Léa
Two women stand in a field discussing a woman named Lea who has escaped from an asylum. Flashbacks show Lea's traumatic memories and her escape. She flees down the asylum corridors as the two women follow at a walking pace. Lea escapes into the field, and the women do not pursue her further. The story then shows Lea's unconscious body lying in a forest, where she begins to wake up. The setting involves a forest where Lea's body will be found, a school field representing the area where the two women stand initially, and parts of the school representing both the asylum corridors and Lea's cell.
Individual pitch
Two friends are listening to music in a field when one is suddenly dragged away by an unknown assailant and thrown into a van. The other friend chases after the van screaming. The scene then cuts inside the van where the man takes off his mask, preparing to reveal his face before the screen cuts to black, leaving the audience in suspense.
Thriller Opening Pitch
The document proposes a psychological thriller opening involving a 16-year-old girl who wakes up in a forest in torn clothes with cuts and scrapes. She is disoriented and hears whispers in her head, suggesting she has a mental illness. As she walks through the forest, she sees objects like a needle that trigger memories of the previous night, though it is unclear if the memories are real or imagined. The opening ends by her remembering jumping off a building, though she is still alive, leaving the audience with an enigma.
Re do pp location notes
This document provides details about scenes from a location report for a film studies coursework project analyzing the horror films The Woman in Black and Fright Night. It describes three scenes involving two protagonists, Anna and Wendy, walking through a wooded area after school. The first scene shows them having a conversation outside their school with different camera shots. The second scene continues their conversation down a pathway with tense music. In the third scene, Anna is unsure of which way to go at a fork, frustrating Wendy, before Anna drags her down a dead-end path to an abandoned horse stable where they become scared and isolated in the dark.
Vertigo analysis
The document analyzes the opening title sequence of the film Vertigo. It describes 7 shots that zoom in on a woman's face and eyes, showing no emotion at first but then fear as her eyes dart around. The sixth shot turns red and shows the movie title "Vertigo" emerging from her eye. The seventh shot features a spiral illusion emerging from her eye, suggesting hallucinations. The remaining shots continue illusory spirals that may represent eyes.
Film Poster Analysis
The document analyzes three posters for the film "Man on Fire." Poster 1 depicts the main characters and symbolizes their relationship, with fire and smoke representing the film's beginning and ending. Poster 2 focuses on the lead character, showing him emerging from flames to suggest his journey through fire. Poster 3 uses red and black colors and an image of fire, but these are not felt to be very significant representations of the film.

The headline of the clipping left behind reveals that the girl had killed her boyfriend during an argument.
Timeline for my horror film
1) The film opens with a girl realizing she is being followed by a mysterious dark figure in a rundown town where she is alone.
2) She tries to run away but the figure keeps pace with her. She hides in an alley but then finds her friend, relieved but still worried about being followed.
3) After hearing her friend scream, she runs away in a panic until bumping into a stranger. Though thinking it's the killer, she continues running with only her breathing heard between non-diegetic sounds.
Question 5
The document contains the results of a survey asking people ages 12 and above what they would like to see in a horror/thriller film. The survey received responses from 5 people with ages ranging from 12 to 45 years old. Common responses included suspenseful music, dark lighting, scary characters, plot twists, and films set in old houses. In response to the survey, the filmmakers incorporated many of these elements into their horror film, such as using ambient lighting, including an evil antagonist, adding a suspenseful soundtrack, including a plot twist, and setting part of the film in an old house.
The location and characters for our final task
The document describes three locations and three characters for a thriller film project by a student group. Location 1 is an empty hallway that will be used at the beginning to create mystery. Location 2 is a drama studio where three characters will discuss mysterious dreams. Character 1, Jess, has a premonition of a girl running in a hallway. Character 2, Ellie, has nightmares of the same and feels distressed. Character 3, Charlotte, disagrees with them until having a premonition herself at the end, leaving the audience with confusion.
