An analysis on the film "Deadgirl" for Horror Film class under Andrew Ty (1st semester, SY 2011-2012)
Film narratives in thrillers
This document discusses how the narrative of the film "The Dark Knight Rises" follows some famous narrative theories. It analyzes how the film's plot follows Todorov's theory of narrative stages, Propp's theory of character archetypes, and Levi-Strauss's theory of binary oppositions. For Propp's theory, the film features a clear hero, villain, donor, and helper, though the helper and princess are the same character. It also presents the theme of good versus evil through the binary opposition of Batman representing justice and the Joker representing chaos.
BOOK REVIEW "THE GREEN MILE"
The Green Mile is a 1999 film based on the Stephen King novel of the same name. It tells the story of Paul Edgecomb, a corrections officer in 1935 Louisiana who oversees death row inmates. A new prisoner, the giant but gentle John Coffey, arrives and displays mysterious healing powers. Coffey is sentenced to death for murder, but Edgecomb comes to believe he may be innocent. The film explores themes of capital punishment, religion, and the harm humans inflict on each other. It features emotional performances and earned several Academy Award nominations.
Horror genre representations
This document discusses representations of different groups in horror films. It notes that males are often portrayed as heroic protagonists but also as villains, while females are usually shown as the "weaker" gender. A common trope is the "final girl" who is the last survivor. Regarding age, children are typically endangered while needing rescue, and older characters tend to be evil antagonists providing wisdom before being killed. Nationality, religion, sexual orientation and ethnicity are also mentioned as representations that can be positive or negative depending on the film's context.
Representations in Horror Movies
Traditionally in horror films, women are portrayed as damsels in distress who are usually attacked and murdered for committing sinful acts. For example, in the film Carrie, Carrie White is bullied and tormented as an outsider while her religious mother sees female sexuality as sinful. However, with the rise of feminism, modern horror films now show powerful women as heroes and villains rather than only victims, reflecting societal changes in perceptions of women's roles. Whereas older films focused on gender representations, newer horror films emphasize global fears like terrorism and portray both men and women working together to overcome threats rather than dividing along gender lines.
Codes and Conventions of Horror
This document outlines some common codes and conventions of horror films. It discusses how victims, especially female victims, tend to be killed by the villain or psychopathic killer. The settings are often isolated, deserted places that allow characters to explore but also trap them with the killer. Common actions that build suspense and lead to victims' deaths include characters not fully acknowledging the threat, technology like cars or phones breaking, characters returning to the killer's area instead of escaping, and victims falling during chases. Overall, the conventions are meant to confront audiences with disturbing and uncomfortable images involving blood, body parts, and symbols of death.
Auteur theory
Quentin Tarantino is known as an auteur director who makes dark, gritty films containing violence and adult themes. His latest Western, The Hateful Eight, follows a bounty hunter assembling a team to capture a villain, and contains graphic violence and gore. Another example is Kill Bill, which also includes very strong violent and language throughout the two films. Tim Burton is also an auteur who makes films with dark twists but balances it with lightheartedness when appropriate. The Nightmare Before Christmas is set in a town always celebrating Halloween, and has a darker tone than expected. Edward Scissorhands also has tension that is relieved by lighter moments, keeping the film feeling fresh.
Project in english

