Our company is called Paranormal Pictures and we are associated with Universal Pictures. We created a poster in Photoshop using elements from a camera picture and font from dafont.com. The blood was edited onto the poster to represent horror iconography. Our trailer targets audiences 15 and older with strong violence and horror themes like blood and knives. The trailer genre is psychological horror, inspired by films like Paranormal Activity and Drag Me To Hell. The poster was inspired by The Box movie poster layout. The aim of the trailer was to create suspense and questions in the audience and make them feel fear for characters to entice viewing the full movie.

Potential Props
The document discusses potential props that a film group could use for their horror film project. Some of the props discussed include a teddy bear, white blouse, mirror, rosary beads/crucifix, fireplace, telephone, and grandfather clock. For each prop, the group analyzes how the prop could be used to enhance the horror elements of the project and follow conventions of the horror genre, such as using a teddy bear to portray innocence or a fireplace to represent hell. The group aims to incorporate props that are commonly seen in other horror films to make their project more engaging for audiences.
Ancillary task two
The document discusses the development of a film poster for a horror film called "Contagion" about the spreading of a virus. The poster aims to use symbolic imagery rather than starring personas. It shows someone lighting tissues on fire to represent the spreading infection, drawing from the film's trailer song "Ring Around the Roses." Testing different images, the poster depicts tissues ablaze in a forest setting with the film title in bold red letters at the bottom against a dark background. Feedback on taglines preferred "BLESS YOU!" as it implies the viewer may already be infected.
Concept powerpoint
Our film concept is for a horror/thriller about a group of friends who experience paranormal phenomena while filming their lives with a new camera. The concept draws inspiration from films like Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project that use an amateur, handheld camera style to seem more realistic. The target audience is males and females aged 15-21 and most of the film will be shot in an average suburban house using unknown actors and diegetic sound with added non-diegetic effects. Additional tasks include making a poster and magazine cover in the style of inspirations like The Blair Witch Project and genre magazines.
Second evaltuation q1
This document summarizes the creative process behind a student horror trailer project. It discusses how the students researched horror film conventions to inform their trailer's narrative, story, and editing decisions. Specifically, it notes that the trailer reveals more of the storyline than typical horror trailers, is based on a group of girls encountering a possessed diary, and uses a chronological order and final scare. The document also covers the research done on horror magazine designs and the licensing of music from the film Sinister for the trailer's soundtrack.
In what ways does your media product use
This document discusses how the media product both conforms to and challenges conventions of real media. It conforms by effectively building suspense through music and setting an eerie scene in a graveyard and chapel. It develops conventions by intentionally creating confusion about whether scenes are dreams or reality. It challenges conventions by avoiding fake blood, using natural lighting instead of low key lighting for practical reasons, and including a voiceover at the end instead of no dialogue.
Evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the media project challenges conventions of typical horror films and trailers in several ways. It created a modernized version of the 2012 film The Possession, but did not follow costume conventions by dressing the young girl in pink rather than white. The trailer used atypical elements like an iPhone torch light and a soundtrack from Planet of the Apes to build tension and surprise the audience. Overall it aimed to challenge expectations while still using some conventional horror techniques.
Media presentation
The document discusses and analyzes three horror movie posters. All three posters use dark colors and shadows to create a scary and ominous atmosphere. Poster 1 uses red to highlight danger and skulls above the Eiffel Tower to indicate it is a horror film. Poster 2 uses an all-black background and shadows to appear creepy, while the woman's uneasy expression suggests she will die. Poster 3 features a possessed-looking boy which intrigues viewers about the plot. Overall, the posters employ dark tones and lighting to signal danger and death without any other context.
Evaluation Question 1
Our media product used common conventions of horror films to scare the audience. We set the story at night in a haunted house to set the mood and atmosphere, included jumps and scares, and featured a possessed girl that another character tries to help, drawing on conventions from films like The Exorcism. While horror conventions sometimes differ depending on the focus (paranormal or killer), our film incorporated standard elements to develop a typical horror experience for viewers.

Evaluation of film opening
Our film opening represents a group of teenagers to portray innocence before violence occurs. We used teenagers to challenge horror film tropes and create something different. The film starts the group in a safe location that will gradually become unsafe, leaving a victim alone and harmed. Horror appeals broadly but especially to teenagers and young adults as a way to metaphorically face real-life fears. We used Final Cut Pro software to edit footage, lighting, titles and pacing. GarageBand allowed us to add voiceovers, music and sound effects to enhance the quality. Learning from prior tasks helped us include different shot types and illustrate necessary elements in our opening.
Media evalution main task
In our horror film we have developed some typical horror film conventions while also using some without development:
- We developed conventions by having the man die in the opening scene rather than the woman, and by not showing the killer, bringing more variety.
- We did not develop conventions in our use of close-up shots of victims' faces or in our typical young person clothing and living room setting, using these conventions to create familiarity and increase fear.
- We developed the convention of sound by making our soundtrack more up-tempo and scary to add tension, unlike other films with more eerie sounds.
- We used a mix of bright and dark lighting to challenge conventions that usually only use one type
Presentation1
The student's research has informed their film publicity campaign in several ways:
1) Real campaigns for films like Friday the 13th and The Blair Witch Project influenced the student's campaign's use of striking posters and creating a sense of fear and suspense.
2) Research on horror films like The Ring and comparisons to films like Friday the 13th informed character and weapon choices for the student's film.
3) Target audiences were selected from supernatural and "slasher" horror films to match the student's film's themes and content.
4) Digital technologies like blogs, Facebook, and Myspace were utilized to advertise the film and engage target audiences online.

