Film synopsis analysis (burton's theory)

However, the document suggests challenging some conventions, like keeping characters together instead of on a journey, while maintaining familiar stock characters and isolated settings for audience familiarity.

The zodiac killer
The Zodiac Killer was a serial killer who operated in Northern California in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He claimed to have killed 37 victims, though police only confirmed seven killings. He taunted police and the public by sending encrypted letters with clues to his identity but was never caught. Some key facts are that he committed crimes in the San Francisco Bay area, left DNA evidence on stamps of taunting letters, and was likely a psychopath who enjoyed attention but blended in to avoid capture.

Evaluation
The document discusses how the author's thriller represents certain social groups through its characters and plot. The main characters, a married couple named Jack and Lilly, conform to stereotypical gender roles - Jack is portrayed as dominant and secretive, hiding his real job as a hitman, while Lilly is innocent and naive, unaware of her husband's double life. These decisions were meant to give the audience what they wanted based on surveys. The thriller also suggests that older people are more likely victims, and that the villain will be a younger man portrayed in a dangerous light.
Representational issues
The document discusses how different social groups are commonly presented in horror films. It notes that women are often subjected to gender-specific violence, their roles are reduced to tropes, and their sexuality is portrayed as something that needs punishment. It also mentions that teenagers are typically depicted as inexperienced and rebellious while elders are wise and conservative. Regarding witches in horror movies, they are generally presented as ugly and evil, trying to corrupt women or get revenge on men, though some films like Harry Potter show good witches.

The settings and genres of the two films also differ.

Burton's theory
The document discusses several classic horror films from 1960 to 2008 and analyzes them through Burton's theory of narrative paradigms. It finds that Burton's theory is evidenced by the films' use of simplistic yet twisted settings, consistent themes of survival/death and unknown/known, and reliance on stock characters and situations. The films establish vulnerability through isolated areas and outsider killers, while exploring binary oppositions and having events disrupt groups, enabling death. Burton's paradigms are thus seen as methodologically applied over the long history of the horror genre.
Novels
1. This document provides summaries of 7 short novels that involve crime and mystery stories. The novels include Night Bird, Girls in Ice, His Last Breath, Body Reader, Silent Shouting, Interesting Challenge, and The City of Echoes.
2. The summaries describe serial killer investigations and murders that detectives must solve. This includes a psychiatrist helping people deal with dangerous feelings who may be abusing patients in Night Bird and a detective with the ability to read bodies in Body Reader.
3. Common themes across the novels mentioned are serial killers murdering young women, detectives racing to catch the killers before more victims are claimed, and secrets from the past impacting the investigations.

Genre partner project
Horror films strive to elicit emotions of fear and disgust in viewers by dealing with nightmares and hidden fears. There are several horror subgenres including supernatural, comedy, and noir. Horror films have changed over time from telling ghost stories to the sci-fi horrors and slashers of the 1950s-1980s. Jaws (1975) involves a shark attacking beachgoers at a New England resort town. The Uninvited (2009) features a young woman haunted by ghosts who believes her stepmother killed her mother. Orphan (2009) involves a couple who adopt a mysterious 9-year-old girl who is not what she seems.

Testing burton’s theory
The document analyzes common themes and elements found in popular slasher films from 1978 to 2012. Many films feature killers who return to seek revenge after prior killings, target teenage victims in isolated small towns or remote locations like camps or cabins, and have no clear motive beyond senseless violence. Successful films often feature a final girl protagonist who must outwit the killer. Common icons include masks to anonymize the killer and distance them from society.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