How does your media product represent particular social
Our film challenges gender stereotypes by featuring a strong, independent, and physically fit female CIA agent as the main character. She serves as a contrast to the traditional damsel in distress trope. The character is modeled after tough female leads portrayed by actresses like Megan Fox, Jennifer Lawrence, and Angelina Jolie in action films. While the male characters initially fit the stereotype of strong, masculine robbers, the film subverts expectations when the female agent is able to physically overpower one of the men. Overall, the film aims to represent modern women as empowered and capable rather than defined by their relationships to men.
Initial idea
Lila experiences backstabbing from her former best friend Jessica and a group of popular girls in high school. The popular girls convince Jessica to help them kill Lila, which she does by hiding her body. When the girls think Lila is dead, her body unexpectedly reappears as she seeks revenge against those who killed her. The film explores themes of teenage betrayal, murder, and supernatural revenge in the slasher film genre.
Question 2.
The document discusses the representation of religion, social class, and homelessness in films. It provides the examples of the characters John Doe from Se7en and monks from The Da Vinci Code to represent religious fanatics. The victim Marion Crane from Psycho is used as an example of middle-class representation. Homeless people are often portrayed negatively in media and rarely featured in films.
Hazel Manguiat BACR 2-1
The document provides summaries and analyses of three films using communication theories:
1) The film "Shift" explores Expectancy Violation Theory and Interpersonal Deception Theory through scenes of unrequited love and deception between friends.
2) The film "Woman of the Ruins" applies Reinforcement Theory and Cognitive Dissonance Theory to scenes of forced marriage and memory loss.
3) The film "Ganito Kami Noon, Paano Kayo Ngayon" uses Attribution Theory to analyze a character who sees himself as a low-status "Indio" in Spanish/American-occupied Philippines.
Final girl
Slasher movies typically feature certain tropes:
1) The final girl who survives is often darker haired and less sexually active, meant to convey that sex is dangerous.
2) The monster wears a mask, making it scary because it could be anyone underneath and adding to the creepiness.
3) A group of friends who are without parental supervision are usually targeted when the monster attacks.
4) These movies often feature a benefactor, usually an older character like a police officer or doctor, who is seemingly committed the killings but is ultimately revealed to not be at the end.
Evaluation 2
The document discusses several common stereotypes in films involving the representation of social groups. It notes that women are often portrayed as weak and in need of saving, especially in action and thriller genres. However, some recent blockbuster films have featured strong female protagonists who are the heroes. When it comes to the portrayal of teenagers and racial minorities, stereotypes from music and media have often involved criminal or negative behavior. However, some films like Attack the Block and Moonlight have challenged these stereotypes by portraying teenagers and people of color in a more positive or nuanced light. The document also analyzes how some of these stereotypes are both embraced and subverted in the film being discussed.
Evaluation question 1
Three men are being held captive and forced to play Russian Roulette, taking turns shooting an revolver with one bullet loaded. Their lives are put in the hands of chance against their will. The film explores themes of power, violence, and the dark atmosphere created when human lives are manipulated for the entertainment of others. It draws comparisons to other films that feature Russian Roulette scenes, such as The Deer Hunter where soldiers are forced to play by their captors, and Leon where a young girl plays to prove loyalty, highlighting fear and manipulation.
Film Narrative Structure
The document outlines Tsvetan Todorov's theory of 5 stages in a narrative structure: Equilibrium, Disruption of equilibrium, Realization of disruption, Attempt to repair damage, and Restoration of equilibrium. It then provides examples from 3 film plots and trailers that follow this structure, summarizing the key events that fall under each stage.

This document provides a treatment for adapting the video game "The Last of Us" into a film. It outlines key details such as the title keeping the original name, a runtime of 120 minutes, and genres of post-apocalyptic science fiction, action adventure drama with horror elements. The plot involves Joel escorting teenage Ellie across a post-pandemic United States as she may hold the key to curing the infected. Three key scenes are described that showcase the character development and realistic portrayal of violence and emotion. The core audience is fans of the video game and genre fans, with a broad age range appealed to from teens to adults. Constraints in adapting the graphic material and opportunities through filmmaking technology advances are discussed
Released
Vincent, a man with mild schizophrenia, is released from an asylum to assist Detective Inspector Bruce with a serial killer case. The killer is another escaped inmate. Vincent uses his psychological skills to get inside the killer's mind and help the investigation. However, there is a risk Vincent may give in to his own dangerous impulses. The three act structure involves the antagonist continuing to kill, Vincent and Bruce finding bodies, and eventually the antagonist jumps to his death while Vincent's identity is revealed.
Twist of fate
A London gangland drug deal goes wrong, leaving one man arrested for murder. After his release from prison, he seeks revenge on those who set him up. The film follows this man as he tracks down those linked to his friend's death and confronts them, which results in an epic finale with one of their deaths. Made on a £50,000 budget, the filmmakers expect it to gross around £1,000,000 based on comparisons to similar films like Adulthood and Green Street Hooligans. Thomas Turgoose is attached to a role, while other parts will be cast via open call auditions to save costs.
The final girl
The document discusses the "final girl theory" developed by Carol Clover. The final girl is the last character left alive at the end of a slasher film who confronts the killer. She is typically an intelligent, curious, and vigilant character who moves the narrative forward. According to Clover, final girls sometimes have unisex names and occasionally share a history with the killer. While some have criticized the theory as predictable, Clover argued it subverted the typical sexualized representation of women in horror films by positioning the audience to identify with the surviving female character rather than the killer.
Jack Reacher presentation

Key conventions include the use of guns, alcohol, tough protagonists, and portraying law enforcement in an imperfect light.
Trapped under
The document summarizes a horror-mystery film called "Trapped Under". It follows a group of American teenagers on a school trip who get trapped in the woods after a collapse. They begin turning on each other as some students are killed by an unknown murderer. In the end, only two students survive and escape, though it's hinted the killer may still be alive.

Character for media
Eve Walcott was an 18-year-old factory worker who was murdered in 1953 while walking home from work. Her murder was never solved. Henry Lime is believed to be Eve's murderer and inspired copycat killings, though little is known about him other than he hides in the shadows. Sophie Carter is an 18-year-old criminology student in the present day who is researching Eve's unsolved case. She finds similarities between herself and Eve that make her paranoid. Sophie is also in possession of Eve's necklace.
The final girl theory
The document discusses Carol J. Clover's "Final Girl Theory" about horror film tropes. It notes that Clover identified viewers initially share perspectives of both the killer and victims but come to solely identify with the "final girl" - the last surviving female. The main plot of horror films involves a group of victims being hunted one by one by a killer until only one, a final girl, is left to kill the killer or escape. The final girl is often sexually unavailable and pursues the killer actively through curiosity and intelligence, taking on masculine traits like weapons. For a horror film to succeed, it needs the final girl to express abject terror, as viewers would reject this emotion coming from a male character.

