How did you attract/address your audience?
To attract their niche audience for a psychological horror film, the filmmakers used several horror film conventions: a protagonist and antagonist, dark colors associated with the antagonist, jump cuts, dim lighting, an isolated woodland setting, a non-human zombie antagonist, and themes of fear, killing, isolation, and death. They also aimed to attract more female viewers by having both the protagonist and antagonist be teenage females, subverting the typical male-dominated characters in the genre.
Zombie presentation
This document outlines the creative elements of a proposed short zombie thriller film. It will follow two protagonists defending their hideout from invading zombies. The film will feature three main prosthetic zombie attack scenes: an eye gouging, stomach stabbing with an axe, and a baseball bat melee. Locations will include a hideout, parking garage, and backyard. The target audience is 18+ fans of horror, sci-fi and zombie genres. Editing will combine quick cuts with realistic gore. Proper lighting and sound design will be used to build atmosphere. Health and safety precautions like risk assessments will be taken for any public filming.

Codes And Conventions Of A Horror
Horror films aim to frighten and cause dread in viewers through invoking fears of nightmares, vulnerability, alienation, revulsion, the unknown, death, loss of identity, and sexuality.

Examples discussed are psychological thrillers like "Psycho" and "The Shining", religiously-themed films like "The Exorcist", true crime adaptations like "Wolf Creek", monster movies like "The Decent", gory films such as "Saw" and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre".
Codes and Conventions of Horror/Thriller Films
Technical conventions like canted angles, long tracking shots, and POV shots are used to create confusion, tension, and show what characters see. Symbolic conventions employ colors like black and red or props like weapons to represent death, evil, danger, and violence. Characters typically include a main protagonist hero or victim, an antagonist villain like a monster or killer, careless teenagers often killed first, and creepy children or authority figures. Common themes involve good versus evil, revenge, the supernatural, religion, living dead, experiments gone wrong, insanity, nightmares, and lust.

Horror films can deal with universal human fears such as vulnerability, the unknown, nightmares, death, loss of identity, and sexuality.

The creators analyzed horror films to understand these conventions and apply them appropriately.

They aimed to break conventions like the film Psycho did by unexpectedly killing off the leading lady early.
Horror sub genres
Horror films seek to elicit negative and fearful reactions in viewers by playing on their fears and doubts. Characters are often isolated in remote locations like forests or summer camps where help is difficult to obtain.

It also provides examples for each sub-genre and briefly compares the films "The Exorcist" and "Insidious" in how they involve the supernatural affecting a vulnerable child character.

Later revenant stories involved victims or perpetrators of crimes like murder. The modern zombie genre was influenced by Richard Matheson's novel "I Am Legend" and George A. Romero's film "Night of the Living Dead", which depicted zombies as cannibalistic and nearly unstoppable. Zombie stories can examine issues like racism, consumerism, and military conflicts through the metaphor of a zombie apocalypse.

The no bullet bullet slide
How would you like to come across during a presentation? Check all that apply — Lazy? Safe? Unimaginative? A rule-follower? If you use a bullet slide, you are checking all those boxes. That's what bullets on a slide sub-consciously say about you. "But," I hear you say, "That's what the template made me do…" or "I had to get these points across, bullets are the best way."

Amazing First Slide Picture Templates
Your first slide is critical to engage your audience and set the stage for your presentation.

FontShop - Typography
This document provides a lighthearted guide to typography using dating and relationships as a metaphor. It discusses various typographic concepts such as typeface vs. font, type anatomy, font families, pairing typefaces, kerning and leading, and more.

The document uses humor and analogies to make typically dry typographic topics more engaging and accessible.
Preparing to fail
Failure in IT and software development is not a question of if, but when. So we architect our technology around preparation. Here's a brief overview.
Effective Use of Icons & Images
The document discusses effective use of icons and images in user interfaces. It promotes registering for a virtual seminar on the topic presented by Patrick Hofmann on December 3, 2009. The document cautions that icons can have different meanings in different cultural regions and provides examples of icons that may be interpreted differently depending on factors like language, geography, religion, gender and age.
Create icons in PowerPoint
Using icons is a great way to add visuals to your presentation. There are many ways to get icons online, some are even free. But if you need a specific icon that you can’t find or if you want a special spin to your icon (color, shadow etc) – you can use PowerPoint’s great (and somewhat hidden) “Merge Shapes” commands to create your own icons.
Using these commands you can combine basic shapes into other shapes. You can union and subtract shapes. You can intersect and combine. All while still working natively inside PowerPoint. Once you have created an icon you can change the color, filling and add shadows as needed.
It is just as fun as building with Lego blocks! Well, almost..
This is a guide in 15 steps showing you how you can use these commands to create your own icon - the example we are using is a calendar icon.

Risk Assessment
