Our group, consisting of Lilly, Shannon, Josh, and Adam, was formed to create a horror film trailer. They chose this genre because they all have experience with horror films and have many ideas. They decided to name their production company "Ancient Moon Productions" because it relates to the horror genre by being spooky and questionable. During their first meeting, they worked collaboratively to decide on the characters for the trailer, who would be both female and male, and wrote a synopsis about a child whose life takes a turn for the worst when targeted by the unknown and awakens faced with his greatest fear.

Power of storytelling
Storytelling is a powerful tool that is used across different mediums. In books, stories will continue to be told until no one is left to listen. In film, storytelling allows directors to elicit emotions from large audiences. In animation, strong storytelling is needed to engage viewers rather than just visuals. In music, some genres rely more heavily on storytelling through lyrics. For effective social media campaigns, brands must define themselves through consistent storytelling. No matter the genre or medium, identifying the audience is key to crafting an engaging story.

The film will be shown in cinemas worldwide with a ยฃ110 million budget, produced by a major studio. It will be a psychological thriller with supernatural elements, focusing on a possessed little girl seeking revenge on her murdered mother. The opening scene will take place in and around an old house using practical lighting and props to set an eerie tone. The aim is to make audiences uncomfortable in a familiar setting.
Story Games (How To Play Them, And Why)

IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT USE, DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE FORMS AND CONV...
The document discusses conventions used in horror genre trailers and how the creators of a student horror narrative project chose to conform to and subvert some of these conventions in their own trailer. They explored conventions like using blood, knives, masks, isolated settings, unexplained events, fast cuts and music to build suspense. Some conventions were subverted like using a child instead of an adult as the villain and focusing on ethnic minority protagonists rather than supporting roles. The goal was to engage different audiences while still reinforcing the horror genre.
Production Conventions
The document discusses conventions in horror film production. It identifies conventional plotlines, settings, and characters for a horror trailer. Common plotlines featured in horror include kidnapping/hostage situations and possession. Settings like abandoned warehouses, houses, forests are routinely seen. Character types like demons, ghosts, and groups of friends are also conventional. Maintaining some conventions while also challenging others could make for an intriguing horror trailer.
Three Ideas For The Music Video
The document proposes three ideas for a music video:
1) Steve travels around town in a cardboard boat, escaping pirates through stop motion animation. It would be shot in one day around Norwich.
2) At a gig, Steve plays alongside a child dressed like him, creating chaos in the crowd. Two cameras would be needed.
3) Steve hijacks another band's gig after fighting with his girlfriend. It would be shot over multiple days at the venue, with a narrative shot in a home movie style.
Evaluation
The document discusses how the media product uses and challenges conventions of real horror film openings. It analyzes the horror film "Chucky" and other slashers to understand conventions like locations, characters, sound, lighting, narratives and themes. The media product aims to develop these conventions by using a park location instead of a forest, diverse characters including a black survivor, and a possessed female doll villain instead of a male one. It strives to make the opening realistic while also challenging horror genre norms.
Question 1
The document discusses how the opening of Lucy Froud's horror film conforms to conventions of real horror movie products. Specifically, it summarizes how the title, setting, costumes, props, characters, and storyline of the opening conform to conventions seen in films like Insidious, The Woman in Black, The Conjuring, and Annabelle. By using these conventions, such as introducing the main character playing with a prop that relates to the horror and leaving clues without revealing too much of the story, the opening establishes the genre as horror and leaves the audience wanting to know more, just as is typical of successful horror movie openings.
Evaluation 1
The document discusses how the media product challenges conventions of real horror films. It analyzed the horror film "Chucky" and other slashers to understand conventions like locations, characters, sounds, and lighting. The media product challenges some conventions - the main character is black and survives, while the villain is a female doll. It establishes horror elements like a dark park setting, ominous music, and storms, but aims to feel realistic for a teenage audience.
Laura Eddleston. Media evaluation!
The media product is a psychological thriller film titled "Delusion Requiem". It uses several conventions of the thriller genre including props, lighting, music, and setting. While it incorporates typical elements, it also challenges conventions by keeping the killer's identity secret and having the characters dress normally. The film represents teenagers and aims its audience at males and females ages 16-18. It would likely be distributed by larger studios known for thriller films and aims to attract its target teenage audience.

