This document discusses the use of narrative in teaser trailers. It explains that the teaser trailer uses montage editing and non-linear storytelling to fit more content into a short time and make the trailer more intriguing. It aims to create a restricted narrative that leaves things unknown to entice viewers to watch the full movie. The document also discusses theories on how plot differs from story in presenting events explicitly versus implicitly, and how enigmas can control audience thought by presenting puzzles to solve. In conclusion, narrative is important for both full films and teaser trailers to give meaning and engage audiences.

Narrative powerpoint media
The document discusses narrative structures in film trailers. It analyzes the narration of the author's teaser trailer, which uses an inferred nonlinear narrative to show a person being bullied over time through their online diary entries. This leaves the audience with puzzles around how the character will seek "revenge" by the end. The purpose of teaser trailers is achieved through this open-ended cliffhanger structure.
Narrative hw
Our teaser trailer used a nonlinear narrative through montage and flashbacks to hint at the deteriorating state of mind of a bullying victim. Scenes of the victim being surrounded and pushed by peers implied the theme of bullying, while shots of him on social media looking at his bully's pages inferred a desire for revenge. The trailer did not show whether or how the victim gets revenge, leaving questions unanswered - an example of an enigma code used to engage audiences. By restricting details and leaving the narrative open-ended, the teaser accomplished its goal of piquing interest without fully revealing the story.
Evaluation
The document discusses the evaluation of a group film project called "The Crook." It is a crime drama. Originally the group planned the trailer as a mind map and decided it needed at least one chase scene to add excitement and suspense. Camera angles like over the shoulder shots were used to not reveal the killer while still showing the scene. Close ups of feet were used so no one knew the character was the killer. Research helped with ideas for the trailer and learning the target audience of ages 12 and up who would enjoy the action. Editing feedback suggested making titles longer to read and adding sound effects.
Documentaries- Human Behaviour
The document discusses techniques used in documentary films like Educating Yorkshire and Don't Tell the Bride. It explains that over-the-shoulder shots in Educating Yorkshire are used to identify who teachers are addressing and show control. Voiceovers are also common to move scenes along without a presenter. Direct address, where characters speak to the camera, helps audiences relate to characters and understand points of view. Establishing shots set the scene and location to involve viewers in guessing what might happen.
Media language in short film
The document discusses Stuart Hall's theory of encoding and decoding media messages and analyzes how a short thriller film effectively applies this theory through its single-shot camerawork, minimal editing, meaningful mise-en-scene details, and purposeful sound design. These technical elements allow the director to encode subtle clues that help audiences decode key aspects of the story and characters, thereby enhancing viewer engagement and the overall experience of watching the film.
Crime Documentaries
This document summarizes techniques used in two crime documentaries - "Tales of the Grim Sleeper" and "Ross Kemp on Gangs". It discusses the use of aerial shots, direct address, CCTV footage, establishing shots, and over-the-shoulder shots. The document considers how these techniques create realism, audience interaction, tension, and a sense of authority. It reflects on incorporating some of these techniques into the filmmaker's own documentary.
Flashbacks and flash forwards
This document discusses and provides examples of flashbacks and flash forwards. Flashbacks show events that occurred prior to the main narrative, while flash forwards show events that happen after. Both are used to provide context, develop characters, and add structure or suspense to the story. Different techniques like editing, aging characters, or text can be used to make it clear to the audience which type of sequence they are watching.
Source code
This document provides analysis of several shots from a film. It summarizes the location, camera angles, and purpose of several scenes:
1) An establishing shot uses a high angle to show the entire cityscape, setting the modern urban location.
2) A high angle shot of a train helps viewers understand where the story is set and what the surrounding town is like.
3) A close-up of a character on a train is the first view of a main character and aims to start connecting the audience to this character.