Poster 1
The poster depicts the main protagonist standing strong against a dark backdrop, indicating she will play a crucial role in the sequel's plot. The date at the bottom is prominently displayed to clearly show the release date. The color scheme of red, brown, orange and yellow hints at a darker, action-adventure theme involving an epic fight for survival. The textured, drawn appearance of the poster suggests an artistic, creative movie where the heroine battles forces in a corrupt world. The small but brightly colored logo catches the eye and identifies the film as part of The Hunger Games franchise.
Group Pitch - Omitted
The document outlines a plot for either a horror or thriller film about a missing girl. It describes settings like a dark forest and a police investigation room. It provides example shots like tracking shots of the girl walking in the forest and close-ups of missing posters. It also lists costume ideas like a child's night dress and props like a teddy bear and missing posters. Sound ideas include a music box for horror and a ticking clock for thriller. The storyboard sketches shots of a stalker's room with evidence pinned to the wall and shots following the girl in the forest at night.
Question 3
This document considers potential media institutions and production companies that might be interested in distributing or producing the film described in the opening sequence. It suggests that the British writer and director James Watkins or director Danny Boyle may be interested in distributing the film due to their work in supernatural/horror genres and preference for films with plot twists. It also proposes that the Finnish production company Vertigo Productions or American company Blumhouse Productions may be interested in producing the film, as they have experience with independent and horror films respectively.
Film opening 22
The proposed film opening would begin with slow shots of a dark, lonely woods to set the ominous tone. Sounds of chopping and heavy breathing would be heard. The camera would then track a bloody trail leading to a figure holding a hammer, covered in blood. Close-ups would show his weapon and tattoos before a POV shot of him staring down at a body. An extreme close-up would zoom into his eye, with text saying "24 hours earlier". The next shots would show this character in a bathroom, receiving a call about going deer hunting in the woods while packing a large bag. The opening would then show two characters journeying into the deep, dark woods.
What i had learnt opening sequences
Opening sequences set the tone and provide context for the genre and story. Thrillers often start with low-key lighting to build tension, while comedies establish the setting and introduce characters with high-key lighting. Films also use iconic images that signal the genre to viewers. The openings provide insights into the plot and climax near the end to engage the audience and make them want to see how their initial questions are resolved. Learning these conventions will help in creating an effective opening sequence for a thriller film that sets the scene and builds suspense.
Codes and conventions
This document provides an analysis of codes and conventions used in short films. It summarizes two short films:
1) "Hallucination" - A film about a blonde girl experiencing hallucinations of a dark-haired girl. Various shots and sounds are used to create tension and reveal that the dark-haired girl was actually hallucinating the blonde girl, suggesting she has schizophrenia.
2) "Seen" - Opens with a close-up of a boy shocked through a telescope. As he runs away in panic, intense sounds build suspense. Shots follow the boy returning home and focusing between him and the telescope to hint at an unseen threat.
Style model
This document analyzes and summarizes 5 shots from the film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. For each shot, the document discusses what makes the shot interesting and effective. Some key points made are that mystery is created through limited views of characters, the revelation of important information, changes in perspective between shots, and the contrast of emotions between characters. Analyzing these shots provides insight into the film's genre of mystery/drama and pulls the viewer in to want to understand more of the story.

Multiple films employ techniques like never revealing the killer's identity, limited dialogue, timers adding a sense of urgency, and flashbacks to enhance the thriller and mysterious elements of the stories.
Opening sequence analysis
The document provides an analysis of the opening sequences of the films "Seven" and "The Ring". It examines various film techniques used such as camera work, editing, sound, and visual elements. In "Seven", the opening scene focuses on a character cutting off their fingerprints, setting up the crime element. Shaky fonts mirror the psychotic mindset. In "The Ring", tension is built as the main character hesitantly approaches a door, with zooms and close-ups capturing her fear over what lies beyond. Unusual drawings by a child also reference the film's title and plot.
