more about the character, for
example What’s he doing
there? How did he get there?
The camera angle makes the
audience pick up on the sweat
pouring on his -
forehead, this is
emphasises by his greasy hair
sticking to his forehead. The
camera angle also makes us
feel emotion towards the
character who we have never
seen before and we might be
able to relate to him in a
certain aspect. The camera
angle also stresses the fact in
which his head is too big for
what looks like a wooden door,
as he cannot get all of his head
through it.
Setting – The setting is what we make out to be a
slash in a wooden bathroom door, this is unclear to
the audience but makes the most reasonable
explanation due to the connotations in which we
have linked with the slashes commonly known within
horror films. By there being nothing else in the shot
we can interpret that the character is perhaps lonely.
The character fits the typical horror
stereotype very well as he looks
crazy, dirty and smelly. The fact in
which he is presented to the
audience in this particular way could
suggest that he has hygiene issues as
he needs a good shave and to brush
his discoloured teeth. The characters
eyes also look very dark and dingy,
this could suggest that he is staring at
something and is almost preying on
them/it. The way in which his eyes
are positioned suggests that he has
an evil plan, this is supported by the
way in which his teeth and almost
grinding each other.
Lighting – By the lighting being
dull/mysterious it conforms to typical
horror films as it suggests mystery
and death, the low key lighting
supports this as many different
connotations can be interpreted from
the lighting, for example Where is
he? The lighting also gives the
audience the feeling of anxiety as
they don’t know/can’t see what he’s
looking at in the dingy little space in
which he head is poking out of.
Genre – From looking at this still-image we can tell
that the genre of the film is a horror due to the low
key lighting, dirty looking character and slash in the
door. All three of these features are typical things in
which we would expect to find in a horror film as
they can all offer lots and varied connotations.
How does looking at a still-image
help our analysis? – By
looking at this still-image it helps
our analysis as we are slowly
piecing together what type of
genre we think the film is and
why it has been crafted for that

'The Ring' film poster analysis
The film poster is for "The Ring", a psychological horror film. The title is written in a distorted handwriting font in white against a black background, conveying an ominous tone. No actors' names are listed, focusing attention on the storyline over stars. The colors black and white were chosen to represent horror and create contrast. The tagline "Before you die you see" further hints at the terrifying plot. The target audience is males aged 15-30, and the poster design attracts this demographic with its horror elements. The unique selling point is the new concept of a film that kills viewers after watching it.
The Pitch (depth)
Friends try to find their missing friend Charlotte, who has been reportedly kidnapped. However, in searching for her, the friends themselves get kidnapped. It ends up that Charlotte had planned the whole thing and was never actually kidnapped. The film will have similarities to Taken and Scream and will focus on the theme that there is more to the story than initially meets the eye. The working title is "Depth" and the tagline is "There's more to what meets the eyes." Key characters include the worried friend looking for Charlotte, the skeptical friend who thinks Charlotte is attention-seeking, and the friend who received a text purportedly from Charlotte but questions if it really was her. The target audience is teenagers, aiming for demographic categories C
Poster research
Horror movie posters tend to use unsaturated shades of red, blue, green, and brown to invoke fear in viewers by playing on the colors' associations with horror. They often feature blurred titles and close-ups of faces or violent scenes. Action movie posters similarly use bright versions of red, blue, green, and orange to create a sense of adrenaline, with large action scenes and explosions in the background below the title. Comedy posters employ refreshing colors like blue, yellow, and green with images of characters laughing. Drama posters convey despair through dull colors and intimate portraits of relationships that pique curiosity.
More on narrative
Unrestricted narrative provides the audience with more information than the characters through techniques like foreshadowing danger or revealing backstories. Restricted narrative leaves some details unknown to keep the audience engaged by presenting "enigma codes" for them to solve. Enigma codes can be created through fast editing, flashbacks raising unanswered questions, or important props whose purpose remains unclear. The use of both narrative styles aims to engage audiences in horror films by balancing revealed and unknown information.

Title
Titles are shown at the beginning of trailers and provide information like the movie or production company name. They can also provide context about the storyline. Credits are shown at the end and list important details such as the cast, producers, and social media. Titles are used throughout trailers to inform the audience about quotes, release dates, and reviews. They identify actors, popular production companies, and the distribution company to attract viewers. Titles and credits are formatted differently based on the movie genre to set expectations and fit with the genre's conventions.
Nightwatch mise en scene analysis
The opening titles of the film Nightwatch use mise-en-scene elements to set the tone and leave the audience with questions. The dark background, light blue title font, and blurred writing create a mysterious feel. The first shot shows a woman who appears blindfolded under harsh lighting, leaving her situation unclear. Early locations are dark and outdoor, suggesting a cold, unsettling tone. Characters wear uniforms, but their purpose is unknown. A close-up of red lips could foreshadow blood or passion. The first clear image shows a man drinking, allowing viewers to judge his character. Elements like color, expressions, and props are used to subtly provide insights while maintaining mystery.

