Question 5
This document summarizes the key elements of a thriller movie opening, including characters, iconography, narrative, themes, editing, music, and distribution. It describes the characters introduced - three girls and an antagonist dark figure. Iconography includes cars, an urban setting, and technology. The narrative follows a group of friends being stalked. Editing uses transitions, shots, and pacing to build tension. Music includes diegetic, non-diegetic, and incidental sounds. The opening is distributed on YouTube and draws similarities to the TV show Pretty Little Liars.
Pitch
The document outlines a treatment for a supernatural thriller film called "The Walk". The film will tell the story of two brothers whose lives change after one is killed in gang violence in their London estate. The ghost of the dead brother will try to piece together what happened and get revenge. The opening sequence will depict the violent killing in slow motion and later show the ghost walking through the park where he died. The filmmakers provide details on the planned location, props, storyboards, sound design, production schedule, and target audience.
Film trailer analysis
This document analyzes conventions used in horror trailers and discusses several auteur directors. It examines how trailers showcase bits of the film without giving too much away, focusing on themes of good vs. evil, screaming, death, and disrupted normality. It discusses the auteur theory and how directors like Hitchcock, Burton, and Kubrick developed distinct styles and signatures. It concludes by analyzing inspirational horror trailers like The Last Exorcism, Orphan, and Paranormal Activity that effectively use techniques like spiritual locations, children's voices, and shaky "home video" camera work.
Question 1
This document analyzes how a student film opening for a thriller genre film both follows and deviates from typical thriller opening conventions. It follows conventions through the use of an antagonist wearing dark colors, props like earpieces and briefcases, an urban location filmed at night, suspenseful music, and a plot twist. However, it deviates by having female protagonists rather than male, younger main characters rather than middle-aged, and filming the location at night for lighting effects rather than typical daytime filming. The opening both compares to and deviates from real thriller openings in its characters, style, and plot.
Planning
The document discusses the filmmaker's process in developing a sci-fi horror film trailer. They started with the goal of creating a horror/thriller but expanded the genre to include elements of science experiment gone wrong and zombies. Visual elements like props, lighting, and filters were used to convey horror conventions. The teaser trailer structure has a beginning, middle, and leaves the audience guessing without a definitive end. The intended audience is male teenagers and young adults, as signaled by intertitles explaining the plot.

Shaun of the dead opening analysis
The opening scene of Shaun of the Dead uses continuous camera movement to follow characters going about their daily routines.

Conventions of a horror movie
There are several conventions of horror movies that help set the tone and scare audiences. The setting is usually isolated or abandoned to create tension. Technical elements like camera angles, close-ups, and point-of-view shots increase fear. Iconography like haunted houses, symbols of death, and blood/gore are commonly used. Narratives typically involve a protagonist trying to solve the problem of an antagonist threatening evil, and characters often follow stereotypes like the final girl who breaks the mold. Underlying themes generally focus on the battle between good and evil.
What is horror?
Horror films seek to elicit negative emotions in viewers by preying on primal fears. They have evolved over time to reflect new generations' fears, from alien invasions after Sputnik to mutated creatures from nuclear power.

What kind of media insitution might distribute your media product and why?
Our horror film would be distributed by a major company because it follows the conventions of the genre through techniques like low key lighting and disturbing the audience's sense of security. We would use viral marketing techniques like shocking websites and leaked images to promote the film in a cost effective way. We would also create a blog to advertise the film and allow audience interaction, which is a free way to efficiently promote our media and create a community around it.
The use of technology
The document discusses the various technologies used by a group to complete a movie project. They used Final Cut Express for video editing, adding effects like dissolves and scrolling text. A Sony camera was used for filming and the MTrack recorder was used to re-record corrupted audio. USBs and Bluetooth helped transfer files between computers and phones. Without these technologies, the project would have taken longer and been harder to complete.
Preliminary to main
The document reflects on improvements made from a preliminary task to the full product. For the full product, low-key lighting was used to add mystery in key scenes. A high-angle shot of a security camera was implemented to imply the characters were being watched. Close-ups in the preliminary provided unnecessary information, while editing in the full product focused on precision and continuity over effects.

Audience and editing migusham
There are two main theories of audiences - active and passive. An active audience interprets media messages individually through montage editing, while a passive audience absorbs everything without selection like a sponge through continuity editing. Montage editing uses short shots edited together to advance the narrative, sometimes with music to enhance the mood. The Kuleshov effect showed that editing can create different meanings from the same facial expressions. Audience theories range from seeing viewers as passive receivers affected by media to semi-active models where opinion leaders influence others or individuals choose media to fulfill needs.

Film noir Migusham
Classic film noir emerged after World War II as a way to explore the feelings of fear, mistrust, and despair felt by many at that time. These films featured alienated protagonists, convoluted storylines, and a bleak tone reinforced through lighting, cinematography, and settings. They often involved a cynical man manipulated by a deceptive femme fatale figure into crime or betrayal. Through their dark themes and visual style, film noirs conveyed a grim and distrustful perspective on human nature and society during troubled postwar times.
Audience and editing migusham
There are two main theories of audiences - active and passive. An active audience interprets media messages through montage editing and brings their own meanings. A passive audience absorbs media like a sponge without selection, depicted through continuity editing. Montage editing uses short shots edited together to advance the narrative and suggest passage of time. The Kuleshov effect showed that identical facial expressions can take on different meanings depending on the shots they are edited with. Different audience theories range from seeing viewers as passive receivers to semi-active opinion leaders to active gratification seekers.

Classic film noir originated after World War II as a way to portray the feelings of fear, mistrust, and despair felt by many at that time. Common themes included alienation, moral corruption, and paranoia. Storylines were often complex with nonlinear narratives, voiceovers, and amnesiac protagonists. Men were typically cynical while women were beautiful yet manipulative femmes fatales. Through use of shadows, smoke, and black and white film, noir created an atmosphere of menace, anxiety, and defeat.
Audience And Editing
There are two main theories of audiences - active and passive. An active audience interprets media messages individually through montage editing, while a passive audience absorbs everything without selection like a sponge through continuity editing. Montage editing uses short shots edited together to advance the narrative, sometimes with music to enhance the mood. The Kuleshov effect showed that editing can create different meanings from the same facial expressions. Audience theories range from seeing viewers as passive receivers affected by media to semi-active models where opinion leaders influence others or individuals choose media to fulfill needs.
