We used common thriller conventions like low key lighting, quick cuts, tense music, and changing shot angles in our opening sequence. While sticking closely to typical thriller tropes, we subverted some expectations by making the protagonist male and excluding female characters. The sequence ends with a narrative twist, leaving viewers wondering who was on the phone, in order to pique their interest in watching more.

Film comparison with Welcome to the Punch
This document compares conventions from the film "Welcome to the Punch" to the filmmaker's own film "Catalyst." It discusses how shots from "Welcome to the Punch" showing isolation of the protagonist and antagonists were used in scenes in "Catalyst." It also discusses how a shot from "Welcome to the Punch" placing characters in an uncomfortable situation was merged into the climax of "Catalyst." Additionally, the mystery-fueled opening sequence from "Welcome to the Punch" inspired the poster design for "Catalyst" which features the protagonist running down a tunnel.
Planning
The document outlines the production plan for a student film called "Exposed" including the shooting schedule on March 5-9, locations at a local mall, casting, and a storyboard and script for a fight scene between a Russian spy and assassins. Scenes will be filmed outside and inside the mall, including a fight sequence in the back hallways between the main character and two assassins.
Teaser trailer and theatrical trailer
A teaser trailer is between 1-2 minutes and reveals interesting but small parts of a film without giving away the ending. This supports Todorov's theory of creating disequilibrium without showing the return to equilibrium. A theatrical trailer is about 4 minutes and reveals most of the plot and footage from the film but may not be finished editing.
ana 2
The opening sequence of "Men In Black" establishes a mysterious tone through its use of cinematography, editing, and sound. A close-up shot of a fly flying toward stars is intended to raise questions in the audience's mind. The shots change very quickly in a disorienting way. There is no non-diegetic sound except for fast-paced opening music accompanying the fly's flight, furthering the sequence's air of mystery and intrigue and hooking the audience to continue watching.
Conventions
The document discusses conventions of the horror genre that will be utilized in a zombie film trailer. It notes that the storyline of a group surviving a zombie apocalypse is very conventional. Camerawork with a variety of shot types will be used to build tension, as seen in films like Dawn of the Dead. Typical horror film sounds like tense music, ambient screams and zombie noises will be included, as well as changes in music for different scenes. Mise-en-scene elements like low key lighting, abandoned rural locations, and dirty costumes will further conventions of the genre.
Conventions
The document discusses conventions that will be used in a zombie horror film trailer, including storyline, camerawork, sound, and mise-en-scene. The storyline involves a group of survivors attempting to escape a zombie apocalypse and reach a safe haven. A range of shots and camera angles will be used to build tension. Sounds like tense music, screams, and zombies will create an intense atmosphere. Mise-en-scene elements like low lighting, abandoned locations, and dirty costumes will immerse viewers in the post-apocalyptic setting.
Support and guidence
The document analyzes the openings of several action films. It finds that most openings in the first two minutes establish the main character and provide indications of the background or storyline without fully revealing the plot. The Rambo film is an exception as its opening two minutes essentially reveal the entire plot. The openings generally use sounds like music or diegetic noise to build tension and establish themes through technical codes without including action or drama.
Mission impossible evaluation
The film Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol is the fourth installment in the Mission Impossible film series, starring Tom Cruise as IMF agent Ethan Hunt. In the film, Hunt and his team are framed for a terrorist attack they did not commit and must go on an impossible mission to clear their names and prevent another attack. The trailer uses action sequences, explosions, and tense music to establish that this is an exciting action and spy thriller film, showing clips of agents engaged in shooting and other dangerous missions as the plot of framing Hunt's team is laid out through a voiceover.

F inal shotlist
The shot list describes 19 shots for the opening titles of a horror film. The shots will be filmed at Bentley Priory and focus on one actress (Amy) who appears lost and confused in the rural location. The shots will start with close-ups of the actress's face and pan out to longer shots showing her interacting with the environment. Her increasing confusion and panic will be conveyed as she searches for cell phone signal, reads a map, and has a ball kicked at her feet. The list culminates with a close-up of the actress grabbing her bag just before another person grabs her arm, implying an impending attack. The shots are meant to set an unsettling and ominous tone for the viewer as they are

Final shotlist
1. The shot list provides directions for 19 shots to introduce a horror film opening. It details the camera instructions, location, description of actions, actors, and equipment for each shot.
2. The shots follow one actress at Bentley Priory as she becomes confused, searches for help by phone and map, and has a ball kicked at her feet. She becomes increasingly unsettled until someone grabs her arm as she retrieves her bag.
3. The shots are designed to build tension and unease for the actress through changing camera perspectives and her growing sense that she is being watched, culminating in her being grabbed at the end.
Aa conventions
The film teaser trailer both follows and challenges conventions. It follows conventions by having three acts that build tension and using narration to explain the premise. However, it challenges conventions by not including any characters and only using one piece of music throughout. While uncommon, omitting characters was done to focus on the trailer's point and some other trailers have also omitted characters. The narration and single music choice were necessary to convey the tone within the short format.