The document discusses how the media product challenges conventions of real horror films. It analyzed the horror films Chucky, Scream, and Unborn to understand conventions like locations, characters, sound, lighting, narratives, and themes. The media product challenges some conventions - the main character is black instead of being the first killed, the villain is a female doll, and characters have diverse personalities rather than following stereotypes. It develops conventions through things like using a park location rather than a forest, including pathetic fallacy weather, and employing theories of narrative structure. The goal was to create something believable yet also distinctive from typical horror openings.
Essay on the genre in film
The document discusses the history and evolution of the horror genre in film. It covers several key points:
- Horror films started gaining popularity in the 1930s with films like Dracula and Frankenstein which drew from folklore and myths.
- Different subgenres became popular at different eras, such as monster movies in the 1950s-60s, slasher films in the 1980s, and psychological thrillers in the 1990s.
- Over time, representations of gender and race in horror films have changed, with women and people of color no longer usually confined to stereotypical roles as the first to die. More recent films have featured strong female leads and subverted expectations.

Fmp contextual research (final)
The document provides information on three animation practitioners: Ray Harryhausen, Nick Park, and Art Clokey.
Ray Harryhausen was an American animator known for developing Dynamation, a stop motion animation technique. He is recognized as inspiring many future animators. Nick Park is a British animator known for creating the Wallace & Gromit franchise for Aardman Animations. He won multiple Oscars for his films. Art Clokey created Gumby, a simple green clay character known for its stop motion TV show and films. He pioneered experimental clay animation.
Props clothing and location
The document discusses props, clothing, and location for a student horror movie. It will feature common props like an axe or knife for the villain, as well as a phone used to spot the monster in a selfie and a bag and torch. The youths will wear everyday clothes while the villain needs a special rented outfit to appear different and scary. The movie will be set stereotypically in dark woods with a small clearing surrounded by trees.
Treat ment done
The film will be distributed widely in movie theaters globally and later released on DVD, Blu-ray, and streaming services. It is a big-budget psychological thriller produced by a major studio. The opening scene takes place at an ordinary family home and uses lighting, costumes, and a doll prop to set an eerie tone and subtly reveal clues about the possessed young girl and her murderous father. The film aims to make audiences feel uncomfortable in a normally safe environment like home.
Foundation portfolio evaluation
The document summarizes the conventions of horror/slasher films and how the student's opening film sequence adhered to and challenged some of these conventions. It discusses having a vulnerable victim being chased by a disguised killer. It also describes how the student's film used music, camera techniques, editing, and other elements to create tension and establish the horror genre while also subverting some expectations like using a female killer.
Foundation portfolio evaluation
1) The victim, a young girl, is chased through the woods by an unknown figure. Eerie music builds tension as the victim runs in fear.
2) The victim wakes up, revealing the chase was a dream, though a title card hints at impending danger.
3) Conventions like vulnerable victims, masked killers, and scary music were employed to set the genre, though lighting was brighter and violence was omitted to build suspense rather than gore.

Supernatural handout one
The episode confuses boundaries between reality and fiction by having the main characters transported from their fictional supernatural TV show into the "real world" of the TV show's production. This postmodern narrative technique blurs the lines between the constructed nature of the media text and reality. The characters struggle to understand what is real as they interact with actors playing themselves and the director. The episode also comments on celebrity culture and fans' obsession with social media through its portrayal of the characters uncomfortable with their celebrity lifestyle.
Lauren Anthony - Evaluation
The student's media project is a short psychological thriller film titled "Hysteria". It follows conventions of the thriller genre through its title, setting in isolated woods, costumes, camerawork and editing. The protagonist Amy begins experiencing headaches and schizophrenia. Special effects and transitions were used to represent effects in larger productions. Characters were introduced showing Amy vulnerably walking alone, representing typical thriller victims.
Coursework eval
The media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of horror films in the following ways:
1) It uses typical horror character conventions - featuring innocent blonde girl, mysterious hooded boys, and costumes that highlight innocence and danger.
2) It develops conventions through its plot of adventurous teens exploring a creepy abandoned house and sound design that builds suspense and startles audiences.
3) It challenges conventions with its typography that flickers like candle light at the end, linking to the film's theme of summoning in an unconventional way.
Evaluation q2
Adam Chatwin created a trailer, poster, and magazine to promote the movie "Unwritten." He aimed to effectively combine these products through consistency in color, positioning, and conventions. The trailer, poster, and magazine all used similar dark colors like black, red, and grey to create a gloomy tone. Key elements like the heading were positioned in the same area of each product. While the products were generally consistent, the font colors differed between the red/black poster and white/red/yellow magazine text. Overall, Chatwin believed the products promoted the same idea through different mediums, with only minor inconsistencies in font color.
Evaluation q1
The media product evaluates how it uses and challenges horror genre conventions. It uses common conventions like having the antagonist relate to an object (an old book) and includes point-of-view shots to build tension. It also follows conventions for text placement, showing the title at the end and cast/crew names at the start. One challenge was having a male protagonist rather than the typical female. While it aimed to develop music conventions, it ultimately relied on dramatic instrumental music typical of the genre.

