Proposal
The document proposes an opening scene for a thriller film. It discusses being inspired by the narrative voiceover in Top Boy and the mental health aspect of Halloween. The proposed opening involves someone escaping from a mental institution to get revenge, though the reason is initially unknown. Multiple locations are considered for filming the opening montage, including parks, forests, and hospitals. Slow, building orchestral music and diegetic sounds are discussed to create tension. A range of camera angles, such as close-ups, establishing shots, and following shots, will be used to set the scene and show emotion and isolation of characters.

Oren Peli is an influential director in the psychological horror genre known for films like Paranormal Activity that popularized the "found footage" style. Peli was inspired by The Blair Witch Project's idea of presenting lost footage that was found. Paranormal Activity had a minuscule budget of just over $15,000 but was very effective due to its basic approach. The document discusses additional elements the author likes from films influenced by Peli, such as the presence of children in Sinister and the use of disturbing something to unleash evil like in The Ring.
Dead silence analysis
The opening of Dead Silence uses sound, mise-en-scene, editing, and camerawork to set up the horror themes and tension. The sound of an old film roll introduces the story as something from the past. A match lighting plays a creepy music box tune. Mise-en-scene shows a candle lighting to reveal the creation of an evil-looking doll, emphasized through close-ups and dark lighting. Distorted titles and a darkened color palette through editing immerse the audience in the horror. Camera angles like a bird's-eye view of doll-making heighten the tension, as does a closing zoom into the doll's eye.
The conjuring
The document analyzes the opening scenes of the film "The Conjuring" and provides suggestions for how to structure the opening of a student film about evil dolls. It recommends starting with a flashback showing the dolls before events turn dark, and mixing this with footage of happy children playing. It also suggests using an unidentified person running through the woods with an eerie soundtrack, and leaving some mystery unexplained to intrigue viewers. Camera techniques like zooming in on a doll's face and handheld footage are cited as effective ways to set an unsettling tone.

The Deadpool film opening establishes the narrative through the Marvel title sequence and logo. It starts with a black screen and accelerating Marvel logo, then reveals the logo which slowly shrinks. The opening scene features calm jazz music and a pullback shot from a lighter to show the faces of characters, possibly the main character. Extreme close-up and wide shots are used to set the atmosphere and outline the scene. The lighting looks natural and falls on objects and characters. While many characters are shown, the focus is not immediately on Deadpool but other random characters to open the film. The characters' scared facial expressions and outfits matching the action theme, along with makeup and blood, help create a dangerous ambience. The opening will

It describes using editing software to cut clips, cinematography with multiple cameras, inclusion of props, costumes, sets, and copyright-free music. It notes that the surreal comedy genre features an unexpected plot twist and hybrid elements. While intended for online viewing rather than mainstream cinema, the unconventional mystery-comedy format with an open ending challenges some conventions.
Evaluation question 5
The document discusses feedback received on a film opening sequence created by the author and their group. It provides details on three key aspects of the sequence: 1) establishing threatening thug characters through a kitchen scene and costumes, which test audiences responded positively to; 2) the varied camera work though some shots were too shaky; and 3) issues with audio quality where dialogue was unclear at times due to lack of proper microphones and soundtrack overlap, which audiences suggested improving.
Sound and voiceover
Sound plays an important role in movie trailers by helping to tell the story and set the atmosphere. There are two main types of sound used: non-diegetic sounds like music that add to the aesthetic and diegetic sounds from within the scene like dialogue. Voiceovers are also commonly used to introduce the film and generate hype without revealing too much of the plot. They may provide background on the director, actors, or give a short synopsis to draw audiences in. Sound effects are carefully crafted to match the genre, such as using melons to mimic knife killings in horror films.

Evaluation - Q1
The document discusses how a student's supernatural horror film opening uses and develops conventions of the genre. It conducted research on other film openings. The title "3:17AM" provides insight without immediately suggesting horror. Visual elements like fonts, effects and desaturated colors follow conventions. The setting in a isolated family home and props like candles are common. Shots build suspense through zooms and pans. Hints about the narrative reference conventions like vulnerable characters and threatening forces. Filming during the day challenged realism expected of the genre. Overall, the opening fits conventions through its use of various visual and audio elements.
Initial Idea For My Opening Sequence
The document outlines a student's idea for a 3-minute opening sequence to a film. The sequence would show a group of friends arriving on holiday using quick clips. It would have a voiceover to provide background while flashing between clips. The student considers showing either a romantic comedy with upbeat music, or creating suspense by including clips that foreshadow tension. Technical aspects like using a GoPro for underwater scenes are mentioned. The goal is to grab audience attention, set the scene, and leave them with suspense at the end to make them want to keep watching.

Friends will be cast in the roles and pre-existing music and sounds will be used due to a lack of audio production experience.

Evaluation 6
My opening sequence follows conventions of thriller films in several ways:
1) It uses low-key lighting and shadows in shots filmed in dark locations like Megan's house to create tension, emulating films like Se7en.
2) It establishes the location of Megan's ordinary family home to set the scene, as seen in Zodiac's opening.
3) It splits the dramatic title cards from the visuals and uses suspenseful music between scenes, leaving the narrative on a cliffhanger to encourage viewers to continue watching.