The document discusses 5 screenshots from a film. The first screenshot shows a wooded area that sets the scene for the film and shows the characters shooting a deer. The second screenshot shows a conversation between a father and son about the weather that relates to the mood and enhances the thriller genre. The third screenshot shows a cross in the background that foreshadows death, with the blurred family hinting something will happen to them. The fourth screenshot is an extreme long shot of the family walking from a distance, also potentially foreshadowing the ending. The fifth screenshot shows the family from the point of view of someone looking through a caravan, suggesting something will happen between the observer and family, building suspense through conventions of the thriller genre
Film poster planning ideas
The document discusses ideas for designing a movie poster for a slasher/torture film. It suggests including a close-up shot of the killer in the basement to set the location, and featuring some victims or the "final girl" to show the killer's motives. The killer should be depicted as dangerous and determined. Type styles like slashed or dripping fonts are recommended for the title to suit the genre. Black and white with elements of red could create an ominous tone that draws in audiences.
That thing Analysis
This documentary uses a mix of interviews and narration to examine the portrayal of women in media and how they are perceived versus reality. It has a closed structure that answers all audience questions in a non-linear, single-threaded format that jumps back and forth. Interview subjects are filmed in mid-close up or close up shots to follow the rule of thirds, and point-of-view shots, tracking shots, and handheld camerawork are used. Chromakey, front projection, music, voiceover, editing, and archive footage like game play and magazine covers help explore the topic. Lower third graphics identify interviewees and their relevance.
The Collection
The document discusses how movie trailers provide information to viewers about a film's release date, characters, and genre. Trailers commonly reveal the release season or year, introduce main characters in medium close ups, and give glimpses of action scenes and weapons to indicate genres like thriller or horror. Trailers also display text to inform viewers about the writers or director and provide brief descriptions of the plot.
Conventions of short films
A short film is defined as a movie with a duration that makes it distinct from a feature-length film. Short films typically only include 2-3 characters to allow for their quick establishment and understanding by the audience. Character theories, such as Goffman's, categorize characters into protagonist, secondary character, minor character, and comedic character roles. Most short films also contain a plot twist to make the story more interesting. Short films usually have low budgets, so they keep costs minimal through limited characters, locations, and sometimes unpaid acting. An engaging storyline can be developed even in an ordinary setting. Narrative theories, like Tzvetan Todorov's concept of equilibrium, conflict, and resolution, are also applicable
The pitch
The document proposes a horror film trailer that would appeal to Paramount Pictures. It follows horror film conventions like having teens go camping in the woods, where one girl is attacked. The trailer would use conventions like low-key lighting, diegetic sounds, and fast pacing to build tension. It aims to attract Paramount's target audience by using familiar tropes like isolated settings and relatable teen characters. Camerawork like close-ups would show emotions to connect with viewers. Overall, adhering to genre conventions around suspense, darkness and likable protagonists is meant to grip audiences and encourage them to watch the full film.
Teaser trailers
The document discusses the purpose and differences between teaser and full movie trailers. A teaser trailer is under 2 minutes and aims to grab attention without revealing plot details, while a full trailer introduces characters and more scenes from the film. The teaser for the example movie shows very little and does not properly reveal characters, whereas the full trailer announces actors and more clearly shown scenes. The teaser represents a dystopian setting caused by humanity, and has a third-party narrator unlike the character narration in the full trailer. The genre of the movie is identified from the teaser as a hybrid of fantasy, sci-fi, drama, action and adventure, set in an alternate 1930s era. The film seems aimed
Techniques I like