Horror genre questionnaire
This questionnaire aims to gather feedback from its target audience of 16-34 year olds on horror films to help plan and produce the film company's upcoming horror movie. It asks questions to determine what aspects of the genre audiences like and dislike, such as their preferences for different horror film types, locations, music, and age ratings. The responses will provide insight into how to craft a horror film that appeals to this demographic.
Final plot
Joseph is taken over by a spirit after college and trapped in a dream that makes him relive his past, including his darkest moment. When he wakes in an empty room, familiar objects trigger flashbacks, some happy but others bringing back bloody, dark memories. After the flashbacks fade and his normal surroundings return, Joseph notices a bloody, smiling girl next to him before it all ends.
Magazine justification
This document summarizes two attempts at designing a magazine cover. The first attempt featured a spooky image of a woman creeping out of darkness with half her face showing and used two distinct fonts to highlight important titles and information. The second attempt was darker in tone and featured a vertical masthead design intended to be eye-catching, with consistent fonts and additional design elements like stars and buzz words to appeal to audiences. Both original image designs are included.
Audience research
This document discusses types of target audiences for horror films. It notes that different horror films target different demographic groups, such as The Cabin in the Woods targeting young couples while Strangers targets young males. The average horror audience is between 15-25 years old, as this age group enjoys feeling different emotions. Males generally enjoy horror more than females due to thrill-seeking and displays of combat. Working class communities stereotypically enjoy horror more for excitement, while higher classes have less time and may see the genre as lowbrow.
Pitch
This document provides information about a group project to create a horror film trailer. The group of four students decided to split into two groups due to having too many ideas. They came up with the production name "Ancient Moon Productions" and the film title "Our Little Secret" which involves a character accidentally killing another and sewing their mouth shut. They created a logo using moons and blue tones. The plot involves a boy named Joseph being taken over by a spirit and experiencing flashbacks in a dark room to his darkest memories alongside a mysterious girl. They developed the characters of Joseph and Mary further with descriptions and backstories. Locations chosen were a drama room and local park.
Q3
Adam received feedback from audience members on a trailer, poster, and magazine he created to promote a horror project. For the trailer, audiences felt there was a lack of dialogue, which caused confusion about the purpose and lost their interest. The poster was considered to reflect the trailer and magazine well visually but lacked content. However, Adam intended for the poster to simply promote the trailer, not provide a lot of content. Some felt the poster did not suit the horror genre or have meaning. For the magazine, audiences thought it remained consistent with the poster visually and appeared professional, but the font size and color were considered monotonous, which was Adam's intentional design choice to make the trailer more attractive.
Plot
A teenager named Joseph becomes increasingly paranoid after hearing whispers for a few days. One night while walking home late, he thinks he is mugged but wakes up in a dark room with a creepy girl in white staring at him. The girl then proceeds to torture Joseph.
Shooting risk assessment
This risk assessment identifies potential hazards for a film shoot at two locations - a media room and Babb's Mill park. At the media room, risks include tripping up the stairs, being hit by an opening door, and equipment being stolen. At the park, risks are transporting equipment by walking such as tripping or getting run over, minor injuries from walking around, students getting lost, lack of supervision leading to poor behavior, and medical issues among students. The document rates each risk by likelihood and impact to determine an overall risk level from 1 to 4.
Question 4
Photoshop was used to create the poster and magazine cover for 'Rose' as well as the cover feature for the film. While some technical issues arose, they were eventually resolved and Photoshop was used to complete the products. Specifically, the image of Rose was cut from a photo and the background was removed to feature her on the magazine cover. Photoshop was also used to change colors of images to represent them as desired, such as Rose in black and white.
Trailer feedback2
The document summarizes feedback from test audiences on the trailer, poster, and magazine for the film "Rose". For the trailer, audiences praised the soundtrack, editing, and use of the haunted house location. They also enjoyed the suspenseful buildup and final jump scare. For the poster and magazine, audiences responded positively to the font matching the trailer and the professional design. The image of the ghostly character Rose was also well received. Overall, the trailer, poster and magazine were deemed effective at promoting an atmospheric horror story centered around the character of Rose.
Horror Genre
Alice Ward chose to focus on the horror genre for her A-level Media studies. Horror appeals to people's innate curiosity about dark topics and creates a strong emotional response in viewers. It also offers a wide variety of storytelling possibilities. Recent research shows that many modern horror films have exceeded box office expectations and budgets. Top-grossing directors like James Wan have found consistent commercial success directing films in the horror genre, like the Insidious trilogy. Horror movies continue to be very profitable according to statistics on box office revenues.
Shot list....
This document contains a shot list for a film titled "Our Little Secret" produced by Ancient Moon Productions in 2015. It lists 54 shots ranging from establishing shots, close-ups, flashbacks, and more to tell the story of Joseph who becomes separated from his friends in the park and wakes up in a dark room with no memory of what happened. The shots include dialogue, music, and location details to depict Joseph having flashbacks and dreaming, eventually waking to find Mary above him.
Media crime justification
Charlie and Brandon chose to create a crime genre trailer for their media project because they felt it would give them the best chance at high marks. Crime films are less common than genres like action and horror, so a crime trailer could stand out by being original. Crime also offers a variety of subgenres they can incorporate different conventions from to make the trailer more interesting. Revealing clues through the trailer, like a knife or screams, could foreshadow plot points and intrigue audiences to want to see the full film. After their experience with an action opening, they realize the importance of considering all film aspects and having a general idea of the trailer structure to research crime film conventions effectively.
A2 media work genre research
The document discusses conventions in different film genres. For action films, it notes that chases and fights between protagonists and antagonists are common, as well as quick pacing, explosions, and clashes between good and bad characters. Horror films frequently feature isolated settings to build tension, unknown threats like ghosts, and the use of cameras and dark colors. Comedy relies on bright colors, quirky characters, slapstick humor, and edited sounds. Romantic comedies usually follow a "boy meets girl" plot, focus on the workplace, and show the female perspective. Crime films typically involve drugs and weapons, reveal a character's difficult upbringing, strive for realism, and portray rude urban characters dealing with arrest or

