The document discusses plans for filming the opening scene of a horror film. It will take place at night in a isolated, big house to create feelings of fear and isolation. Various rooms in the house, including the basement, will be filmed to set an eerie atmosphere. The scene will involve a girl home alone hearing strange noises and investigating the basement, where the door locks behind her and something grabs her, ending on a cliffhanger. The filmmaker aims to inspire tension and fear as in the movie Scream and follow horror film conventions to engage the target audience.
Doesnt Stop You
The document discusses how failing or not achieving something on the first try does not preclude future success or progress. Over 30 sentences, it uses flowery language to describe grand accomplishments and then notes that not achieving such feats on the first attempt does not stop one from still doing smaller good acts. The overall message is that lack of immediate or complete success should not discourage continued positive action.

Analysis of two minute film sequences
The two-minute opening sequences of Halloween (1978) and Scream (1996) effectively set the tone for horror.
In Halloween, ominous music and lighting are used to build suspense as the camera pans around a dark house, revealing shadowy props that startle the audience. Scream introduces a likeable female teenager talking alone on the phone, following horror conventions to make the audience anxious about what may happen to her.
Both openings rely on sound and visual techniques over dialogue to create dread and leave the audience speculating about upcoming threats, setting the stage for a terrifying watch.

The film begins with a shot establishing Kane's castle estate, with clues about his character. As the camera zooms in on a lit window, the audience knows this is where they are headed and where they will find answers. When the light goes out, it represents Kane's death and the start of the mystery. Various props around the estate, like a caged bear and gondola, further set up Kane's repressed emotions and displacement. The editing uses dissolves to create an atmosphere of decay around the isolated castle. When a snow globe is shattered in an exaggerated close-up, it emphasizes its importance and Kane's insanity.
Location shots
Eight locations will be used to film scenes for the thriller movie. The first location is a street and underpass where the main character encounters the murderer.

The film begins with a shot of a sign saying "No trespassing" in front of a castle, making the audience feel like trespassers who are about to see a secret. As the camera zooms in on a lit window, it reinforces the sense that this is where the audience is headed. When the light in the window goes out, it represents the death of Charles Foster Kane and the start of the mystery that will drive the protagonist. Clues in the props around the castle, like a caged bear and decaying ruins, set up Kane's feelings of anger and aging that will emerge later. The music builds suspense until reaching a close-up of Kane to increase curiosity about what is inside the
Fatal Attraction
This document analyzes the cinematography, editing, sound, and other techniques used in a scene to build tension and create fear in the audience. It describes how the establishing shot shows a peaceful setting unaware of coming events. As the scene progresses, ominous music, unsettling zooms, and a sudden reveal of a dead bunny install shock and fear. Pathetic fallacy and lighting also reflect the changing mood from calm to disturbing discoveries. Cross-cutting between characters builds tension as they approach unknown threats. Through these techniques, the scene engages the audience and effectively generates a frightening atmosphere.
La doncella ciega
Legend says that accessing a secret webpage alone at midnight in the dark allows the user to have a horrifying experience. The page offers disturbing images and the slogan promises an "absolute horror" experience. To participate, the user must use their five senses without clicking "OK" by mistake. If they do, they will be transformed into the image on the screen. However, clicking "OK" surprisingly shows a sinister silhouette walking in their own home, implying this will be the user's end.
Photoshoot
The document discusses photo selections for a magazine. It analyzes the photos chosen for different artists. For Shannon Clarke, full-profile studio shots against a white background were chosen to look professional and promote her new album.

Three dramatic photos of Nicole Tomkins were picked that portray her as a famous star through her makeup and outfit. A fun, casual photo of George Ezra was selected for the contents page to contrast other posed shots and highlight his fame in indie-pop music.

This document provides analysis and feedback on three student film opening examples. For the first example, the analysis notes the suspense created by the absence of dialogue and grey color palette, and suggests adding some dialogue for clarity. For the second example, the confined elevator setting is effective but some acting and camerawork could be improved. The third example has steady shots and fitting music, though the child's dialogue quality and title design could be better.

The conjuring opening sequence analysis (1)
The opening sequence of The Conjuring establishes the horror genre through modified studio logos and darkness with dialogue. Shaky camera movements on a doll's face imply it is dangerous. Backstory on the doll Annabelle is provided through dialogue as images are shown. Tension is built through a slow zoom onto Annabelle's blank expression. A flashback jarringly shifts from quiet to loud, shocking the audience. Strange written messages and a damaged room create confusion about the doll's abilities. The sequence ends by seemingly resolving the threat but hinting at an unhappy ending through genre conventions.
The Sixth Sense
M. Night Shyamalan uses lighting, camerawork, editing, and sound design to build tension and fear in a scene from The Sixth Sense. The corridor is dark while Cole's bedroom provides safety and light. Close-ups capture Cole's panic and the woman's injuries. Unexpected cuts and changes in sound level startle the audience. Shyamalan skillfully employs techniques of the thriller genre to induce adrenaline and shock in viewers.