These include establishing shots to set the scene and atmosphere, as well as a small plot twist at the end to entice audiences to watch more. Focus pulls and dolly zooms are also discussed to hide/reveal details and emphasize emotions. In conclusion, the author believes incorporating these researched techniques will help them create an intriguing opening that sets up the thriller conventions and narrative.
Codes and conventions of Short Film
Short films are typically between 3 to 30 minutes in length. They have simple, easy to follow storylines that take place over a short period of time with limited dialogue. Short films generally have 1 to 3 main characters to avoid lengthy backstories and allow audiences to relate more easily. While not essential, short films commonly include a plot twist to engage audiences in an interesting, creative way. Due to their independent nature and limited resources, short films typically have low budgets that stick to one or two locations and a small cast, giving the films an arty feel. Short films appeal to a niche audience because of their creative formats, brevity, and lesser known nature compared to feature films.
Opening Sequence Analysis- The Shining
The document provides an analysis of the opening sequence of the film The Shining. It discusses how the narrative is set up through the title sequence and establishing shots that introduce the isolated setting. Characters are kept mysterious through a focus on their vehicle. The thriller genre and dark themes are communicated through the ominous soundtrack. Mise-en-scene elements like the rural setting and camera angles represent the people and events as sinister and mysterious.
Short film analysis 2
This short documentary film uses the items people carry in their pockets to tell stories about who they are.

The editing uses straightforward cuts between each scene. There is a non-diegetic soundtrack and some diegetic dialogue. Analyzing this film helps the document author plan their own productions by understanding different shot types and narratives.
Thriller convention presentation
Thriller films often follow certain conventions in their openings. The openings may establish the protagonist and their role or a key aspect of the plot like a police investigation. While the opening events are not the main event, they are used to intrigue audiences and trigger a series of events. An air of mystery is usually portrayed through withholding key details from audiences. Technical elements like long shots, lighting, and editing are also used strategically in openings to set the scene without revealing crucial information.
Se7en
This document analyzes the camera techniques, sound, titles, and conventions used in the opening titles sequence of the film Se7en. It discusses how the bird's eye view camera angle shows a detective's folder of sketched hands. Close-ups give details like a battered hand holding a blade, indicating danger. Changing camera angles create confusion around blurred words on paper. A point-of-view shot makes the audience feel like they are looking at an object. The creepy sound design builds tension.

Unit 11 analysis of scripts
The document summarizes and compares the format, content, narrative structure, genre, and target audience of four different media scripts: radio drama, news broadcast, short film, and TV comedy sketch. The radio drama script focuses on dialogue and sound effects with informal language. The news broadcast script is brief and factual. The short film follows a linear story from beginning to end. And the comedy sketch uses silly humor and sci-fi elements to make its audience laugh.
Feature story and narration vox pops
This document provides an overview of key concepts for writing feature stories and conducting interviews for video production, including:
- Vox pops are interviews with people on the street to get general public views on a topic. Brief, open-ended questions are best. Shots should make interviewees feel comfortable.
- Sound bytes are short clips extracted from longer interviews to tell a story. Cutaways help cover jumps between bytes.
- Feature stories are human interest pieces that tell narratives, not just facts. They bring topics to life with descriptive details.
- Narration refers to how a story is told. First person uses "I"; third person narrators are outside the story, knowing some or all
Thriller Research - Bourne ultimatum - Farzeen
The opening sequence of The Bourne Ultimatum uses several conventions of the thriller genre and effective opening sequences. It begins with a tense scene of the protagonist on the run from police in a foreign setting. Fast-paced editing, music, and flashbacks create mystery and confusion for the audience about what is happening. Clues like blood on the protagonist and his possession of a gun at the end shift the power dynamics and intrigue the audience to learn more. Overall, the sequence sets up mystery and danger for the protagonist through typical thriller techniques.
Evaluation – question 3
The document discusses feedback on a film trailer:
- The trailer used "Enigma Codes" to keep the audience guessing about the plot and what the antagonist intends. However, some felt it was missing scenes to emphasize the actual plot.
- Feedback from the target 16-18 age group audience suggested adding more scenes and characters to better explain the plot, as most horror films have larger casts beyond the three main characters featured.
- Overall the trailer was well-received for its special effects, scene transitions, and story build-up, though it could be improved with more dialogue and character/relationship development to hold audience interest.