Mv production assignment form 2020
Here are 3 potential locations I could use:
1. My home - I can film most of the video here using a simple white background. No travel required.
2. A field near my village - A short walk away but allows outdoor scenes. Weather could be an issue but won't affect footage quality.
3. My college - They have equipment I could borrow and larger spaces for filming. May require permission but offers more options.
Fixed
This experimental short film titled "Fixed" explores themes of obsession, isolation, and habit through the relationship between two characters: a frail protagonist who isolates themselves in a pink room and obsessively paints portraits of an ambiguous man who walks through the room each day. The film takes place entirely within the single pink room set. The protagonist's daily routine builds up to the man's entrance and brief interaction before the protagonist paints their portrait. On one day, when the man ignores the protagonist, they have a frenzied breakdown, destroying the room with black ink. The next day, the protagonist leaves through the door, leaving the man sitting alone in the destroyed room.
Evaluation question 1.
The document discusses film conventions and how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions. It analyzes conventions for openings, genres, characters, locations, lighting, sound, editing, and more. For their horror film opening, it uses many conventions like logos, titles, music, and introducing characters, but also challenges conventions through lighting, props, and character archetypes to surprise the audience. The goal is keeping viewers engaged through a mix of conforming to and adapting expectations.
Audio pro forma
The document provides a review and analysis of four existing audio products: a haunted house soundscape, a podcast called "Short Cuts- Red", the radio program "The Archers", and the BBC series "Doctor Who". For each product, the reviewer discusses what elements worked well and could be improved. Some key findings include that the haunted house soundscape may have overused sound effects, while "Short Cuts- Red" effectively added layers like sound effects and music to enhance storytelling. "The Archers" and "Doctor Who" both used dialogue and sound design skillfully to immerse the listener. Overall, the reviewer examines techniques for audio storytelling across different formats.
Paranormal activity pp
The document provides an analysis of the trailer for the film Paranormal Activity. It summarizes the key camera shots, editing techniques, sound, mise-en-scene, and theories used in the trailer.

Jump scares are enhanced through minimal music and diegetic sounds. The trailer targets mainstream audiences aged 16-34 through its portrayal of ordinary characters investigating supernatural events in their family home.

- 1. By Shanon Burnett & Daniel Hughes-Young PROPOSAL
- 2. INSPIRATION • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1nsgU0meaw • I find this trailer of Top Boy inspirational because of the narrative voiceover. It was edited to have loads of montages and extreme close ups. The iconography of the genre which I will then alternate to make it unique and to unit to our thriller. • Halloween 1978 also inspires me. The idea that the murderer has mental health issues is something I want to try and incorporate into my opening.
- 3. IDEAS • So far, I thought an idea for what the film could be is someone who escapes from a mental institute so that they get revenge on someone. The reason to the audience is unknown to keep suspense and so they can discover the enigma. • I thought I could start with a narrative (the escaper) explaining their story, why they are doing what they’re doing and why they think they should do it. • Another possible idea could be that the girl is having family problems, and is running away from home.
- 4. NAMES • I am still uncertain of a name, however here are a few ideas. Film Names Mad House Who? There’s Always One Wrong Headed It’s Up To Me My List Countdown The Last One
- 5. LOCATION • For my film opening, we will be using a lot of different locations, the opening of the film is set in a park/woods which will either be filmed in Crystal Palace, Blackheath etc. • For the montage there will be a series of shots filmed in a lot of different areas such as a forest, house both interior and exterior, a quite road, and at Maudsley hospital.
- 6. SOUND • For the opening of my film, I’ve have decided to use slow soft orchestral music which slowly speeds up gets louder. I have decided to use this because it will gain tension between the viewers, and also sets the tone of the film. • Here is a piece of music we are thinking of using for the opening; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdd4wkWgvfs – adele- hometown instrumental http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeEDQMLtyGY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZemAoRzmobw – One missed call music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hio1fHy_3HM&list=RD02ZemAoRzmobw – dead silence music There will also be a lot of enhanced diagetic sound which will exaggerate scene and make the viewers tense.
- 8. LIGHTING • In the thriller opening I am using, there will be a lot of low key lighting during the narrative part of the opening, but as the opening continues into the montage it will contain a lot of fairly high key lighting of the main characters and the setting.
- 9. CAMERA ANGLES • I will be using a range of camera angles which will firstly establish the setting of where the film might be set, also I will be using a lot of close ups and extreme close ups to show the emotion of the characters face, I will also be taking a lot of long shots and wide shots to show that the character is vulnerable and isolated.
- 10. EDITING • There will be a huge amount of editing done in this opening scene, I plan to use a voiceover at the beginning of the opening, to tell a story as the starts straight into an action scene, also I will be including a montage of different scenes and locations what will appear into a film. • There is also going to be a filter on the camera which will make it seem melancholy and gloomy, which is also a typical convention for a thriller film.
- 11. CAMERA ANGLES • We will be using a range of camera angles which will to firstly establish the setting and also give viewers an idea of who is who. ESTABLISHING SHOTS At the beginning, I plan to use many establishing shots to set the scene and let the audience get a sense of where they are. CLOSE UP’S In the trailer for Top Boy, there was a series of close ups on what is probably the main characters. I liked this idea and thought I could in cooperate it into my opening. OVER THE SHOLDER I want to use this shot to give put the audience in the shoes Mise-En-Scene I also though it would be good to do a few shots of items that are typically found in a thriller e.g. Blood, knifes... FOLLOWING SHOTS I want to use following shots when the ‘victim’ is running through different places, to emphasise how far she ran for. Extreme Close- Up To show emotion of the character.
