Narrative theory’s
The document outlines the typical structure of narratives according to Tomorrow, including an initial equilibrium that is disrupted by an interruption which is then resolved, restoring a new equilibrium. It also discusses Propp's theory that stories typically involve 7 character roles - the villain, false hero, hero, donor, helper, dispatcher, and princess. The hero seeks to correct the disrupted equilibrium with help from the donor and often marries the princess in the end.
How to create a thriller
1) When creating a thriller film, the audience should be the top priority. Scenes should tease and draw the viewers in, connecting with their emotions.
2) Emotion is the ultimate goal of each scene. Camera placement and facial expressions can enhance the intended emotion. Close-ups of the eyes are especially impactful.
3) The camera should move around liberally as if the viewer is uncovering the story themselves. Close-ups on objects can help explain plot elements.
Saulbass
Saul Bass was an American graphic designer best known for his pioneering motion picture title sequences over four decades working with famous directors. Bass began his career doing print work for films but created impressive title designs for Otto Preminger's 1954 film Carmen Jones, realizing the importance of opening and closing credits. Bass aimed to set the mood and convey the film's underlying story and themes metaphorically to give audiences an emotional connection before the film began. He became popular after his controversial title sequence for the 1955 film The Man with the Golden Arm about heroin addiction, featuring an animated paper cut-out arm. Saul Bass was truly an innovative designer who transformed pictures and words into memorable stories for audiences.
Camera shots and angles
This document defines and describes various camera shots and angles used in television and film production including long shots, establishing shots, point of view shots, two shots, close ups, high and low angles, over the shoulder shots, medium close shots, overhead shots, and tilted shots. It explains that long shots show a large subject and surroundings, establishing shots set the context, point of view shots see through a character's eyes, two shots involve dialogue between two characters, and close ups focus attention on a person's expression or object. High and low angles manipulate viewer perspective while over the shoulder, medium close, overhead, and tilted shots provide different framing and perspectives of the action.
A history of bexleyheath
The document provides a history of Bexleyheath in southeast London from the early 19th century. It describes how the population grew after enclosure led to increased settlement in the area. This led to the construction of the first Anglican church, Chapel-of-Ease, in 1835. Continued population growth necessitated building a larger church, Christ Church, in the 1870s, led by Reverend William Pincott. Christ Church was consecrated in 1877 but Pincott died the following year. The church has since undergone several expansions and renovations.
What have you learnt from your audience feedback
The filmmakers received feedback from audience members on their thriller film through a questionnaire. The feedback indicated that quicker shots could have built more suspense and longer shots of blood could have displayed more thriller conventions. Some audience members had trouble following the complex plot and flashbacks. For future films, the filmmakers learned that they need to focus on a simpler storyline, use flashbacks more effectively, and ensure visual consistency throughout.

Audience theory research
The document summarizes several audience theory models:
1) The effects model views audiences as passive recipients of media messages. More recent models see audiences as more active.
2) Uses and gratifications theory sees audiences as active in selecting media to fulfill needs like entertainment and social interaction.
3) The active audience model recognizes that audiences can interpret media messages in different, sometimes opposing ways.
4) The ethnographic model examines audience behaviors and preferences through qualitative research like interviews in cultural contexts.
Film poster textual analysis
The document analyzes and summarizes several film posters:
- The Kidulthood poster depicts teenagers in urban clothing to relate to inner-city youth. Dark colors and white text convey a dark storyline with themes of forgiveness.
- Adulthood's poster shows the characters together as friends, with the main character central. Styles are unchanged, though violence symbols are gone, implying the story's violence is over.
- Green Street's poster features gritty urban imagery and injured characters, targeting football fans with its dark tones and prominence of "Hooligans."
- From Hell's black background and characters convey darkness, with a romance and Jack the Ripper outlined but unseen, alluding to the title
Jane the ripper
The document discusses the inspiration and planning for a short film called "Jane the Ripper". It was conceived as a modern retelling of Jack the Ripper with the killer being a female character named Jane, seeking revenge after being left at the altar. Research was done on the historical Jack the Ripper case and his typical modus operandi involving knife murders of prostitutes in Whitechapel, London. Jane will similarly use a knife and wear disguising outfits including a wedding dress. The film will be inspired by other Ripper-themed works like the movie "From Hell" but aim to create an original plot.

What is a thriller
A thriller is a genre that uses tension, excitement, suspense and plot twists to generate an adrenaline rush and anxiety in viewers. It often involves crime, violence, terror or menace and features characters like criminals, police, stalkers or assassins. Common thriller themes include love triangles resulting in murder, political conspiracies, terrorism or other crimes. Though thrillers can take place anywhere, they are typically set in ordinary cities or locations like foreign countries, the suburbs or exotic settings.
