This document evaluates how a student media project challenges conventions of typical thriller/horror films. It compares the project's use of conventions like titling, camerawork, framing, lighting, editing, sound, and narrative structure to well-known films like Se7en. While some conventions like jump cuts and costume colors were used conventionally, the project uniquely used a lullaby for its non-diegetic sound and revealed the villain earlier than expected, challenging thriller norms. The analysis finds the project effectively uses juxtaposition between the innocent lullaby and darker plot involving child victims.
The document discusses creating an opening sequence for a horror film about a teenage girl who is haunted by a ghost in her new home, examining improvements made to build intrigue, the target audience, and narrative and film theories that could apply to the sequence. Plans for film distribution with companies like Lions Gate and Film4 are also mentioned.
The group has decided on the genre of thriller for their opening sequence project. They discussed conventions of the thriller genre such as stalkers, crime, and obsession. Members provided examples of films that inspired them, including aspects of lighting, camera shots, and themes. The group collaborated on ideas and narrowed it down to the theme of revenge and concept of possession. They developed the opening sequence idea, which involves the main character researching ghosts on her computer before strange events occur in her home, leading her to discover information about a previous resident. The sequence aims to create enigma and intrigue for the target audience of 15+ London residents who enjoy thrill and mystery.
We have improved our opening sequence by making the ending faster paced through quick clips that cut swiftly as something unseen approaches the main character. The sequence establishes the main character, a teenager, who begins investigating the history of her new home and encounters increasing paranormal activity that slowly possesses her. This narrative structure fits Todorov's model of starting in equilibrium, disrupting to disequilibrium, and seeking to restore a new equilibrium.

Here are the key things I've learned about technologies from constructing this media product:
- Computers and software like PowerPoint, Google, and iMovie are essential for researching, planning, storyboarding, and editing a media product.
- Cameras, tripods, and photography equipment are necessary for filming scenes and capturing evidence of the production process.
- Storage devices like USBs, cables, and cloud storage are important for transferring files between devices and saving work in progress.
- The internet and platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, and blogs allow sharing work with others and getting feedback throughout the process.
- Presentation technologies like interactive whiteboards are useful for collaboratively planning, reviewing work, and pitching
This document provides an overview, locations, structure, characters, and production details for a psychological thriller film about a college student who develops an obsession with a female classmate. The story follows the male character as he steals her keys to break into her home and take personal items. It aims to unsettle viewers by showing the student's increasingly disturbing behavior and manipulating perceptions of danger. Production elements like lighting, costumes, and camerawork will help convey the unbalanced mindset of the obsessed character.
The target audience found that beginning the opening sequence with a dialogue between the two girls and having the sequence take place at the character's home was suitable. They felt slow music would work well with the shots and that exploring bulimia could make for a compelling drama opening. However, some felt more enigma could be built at the end of the sequence to leave them wanting more.
Here are potential responses to the evaluation questions:
1. In progressing from the preliminary task to the full product, we've gained valuable experience developing our story and creative vision. We've improved our skills in areas like scriptwriting, shot composition, sound design, and working as a team.
2. Our opening sequence utilized conventions of drama films through techniques like suspenseful music, ambiguous endings, and close-ups to convey emotion. At the same time, we experimented with unconventional elements like the mysterious final shot to challenge expectations.
3. We aimed to attract a mature audience interested in thought-provoking drama by crafting a sequence that builds intrigue through subtle clues and leaves many questions unanswered.
The document provides character descriptions for Melane, a girl who thinks she is too fat and wants to lose weight by any means, and her friend Aurora, who is always with Melane
A girl develops bulimia after going on a diet to lose weight and get into university, she begins binge eating and purging to prevent weight gain which damages her health, and she eventually seeks help from her doctor and is accepted into her first choice university.
The document outlines ideas for drama narratives focusing on emotional themes and characters dealing with conflicts. It discusses genres of drama such as crime drama, historical drama, tragedy, and comedy-drama.
It then provides ideas from four individuals. Vanessa's strongest idea involves a relationship dilemma between choosing a friend or lover. Andreea's strongest idea is about a girl who undergoes risky cosmetic surgery to get drug implants. Anna's strongest idea follows a girl developing an eating disorder. Delia's strongest idea has a girl waking up after a party and dealing with an unplanned pregnancy.
The target audience for the film is 15-30 year olds as eating disorders typically affect this age group. Most audience members felt the idea of a model struggling with bulimia for a drama was good. All audience members enjoyed how the opening sequence built mystery by ending with the main character on a bridge.
Here are my thoughts on your questions:
1. Using a story of a model in the opening sequence could work well as it establishes a character dealing with pressures of that profession. However, you'll want to be sensitive in your portrayal of eating disorders.
2. The locations seem suitable as they show the character's daily life and movements. Putney Bridge in particular builds tension as a location for her mental state.
3. Slow, emotional music could work well to set the tone and highlight the character's internal struggles.
4. Good drama explores complex human emotions and relationships in a way audiences can relate to. It leaves them thinking.
5. Exploring bulimia in models could raise awareness if handled
The document discusses various genres and subgenres of drama including comedy-drama, historical drama, romance, crime drama, and tragedy. It also lists some common themes in drama such as alcoholism, class division, drug addiction, violence against women, and corruption.
The document provides details on the opening sequence for a short film about a teenage girl struggling with body image issues. It includes:
1) A description of a scene where the girl compares her body to magazine models in the bathroom that shows her in her underwear from the back.
2) Details on the music choice - dramatic music during her walk home and a high bass sound as she enters the bathroom to build intrigue.
3) Confirmation that the content meets BBFC 15 rating standards around themes of discrimination, drugs, horror, imitable behavior, language, nudity, sexual activity, and violence.
Here are the interviews I conducted with potential target audiences for feedback on the opening sequence:
1. Catalin Nastasia, 18, Male, Romania
2. Rebecca Dan, 22, Female, UK
3. Andrei Popescu, 25, Male, Romania
4. Maria Vasilescu, 19, Female, Romania
5. Alexandra Ionescu, 21, Female, Romania
I've included a picture of Catalin and a short video of Rebecca answering some of the questionnaire questions. Let me know if you need any other details from the interviews. Getting feedback from the target audience will help ensure the opening sequence resonates and intrigues them.
The document provides a summary of the opening sequence of a film about a model named Melanie who struggles with body image and bulimia. The sequence shows Melanie rejecting an invitation to eat with a friend after school. At home, she looks at magazines, takes off her clothes, and examines her body in the mirror critically. She then makes herself vomit in the bathroom and tries to drown herself in the bath.
The group selected Andreea's idea about a girl who gets breast implants from a drug trafficker as the strongest idea. The implants are used to smuggle drugs without her knowledge. When she discovers the truth, she seeks revenge but falls ill. Anna's idea about a girl developing an eating disorder from body image issues was also considered strong for its dramatic narrative elements.
The Exorcist tells the story of a teenage girl who becomes possessed by a mysterious entity, causing her mother to seek help from two priests to save her daughter. Final Destination 5 follows survivors of a bridge collapse who learn there is no escaping Death. The Ring centers around a journalist investigating a mysterious videotape that seems to cause death within a week of viewing.