Film Narratives
The document analyzes film narrative theories and applies them to the film "Before I Go to Sleep." It summarizes Todorov's, Propp's, and Levi-Strauss's theories and identifies the narrative structures they see in the film. The document concludes that Todorov's theory of narrative equilibrium, disruption, recognition, repair, and return to equilibrium best describes the plot of the film. It also discusses potential applications of Propp's character archetypes to the author's own thriller film.
Narrative theory in halloween (1978)
The document analyzes the 1978 horror film Halloween using several narrative theories. It finds that the film's plot does not fully align with the expected structures outlined by Todorov, Propp, Levi-Strauss, Bordwell and Thompson, or Classic Hollywood Narrative. Specifically, it notes that the opening violates Todorov's model, key character roles from Propp are missing, and the "goal" is never truly achieved as outlined by CHN. However, it does identify some binary oppositions consistent with Levi-Strauss and character roles aligned with Propp within the film's narrative.

This document defines and provides examples of different styles of television advertising narratives, including realist, anti-realist, animation, talking heads, series, documentary, surreal, humorous, dramatic, and parodic. Realist narratives focus on everyday concerns while anti-realist narratives depict unrealistic scenarios. Examples are provided for each style to illustrate how different ads employ different narrative techniques to promote their products.
Web based drama’s
Web-based dramas are original television content produced for broadcast on the internet. They include web series, miniseries, and animated shorts. Major distributors of web television include YouTube, Myspace, and Blip.tv. A web-based drama is a series of videos that tell a storyline through a group of characters created for free online. Examples include Doctor Who Dreamland, a spin-off of the BBC show Doctor Who that features the main character in new adventures. Common conventions of web-based dramas are similar to traditional TV dramas, using techniques like music, story arcs, defined characters, and cliffhangers.

Evaluation tv advert
The document provides feedback from focus groups on a TV advertisement. Key points:
- Focus groups approved of the ad, found it funny and engaging for the target audience. Actors and themes appealed to the right demographic.
- The only suggested improvement was adding a voiceover and branding at the end.
- Challenges included lack of clear leadership, scheduling issues with actresses, and having to change locations. These were overcome through improved organization and finding replacements.
- Technical skills learned included camera techniques, file conversion, and YouTube uploading to create and share the final product. Location scouting was enhanced through varied shots of each site.
Budgeting2
This budget outlines £30 worth of supplies needed for a project including black contact lenses costing £15-£20, fake blood for £5, borrowed fake knife, and danger tape for £5. The black contact lenses and danger tape will be ordered from Amazon with 1-2 week delivery, while the fake blood will be bought at a local joke shop on the day of filming and the fake knife will come from the local cafeteria.
Web drama case study
1) The document summarizes two web dramas - Dr Who Dreamland and Becoming Human.
2) Dr Who Dreamland is a 6 episode animated web series starring the 10th Doctor that aired on the BBC website. It appeals to both Dr Who fans and younger children.
3) Becoming Human is a supernatural drama spin-off of Being Human that follows a teenage vampire, werewolf, and ghost trying to solve a murder at their school.
Green screen for web drama upload
Green screens are used in TV dramas like EastEnders to film glasses and drinks separately from actors in pub scenes. This saves actors time and effort by avoiding accidental spills or breakages that could delay production. While it reduces on-set risks and lets actors focus on acting, green screening takes extra time and money. The document proposes using a green screen to film an actor falling down stairs for a web-based drama scene.
Location and risk for webdrama
The document discusses location scouting and risk assessment for filming a school-based web drama. It plans to film most scenes on the school grounds, including on the staircase, in classrooms, near the toilets, and in hallways. It then assesses potential risks for each location, rating the stairs the highest risk at 6-8/10 due to possibilities of falling, and classrooms the lowest at 3/10 due to hazards like wires and falling. Other assessed risks include contact lenses, fake blood, and use of a switchblade knife prop.
Colour and typography
Our colour scheme uses black and red. We considered different fonts for our typography and out target audience selected the first font for us to use on our website. The document discusses colour scheme and typography choices but provides little detail.

Ad styles
This document discusses different types of television advertising styles, including talking heads, documentaries, animation, realist, anti-realist, abstract, series, humorous, surreal, dramatic, and parody. Talking heads involve close-ups of people directly addressing the audience. Documentaries demonstrate products and benefits in an informative style. Animation uses cartoon illustrations to promote messages. Realist shows realistic portrayals of everyday concerns solved by products. Anti-realist indulges in unrealistic scenarios. Abstract is non-representational and creative. Series continue storylines across multiple ads.
