A movie poster is analyzed, finding that while colorful, the dark clothing of characters implies a darker narrative than initially seems. Soundtracks are discussed, with one building suspense for a jump scare, and another having a happy, Disney-like feel.
Assignment 14 pitches
The document provides two pitches for opening title sequences (OTS) for horror films.

The second pitch is for a killer/psychological thriller based on the true story of "Bible John."

Mise En-Scene
Props, location, lighting, color, costume, and actor performance are all elements of mise-en-scene that can define characters and influence the tone and meaning of a film. Props like a walking stick or sonic screwdriver can reveal character traits, and location shoots don't always match the actual setting portrayed. Lighting uses high-key or low-key techniques to create different dramatic effects. Color signifies emotion and personality through costumes, and costumes also provide insights into a character's background or mental state. Blocking and actor performance encompass physical positioning and full body language.

Josh’s presentation 2
Josh presented three movie ideas:
1. "Rise of the Dead" about a family trying to escape zombies invading their home and overrunning the country.
2. "Rise of a Ninja" pitting samurai, ninja, and martial artists against each other.
3. "Birth of Death" where demons, vampires, zombies, and monsters emerge from hell to cause chaos.
Josh's preferred idea was "Rise of the Dead" and he outlined locations, equipment, health and safety considerations, and why the low-budget film should be made.

Initial Ideas
- 2. PLOT • The plot of the film is not revealed to the viewer in the opening of what the viewer sees has very little dialogue and almost no motive for the actions within the film. What will be shown is only a man and a woman, both looking mysterious yet intriguing, walking into a village not speaking at all. We see them enter the village, much to the terror of the villagers who seem to know something about them that the audience does not. The only piece of dialogue is spoken; “They‟re here”, before the villagers turn away and go inside to their homes. We see the two continue until they come to an abandoned playfield where we see that a zombie-like creature is lurking about. The zombie tries to attack the two but is shot down by the woman. Upon doing this action we see that the man and woman are actually vampires, hence explaining the fear of the villagers.
- 3. CHARACTERS • The two main characters will be dressed in Goth and Punk clothing, to make an appeal to the modern audience. The Man‟s face will be obscured by Aviator sunglasses that will cover most of his face (to protect the secret of his red eyes). The Woman will also not talk or emote with her mouth to hide her vampire teeth. Both the Man and the Woman will not emote so that they seem unnatural in their environment. • The villagers will be dressed in stereotypical „farmer‟ clothing, they will also be the only people in the whole movie to speak dialogue. • The Zombie will be dressed in bloodied clothes and will portray stereotypical actions of a zombie (the slouch and the mumbled groans), he will also portray new features appearing in recent zombie films (such as Zombieland) in which he will be able to run.
- 4. SETTING • The setting of the film will be set in a quiet village where most of the inhabitants seem to be living in constant fear. This is referencing a stereotypical Horror movie setting used especially in the Hammer Horror films of the 1970s. The setting is a quiet place which will be to our advantage at creating a creepy atmosphere, this plus the fact that the main characters never speak will also add more tension to the scene. • The playfield is a wide open space with few playground apparatus there, which adds to the effect that it has been abandoned. The use of a long swing that is still swinging creates a creepy effect that is a common theme that is used in many classic and contemporary horror films.
- 5. PROPS • Few props shall be used within the sequence as most of the mystery and atmosphere is down to what the viewer doesn‟t see. The Man shall be wearing Aviator sunglasses to cover most of his face as well as a long black coat with the collar turned up, to give a gothic effect. He shall also be needed to wear red contact lenses to achieve a demonic effect. The Woman shall have on her a realistic toy gun (used to shoot the Zombie) as well as vampire teeth. The villagers will be seen with stereotypical clothing such as flat caps and wellingtons, as well as pub beverages. • The Zombie will be wearing a bloods-stained shirt and make-up to make the person appear decayed to a degree. Face paint will be added to the sides of the face as well as bloodstains on the arms and face/neck.
- 6. CAMERA & EDITING • Different types of camera angles will be used to focus the audience‟s attention on the main characters. Different close-ups (medium, extreme) as well as two-shots will be used so that we see plenty of the Man and Woman. Long shots will also get used to show us the two of them in full detail and to show us the costumes and styles that they sport. Different OTS (Over-The-Shoulder) shots will be used to see both the Man and Woman from their own perspectives. • OTS shots will also be used when the villagers are looking at the two, long shots shall also be used here to emphasis the fact that the villagers are keeping their distance from the Man and Woman. • Extreme Close-Ups will also be used on the faces of both the villagers and the Male to express surprised and fearful emotions. Features of this may be mouths twitching, raised eyebrows, widened eyes, etc.
- 7. MUSIC • The music of the project
