The opening sequence of Jack Reacher establishes the main character as a man of authority through shots of his hands gripping a switch and holding a gun. It shows him in a rural setting and a city, hinting at a clash between the two. Non-diegetic sounds create mystery and suspense around what will unfold and who the main character is. Editing techniques like parallel shots, jump cuts, and action matches are used to build tension and introduce the character. Props like bullets and a machine gun attached to the character convey he is important and dangerous, while his soldier/assassin costume hints at mystery around his authority.

The Nine Act and Three Act Screenplay Structure
The document outlines the nine-act and three-act screenplay structures. The nine-act structure breaks a screenplay into nine sequential parts: Act 0 during opening credits, Act 1 introduces the setting, Act 2 introduces conflict, Act 3 introduces the protagonist, Act 4 is the commitment to action, Act 5 is a "dark moment" where the wrong goal is pursued, Act 6 is a reversal where the right goal is identified, Act 7 develops a new plan of action, and Act 8 wraps up loose ends. The three-act structure similarly divides a screenplay into setup, confrontation, and resolution acts.
Syd fieldโs 3 act plot
Syd Field suggested that films can be divided into three acts: the setup, confrontation, and resolution. There are plot points between the acts that change characters' lives and relationships, altering the tone. The setup grabs audience attention in the first 10 minutes by introducing the main character and problem. In the confrontation, the character faces escalating problems helplessly until finding a better approach by the second plot point. The resolution has the character take control and achieve victory over their enemy.
Part 1: In what ways does your media product use, develop, or challenge forms...
The document discusses how the media product, a trailer for the psychological horror film "The Hanging Tree", uses and develops conventions of the horror genre and film trailers. It incorporates elements common to both psychological horror films and horror trailers, such as an isolated setting, tension-building music, and changes in pace.

The document provides an in-depth review and analysis of director Thomas Hunt's film "After You". It summarizes that the film depicts a comical row between two men, Rupert and Jack, that escalates into a violent game as they wait to enter a conference on making friends. The reviewer praises Hunt's editing techniques, use of shots to capture character emotions, and the powerful performances that make viewers forget about the unremarkable location. While comedic, the film also conveys emotional messages about how people handle simple situations differently. The reviewer considers it one of Hunt's most interesting directorial works and questions if he will return to make a sequel.
Evaluation 1
Claude Levi-Strauss's theory of binary opposites structures the narrative of the film "Vanity" through the contrast of the male and female protagonists. The film also follows Tzvetan Todorov's model of narrative by beginning in equilibrium, disrupting it, and attempting to repair it through the relationship. While influenced by films like "The Vow" and "Titanic" in its romantic genre and use of shots, "Vanity" challenges conventions with minimal dialogue and added non-copyright music and sound effects to clearly convey the story. Camera techniques like close-ups and framing mimic those in "The Hunger Games" and "The Third Man" respectively.
Shifty Analysis
The document analyzes the opening sequence of the film "Shifty", which is about a day in the life of a crack cocaine dealer.

Evaluation question one
Our film 'RED' uses conventions of the thriller genre such as low-key lighting to build suspense and highlight the protagonist's emotional conflict after she murders her husband for infidelity. Costume is also used unconventionally with the protagonist wearing a red dress to convey danger, anger and passion. Editing pace increases over time to engage the audience as the narrative unravels. Camera shots closely follow thriller conventions with frequent close-ups on emotions and clues. While our film's opening follows Todorov's theory of narrative structure, it challenges conventions by leaving the audience on a cliffhanger without resolution.

The media product uses and develops several conventions of real films through the use of various camera shots, angles, edits, and film scoring techniques. It uses establishing shots, point-of-view shots, fades, and shots influenced by director Terrence Malick to develop characters and portray emotion. It challenges some conventions by not including a comical character, skipping the narrative's equilibrium stage, and using a single piano for scoring rather than an ensemble. Overall, it adheres to many standard film conventions but also challenges some expected conventions around narrative structure and comic relief.

Trailer analysis 2
The genre of the film Hot Fuzz is an action comedy. While the setting and characters are realistic, depicting a small village, the film is shot and edited like an action film, with quick cuts, freeze frames, and other techniques not typical of social realism. The trailer establishes the two police officers as protagonists who take their jobs seriously unlike their colleagues. It also introduces an antagonist halfway through and hints at the disruption, climax, and resolution of the story in line with Todorov's theory of narrative structure.
Evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the filmmaker's media product uses and develops conventions of the crime and thriller genre.

Specifically, the filmmaker emulates conventions like using low lighting to depict dark characters, showing "good" and "bad" characters through their props, and having a dark title background. However, the film also challenges conventions by shooting outdoor scenes in daylight rather than at night like most crime films.
Evaluation question 1

Key characters and the villain are introduced through foreshadowing and establishing shots. The opening successfully suggests the hybrid horror/comedy genre through its use of scary yet childish masks and weapons.

The document discusses representation of ethnicity in TV drama and common stereotypes. It notes that ethnicity refers to social groups that share identity, history and culture. Around 4.6 million people in the UK have an ethnic background, with 45% living in London. It then examines stereotypes that have historically been used to portray people of black, Indian, Japanese, Middle Eastern, and Far Eastern origin in reduced or exaggerated ways. These stereotypes are still sometimes present today but representation is improving with more positive and diverse portrayals that move beyond stereotypes.

The document provides instructions for writing an argumentative essay. It explains that the goal is to convince the reader of one's opinion on a controversial issue.

Jack reacher
- 1. Jack Reacher (previously titled One Shot) is a 2012 American thriller film. It is an adaptation of Lee Child's 2005 novel One Shot. Written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the film stars Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher
- 2. There are many camera shot used in the opening sequence of jack Reacher. The first shot is an extreme close up of the main characters hand gripping onto an object (switch of some sort) this makes us the audience intrigues into what the switch does and what he is starting, is also makes the audience concentrated on what the switch is all about. It is also a parallel between the start of the film and the start of what he is doing. There is also an establishing shot which introduced the setting which seems to be in a rural area with lost of trees which then cuts into a city scarp which shows us there might be a clash between the two sides. This sequence is slowly outlining what the main character does as a job as there is a van driving along a empty road with the setting in the background. We are introduced to the main character using a close up of a gun that he is holding, this creates a feeling as if he is someone not to be jokes around with and is someone of high authority.
- 3. Through out the opening sequence there is a non-diegetic sound used to go with the opening. It creates a sense of mystery and a feeling of what is going to happen next. The non-diegetic sound also brings in the audience to witness what is about to unfold and who is the main character. There are also sound effect used for example during in the first scene there is a sound effect of the switch which demonstrates that something has started. There is also a sound effect of the gun being reloaded which indicates that he is getting ready for something
- 4. The first editing technique used is a parallel shot between the car driving and a man doing things with bullets. This can be a contrast between either the villain and hero or a contrast between two heroes. A jump cut is also used to introduce one of the two main characters of the film. It uses this as way of skipping time and building a suspense into what he looks like and is doing. Also an action match is used toward the end of the opener when the individual is reloading the gun, this shows continuity of the sequence and shows us different camera shots of the main character to make him look lik someone important.
- 5. One of the mise en scene used in the opening sequence is props and that is bullets. The use of these bullets give us an understanding that there might be an involvement of these bullets within the film and have an importance towards the main story. Another prop used is a machine gun that is attached to the main character. The machine gun gives us a feeling that the main character is someone with high importance and is also a dangerous man. The main character is wearing a solider/ assassin type of costume which shows us that he is a form of authority and may have a hidden mystery behind it due to the assassin type look.
