The document summarizes Sadia Fatani's media studies foundation portfolio project on creating a movie opening exploring the social issue of blackmailing on phones. The opening scene shows a girl receiving scary messages on her phone but choosing to ignore them and go to sleep instead of telling anyone. This represents how teenagers today don't take things seriously. The movie challenges conventions by having no background music for the murder scene and the murderer wearing white instead of black. Sadia discusses plans to partner with Universal Studios for distribution due to their wide reach and interest in different genres. Through this project, Sadia improved production skills like camera angles and video editing and learned to use technologies like blogging, tripods, and movie making software.

Creative critical reflection
The document discusses conventions used in horror genre films and how the filmmaker employed some of these conventions in their opening sequence. Specifically, it mentions using dim lighting, ominous titles, suspenseful music, and portraying social issues like overworking to attract teenage audiences. It also discusses how the film engages audiences through plot elements like revenge murders and challenges conventions by not relying on typical horror props. The filmmaker learned new skills in camera angles, editing, lighting and sound design through completing this project.
Evalution
Our media product represents teenage girls ages 14-21 from middle-class backgrounds. It uses conventions of the thriller genre like creeping music during suspenseful scenes. The film follows three girls being stalked by a mysterious man who abducts one of them. Dimension Films and The Weinstein Company would be suitable distributors as they distribute similar thrillers. We attracted our target audience through establishing genre conventions seen in films like Scream, though feedback noted we needed more conventions and less conversation in the opening.
Question 5
This document summarizes a film project created to attract a target audience of females aged 15-24. The film uses a narrative of a 16-year-old girl who goes for a run and discovers her own death. Special effects were used without CGI to explore the narrative and develop an original idea. Soundtracks and camerawork were employed to build suspense and intrigue audiences. The realistic locations and relatable main character of an average girl were meant to appeal to the target demographic.
Horror films
The document proposes a horror film project to Universal Studios. It argues Universal is suitable because of its history of successful horror films dating back to the 1930s. The proposed film is about a generic haunted house scenario, which could appeal to mass audiences. With Universal's financial backing and experience in horror, the film is likely to be successful. The document also discusses how the trailer would follow genre conventions to frighten the target teen and young adult audience.

Creative critical reflection questions shelby
This document contains reflections from a student on their creative critical project which was a horror/thriller film. In three sentences:
The student's film uses conventions of the horror genre like suspenseful music, murders and a masked killer, and represents social issues by including the kidnapping of both female and male victims. To distribute the film, the student would pitch the opening scene to a major production company in hopes of developing it into a wider release. Through making the film, the student developed skills in operating the camera, directing actors, and editing techniques using Windows Live Movie Maker, though they learned filmmaking is more of a hobby than a career path for them.

Horror Genre Presentation
The document discusses the horror genre and its conventions. The purpose of horror films is to create feelings of fear, panic, alarm and dread in the audience by portraying their worst nightmares. Horror films often involve mythical creatures and include violence and gore. Effective horror films use techniques like camerawork, music and editing to build suspense and draw the audience in, while ineffective ones have flaws like bad acting and plots that fail to engage viewers.
Horror powerpoint
Horror films aim to make audiences feel uneasy through the use of isolated or abandoned settings like haunted houses or graveyards. Technical elements like unsteady camera angles, jump cuts, and discordant music are employed to build tension. Iconic colors of red and black, with low lighting, costumes, and props involving weapons also contribute to the horror aesthetic. Narratives typically involve a protagonist confronting an antagonist, sometimes with an ambiguous ending, and common character types are the final girl, victims, and villains like ghosts or serial killers. Recurring themes explore binaries of good versus evil and known versus unknown.
Horror Presentation
The document discusses how horror films have changed over time, with older films focusing more on building suspense through music and themes, while newer films rely more heavily on gore and special effects. Specifically, it notes that modern horror films are more graphic, incorporate more science fiction elements, and are less reliant on suspense. Japanese horror films often retain conventions of older films, but American remakes sometimes fail to replicate these techniques. The document also briefly lists some things commonly found scary in horror films, like clowns, the unknown, realism, and corrupted innocence.

Horror Presentation
Horror films aim to elicit emotions of fear, horror and terror in viewers through plots involving death, the supernatural, or mental illness. They often feature a central villain and take place in isolated settings like haunted houses or the woods. Visual styles in horror movies commonly include shadows, low key lighting, and point-of-view shots. Iconography in horror frequently depicts symbols of death, disfigured faces, screaming victims, and weapons like knives. Narrative devices generally include a hero, villain, victim, and helper as the hero tries to save the day from the antagonist.
Horror films powerpoint
Horror films employ several key conventions in their mise-en-scène, camera work, editing, sound, and characters. Mise-en-scène often features isolated, abandoned places with dark colors and props symbolizing horror. Camera work uses low angles, closeups, and point-of-view shots to create fear and isolate characters. Editing employs quick cuts and jumps to startle audiences and link frightening objects or events. Sound contrasts silence with loud diegetic sounds like footsteps or heartbeats to increase tension. Character archetypes include the hero protagonist and villain who usually dies.

