These include opening title sequences over images or plain backgrounds, films being distributed by major studios, settings in cities and houses in America, use of mise-en-scene like costumes and props/colors to characterize villains and set dark, scary atmospheres, and inclusion of sinister non-diegetic music to build tension from the beginning.
Horror Film Pitch
Logan and Aaron are roommates who take on a new roommate, Amelia, to help pay rent. Strange events start occurring after Amelia moves in, and Logan discovers she is possessed. Logan tries to warn Aaron but isn't believed. Logan then finds hidden camera footage showing Amelia haunting both him and a now possessed Aaron. Logan tries to escape but is caught by Amelia and Aaron in the woods.
Macro & Micro decisions
The document discusses macro and micro decisions made in developing a film trailer for a horror genre project. At the macro level, some key decisions were to make the genre a horror film, have a female villain which challenges conventions, and set it in an everyday residential area rather than isolated location. Micro decisions focused on specific technical elements like using dark lighting, jump scares, eerie music, and handheld camera shots to make the trailer scary. Costume choices were also micro decisions that supported the macro concepts, with the female villain dressed in all white and the lazy male hero in baggy clothes.
Screenplay
1) Logan and Aaron let a woman named Amelia into their house after her car breaks down. Aaron is suspicious of her.
2) When the house phone doesn't work, Logan tells Amelia she can stay the night, despite Aaron's objections about not knowing her.
3) Logan films himself on his phone telling his fans about Amelia joining them for dinner, while Aaron continues to express discomfort with her presence.

Analysing codes and conventions of a horror movie
The document analyzes and compares the openings of three horror movies: The Conjuring, The Shining, and Nightmare on Elm Street. It examines the camera work, editing, sound, visual elements, plot, characters, and titles for each opening. Overall, the openings use techniques like close-ups, dark lighting, fast editing, and low music to set a tense mood, though The Shining differs with wide shots. The order and style of the titles are also compared across the movies.
Thriller Opening
The document discusses ideas for thriller openings and conventions of the genre. It provides examples of openings from films like The Dark Knight and Se7en that use fast edits, close-ups, tense music and establish a criminal act with no dialogue. Several original ideas are pitched that involve a serial killer who is the president's son, a man with supernatural powers seeking revenge, and a contract killing gone wrong. The document suggests a thriller opening should be dark, mysterious, and tense through the use of music, lighting, and leaving the audience on edge without dialogue.

Treating people badly with activities and some edits
The document discusses the importance of treating people well in care settings and some ways people can be treated badly. Treating people well involves providing quality of life factors and considering long term needs and outcomes.

Discrimination, including discrimination based on sex, sexuality, ethnicity, disability, social class, and age are also discussed. Care workers must avoid unfairly discriminating against people.
Physical life quality factors
The document discusses several factors that contribute to physical life quality: exercise, nutrition, physical safety, hygiene, physical comfort, and freedom from pain. It provides examples of how health and social care settings promote each factor, such as implementing chair exercises for limited mobility, ensuring balanced diets, conducting risk assessments, enforcing hand washing, addressing uncomfortable stimulation or temperatures, and properly managing pain. The overall message is that attentiveness to these physical factors is important for clients' and patients' well-being.
Care of elderly people
Needs assessments carried out by social workers evaluate an elderly person's living conditions, independent living skills, financial situation, family support, and needs for services. This determines if they require domiciliary care at home, attendance at day centers which provide activities and meals, or placement in residential or nursing homes that provide 24-hour care, meals, activities, and assistance with daily tasks.
Psychological life quality factors
The document discusses several key psychological life quality factors including psychological security, social contact, social support, approval, occupation, stimulation, privacy, dignity, choice, autonomy, equitable treatment, and effective communication. These factors relate to an individual's well-being and quality of life. Some examples provided include feeling free from fear or distress, having social interactions, receiving encouragement from others, having meaningful activities to participate in, being able to make independent decisions, and being treated with respect in a care setting.
Theorists
Alvin Toffler is an American writer and futurist known for works discussing the digital revolution, communication revolution, and technological singularity.

Henry Jenkins III is an American media scholar who holds a joint professorship studying communication, journalism, and cinematic arts at USC.
Zombie pitch
The document outlines a narrative concept for a short film about a zombie who faces discrimination in a normal world. It presents 6 sample scenes that follow the zombie as it experiences rejection from others and seeks companionship. Two alternative endings are proposed: a happy ending where the zombie finds love with another zombie, and a sadder ending where an attempted online date turns out to be a cruel trick. The document provides details on characters, settings, costumes, lighting and camera angles for each scene.
Access and barriers to services
The document discusses several barriers to accessing health and social care services: inadequate resources due to lack of funding, staff, and equipment can lead to delays in treatment; physical difficulties in traveling to services; issues with communication for those who do not speak the local language, are deaf/blind, or illiterate; and ignorance about available services. It provides examples of each barrier and proposes ways to overcome them, such as increasing funding, extended service hours, improved transportation options, multi-lingual materials, sign language interpretation, and community outreach/advertising.
Rights and responsibilities
1) Citizens have responsibilities to maintain their own health through good diet, exercise, and avoiding smoking or substance abuse.
2) They should care for minor ailments at home with advice from a pharmacist and consider being an organ donor.