Task 8: narrative sructure
The opening sequence of the film The Woman in Black establishes the disruption of two girls playing happily being ordered to jump from a window by the villain, the Woman in Black. This sequence sets up the binary opposition of good vs. evil and the mystery or "enigma codes" around who the Woman in Black is and why she is threatening innocent people. The opening of The Purge shows extreme violence and chaos from the start, establishing the disruption of the film's setting where all crime is legal for 12 hours. This opening lacks character introduction or explanation of the conflict. The beginning of Submarine provides little information about the narrative through brief shots of a messy teenage boy's room, leaving many questions unanswered and an unclear sense of conflict or

Scene analysis.Blackmail
Blackmail, directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1929, was one of the first hybrid silent/sound films and an early example of film noir and murder mystery movies. It was originally intended to be silent but was converted during production to include some sound elements like dialogue and music. Hitchcock skillfully incorporated sound into the film without letting it hamper the visual storytelling. Though the sound technology was still limited, Hitchcock used it creatively to add literal meaning and impact. Blackmail helped establish conventions for using sound in movies going forward.

Mainframe Assessment with Modern Systems' Portfolio Analysis Services
Legacy systems have passed through many hands over many years, often without proper documentation of features or functional relationships. The most common issue with modernizing a system that very few people understand is that planning for and understanding the breadth and potential pitfalls of a project is virtually impossible without a lot of help. Undergoing a mainframe assessment using Modern Systems' Portfolio Analysis services can significantly reduce risk, cost, and project timelines.
A 2013 survey of IT leaders in the US insurance industry by Gartner reflects just how difficult planning modernizations can be.
- Only 42% of respondents said their modernization projects were completed within originally planned budget.
- Just 34% of the modernization attempts covered the originally planned scope, leaving a whopping 66% of these firms victims of dreaded and out of control scope creep.
- What’s worse, only 18% of respondents completed these projects within their originally planned timeframe.
In other words, modernization is a brutal undertaking. In order to develop well-designed applications from legacy environments, powerful tools and expertise are required to analyze the legacy system and aid in generating new programs that are architecturally sound and utilize modern design methods.
The data and reports gathered in a Modern Systems Portfolio Analysis mainframe assessment reduce risk by ensuring all technical inventory and use cases are documented and accounted for. It also reveals potential bumps in the road to modernization before they have a chance to derail a project, so mitigation plans can be established up front.
This mainframe assessment work is automated and precise, saving months of time, thousands of dollars in man hours- and ensures no critical requirements or functionality are left out of the target state design. This data also impacts regression testing, making it more accurate and efficient- reducing time to target.
In addition to the risk, cost, and time reduction, customers who undergo a Modern Systems mainframe assessment are able to reduce the scope of their modernization project by an average of 40%.
Here’s how it works:
First, Modern Systems documents the legacy environment's current state and any important dependencies or conditions such as external interfaces, data volumes, batch dependencies, etc.
From there, Modern Systems resources develop the Final Application Inventory package, containing analysis on unused code, Resource Definition and Usage, easy-to-understand visual diagrams laying out the legacy environment, highlighted areas of concentration, and much more.
Finally, the Modern Systems team holds a strategic workshop with your project stakeholders to discuss our findings, provide Optimum Solution Recommendations for areas of concentration, and to map out an informed modernization strategy and roadmap, backed by a soup-to-nuts mainframe assessment and over 3 decades of expe

Evaluation 1
This document provides an evaluation of a short horror film opening. It summarizes how the opening conforms to conventions of the horror and psychological thriller genres in several ways:
1) The main title is iconic with a red font suggestive of blood, while the named titles are more plain as to not distract from the action.

This document provides an evaluation of a short horror film opening. It summarizes how the opening conforms to conventions of the horror and psychological thriller genres in several ways:
1) The main title is iconic with a red font suggestive of blood, while the named titles are more plain as to not distract from the action.
2) The plot features common horror elements like torture and a twist ending. It aims to be creepy and shocking.
3) Character exposition is ambiguous at first, building mystery, as seen in other horror films like The Conjuring.
4) An enigma is established by initially presenting the leads as protagonists but then revealing they are the antagonists, aiming
Hunted Evaluation
Gabby Gordon evaluated their opening thriller sequence for a class project. Their group chose to do a psychological thriller and make it mysterious by not revealing who the antagonist chasing the protagonist is. They filmed at night using conventions like low-key lighting, quick cuts, and varied angles. Based on feedback, they added more shots to better explain what was happening.
For research, Gordon watched thriller openers like Gone Girl to understand conventions. They looked at lighting, music, shot lengths. Their sequence was inspired by a scene from No Country For Old Men, using similar lighting, color grading, and quick cuts. They debated using voiceover vs. music. The sequence fits in Todorov's theory between disruption and repair. Their