Jennifer’s body film opening
The opening of Jennifer's Body establishes several key themes through its cinematography and soundtrack. It begins with a tracking shot at night in a garden that sets an ominous tone. Close-ups of a girl's face and a shot of her bedroom provide clues about her feminine but rebellious personality. Another girl watches angrily from outside the window, hinting at jealousy. Later shots reveal the watcher is in a mental institution, suggesting she has uncontrollable rage and may be imprisoned for harming others. The opening uses visuals and audio to immerse the viewer in the film's themes of danger, sexuality, and the turmoil of teenage life.
Student Example Analysis
The document analyzes techniques used in six short films:
1. Behind the Net Curtains uses a red herring, conceals the killer's identity, and close-ups of gruesome details to mislead the audience.
2. Deadline uses a timer, limited dialogue, and focuses on one character to create mystery and tension.
3. The Witness uses disorienting shots, low lighting, and conceals the criminals' faces to seem dark and suspicious.
4. Outspoken reverses the beginning, uses drug indicators and an unexplained location to add confusion.
5. The Therapist uses slow motion, flashbacks, and conceals the killer's face

1. Behind the Net Curtains uses a red herring, concealing the killer's identity, and close-ups of gruesome details to build mystery.
2. Deadline uses a timer and limited dialogue to create a sense of urgency and confusion. Tracking shots and an unseen killer add to the mystery.
3. The Witness uses a video camera style, shot/reverse shots, low lighting, and costumes to seem dark, isolated, and make the criminals mysterious.
4. Outspoken reverses and uses over the shoulder shots, credits on paper, and indicators of drug use to seem confusing and make characters seem suspicious
Thriller Analysis
The document analyzes the shower scene from Psycho (1960) and the opening sequence of The Sixth Sense (1999). For Psycho, it discusses how the black and white filming, lack of dialogue, camera angles, editing, music, and sounds are used to build suspense and tension during the iconic shower scene murder. For The Sixth Sense, it examines how the opening credits, lighting, costumes, camera shots, composition, editing, eye-line matching, zooming, and music/sounds are employed to introduce the characters and setting while hinting at mystery and threat.
Individual pitch
Two friends are listening to music in a field when one is suddenly dragged away by an unseen assailant and thrown into a van. The other friend gives chase but is too late. The opening ends with a shot inside the van of the man laughing maniacally before the screen cuts to black, leaving the audience with questions.
Two women stand in a field, discussing how "she's" escaped from an asylum. Flashes show the escape, with the women pursuing but not urgently. The protagonist Lea lies in the forest, alive after supposedly dying. The opening leaves the audience intrigued about Lea's backstory and pursuit.
A young girl wakes in a forest after an unknown event, wearing
Butterfly effect
The opening scene of the film establishes mystery and suspense. Non-diegetic sounds and references to chaos theory hint that small events will have major consequences. Tracking shots show an uneasy character hiding from unseen pursuers under low-key lighting, leaving his identity and location ambiguous. As he writes a note saying he will die, the audience learns he is a victim trying to save someone. Shots of the character and the sounds of pursuers increase tension as the audience wonders what led to this point. The film targets science fiction and thriller fans by presenting an intelligent story about the butterfly effect.
Jennifer’s body film opening
The opening of Jennifer's Body establishes several key themes through its cinematography and soundtrack. It begins with a tracking shot at night in a garden, setting a creepy tone. Close-ups of a girl's face emphasize beauty. Shots reveal a stalker peering into the girl's bedroom. A voiceover says "Hell is a teenage girl," linking the film's themes of hell and teenagers. The opening sequence introduces the protagonist and hints she may have done something bad through her references to "fans" and needing to "accept Jesus." It establishes the piece will address teenage desires and relationships through its lens of horror.
Choices in Task Inspiration
The document outlines a student's choice to create a short horror film for their final school project. They chose an indirect narrative horror film, which will be challenging. Their ancillary task will be a film review and Photoshop images. They cite the films Session 9 and The Shining as inspirations for psychological elements and lack of predictability. The genre is described as psychological/thriller horror. A synopsis provides details of the plot involving a murderer being tormented by the ghost of a victim. Locations, actors, and equipment needs are listed. Unique aspects include using a security system to make the audience feel watched like the protagonist.
