The opening of a film is important as it sets the tone and gives viewers insight into the story. An effective opening, like in the film The Strangers, shows something intriguing like the ending to encourage viewers to watch to see how it gets there. The rating is also important, as a lower rating means it can't include as much scary content and won't appeal to as wide an audience. Viewing a horror film alone makes it scarier, as the viewer feels they could experience what's happening on screen. A good opening provides a bit of scare to keep viewers interested without being the scariest part.

However, the negative feedback pointed out that the transition between scenes was too long, the audio in the first scene was unnecessary, the footsteps were out of sync, and the voiceover was too quiet.

Overall she was happy the viewers would recommend the film and found the feedback valuable for improving future trailers.
Evaluation Question 4

Here are some potential strategies to mitigate the constraints:
- Organisational: Book equipment well in advance and have backups planned.
- Location: Scout alternative locations and have permits/permissions arranged. Consider modifying script.
- Technical: Fully charge all equipment, have backup batteries, test equipment thoroughly beforehand.
- Cost: Consider prop alternatives that look real but are safe, e.g. toy guns painted black. Apply for funding.
- Personnel: Have backup cast/crew available. Schedule shoots so some can be done with fewer people.
- Time: Storyboard thoroughly. Prioritize critical shots. Schedule additional filming days as backups.

Paranormal activity
The trailer for Paranormal Activity 4 establishes it as a horror film that continues the story from the first three films. It uses found footage style camerawork and realistic situations to build fear and tension. The family's normal life is disrupted by strange events occurring after new neighbors move in. The dialogue and pacing gradually increase the suspense to leave viewers wanting to learn more about what happens.
Evaluation Q1
The document discusses several conventions of successful thriller films. It notes that thrillers need to grab audience attention early, often with an exciting chase scene in the opening. They should also avoid obvious storylines to allow for plot twists. Additionally, highlighting a main character's strengths and weaknesses helps audiences understand when that character may be in danger. The document analyzes how these conventions were applied to the filmmaker's own thriller, which began with a chase scene and kept the reasons for the main character's pursuit ambiguous.
Pro forma short film
Tom Batty conducted research and experiments for his short film project. Through a survey of his target audience, he learned that people enjoy dark comedy in horror films. He analyzed popular horror films to see what elements were successful, such as R-rated content in films appealing to teens. For his short film, he believes a 12A rating is suitable. He explored potential production techniques from films like The Dark Knight, Django Unchained, and Lord of the Rings. In camera experiments with classmates, he practiced shooting techniques but found planning locations in advance would help.
Research for short film
This document provides guidance on developing short film stories. It recommends that short films focus on one main character and their experience of a single event over a short period of time. Successful short films establish a clear setting, character, and problem to explore within 10-20 minutes. The character should have a clear want, need, or obligation that faces obstacles, creating dramatic tension and a problem for the audience to engage with.
Evaluation 55555
The document summarizes the opening scenes of a film. It establishes that the target audience is teenagers and young adults who will relate to the teenage main character. The opening builds suspense and tension, making the audience uncomfortable by putting them in the main character's fearful position. Scenes show the main character distressed and speaking to a broken camera, then being heard panicking as the antagonist returns. Flashbacks thirty days earlier reveal the antagonist stalking the protagonist, with security camera footage building tension through faster cuts between color and black and white. This leaves the audience wondering who is watching and why the main character was kidnapped.
Evaluation
The document discusses a film trailer that uses quick cuts between scenes to confuse the audience and provoke questions. This is done intentionally to generate excitement and interest in the actual film by leaving the audience with unanswered questions. The trailer features different mini stories in each scene that are loosely connected to tease the overall film's plot without giving too much away.
Target audience research results questionaire

Audience Profile
The document provides demographic information about the target audience for a short horror film, including that they are ages 15-20, students or part-time workers, single, and able to understand English. Research was conducted through surveys asking about preferences in horror films. It was found that the audience prefers films with plot twists, cliffhangers, and realistic settings to feel immersed. Specifically, the audience responded positively to a film with a twist where the babysitter discovers the girl is dead.
Evaluation question 5
The film addresses its audience through a third person perspective without using point-of-view shots, which creates distance and makes the film less scary. A blackout during a murder scene leaves the action to the imagination of the audience. The film may scare female audiences more as the victim is a normal teenage girl. Most thrillers involve protagonists in their mid-20s to appeal to cinema-going audiences in that age group who can relate to the characters. The film draws similarities to other psychological thrillers involving troubled children through its costumes, backstory, and forest setting.

Ethan conducted a survey of 15-18 year old boys about horror films. The survey found that the fear of the unknown and supernatural are the scariest elements. Most respondents watch horror films occasionally rather than all the time. Gore was a moderately enjoyed element. Younger audiences, especially males, are more likely to watch horror/thriller films due to seeking thrills without real danger. Ethan's target audience for his low-budget horror film will be young males, appealing to their thrill-seeking nature through techniques like POV shots that immerse viewers without needing expensive creature effects.
Target audience profile
The document analyzes the target audience for a film. It identifies the target age range as 15 to mid-30s because teenagers would find it creepy but need maturity to understand it, while older adults may not relate to the young adult characters. It suggests the audience will be mostly male due to the male-dominated storyline. Likely viewers enjoy tense television dramas and mysteries that keep them intrigued and wanting to discover how situations resolve. The psychographic profiles selected are seen as the most obvious fits for this genre.
2. research sf 2017

However, the student's primary research with classmates found they preferred action films. The student decided on a 15 rating and targeting 16-17 year olds. They experimented with camera shots, sound editing, and microphones. Organizing production is challenging due to scheduling conflicts. Location scouting also poses difficulties in finding an appropriate abandoned site.
Enigma, and Editing in Horr
The document provides context about the film Unfriended. It establishes that the main enigma or mystery of the film is who uploaded an incriminating video and why a ghost is attacking the friends. It notes that the trailer builds anticipation by counting down the characters and leaving the audience to wonder who will die first and how. Reviews shown in the trailer aim to convince the audience the film is scary and worth seeing based on its fast pacing and tension. Throughout the trailer, fast editing, screaming, and glitches are used to create suspense without revealing too much of what happens. Camera angles are limited since the film takes place over video chat, but close-ups are used to heighten tension.