Our thriller trailer uses conventions from other thriller films to introduce characters and setting without revealing too much of the plot. Key conventions we employed included using dull colors, dramatic camera angles, isolated locations, mysterious villains, and a tense soundtrack. We were inspired by trailers for films like "Taken" and "Memento" in our stylistic choices. While adhering to thriller conventions, we also aimed to challenge expectations and leave some mystery for audiences.
Media
The document summarizes how a media project used conventions of real thriller films in its lighting, settings, cinematography, sound, and characters. It describes how the project opened with eerie lighting from computers to set the thriller genre. Settings like a deserted park heightened tension between the protagonist and antagonist alone in the location, similar to the film No Country For Old Men. Cinematography included shots of feet to compare the protagonist and antagonist. Sound switched between tense music and diegetic dialogue to signal changes. The antagonist was loosely based on a character from Skins to be an enigmatic stalker.
Q1 Thriller Evaluation
The film piece subverts some typical thriller conventions through the use of a female antagonist and locations in public spaces during daylight. It establishes a relationship between the antagonist and protagonist in an opening scene. Tension is created through the use of point-of-view shots following the protagonist and lighting that alternates between light and dark settings. The film both challenges and develops conventions through its characters, locations, and lighting techniques.
Question1
The document summarizes how the opening of a student thriller film uses conventions of the thriller genre to set up characters, story, and tone. It introduces the protagonist as she is kidnapped on the street, then cuts to an antagonist cooking in his home. Shots like POV, close-ups, and jump cuts create tension. The antagonist's identity is kept mysterious, while clues suggest the protagonist is isolated and in danger. Special effects like blur are used to add confusion. The opening works to hook viewers and set expectations for a suspenseful thriller story.

Evaluation question 2
The document discusses representations in media and how the thriller opening was produced. It represents stereotypes such as using a blonde girl as the protagonist and a man as the stalker. These choices challenge conventions. It also discusses the use of lighting, music, and editing choices to set the tone and pace of the thriller. The opening scene shows the stalker in a park during daylight with high key lighting, challenging typical mysterious and hidden representations in the thriller genre.
Evaluation post 1
The document discusses various elements used in the opening of a thriller film including font style and size, genre, shots, props, camerawork, costumes, locations, story, special effects, and title. The opening scene is dark and suspenseful, showing someone being killed at a church to draw the audience in and raise questions. Key props like a rope are used to frame the protagonist for murder. Various camera techniques like pans and tracks are employed. Characters wear dark clothing to seem intimidating compared to the protagonist. Locations like a forest and church increase fear and suspense.

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.
Question 1
My media product uses, develops, and challenges thriller conventions in the following ways:
1. It uses common cinematography techniques like tilt shots but also challenges conventions with unique extreme close-ups.
2. It develops conventions through the atypical introduction of the deranged antagonist and their unusual behavior.
3. It challenges conventions by not clearly identifying whether it follows Todorov's or Aristotle's narrative theories, leaving interpretation up to the audience.
EVALUATION Q1: MEDIA PRODUCT
The document discusses how a student media project utilizes conventions of the thriller genre to develop the project's form. It provides examples of how the project uses conventions like low-key lighting, quick cuts, shadows, and camera angles. Specific shots that were included in the project's trailer that follow thriller conventions are described, such as a scene filmed in a park at night that keeps characters in darkness. The structure of the trailer also follows Todorov's theory of equilibrium, disruption, and resolution. Shadows and symbols were used to create suspense, and an opening prologue was included to introduce the story's urban legend in an intriguing way.

- 2. o Low Key Lighting o Quick Cuts o Tense Music o Changes in angle of shots o Diegetic/ non-diegetic sounds of breathing o Montage of shots o Protagonists is in the mercy of antogonist
- 3. o We have used the conventions of a thriller in a useful way that will leave the audience wanting to watch the rest of the thriller. o We had used examples of different films for example Purge, The maze runner as we thought that they had good high and low angle shots and plots that we could use and twist into our thriller sequence
- 7. Our thriller opening doesn’t challenge typical thriller conventions in an obvious way but we do try to change stereotypes as we have no females in the opening and the main character is male. The use of narrative enigma at the end to leave the audience wondering who the person was on the phone at the end of the thriller. Since we only changed who the protagonist was, I believe the thriller opening sticks to the typical conventions since the protagonist was the only part that was changed.
