Evaluation question 5
We attracted our audience by presenting a mysterious horror film featuring a cult of female killers. The film leaves viewers wanting more without revealing too much. It also stars the filmmakers themselves, intriguing friends to watch and see their roles. The spooky soundtrack matched the genre and intensified scenes. It used different music styles to set the mood and reinforce the horror theme. The film title was adapted from the action horror film "The Hills Have Eyes" to attract that audience and suggest a creepy, stalking theme set in a school through the word "halls".

Common plots involve characters trying to escape their past by faking their death or disappearing, only to be found or captured by their stalker.

It questions whether hybridity could lead to more stability over time or if offline powers may still dominate during conflicts, and asks if hybrid media is ultimately good for pluralistic democracy.
Media examples of genres
The document discusses various film and television genres including action, adventure, comedy, crime, documentary, science fiction, animation, fantasy, and horror. It provides descriptions of each genre including common narrative elements, themes, and examples. Adventure genre stories typically involve a protagonist journeying to accomplish something while facing obstacles. Action genres are similar but with more emphasis on risky situations and explosions.

Animation can include genres like anime, animated films for children, and animated musicals. Horror aims to scare audiences using suspense, violence, and shock.
Genre media
Genre refers to categories of artistic works such as literature, music, and film. Genres are defined by conventions that change over time as new genres emerge and old ones fade away. Films can be categorized by their themes, settings, moods or formats. However, defining film genres is complex as most Hollywood films blend elements of multiple genres. The need to categorize films into genres is important for marketing films to audiences and enabling discussion, but genres are not pure and film identities can be ambiguous.
Genre film studies
This document discusses genre conventions in film. It defines genre as a type or category of film, such as horror, sci-fi, romance, etc. Generic conventions refer to common narrative structures, character types, visual elements, themes, and other expected features that define a particular genre. Identifying generic conventions allows viewers to recognize that a film belongs to a genre based on familiar tropes. However, films can also challenge conventions to create hybrid genres or surprise audiences. While genre categorization helps audiences and producers, overreliance on conventions can make films repetitive.
Codes and conventions
The document discusses the codes and conventions (C&C) of superhero films. It defines C&C as the detailed rules and expectations of the genre. It then lists some common C&C elements: settings are often American cities where crime occurs; themes involve public issues affecting everyone and private issues affecting main characters; characters usually include a heroic protagonist, villain, damsel/victim, and general public; props involve significant recognizable items central to the plot; narratives follow a basic good vs evil structure and often start with the hero's origin story; and style builds a specific look and feel to link to source comics or franchise.
Post Modernism in Media
Postmodern media rejects the idea that any media product is more valuable than another. It argues that our sense of reality is now dominated by popular media images, and the distinction between media and reality has collapsed. Postmodern media is characterized by hybridity, bricolage, simulation, and disjointed narratives that mimic the uncertainties of postmodernity. Experts claim that economic and cultural changes have led to a society dominated by images and short attention spans.
Genre theory
Genre theory posits that genres are defined by certain conventions of content, themes, settings, and forms that are shared among texts belonging to that genre. However, genres are dynamic and open to negotiation rather than fixed forms. Individual texts can also belong to multiple genres depending on factors like location and time period. Genres provide frameworks that position readers and viewers in certain ways, but also offer pleasures through repetition and deviation from expectations.
Genre theory
Genre theory categorizes texts into types or categories based on common elements. Traditionally, genres were seen as fixed forms, but contemporary theory emphasizes that genres are dynamic and reflect changes in society. Genres are recognizable through repeated conventions like iconography, narrative structure, character stereotypes, and themes. However, genres are also progressive and blurring, making pure genres a thing of the past as they hybridize and borrow from one another. The main strength of genre theory is that it provides a framework for producers, audiences, and scholars to understand and engage with media texts, but it also risks stifling creativity if genres become too rigid.

Q7.pptx
1) The document discusses conducting primary research through a questionnaire to understand what a target audience expects to see in a thriller title sequence, including music, color schemes, shot types, and fonts.
2) The research helped the author gain skills in filming, creating title sequences, and adding titles to products. It provided ideas for additional shot types to include in the final production.
3) By applying what was learned, the author was able to improve their final product and make it more professional and consistent compared to the preliminary work.
Q6
This document discusses the technology used to create a product. The creator used cameras, a Mac computer, and tripod to capture high quality footage, which was then edited using software like Final Cut Express and Garageband. This enhanced the finished product with effects. In the process, the creator also learned new skills in using equipment.
q5
The document discusses research and planning for a thriller title sequence project. It includes a questionnaire given to three people about their expectations for thriller title sequences. Their responses informed production choices around lighting, music, color schemes, and shot types. The student analyzed the findings and considered how it affected their ideas. They then created a product and gathered feedback on it through another questionnaire. The feedback was positive and indicated the product successfully captured the thriller genre.
Evaluation q2
Andrew Hancock is evaluating how his short film represents his target social group of males aged 25-34. He uses mysterious music in the title sequence to build atmosphere for the thriller genre. Images in the titles show a body to intrigue audiences without revealing the plot. To appeal to males, the film contains gory and scary action themes based on research finding males enjoy these genres more. Shots and actors are used to appeal to the male audience, and the film contains themes of murder, darkness and mystery to attract the target demographic. Appropriate dialogue and shots are included that wouldn't appeal to younger viewers, making the film more desirable for males aged 25-34.
Opening title research
The document compares the opening title sequences of three films: Splice, which has 30 titles over 3 minutes, a longer than average sequence; Vantage Point, which has a very brief 1 minute sequence with only 4 titles; and Juno, which has 23 titles over 2.5 minutes, meeting the average length and number of titles cited. The document suggests aiming for a title sequence of around 2.5 minutes with approximately 23 titles.
Prelim story board
The story board outlines the preliminary plan for a project. It includes sketches of key scenes and events to convey the overall storyline and progression of the narrative. In 3 frames or less, brief captions describe the main character's introduction, a conflict they encounter, and how they begin to resolve the issue.
Recce of location
The document discusses recce of a location for filming. It notes that lighting shouldn't be an issue as the areas have controllable lights and windows, and filming by the river will be early. Access to the river is public, and the person has full access and a key to the private church building.
Risks and hazards
Risk assessments and hazard evaluations are important tools for organizations. They help identify potential risks, hazards, and vulnerabilities within systems and processes.

Media genre
- 1. + Researching Genres By Andrew Hancock
- 2. + Definition Of Genre A genre is a style or type of music literature, movies, or other media. In film theory, genre refers to the method based on similarities in the narrative elements from which films are constructed. Most theories of film genre are borrowed from literary genre criticism.
- 3. + Audience expectations When someone buys into a certain genre, they expect certain themes and genre conventions For example: If someone goes to watch a comedy film, they would expect there to be high-key lighting, bright colouring, happy and fast paced music, etc. In contrast to this, if someone went to go see a thriller film, they would expect low-key lighting, dull colouring, eerie and creepy music that creates tension and fast paced editing.
- 4. + My Chosen Genre The genre I have chosen to do is thriller. Expectations of thriller: Fast pace editing Low key lighting Dull colouring Sketchy font Possible themes of death and violence
