Question 1
This document provides a summary and analysis of the opening sequence of a student film about teenage depression titled "Impact".
The opening was influenced by films like "It's Kind of a Funny Story" and "Girl Interrupted" that deal with similar themes. It begins with a dream sequence showing the depressed main character experiencing bullying. This is followed by scenes in a classroom where the teacher reprimands the distracted main character.
The sequence was designed to draw the viewer in with an enigmatic dream and leave them wanting to know more about why the main character feels this way and what will happen to her. It effectively sets a dark, depressing tone through its choice of lighting, music and setting to
Mise en scene
Mise-en-scene refers to everything presented to the viewer within the frame of a shot including props, lighting, costumes, blocking/performance, color, and set/location. There are 6 key areas of mise-en-scene: props, lighting, costume, blocking and performance, color, and set/location. Costumes, props, blocking/performance, and lighting can be used to convey meaning and create moods like innocence, evil, tension or romance.
Textual analysis 1 the break up
The document provides a textual analysis of the music video for "The Break Up" by Machine Gun Kelly. It notes several shot types, techniques, and representations used in the video. These include the use of bright colors to represent emotions, split screens showing two perspectives, and silhouettes on colored backgrounds. The analysis discusses how certain shots adhere to stereotypes or enforce the male gaze. Overall, it concludes that the use of color juxtapositions and sharp editing could be techniques to replicate for a own music video.
Taken
The document analyzes four shots from the thriller/action film Taken. Shot 1 uses an extreme close up of the main character's face to show her scared and tense as she hides on the floor and cries while calling for help. Shot 2 uses a low angle to make the scene feel intimidating and tense as the camera pans with the character to indicate where she will end up. Shot 3 uses a medium shot to heighten stress and tension as the character is on the phone but worried. Shot 4 uses a wide angle to capture the scene and make the audience feel like they are the character looking out a window, though things may not be as they seem. Overall, the shots are used to convey emotions and tension through facial expressions
Cherry Wine
This video analyzes the music video for the song "Cherry Wine" by Hozier. It uses various shot types and camera techniques to portray a complex relationship involving domestic abuse in a realistic way. Cozy lighting and scenes of the couple being affectionate are contrasted with close-ups showing the woman's bruised eye and look of fear and sadness. Multiple mirrors are used to represent the different sides to her experience. The video has an important message of exposing domestic abuse and showing it can affect anyone.
Electric Love analysis
The document analyzes the music video for "Electric Love" by BØRNS through various shots and techniques used:
1) Mid shots show BØRNS wearing sparkly suits and makeup with long hair, challenging male stereotypes. Long shots introduce faceless dancers in bright clothes.
2) Dimmed light shines on BØRNS' face as he sings, appearing mysterious in the darkness. Wide shots use neon lights to match the lyrics and frame BØRNS as the main attraction.
3) Ariel long shots look down from his point of view, almost dehumanizing faceless female dancers through the male gaze. Extremely bright lights draw attention to BØ
Presentation pitch

Textual Analysis of the Silence of the Lambs (1991)
The document provides an analysis of the film The Silence of the Lambs through examining its sound, mise-en-scene, and camera angles/shots. Regarding sound, the music builds tension through its orchestral style and looping bassline. Diegetic sounds like breathing and helicopters are also used. Mise-en-scene shows the main character standing out among large men at the FBI base through costume and an opening scene establishing her as strong. Camera angles establish the setting through an establishing shot of tree tops and use high and medium-long shots to portray the main character as tiny and out of place.
Conventions
This document discusses conventions used in psychological thriller films and trailers. It examines conventions related to genre, camerawork, editing, mise-en-scene, and sound. For genre, conventions include a central character with psychological issues or who faces psychological tests. Camerawork conventions establish mood through close-ups, high angles, and point-of-view shots. Editing conventions involve fast-paced cuts and cross-cutting to reveal flashbacks and thoughts. Mise-en-scene uses props, costumes, lighting, and settings to convey isolation and mental states. Soundtracks and voiceovers increase in intensity to build tension as the trailer progresses.
Media mission impossible
The document analyzes the opening scene of a film featuring the character Mr. Phelps. It notes that the lighting is used to highlight Mr. Phelps and suggest suspicion in the background. Mr. Phelps remains calm and makes no exaggerated movements, portraying him as mysterious. His serious expression and private, self-destructing tapes add an air of secrecy and build tension for the audience.
Evaluation question 5
We attracted our audience by using several thriller genre conventions in our opening sequence, such as dark lighting and tense music, to create suspense and mystery. We stuck closely to conventions seen in other thriller films, like using lighting to make a door and dark corridor seem ominous. While drawing on standard conventions, we believe our film's unique story sets it apart from other movies in the genre.