Genre powerpoint
Genre is a useful tool when creating media works as it helps follow conventions and determine appropriate ideas and concepts. For example, watching teaser trailers of the same genre as the one being created was helpful for deciding on narrative, plot, representations, and other elements. Genres both repeat conventions but also allow for differences - the basic ideas are the same but plots and details can vary. Elements like setting, characters, narrative, iconography, and style provide a framework for evaluating how well a work fits its genre. Referencing other works in the same genre helped in creating a teaser trailer, magazine cover, and poster that clearly fit the conventions of their genre.

Meeting 4 presentation eddy mc dowall
This document summarizes recent UK policy changes and their implications for volunteering and the voluntary sector. Key policies discussed include the Big Society initiative, the Localism Act of 2011, and the Health and Social Care Act of 2012. These policies aim to decentralize decision making and encourage community involvement in public services. They also create opportunities for voluntary organizations to deliver services and take over community assets. However, the sector also faces challenges from funding cuts and an increased business focus required to win contracts under the new system.

Frontline would be the most appropriate magazine distributor. [1] Frontline distributes over 160 magazine titles, including 58 of the top 200 best selling magazines in the UK. [2] They distribute to over 55,000 retail outlets, including major supermarkets where the target audience shops. [3] Frontline is the largest distributor in the UK and distributes magazines to wholesalers who then distribute further to retailers, making it likely they could distribute the magazine widely.

The document advocates for community health champions as a way to address health inequalities through peer-to-peer support and motivation.
Question 1 evalutaion powerpoint
The media product uses and develops conventions of real teaser trailers and posters. The teaser trailer uses fast-paced editing with brief shots that cut abruptly and follow the nonlinear chronological style of action thrillers. While it contains less dialogue than some due to voice issues, the music incorporates layers and bangs that work well. Both the teaser trailer and poster employ close-up character images and draw from colors/textures of their genres' real examples to adhere to common conventions.

Codes & conventions of short films
Short films are typically 5-10 minutes long, with 35 minutes being the maximum length. They aim to tell a story quickly and keep the number of characters low, usually 1-3 people, to avoid complications. The narrative is condensed and gets straight to the action, often taking an everyday scenario and twisting it. Most short films end with a twist or cliffhanger instead of a clear resolution due to their short duration. They are typically low-budget, independent productions shown at film festivals rather than mainstream cinemas. Narrative theories like Barthes' hermeneutic codes around suspense are often employed to engage audiences within the short time frame.

- 2. The usefulness of narrative Narrative can be defined as the story that is being told and the way in which that story is told, i.e. the techniques used. In our teaser trailer we used montage editing, as most teaser trailers do, to fit a lot about the film and a lot of story hints in a short space of time. The shots jumped around and jumped from clip to clip so we could fit a lot of different shots in the one minute teaser trailer. This also makes it look more interesting to the audience and gives the viewers more hints about what the film could be about and the genre it is. Our teaser trailer is also non-linear, meaning it is out of time order, this is because we wanted the clips to jump around and for the audience to want to see more and so they found it more appealing. We also aimed to create a restricted narrative, so there was still things the audience didn’t know and we implied that by watching the full movie they would find these things out in the hope that this would entice the audience to go and see more.
- 3. Plot, Story and Enigmas Borwell and Thompson’s idea on Plot and Story: • The story is the combination of the entire sequence of events that is shown as well as everything we conclude has happened but may not have been shown, basically everything that was inferred. • The plot is the explicit presentation of events, i.e. the details of the events that are expressed in a clear and obvious way. • Elements of the story are left open to interpretation as we tend to assume things about characters etc. and the plot is occasionally left open, like in Inception for example in order to make you think about how it could end and other possible endings. Barthes’ idea on Enigmas: • His idea on enigma codes is that it is the images/sequences that control the audience’s thought on what is happening and that information can be held off to make the audience want to know what’s happening. They present puzzles to the viewers that need to be solved, and they can be both minor and major.
- 4. Conclusion Toconclude I think that narrative is very important in both full films and teaser trailers as without it it would just be a series of shots without any meaning. The plot and narrative make the trailer or film interesting for the audience and make them want to watch more, without the narrative, a plot or a storyline films would be very boring.