Horror
Horror films aim to elicit fear and terror in viewers. They frequently involve themes of death, the supernatural, or mental illness. The first horror film was made in 1896. In the 1960s, horror film budgets rose and films became more gruesome. While some argue horror films influence violence, research shows they allow viewers to confront fears. Horror films typically use certain techniques like music, settings, characters, and themes to create fear and suspense.
Horror movie conventions
Horror films typically feature isolated, dark settings like abandoned buildings or forests to reflect the loneliness of characters without help. Common props used include knives and guns to convey roles or advance the plot. Camera techniques like high angles, point-of-view shots, and handheld footage add fear by making characters seem vulnerable or disorienting the audience. Dark lighting, shadows, and unsettling non-diegetic sounds further an atmosphere of tension and dread.

Inspiration was drawn from the TV show Pretty Little Liars, including using a mirror message and camera angles. The intended audience is ages 15-35 due to drug use being depicted. The film would likely be distributed by a major studio like Paramount or a smaller company like DNA Films. Throughout the project, the student gained experience with storyboarding, camerawork, editing with iMovie, researching music, and more to integrate technologies into the production.
Media evaluation

It challenged some conventions by shooting scenes in daylight and keeping the music consistent during an action scene. The film represented teenagers dealing with problematic issues like drug dealing. It would be suitable for distribution on platforms like Film4 and Channel4 since it appeals to a diverse audience and was produced by young talents. The target age group of 15-18 years old was chosen as research found thrillers popular with this demographic. The student addressed the audience through an engaging plot, suspense, and fulfilling aspects they identified teens enjoy in thrillers through research and a focus group.
Creative critical reflection of the final project by Nida Asim

The opening establishes the main character, a young woman returning to her old family home where supernatural events begin to occur. The student challenged some horror conventions by shooting in daylight rather than darkness and leaving the supernatural elements ambiguous at first.
Distribution plans included sharing on social media sites like YouTube since major studios may not be interested in a student film. The project helped the student improve their production and editing skills. Their teacher provided helpful guidance and feedback that increased their knowledge and ability to analyze

- The document discusses the filmmaker's horror film project which challenges conventions of the genre by starting in daylight and a familiar setting of the woods.
- It represents younger audiences who can relate to the main character walking home from school but also tries to interest older audiences with something new.
- The film would be distributed in cinemas first for large audiences and revenue, then on DVD and channels like Sky that can restrict viewership to those over 15 due to violent or scary content.
- The target audience is teenagers aged 15-21 who can relate to the main character but it does not fully exclude older viewers who have also walked through woods alone before.
Critical Reflection
The document discusses the film "Dreams" created by the author. It challenges some horror film conventions by showing the protagonist in high key lighting rather than darkness. It was inspired by "Nightmare on Elm Street" but changes some elements, such as setting a scene in a park rather than outside a house. The film engages audiences through ambiguous characters and mysterious endings. The author believes Universal Pictures would be a good distributor due to its experience with low-budget horror films. Studying media helped develop the author's production skills through learning camera techniques, editing software, and the filmmaking process.

media studies movie evaluation (creative critical reflection)
- 1. MEDIA STUDIES AS EVALUATION- FOUNDATION PORTFOLIO BY SADIA FATANI
- 2. How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? The movie opening I created is based upon a social issue about blackmailing on phone which is not taken seriously by most of us. The opening shot is about a girl who is busy surfing on the internet when she gets an unknown call which she ignores.
- 3. She also gets some messages which scare her but instead of telling anyone she peacefully sleeps and then she is murdered by an unknown person. Usually murder scenes are very dramatic with background music but in my video there is no such background music and the murderer murders the girl with a pillow.
- 4. The genre of my movie is suspense and mystery. I challenged the convention as the murderer in my movie is wearing a white cloth while in other movies murderers or killers usually wear a black coat and have some sort of weapon in their hands. The ending leaves a mystery as the killer leaves without showing their face .
- 5. The opening of my movie consists of a girl who after getting calls from an unknown number ignores it and is busy getting ready when she gets a message which scares her. Though she gets scared ,she chooses not to tell anyone and goes to sleep without showing much care.
- 6. The social issue represented here is that teenagers now a days no longer care about anything. Just like in this picture ,the girl got scared by the messages but she chose to sleep instead of taking some major step.
- 7. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? Since my film is a low budget one,it was very difficult to find a distributer. After researching about different small and large ditributors ,I came to the conclusion that I want Universal Studios to be my film’s distributor. Since Universal studios accepts all genres and are willing to distribute both high budget and low budget films.
- 8. They are also interested in all kinds of genres like romantic, action , comedy ,horror and so on.Universal studios are very wellknown all over the world which makes it easy for the producers to distribute and make their film a success. Since Universal studios is a big name,it will help me to attract audiences more easily.The Unique selling point of my film is that it has no background music.
- 9. How did your production skills develop throughout this project? Through out this project,my production skills have developed a lot.I learnt different camera angles for eg 180 degree I had a lot of difficulties as well, such as having jumps in between the video,noise in the background and a lot more I also learnt how to edit a video.
- 10. Taking different shots and combining them was a very difficult task for me as I had to take a lot of different shots and there were jumps in between.
- 11. How did you integrate technologies in this project? I have learnt a lot of different things throughout this project.I learnt the use of blogging and made a blog. I learnt how to use a tripod, different camera shots such a mid shot , rule of thirds and depth of field. I have also learnt to use tumblr due to submission of my assignments.
- 12. I learnt how to edit a video through windows movie maker and also how to check ratings of different films on ImDb.