As Media Presentation[2]1
The group's original production plan included four members but one left, requiring changes. They decided on a horror genre and storyline inspired by a member's experience. Research was done into horror conventions and successful elements. The storyboard went through revisions to improve the ending. Casting and costumes were considered to match characters. Sound, camera techniques, and typeface were researched to enhance the title sequence. A production schedule was created to shoot over two days.
Finnaaaaaaallllllllllll presentation
The document discusses how the media product (a horror movie trailer and magazine cover) develops or challenges conventions of existing media forms.
For the trailer, conventions such as production logos/credits, props/weapons, settings, characters and sound are analyzed. Paradigms and theories around these elements are discussed in relation to how they were implemented in the trailer.
For the magazine cover, conventions such as the masthead design/color, issue details, images, article previews and film title placement are analyzed. Existing Fangoria magazine covers are referenced to show how conventions were followed or developed upon.
In both cases, research was conducted into existing examples to understand conventions and ensure the media products adhered to
Media evalution main task done
The document provides an evaluation of the main task of developing typical horror film conventions in a student film project. It summarizes that the film develops conventions by having the man killed instead of the woman in the opening scene, unlike typical films, and not showing the killer in the opening scene like in Hannibal, Psycho, and Scream. This brings variety and makes the film more interesting, unexpected, and scary for viewers.
In what ways does your trailer use,
The document discusses how the trailer for the film "Shortcuts" uses and develops conventions of real media products and horror films. It analyzes several film theories and codes/conventions that informed the trailer's development, such as the male gaze theory, Burton's horror film theory, common trailer elements, stock characters, and attributes of famous horror film killers. Elements of the trailer discussed include the use of a caption to reinforce the film's theme, initially considering one song but ultimately choosing a different song to avoid overusing it.
Media evalution main task
This document evaluates the main task of a media project. It discusses how the media product develops conventions of horror films by having someone killed at the beginning, the killer not being seen, and no one trying to escape. It also represents particular social groups like young working-class people and the relationships between young women and men. Finally, it suggests that Dimension Films would be a good fit to distribute the media product because they have successfully distributed many similar horror films in the past.
Evaluation Part 1
The document summarizes how the student's horror trailer "Ring Rosie" uses conventions of the horror genre. It incorporates body horror scenes like flesh ripping to attract a horror audience. It features a "final girl" protagonist to subvert the typical male hero archetype. The trailer uses techniques like collision cutting and handheld shots to build tension. It was influenced by the works of George A. Romero and his depictions of zombies and themes of feminism. Overall, the trailer aims to challenge conventions by featuring a strong female lead amidst the zombie action-horror genre.
Reponse to planning questions
The document provides details for brainstorming ideas for a horror film opening sequence. It discusses potential collaborators, advantages and disadvantages of working together, as well as ideas for characters, plot, settings, sounds and techniques. Specific ideas include using dark, gloomy settings like a graveyard, train station or abandoned buildings. Shots may include high and low angles or point of view to convey fear. The plot would involve a 13-year-old girl who drowns, causing her mother to grieve and eventually drive her insane, making her kill herself. Film titles, production names, slogans and relevant media institutions are also discussed.
Production Meetings
The document discusses planning for a student horror film project. It outlines that the group has chosen to do a slasher subgenre film. They developed a plot and character ideas. The group decided on roles for the director, producer, writer, and camera operator. They also changed the film title, designed an institutional logo, and created pre-production materials like a storyboard, character analyses, and shooting script.
Evaluation Activity 4&5
The document discusses strategies for attracting a target audience of 16-30 year olds who enjoy pop, R&B, rap, horror, comedy and mystery genres. It summarizes how the media production draws from thriller genre conventions researched from theorists. The production follows conventions of thrillers like Orphan and The Exorcist that feature a vulnerable female protagonist with a sinister side. Sound and font design were carefully selected to create mood and intrigue based on research into thriller conventions. Characters were designed for audience identification and to follow conventions of "typical" teenagers.