It is eventually revealed that their student guide is behind the incidents, using the house to hold people hostage. The film aims to build tension as the characters explore the dark, creepy setting. It cites the film "Don't Breathe" as a tonal inspiration. The target audience is those who enjoy short horror films and mysteries with plot twists.
Micro shorts analysis
The micro short film 'Post-It Love' tells the story of a shy office romance developing between a male and female coworker. Over the course of 9 scenes, the two characters exchange smiling glances but are too shy to speak. They begin secretly leaving notes for each other using post-it notes, creating smiling faces, hearts, and drawings to express their affection without directly confronting each other. Their shy exchanges escalate until the final scene, where the male reveals a large collage of their faces, establishing that their mutual interest is now out in the open.

Setting
The document analyzes and summarizes shots from horror films to understand how setting is used to create atmosphere. It finds that settings use dull colors, shadows, and clutter to establish an eerie feeling in early scenes. Isolated or run-down locations heighten a sense of danger. Later, contrasting calm settings with light and natural colors against darker interiors can enhance the scare factor by initially misleading audiences. Understanding how setting manipulates viewers' expectations will help effectively introduce dark, creepy themes in films.

It concludes without revealing the current whereabouts of each individual character.
Django unchained opening scene analysis1
The opening scene of Django Unchained establishes the setting, genre, and ideology. It begins with an establishing shot of an isolated desert, accompanied by western music. Next, the camera tracks six chained black slaves walking single file, led by two white men on horseback, clearly establishing them as slaves. Close-ups show markings on the slaves' backs from whipping. The mise-en-scene explores the hierarchy between characters through costumes and props like chains. The scenery as the slaves walk suggests they are poorly treated. Changes in location and lighting indicate the passage of time on their difficult journey. This opening scene clearly establishes the western genre and foreshadows issues of culture and race in the film.
Script
The narrator, Sam Mills, recalls a cold winter day when he and his friends Neil, Austin, and Alan decided to go on a walk with no plan or destination in mind. Neil was known as the craziest of the group who often did reckless things. Austin was the unofficial leader due to his charm and success with girls. In contrast, Alan was Sam's closest friend who tried hard to impress but lacked luck with girls. One time, Alan kept talking about a conspiracy theory, so to prove him wrong, the group set out to investigate it, not knowing what they would encounter.
Target audience
1) The document discusses determining the target audience for a Western film by considering the genre, violence level, and sub-genre.
2) It decides on a "Modern Western" aimed at males ages 15-34, as stereotypically they enjoy violent shooting films.
3) The target audience also includes social grades C2 and C1, as lower middle class viewers can relate to typical Western character occupations and settings.

The document discusses several locations that will be featured in the filmmaker's music video. Niall and Lucy's bedrooms will represent the characters and their emotions. Ogden Waters and Ogden Woods are nearby natural areas that will be used to isolate the characters and represent Niall's feelings for Lucy. The school's performing arts room and hall will be used for performance scenes, replicating a stage to make it look realistic. All of the locations allow flexibility in filming and help convey the filmmaker's vision of portraying the emotions surrounding new love.

For Women in Black, it starts with three young girls having a creepy tea party. Shots are initially close-ups to build suspense before revealing the old, plain setting. The girls' pale faces and innocent bows make the scene even eerier. Their slow, emotionless movements to look at and walk to the window add to the creepiness. Lighting dims as they are controlled to jump out the window, representing death. Scary music with ghostly winds and screaming builds tension.
For Se7en, the opening uses mainly close-ups and extreme close-ups of

Location shots
This document discusses potential filming locations for a thriller set in the past. It proposes an old-fashioned room with candlelight for a scene, noting the period furnishings would require little additional styling. It also suggests a messy study could work well due to papers already on the desk. Shots in a dark, rainy lane are proposed for a hallucination scene where the character is running away after taking drugs. Over-the-shoulder shots and points of view would aim to make the sequence seem fast-paced.
Actors, Costume, Props
The document discusses the casting choices for several roles in a dystopian film set in a derelict building. Actors between ages 14-18 were chosen so that they appear similar in age to the target audience and can relate to living alone in the conditions described.