Sixth sense
The opening sequence of The Sixth Sense uses various cinematic techniques to set up expectations for the film's paranormal themes. A woman is shown alone in a dark basement, dressed nicely, lit in a way that makes her stand out, suggesting she is in danger from something unseen. Unusual camera angles and a tracking shot imply she is being watched without knowing it. The soundtrack starts quietly and builds tension with changes in pace and rhythm. These visual and audio elements combine to create an eerie atmosphere and sense of uncertainty about what may happen.

Synopsis
The document provides a draft synopsis and revisions for a thriller story about three friends, Sophie, Ana and Bella, who find a mysterious game. They decide to play it, which subjects them to dangerous challenges and tasks. Their friendship is tested as the game escalates and they are forced to decide which of the three will die. Increasing tension and conflict leads to Ana stabbing and killing Bella. The girls are then returned to before finding the game, and never speak to each other again.
Initial film ideas
This document contains initial ideas for short films, including brief summaries and notes on the pros and cons of each idea. The first story is about a game that follows a girl and her friend, putting them in dangerous situations. The second is about a woman who wakes up in a room with no memory. A third involves a girl who thinks she can see another girl in the park driving her crazy. A fourth is about kids given tasks on a dream-like day in the city. A fifth is about kids disappearing from a strange house. The last is about best friends trying to poison themselves and take the other's identity. The document considers the production requirements like locations, actors, and challenges for each idea.
thriller codes and conventions
Thriller films employ certain camera angles, shots, editing techniques, lighting, sound, and mise-en-scene elements to create suspense and tension. Low camera angles convey power and superiority, while high angles show vulnerability. Close-up shots allow more emotion to be conveyed. Quick cuts and changing camera angles in editing disorient the viewer. Low key lighting and intense music build drama and unease. Props like mirrors and stairs symbolize themes of power, challenge, and reflection in mise-en-scene. These techniques aim to keep the audience in suspense and lead to an unexpected climax.
1 min video Evaluation
The student used iMovie to join video clips, remove the original sound and add background music converted from a YouTube video. Transitions between clips included fades, and titles were added using VideoLeap with transitions and fading. The second half of the video was made slower, and a black background was added to the title with softness and lowered opacity for visibility.
Inspirational movie codes and conventions
The man enters a store where the owner strangely warns him against buying a strange jigsaw puzzle that will "always find its way back." On his drive home in the dark, unsettling music plays on the radio. That night, as the man completes the puzzle, a zoom reveals the final image is of a man behind him, ready to murder him. Various shots are used to build suspense and paranoia throughout the man's experiences.
Preliminary work
A girl wakes up alone in a house with no memory of how she got there. She finds fingerprints on her neck and hears voices saying "you must die." As she investigates, she discovers flashbacks and notes indicating people were looking for her to make her disappear for who she is. A message appears on her arm saying "I will kill you" as she starts to remember her past and hear threatening voices. Fearing they will find her secret, she runs to the balcony and decides to jump off.
school magazine
The document summarizes the design choices made for a school magazine cover, content page, and double spread. For the cover, warm colors like red, blue, and yellow were used along with a childish font to attract a younger audience. The image on the cover represents community and fun. The content page uses similar colors to create continuity and a pleasant feeling when opening the magazine. Basic fonts were used to avoid visual distress from multiple fonts. The double spread continues the same color scheme and uses a basic font for easy readability, featuring an interview that could interest viewers.
Presentation 3
The document discusses a photoshoot for a magazine cover page and content. It notes preparation for the shoot included considering the position and representation of the photos. For the cover, a close-up was used to emphasize facial expressions and add focus, showing mystery as the full picture isn't seen. Details on the chosen photos, layout, and initial topic ideas are also provided.
