Specifically, it examines how the trailer uses signs of fear, vulnerability, mystery and danger to immerse the audience and set expectations typical of the horror genre. Through these techniques, the media product challenges viewers to unravel the narrative while drawing them in with familiar genre tropes.
Media language
The document analyzes the use of various media language techniques in a film trailer. It discusses how iconic signs like clothing are used to represent characters and indexical signs like blurred vision imply meaning. Symbolic codes are also employed, such as a wide shot of the three main characters symbolizing their friendship and black boots symbolizing danger. Overall, the analysis shows how signs, codes and conventions from horror films are used to craft meanings and messages for the audience.
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.
Genre ideology 2
The document analyzes common visual and written codes used in horror film posters to attract audiences. It discusses how posters typically use dark colors and close-ups of faces/eyes to create mystery and tension. Taglines are placed prominently to hint at the story and scare or excite viewers. Specific posters for films like "Scream" and "The Return" are examined in detail to show how visual elements and text are designed to foreshadow events and draw interest in the horror story being told.

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 smarter than the others and the sole survivor the audience follows. Pandora's curiosity opens dangerous possibilities as they sometimes turn out to be the hidden killer. The pervert lusts sexually for others and dies due to lack of self-protection from distraction.
Initial idea
Lila experiences backstabbing from her former best friend Jessica and a group of popular girls in high school. The popular girls convince Jessica to help them kill Lila, which she does by hiding her body. When the girls think Lila is dead, her body unexpectedly reappears as she seeks revenge against those who killed her. The film explores themes of teenage betrayal, murder, and supernatural revenge in the slasher film genre.
Warner brothers studio trip
On June 29th, the student, along with their classmates and teacher, visited the Warner Brothers studio near Holborn where they saw sculptures of superheroes and costumes and posters from Warner Brothers films. At the studio, they watched the film King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, about a man named Arthur who grows up learning his destiny to become a legendary fighter and leader. After the film, they met the costume designer Annie Symons, who did a presentation and took questions about her career and work designing costumes for King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.
Cult of chucky
The trailer introduces the slasher film Cult of Chucky and establishes its horror elements. It shows that a toy Chucky doll is committing murders, killing victims in gruesome ways. The main character warns that Chucky will kill everyone around her before killing her last. Scenes reveal the doll's first victim with a bloody arm and a message on the wall. The trailer also introduces the possibility of two Chucky dolls and that one woman may be the doll's mother, leaving ambiguity around who is the killer toy.
Happy death day
The document provides a summary of the trailer for the movie "Happy Death Day". It describes the main character, a college student, waking up on her birthday only to realize she is trapped in a time loop where she relives the day over and over again. Each loop ends with her being murdered. Throughout each repeated day, she tries to uncover who her killer is to break the time loop. The summary highlights the developing mystery and danger as the main character endures multiple deaths while searching for clues about her murderer.
The crucifixion 2
The trailer summarizes the key events and problems in the film "The Crucifixion". It establishes that the film is set in a Christian country through shots of a cross sculpture and a church. Problems arise as people start behaving abnormally and demons may be present, as hinted by a priest. Key events shown include a girl's bedroom door opening by itself, a possessed girl screaming, and a battle between good and evil spirits as objects fly around a rainy scene. The trailer implies an spiritual battle is taking place between demons and those trying to defeat them, like the priest.
Foley sounds
Foley sounds are everyday sound effects added to films to enhance audio quality. They are produced by Foley artists on a Foley stage where they synchronize sounds with footage cues. Common Foley sounds include footsteps, doors, and breaking glass. The technique is named after Jack Foley, who established modern Foley techniques. In horror films, Foley artists creatively use materials like leather and blades to reproduce sounds of killers' weapons and splattering blood, helping set an eerie atmosphere for viewers.
Sound in horror trailers
The document discusses the use of sound in horror movie trailers. It analyzes how a trailer for the movie "Scary Movie 1" uses sounds like ringing phones, music, screaming, dialogue, and cracking bones to set the mood, introduce characters, foreshadow events, and build anticipation for the audience. The trailer employs these sounds to establish the film's genre, storyline, characters, killer's identity and weaknesses to effectively promote the horror film.
Genre ideology
The document analyzes common visual and written codes used in horror film posters to attract audiences. It discusses how posters typically use dark colors and close-ups of faces/eyes to create mystery and tension. Taglines are placed prominently to hint at the story and scare or excite viewers. Specific posters for films like "Scream" and "The Return" are examined in detail to show how visual elements and text are designed to foreshadow events and draw interest in the horror elements like murders and supernatural threats. Information about directors, actors and release dates are also included to build anticipation.
Conventions of title sequences
The document discusses conventions used in title sequences for three films: Enemy of the State, Casino Royale, and Se7en. For Enemy of the State, the titles appear very quickly at the beginning and end to match the fast-paced music, and more slowly in the middle. In Casino Royale, the titles appear when images change and match the pace of the slow, soft rock music. For Se7en, the scratchy, high-pitched music creates an uncomfortable mood, and the titles appear between images or with a black screen. The common trait across all three films is that the pace at which the titles appear matches the pace of the soundtrack.
Creating atmosphere screenshot deconstruction
The document discusses how to create atmosphere in a film sequence. It will use dark lighting from the establishing shot to hint at a dark theme. Camera shots like back shots will portray innocence while close-ups will reveal an unstable mind by showing blood on hands and in mirrors. Different camera shots will be used to emphasize psychological thriller conventions and reveal an unusual mind.

Research into sound
The document discusses how sound is used in thriller films to affect the audience. It explains that music is used to build tension and create suspense by making the audience feel scared or like something is going to happen. The music in thrillers is often synthesized to set dark and eerie moods, starting slow and building up gradually. It then analyzes sound usage in four thriller film scenes, noting how music and other sounds create moods of anticipation, violence, astonishment, and anxiety to enhance the thriller genre by building tension and prompting the audience to want something to happen.
Production roles
This document outlines the roles and responsibilities of three people - Elisa Dubignon, Melanie Vaca Arango, and Bolu Famodun - in producing an opening sequence for a film. Elisa will direct, write, and costume the sequence. Melanie will assist with casting, produce, design fonts, and choose costumes. Bolu will also produce, take on a acting role, edit the sequence and compose original music. They believe that dividing the roles based on each person's strengths will allow them to collectively produce the opening sequence.
Title sequence 2
The document analyzes and summarizes the title sequences of three thriller films: Se7en, Candyman, and an unnamed third film. For Se7en, the flashing titles and distorted names create a mysterious and unsettling atmosphere. Images of hands, files, and documents also set up themes of investigation and murder. Candyman's titles incorporate sliding and squeaky sounds to build tension, while views of the city and insects hint at torture. The third film uses angelic music and flashbacks to evoke romance amid hints of love, past events, trauma, and a character seeking to change their painful past.

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