The document also discusses costume and makeup choices meant to portray characters living in difficult conditions without access to proper clothing or hygiene. Props discussed include a pocket watch, contact lenses, a dirty mattress, blankets, and empty food tins meant to establish the setting and characters' deprivation.
Location shots finished
The document provides photos and descriptions of three locations being considered for a film shoot: the top and bottom of a staircase where a character interaction will take place; a family lounge where multiple characters can be filmed sitting or standing; and an office that will be transformed into an investigation room for most of the opening scenes. The office was selected as the primary location due to its accessibility within the filmmaker's home and ability to easily modify the space without disruption.
Short film ideas
The document outlines ideas for a short film exploring themes of memory loss and paranoia. The film would follow an unnamed character undergoing an interrogation about exchanging an unknown item. Flashbacks in blurred, contrasting styles would depict the character questioning their own memories. The character would break down upon seeing their reflection in a mirror at the end of the interrogation. The film aims to use minimal dialogue, ambient sounds and simplistic single-room setting to build an isolated, mysterious atmosphere for a niche audience aged 13+.

Question 3 finished
Spyglass Entertainment is an American production company that was founded in 1998. They have a distribution deal with Disney and produce a handful of films per year across various genres. Some psychological thriller films they have distributed include The Sixth Sense and The Invisible, which have similarities to the film being proposed about a mother dealing with flashbacks of her deceased daughter. Due to their success distributing psychological thrillers in the past with comparable narratives, Spyglass Entertainment would be a suitable media institution to distribute the proposed film.
Garageband
The document discusses editing Michael Buble's version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" for use in a film opening. Specifically, it mentions adjusting the pitch, tightness, and smoothness of the vocals, adding speech enhancement, and fading the music in and out to match lyrics to scenes such as a character in the bath. It also notes wanting to find sound effects for when a character pops out of the bath in a flashback scene.
Editing in premier analysis
When editing the film, the author realized it was too dark with no ambient lighting. Attempts to adjust the lighting in the video editor decreased quality and introduced a green/yellow tint. To address this, the author decided to first edit the end, flashback portion to make it appear foggy and dreamy. The author is still working on sound effects, particularly one to add suspense during a surprising scene where a girl emerges from a bath. Adjusting brightness and contrast helped enhance the flashback scenes.
Photograph in the lounge how i edited
The document discusses planning and taking a family photograph for a film project. The author decided on costumes for the characters, with the daughter in bright clothes and down hair, and the father in casual clothes instead of a suit. Makeup was applied to look natural for the daughter and "mummy-like" for the mother. The photograph was taken in front of the Christmas tree for lighting and tone. The author edited the photo in Photoshop, exaggerating bruises on the daughter's face with the clone stamp tool to fit the storyline while avoiding looking too fake.

Filming photo analysis
I had to set up the lounge with the Christmas tree and candles to create an eerie environment for filming. I changed my original storyboard and shot list, deciding to have the subject walk out angrily and throw the Christmas tree over. I am unsure how to best edit the footage together or what effects to use, as I filmed without a set plan.

The document discusses planning costumes and makeup for characters in a photo shoot. The author decided to have the daughter in bright clothing with down hair, and the father in casual clothes instead of a suit. Makeup was used to make the mother look "mummy-like" and the daughter look natural. Photos were taken by the Christmas tree for lighting and to imply the crime happened later. The second photo taken with flash better showed a bruise and the daughter's discomfort, hinting at the family's true situation despite appearing happy.

Location shots
- 1. LOCATION SHOTS: This is one of my first locations; this appears in the beginning of the film opening. In this room the only light that there will be is light from the Christmas tree. This will make it a mysterious and depressing atmosphere, and it will really help to set the mood I am trying to create. When there are wide shots of the windowsill, a part of the tree and also the sofa will be in the shot. This will help the audience understand the surroundings. I want to shoot this in a lounge because this is the classic environment of which a family will be cosy, watching TV and having quality time. So by the mother sitting/standing near the Christmas tree in low key lighting this will exaggerate her loneliness My next location will be in a hallway, my plan is to decorate the stairs with lights, when she is going up the stairs I want her to have her glass of wine in her hand and she will slide her hands across the lights, I want these fairy lights up the stairs case to be the only light course I do not want there to be any high key lighting obviously as I am trying to create a dark, depressing, lonely environment for her to live in.
- 2. My third location will be the top of my stairs/the landing. I will have the doors to all the bedrooms closed, I think this will make the audience intrigued and want to carry on watching in case they find out what’s inside the other rooms. The bathroom door will be open and I will hopefully be using a lamp for the lighting but it will not be a bright lamp. My fourth location will be in my upstairs bathroom, my reason for this is because there is a big bath and I will need that for shooting to experiment with the underwater filming that I will hopefully be doing. Also, I have a mirror and one of my shots is in this mirror. Another thing is, it’s very spacious which will belittle her and once again, exaggerate her loneliness. I think this will be very obvious to the audience especially when the voiceover is playing and it involves the character questioning the audience and making them think.