Key aspects discussed include using a font with stars to add mystery, incorporating iconic horror film sounds, and creating a relatable main character for audience identification.
Question one transcript
The document provides details about the development of a film poster, short horror film, and film review for a student project on possession. For the poster, the student experimented with use of the color red which is not typically used in possession genre posters. Feedback validated this choice.

The double-page review included images, a rating chart, and positive analysis based on audience feedback to persuade readers.

Question1
The document discusses several conventions of thriller genres that were researched and incorporated into the student's media product. It covers conventions around sound, editing, camerawork, mise-en-scene, titles, binary opposites, and narrative structure. While some conventions were followed, the student also intentionally broke some conventions such as using slow motion editing rather than fast pacing and natural lighting instead of low key lighting.
Analysis of opening sequences of romantic comedy films
The opening sequence introduces the four main characters through snippets of their lives. It shows their individual backgrounds to slowly build up the story. The title of the film is then shown against a plain background. There is both diegetic and non-diegetic sound used. As each new character is introduced, the music changes to suit the situation. The editing is simple, using mainly jump cuts and straight cuts to transition between characters and settings.
How Research Has Impacted Our Ideas
This document discusses research on horror film conventions and their application to creating a horror movie trailer. It covers key elements like setting, technical aspects, iconography, narrative structure, character types, common themes and tones, and targeting the intended audience. Research included analyzing popular horror movies, theories around these elements, and marketing of the film "The Woman in Black". The goal was to understand horror genre conventions and apply them effectively when producing an original horror trailer.
