically and syntactically in films and trailers. Syntactically, horror films follow predictable patterns of events such as introducing the protagonists, deaths occurring to create conflict, and the antagonist being defeated. Semantically, elements like dark locations, lighting, sounds, and music are used to create tension and signify danger. The trailer for "I Know What You Did Last Summer" follows some but not all of the usual syntactic events and does not reveal the antagonist or ending to avoid spoilers.
Conventions of a psychological horror
Psychological horror films aim to scare and unsettle viewers through implying threats and menaces rather than directly showing graphic violence or gore. They create fear and suspense by playing on viewers' imaginations and fears of the unknown. Common conventions of the genre include dark, mysterious settings that feel realistic; unsettling sounds and music; characters that are not what they seem; low-key lighting that hides things in darkness; and weapons that harm the mind as much as the body. Popular psychological horror films like The Sixth Sense, Silence of the Lambs, and Sinister use these techniques to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
Conventions of the murder mystery genre
The document discusses common elements found in murder mystery films. There is typically a detective or civilian trying to solve a crime by piecing together clues and evidence. A key character provides important information to help solve the brutal killing. Films feature settings related to the crime for investigating, as well as an office for analyzing clues. Editing often uses fade to blacks to add suspense, while iconography portrays dull and dark days to set a depressing mood that matches the serious events. Soundtracks contribute mellow, eerie music to build tension throughout the film. Common themes involve conspiracy or pursuit.

The document discusses ideas for an opening sequence for a film about anorexia nervosa. It includes three potential still shots that could be used: 1) a close-up shot of a character walking alone near a bridge to portray isolation and loneliness; 2) a close-up shot of a character trying to jump off a bridge; and 3) a long shot of a character walking alone near a bridge. It also discusses how these still shots were inspired by conveying the themes of isolation and loneliness.
Op sequence draft 3 part 4
The target audience found that beginning the opening sequence with a dialogue between the two girls and having the sequence take place at the character's home was suitable. They felt slow music would work well with the shots and that exploring bulimia could make for a compelling drama opening. However, some felt more enigma could be built at the end of the sequence to leave them wanting more.
Op sequence draft 3 part 5
Here are potential responses to the evaluation questions:
1. In progressing from the preliminary task to the full product, we've gained valuable experience developing our story and creative vision. We've improved our skills in areas like scriptwriting, shot composition, sound design, and working as a team.
2. Our opening sequence utilized conventions of drama films through techniques like suspenseful music, ambiguous endings, and close-ups to convey emotion. At the same time, we experimented with unconventional elements like the mysterious final shot to challenge expectations.
3. We aimed to attract a mature audience interested in thought-provoking drama by crafting a sequence that builds intrigue through subtle clues and leaves many questions unanswered.

The document outlines ideas for drama narratives focusing on emotional themes and characters dealing with conflicts. It discusses genres of drama such as crime drama, historical drama, tragedy, and comedy-drama.
It then provides ideas from four individuals. Vanessa's strongest idea involves a relationship dilemma between choosing a friend or lover. Andreea's strongest idea is about a girl who undergoes risky cosmetic surgery to get drug implants. Anna's strongest idea follows a girl developing an eating disorder. Delia's strongest idea has a girl waking up after a party and dealing with an unplanned pregnancy.
Op draft 6 part 6
The target audience for the film is 15-30 year olds as eating disorders typically affect this age group. Most audience members felt the idea of a model struggling with bulimia for a drama was good. All audience members enjoyed how the opening sequence built mystery by ending with the main character on a bridge.
Op draft 6 part 5
Here are my thoughts on your questions:
1. Using a story of a model in the opening sequence could work well as it establishes a character dealing with pressures of that profession. However, you'll want to be sensitive in your portrayal of eating disorders.
2. The locations seem suitable as they show the character's daily life and movements. Putney Bridge in particular builds tension as a location for her mental state.
3. Slow, emotional music could work well to set the tone and highlight the character's internal struggles.
4. Good drama explores complex human emotions and relationships in a way audiences can relate to. It leaves them thinking.
5. Exploring bulimia in models could raise awareness if handled
