Stereotypical conventions of a horror film
This document outlines many common conventions used in horror films, including unsettling sound effects and music, narratives that disrupt an initial sense of peace or normality, low lighting for villains and high key lighting for female leads, editing techniques like jump cuts during chase scenes, character archetypes like the damsel in distress and heroic failure, camera angles like low angles to emphasize terror, makeup and props like blood and knives, isolated and dark locations, and costumes that identify villains or make victims look vulnerable.
Media narrative
The document provides a narrative and comparison of two short films - "Penny's Drop" and "He Dies at the End". Both films establish confined, isolated settings through the use of establishing shots. They utilize point-of-view camera work and editing in black-and-white to build tension without dialogue. The narratives focus on male protagonists in abandoned or isolated areas who encounter an unseen threat, culminating in a shocking ending that leaves the audience startled.
The conjuring opening sequence textual analysis
The opening sequence of the film The Conjuring establishes the time period of 1971 through costumes and decor of the farmhouse. Low-key lighting and unsettling music build tension.

The sequence effectively sets up an atmosphere of fear and unease through its use of lighting, sound, camera work and symbolic images.
Props and customs list
The document provides costume and prop suggestions for a film production. The main character will wear a blue shirt, black jumper, black trousers, and black shoes to symbolize sadness, gloom, and loneliness. Extras should wear dark colored costumes, though some may combine dark and bright colors. One extra will start a rebellion, wearing a grey hoodie to represent indecisiveness. Masks in different colors will symbolize the few acceptable personalities in society. Books are also listed as props for a classroom scene.
The grudge
The document provides an analysis of the opening sequence of the horror film "The Grudge". It summarizes the key elements of the sequence in the following ways:
1) The storyline of "The Grudge" involves a curse that is born when someone dies in anger or sorrow, and the curse kills those who encounter it and is passed from victim to victim.
2) The genre is supernatural horror, set in Japan where traditional elements like sleeping on blankets and sliding doors are shown.
3) Sounds like wind, creaking, and eerie music are used to set a creepy tone that hints at the horror genre. Camera angles and editing with titles also convey a sense of fear and suspense.

Se7en and Casino Royale. For Se7en, the title sequence uses dark lighting, suspenseful music, and montages of cryptic objects to set a mysterious and tense mood without revealing details of the plot or location.

Film noir[1]
Film noir settings typically feature urban cities with tall buildings that look threatening, as well as dark alleys where secrets can be hidden. The genre also relies heavily on nighttime scenes to create a mysterious and threatening atmosphere accentuated by dark shadows.

Horror powerpoint
This document discusses common genre conventions in horror films. It notes that horror films are often set in normal, everyday locations like family homes to make the story more relatable to viewers.

Costumes typically use dark colors and reflect the characters and time period. Important props relate to everyday items but take on new significance, like dolls or books. Lighting is usually very dark to create mystery, and main characters are important to generate fear for the audience as the crisis unfolds

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
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.

Pitch
- 1. THE ROOM SOME DOORS ARE MEANT TO BE KEPT CLOSED
- 2. STORYLINE – The story begins with a girl, left home alone in her room. She feels a presence , followed by unfamiliar noises and shadows moving throughout the room. When attempting to escape, she goes through the door, only for it to lead to the same room, with the same monster.
- 3. CHARACTERS - Main character – 16 yr/old, female - Main Protagonist - Casual clothing - Actor: Jessica Cotton Antagonist - Monster - Dark shadow - Dark costume design
- 4. LOCATION - The film will be set in only one location. We’ve decided to choose a girls bedroom, as it realistically reflects our characters lifestyle.
- 5. FORM - Narrative techniques Camera work – Low camera angles to begin with then higher angles at climax to create sense of power shift. Close up shots to create tension through detail. Colour correction – reduced brightness to create fear factor and shadows. Draws attention to the light. Sound – beginning starts off focused on diegetic sounds and sound effects, for example, a door creaking. As tension builds non diegetic sounds build. At the climax a loud non diegetic sound shocks the viewers.
- 6. STYLE - We will be using many wide shots to show off the small environment that the girl is trapped in to create the sense of claustrophobia and create tension in the film. We’re going to use a darker colour pallete to emphasise the use of shadows that the monster creates. The colour scheme used in our short will be mainly black and we will dull down any bright colours to reduce the feeling of comfort
- 7. COST – COSTUMES, PROPS
- 8. PRODUCTION SCHEDULE - October 21st – location recce October 24th – risk assessment October 27th – finish pre production October 29th - filming day October 31st – upload footage and start edit
- 9. QUESTIONS - • How can we edit the girl walking into the same room?