Horror film posters commonly use close-up eye images and depictions of old, unsettling houses to set an eerie tone through enigmatic images and dull colors that convey fear and mystery. Fonts are informal and characters are shown in dark lighting to add uncertainty.
Task 1 Evaluation
Our opening title sequence uses conventions common to thriller films. We show the events through the protagonist's perspective rather than the hero. Newspaper clippings indicate the villain has kidnapped three victims. High angle shots make the character seem watched by CCTV, as if having committed a crime. Low angle shots are used to inspire fear in the viewer who feels psychologically dominated. The main setting of the villain's hideout in the woods is shown in black and white to seem eerie. Split screens are used to show different locations while keeping the character's identity mysterious, inspired by the film Timecode.

Conventions of the sub – genre slasher
The document summarizes conventions of slasher films in three key areas:
1) Locations are usually isolated forests or dark areas with low populations, making it difficult for protagonists to escape or find help from the killer.
2) The identity of the killer is typically unknown and hidden using masks or camera techniques, building suspense as the audience tries to guess who it is. The killer wields a weapon like a chainsaw or knife and is portrayed as quiet and unstoppable.
3) Scenes generally use low-key lighting to create fear, though some begin with high-key lighting to establish normalcy before transitioning darker to reflect the killer approaching the protagonists.
Narrative enigmas in trailers
The narrative conventions in action movie trailers typically involve:
1) Showing characters living stable lives at first, then introducing a problem or conflict through fast-paced scenes.
2) Ending with an enigma or cliffhanger to engage viewers and make them wonder what will happen next.
3) Using restricted narratives that don't reveal too much and encourage viewers to watch the full movie. Common enigmas center around who is behind threats or conflicts facing the main characters. Fast pacing, fade outs, and montages are used to create these enigmas and suspense.
Ident research upper

Film poster analysis
The film poster uses red and white font for the title "Perfect Stranger" which contrasts danger with purity to suggest someone appearing one way but being another. Low-key lighting creates mystery as darkness gradually increases from bottom to top, possibly representing a male character trapping a female one. A close-up shows the female looking worried and scared with half her face hidden, suggesting secrets and her vulnerability as she appears to hide from the male figure who has mental control over her though she is prominent. He fades into the background ghost-like with a direct gaze that intrigues the audience amidst the sense of entrapment and control created by the metal surroundings.

The opening scene will show the hitman outside having a cigarette before cutting to the office scene and main title cards layered over city skyline shots and blueprints.
The art of a title
The document discusses title sequences in films and television. It explains that a title sequence identifies the text or film and helps guide audience reception and interpretation.

Youth gender etc
This document discusses Richard Dyer's star theory and how youth, gender, and ethnicity are represented in indie music videos. It explains that stars are constructed through marketing rather than reflecting the real person. For example, Miley Cyrus' star persona differs from who she is privately. It also notes that stars are made into commodities to generate profit, and this leads record labels to produce similar stars. Gender representation in music videos often depicts a male gaze and women as objects. Ethnicity of stars can influence fans' views, and portrayals sometimes rely on stereotypes that may not accurately represent a group.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Media still image
- 1. Camera – The camera angle is a close up. The significance of this is that we can [Type interpret text] more about the character, for example What’s he doing there? How did he get there? The camera angle makes the audience pick up on the sweat pouring on his - forehead, this is emphasises by his greasy hair sticking to his forehead. The camera angle also makes us feel emotion towards the character who we have never seen before and we might be able to relate to him in a certain aspect. The camera angle also stresses the fact in which his head is too big for what looks like a wooden door, as he cannot get all of his head through it. Setting – The setting is what we make out to be a slash in a wooden bathroom door, this is unclear to the audience but makes the most reasonable explanation due to the connotations in which we have linked with the slashes commonly known within horror films. By there being nothing else in the shot we can interpret that the character is perhaps lonely. The character fits the typical horror stereotype very well as he looks crazy, dirty and smelly. The fact in which he is presented to the audience in this particular way could suggest that he has hygiene issues as he needs a good shave and to brush his discoloured teeth. The characters eyes also look very dark and dingy, this could suggest that he is staring at something and is almost preying on them/it. The way in which his eyes are positioned suggests that he has an evil plan, this is supported by the way in which his teeth and almost grinding each other. Lighting – By the lighting being dull/mysterious it conforms to typical horror films as it suggests mystery and death, the low key lighting supports this as many different connotations can be interpreted from the lighting, for example Where is he? The lighting also gives the audience the feeling of anxiety as they don’t know/can’t see what he’s looking at in the dingy little space in which he head is poking out of. Genre – From looking at this still-image we can tell that the genre of the film is a horror due to the low key lighting, dirty looking character and slash in the door. All three of these features are typical things in which we would expect to find in a horror film as they can all offer lots and varied connotations. How does looking at a still-image help our analysis? – By looking at this still-image it helps our analysis as we are slowly piecing together what type of genre we think the film is and why it has been crafted for that affect.