It defines the five elements of mise-en-scene and provides examples to illustrate how each element communicates meaning and helps tell the story. The document instructs the reader to analyze a short film clip, paying attention to these five elements, in order to understand how mise-en-scene is applied in practice.
The conventions of opening sequences of a comedic
Comedic opening sequences typically use bright colors, settings like schools or families, and fast-paced camera angles. Titles are colorful and use bubble or exciting fonts unlike block fonts in horror. Props are used for slapstick humor like characters getting hurt. The sound starts with diegetic sounds then transitions to a non-diegetic happy soundtrack title theme with loud atmosphere. Lighting is natural and bright to convey a happy tone rather than artificial lights used in genres like horror.
Peer assessment 1
The peer group found some weaknesses in the film including issues with random sound cuts and unwanted background noise. Some scenes were also felt to be too long and not build suspense. The narrative was not fully clear and there were lighting inconsistencies between shots. However, the peer group also identified strengths such as good acting that added to the dreary atmosphere. They enjoyed the variety of shots and choice of locations. Overall the film was described as "really good" but in need of cutting to meet the time requirement.

1. Interesting locations, props, costumes, and cinematography techniques like jump cuts can intensify the sense of drama.
2. Soundtracks and music are especially important, as seen in Schindler's List and Downton Abbey, where simple songs set an eerie or dramatic tone.
3. Editing through techniques like gradual changes or jump cuts can effectively set the dramatic atmosphere and pace for the film.
4. Title sequences in this genre typically do not include narrative or dialogue, allowing

From Film to Theater_Kassel Workshop_MLeonida
Following a 3 day intensive seminar for the Association of theater pedagogues of the Hessen area, I compiled this short manual for the participants as reference material.
Question 1
The document summarizes how the media product, a psychological thriller, uses and challenges conventions of the thriller genre. It follows many typical thriller conventions like quick movements, tense music, and an unreliable victim character. However, it challenges conventions by not including guns/blood and instead uses a teddy bear for comfort. The target audience is ages 15+ and the opening credits use a softer font in black and white. Cinematography uses techniques like high angles, close ups, and panning shots to portray the victim's unstable behavior and vulnerability. Editing and sound are used conventionally to build tension. Costume, lighting, and mise en scene also advance the plot and character development in conventional thriller style.

Luke Headland is feeling confident about his FMP project and views it as a passion project rather than obligatory work. He plans to create a horror film credit sequence between 1-2 minutes long involving himself and a classmate. He will storyboard and plan the filming. Luke wants to improve on color correction from his last project and film at night using his new camera's low light capabilities.

Ashford University | ENG225 WEEK 05
The week 5 written assignment is your final film critique. This is the culmination of the work you have been doing
in this class-- your chance to focus all the techniques and elements we've been studying on the thorough analysis
of one feature-length film. Additionally, you'll be asked to reflect on your own development-- what you've learned
and how you've learned it-- while looking ahead to see how the skills you've mastered here will apply to your
continuing studies and possible career fields.
Make sure to read through the guidelines carefully, noting all the different required elements, and take a look
ahead at the rubric so you know exactly how your work will be assessed. Here are a few key points to keep in
mind as you work on your paper.
Stage 1 of the paper asks you to choose a film to analyze from AFI's 10 Top 10 list. Stick to those lists and pick a
film you are familiar with or have easy access to, as you will probably need to watch it several times to hone your
points. Remember the lessons you've learned throughout this course. For example, you'll be called upon to
explain the difference between story and plot in the particular film you've chosen.
You'll also look at specific aesthetic choices. While we've discussed those throughout the class, you'll have to
explain them and apply them to the film you've chosen. Don't forget to get specific. Whether you're talking about
lighting, or editing, or any other cinematic techniques, be sure to drill down and reference specific scenes or shots
to help make your point.
Here are a few more tips to remember. Stage 1 asks you to consider the social or personal impact of a specific
film. The guidelines scaffold some different ways to think about this, but be sure to think broadly. This is an
important part of the paper, one where outside resources might be especially helpful.
Stage 2 is all about reflection. And this is different from talking about the personal impact of the specific film you've
chosen for this paper. The guidelines provide some questions for you to think about, so be sure to provide specific
examples as you formulate your response. This grounds the reflection with a practical understanding.
See the sample paper we've uploaded in the assignment prompt. This is a model of good student work-- what
your professors are looking for and the type of comments we will make. Also, keep in mind that the titles of films
should be italicized. Click into the Ashford Library English 225 study guide. It's a portal dedicated to the kinds of
articles, essays, and books that will be most helpful resources as you work on your written assignment.
Try to budget your time so that you can take advantage of the various resources offered by the Ashford Writing
Center to ensure that your paper is written and polished. Remember, the week 5 written assignment is a chance
to really apply your understanding of the concepts and skills we've be.

Audience feedback responses & what I have learnt
The feedback received was overall very positive. Respondents agreed that the genre was clearly shown and conventions were followed. However, some noted that the house style/brand identity between the magazine cover and film poster could be stronger. Other suggested improvements included using a tripod for filming to improve image quality, making the storyline and sad elements clearer, and making the on-screen text bolder and easier to read. The creator is pleased with the positive feedback but acknowledges areas like house style consistency and technical aspects that could be improved if done again.
