The walking dead
The Walking Dead is a post-apocalyptic thriller TV show about the survival of humans living in a world overrun by zombies. Each 45-minute episode aims to entertain viewers and keep them emotionally invested in the characters through dangerous situations and occasional character deaths. The show explores how different groups cope with the lawless new world and often face greater threats from other surviving humans rather than the zombies. The setting changes locations as the characters travel, and being bitten results in a quick death and reanimation as a zombie.
media Stereotypes
This document analyzes the portrayal of gender in stalker thriller films. It notes that typically in these films, the female protagonist is presented as vulnerable and weak compared to the male antagonist. The filmmakers of this discussed thriller also portrayed the female character as vulnerable in order to conform to this stereotype of male dominance. However, they realized their stalker character, who is young with a different ethnicity than typical stalkers, challenges some stereotypes around the portrayal of stalkers in other films which usually depict white, middle-aged males.

It then describes the narrative structure with the beginning introducing two cops, the middle involving a terrorist plot they must stop, and the end resolving the plot and revealing corruption. It recommends Samuel L. Jackson and Will Smith as protagonists, Alan Rickman as the antagonist, and others for supporting roles. John McTiernan is proposed as director due to his experience. The film is pitched as comparable to "Bad Boys" and "Die Hard" but with its own twists. A 200-word pitch is provided that covers all elements.
WRITING LOGLINES
If you are having trouble formulating a concise log-line for your story, chances are your plot is suffering from DGD (Dramatic Grammar Deficiency), or - worse - that you are failing to grasp the emotional logic of what is actually going on as evidenced by the actions and interactions of the characters. If this is not the case, then basically what you have to do is, look at the beginning of the second act of your story. That is the main chunk of it. You imply Act 1 with your protagonist’s adjective of manner that contrasts them against the new world of Act 2 they have dived deep into. You also must imply the consequences of the protagonist failing in your log-line to make things not boring when you tell someone about it so they’ll want to know more.
That’s literally all there is to it.
Inseption
1) Inception was directed by Christopher Nolan and produced by Emma Thomas for Warner Bros. Pictures.
2) The target audience was teens to adults due to its 12 rating and complex plotline that could confuse and intrigue viewers of all ages.
3) The film is a thriller genre, featuring conventions like a confusing plot, action scenes, protagonists versus antagonists, and a soundtrack building tension. It leaves the viewer questioning what happened at the end, like typical thrillers.

Stock characters in horror films 2
The document outlines several common stock characters that are often seen in horror films. The wanderer is typically the first victim who wanders off and gets killed for being curious and naive. The popular girl is attractive but mean-spirited and often friends with the final girl, meeting an early demise. The jock is athletic and tries to protect others but ultimately fails when battling the antagonist. The final girl is the sole survivor and protagonist whose fear and bravery the audience experiences. Pandora's curiosity opens dangerous possibilities as they sometimes turn out to be the hidden killer. The pervert is a sexually-motivated outcast focused on lust rather than self-preservation, leading to their demise.
Killer research primary research
Freddy Krueger, Candyman, and Esther are well-known killers from horror films that follow some common conventions. Freddy Krueger uses a gloved razor hand to kill in dreams. Candyman appears if his name is said five times in a mirror and kills with a hook for a hand. Esther poses as a child but is actually a grown woman who uses manipulation to kill without obvious weapons. While they follow conventions as serial killers with troubled pasts, Esther subverts expectations by appearing as a child rather than the usual middle-aged man and hiding her deadly nature under an innocent guise.

Triumph Film is pitching a thriller film with an opening scene involving a villain who is still obsessed with his ex-girlfriend three years after their breakup. In the opening scene, the villain breaks into the ex-girlfriend's house while she is getting ready for a date with her new boyfriend, the hero. The villain confronts the ex-girlfriend with a gun before shooting her, which is witnessed by the hero. The overall film will follow the hero seeking revenge on the man who killed his girlfriend.

How do we analyze a film
Codes and conventions refer to the typical rules and techniques used in films, such as narrative structure, characterization, and visual elements. Directors either conform to or challenge conventions. Conventional films follow a linear narrative from beginning to end, with predictable character arcs. Unconventional "auteur" directors break conventions to create interesting films that surprise audiences. Pulp Fiction is cited as an example of an unconventional film, with its non-linear narrative, unexpected character development of hitmen as protagonists, and changing perspectives on scenes.
Taken
- The director of Taken was Pierre Morel and it was produced by Luc Besson's company Dune Entertainment. It was distributed by 20th Century Fox.
- The target audience was young adults who enjoy violent, thrilling movies. It was rated 15-18 due to strong drug themes.

She is kidnapped by a man who has been stalking her and taking her pictures. When she wakes up tied up, she sees her photos and notes on the walls and starts to piece together who took her. It is revealed to be a man she previously rejected who is punishing her.
Love Beats All
1) The film follows a married couple, Andros and Susan (played by Leonardo Di Caprio and Jennifer Lawrence), whose relationship has deteriorated into domestic violence and attempts to harm one another.
2) The plot involves the invention of lasers, Hulk Hogan's demise, and Di Caprio's character trying to buy a radio station to broadcast hate, which backfires and leaves him poor.
3) In the end, Andros reconnects with his deceased mother and rediscovers his love for Susan, but it is unclear if they will reunite or if he will be doomed to a life of begging.

In the climax, one of the unstable kidnappers debates killing the protagonist but ultimately spares him, fleeing and leaving him alone. The film is intended to be challenging by only showing shots of the protagonist in the chair and never revealing the kidnappers, similar to the film "Buried". It aims to emphasize tension and suspense.

Question 1
This document discusses how the media product of a student film thriller draws from and challenges conventions of the thriller genre. It summarizes the individual research members conducted on the thriller film "Taken", analyzing its camera work, editing, sound, and mise-en-scene. Though the student film uses elements like a flashback and non-diegetic music similarly to "Taken", it develops these conventions with different contextual uses that challenge thriller genre expectations. Specifically, the music in the student film conveys sadness rather than impending danger, and the film portrays hitmen as emotionally complex humans rather than "heartless".
1) in what way does your media
Our media product uses the conventions of an action thriller genre by including a stock narrative of a government kidnapping plot, a dark setting of an abandoned house, and a former government employee character. We developed these genres forms through a gradually increasing pace and included iconography like dark suits, guns, and technology to signify the action and government themes. While we were largely successful using these codes, some felt the slow start did not clearly indicate it was an action thriller. Faster pacing earlier may have better conveyed the genre.

The document discusses challenges faced and lessons learned during the production of a film shot by students. It describes issues with shaky camera footage that was re-shot using a Steadicam mount, but which still came out shaky due to incorrect settings. Slow motion footage of falling petals was captured separately on a stills camera. Audio was recorded using a boom microphone to minimize background noise. Colored gels were used with lights to create different lighting effects. Adobe Premier software provided advanced editing features but also presented challenges since the production team lacked music editing skills. Various Premier effects - including chroma key, titles, and motion/key frames - were utilized.

Question 1
This document discusses how the media product of a student film thriller draws from and challenges conventions of the thriller genre. It summarizes the individual research members conducted on the thriller film "Taken", analyzing its camera work, editing, sound, and mise-en-scene.

A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