The document discusses the importance of both visuals and sound in films. It explores how silent films relied solely on visual techniques like lighting and camera angles to convey meaning and emotion. Early sound films also used musical scores to heighten the audience experience. While visuals are crucial for storytelling, the document argues that sound is equally important for delivering aspects of the narrative and eliciting emotional responses that visuals alone cannot achieve. It presents examples of how filmmakers strategically employ sounds like music and infrasound to manipulate audiences' fear levels. Overall, the document suggests that both visuals and sound play key roles in impacting audiences and neither should be considered more important than the other.
Are audiences impacted more by sound or visuals in film?

Advanced portfolio evaluation
The document discusses the production of a trailer, magazine, and poster to promote the film "Finders Keepers." Research focused on the surrealist works of Michel Gondry and Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland." Planning involved storyboarding the trailer. Adobe Premiere and Photoshop were used to construct the trailer, magazine, and poster. PowerPoint was used to evaluate the projects. Audience feedback confirmed the target audience was reached and the narrative and emotional response goals were achieved through an effective combination of the media products.
Task 8
The document discusses the inspiration for the design of a film poster. It summarizes 3 case studies that were analyzed:
1) Tyler Perry's "Temptations" poster uses red, black, and white to represent emotions in the film. Symbols tell a story visually.
2) "Black Swan" also uses red, black, and white in a simple yet effective design. Actors are clearly identified.
3) A brighter red is used in another poster to possibly connote love, unlike the darker red in the other posters. It includes the film title and actors.
The document proposes a design for the poster with the main image taking up half the page showing a face with contrasting
Where It All Began - AS Level Media Studies - Critical Analysis
The document provides details about a 2-minute film opening project for an AS Level Media Studies course. It discusses how the film challenges conventions by telling a story about prosopagnosia (face blindness) and Stockholm syndrome. It describes the opening scene's structure, shots, lighting, and representation of unheard social issues. It then discusses how the film would engage audiences, be distributed online, and how the production skills of the student team developed throughout making the project. The student used various hardware, software, and online tools in creating the film.
Question 1
The document discusses conventions used in film title sequences and openings, using the film Psycho as an example. It describes conventions at both the macro and micro level. At the macro level, Psycho does not show characters in its title sequence but only addresses them in the credits. At the micro level, Psycho uses black and white film stock, dramatic music, and motion titles to set an ominous tone. The document also discusses how the student group applied conventions from Psycho in their own horror title sequence, such as using red text on a black background and dramatic sound and music to signal the genre to viewers.
Question 5
The document discusses how the group attracted their target audience for their thriller/horror film opening title sequence called "Sinister Escape". They used tense music, dark colors like black and red, and crime-themed fonts to build suspense and engage viewers of the genre. They also studied camera techniques from other horror films. Through editing and reordering scenes to clarify the storyline, and using fake blood and ominous locations, they created an atmosphere of danger and murder that hinted at the plot without revealing too much. By including these genre-specific elements, they successfully reached their target horror film audience.
Media question 1 finished done
The document discusses conventions in title sequences and how the student's group followed conventions in their horror/thriller title sequence project. It provides examples of title sequences from films like Shutter Island and Psycho that the group drew inspiration from. The group made sure to follow typical genre conventions like using dark lighting and colors, dramatic music, and animation/motion in the titles to set the tone and give the audience an idea of the genre. While the group was influenced by other title sequences, they developed their own original story idea and visual style for their title. Overall, the group felt they were successful in creating a recognizable title sequence that adhered to typical horror/thriller conventions without challenging them.
Poster ananlysis (1978) halloween
The Halloween (1978) film poster uses black, white, and orange colors that symbolize mystery, innocence, and the Halloween holiday. The main image is an evil-looking pumpkin holding a knife, indicating it is a horror film related to Halloween. Low lighting and the knife suggest mystery and portray the knife as a murder weapon. The title is in bold white letters that stand out against the black background with an orange outline, keeping with the Halloween theme. Very little other information is provided, making it more of a teaser poster that raises questions for the audience.
Poster ananlysis (1978) halloween
The Halloween (1978) film poster uses black, white, and orange colors that symbolize mystery, death, innocence, and the Halloween holiday. The main image features an evil-looking pumpkin with fiery eyes holding a kitchen knife, identifying it as a horror film involving murder. Low lighting and a glint on the sharp knife blade make the poster eerie and suggest the weapon will be used for deep stabbings. While actor names are included, they are in small print at the bottom, as the poster aims to sell the horror genre rather than star power. The cryptic tagline "The night he came home!" leaves many questions unanswered, making it an effective teaser poster.

Evaluation For Preliminary Task Zabi
1. The document evaluates a short film scene about a police officer, Jiminy Cricket, seeking revenge on Billy Bob for murdering his wife. It was influenced by the films Training Day and Silence of the Lambs.
2. While the filmmakers were pleased with the shots achieved given limited equipment, one scene had to be reshot after the subject's head was cut off.
3. Planning and storyboarding helped visualize the scene before filming, but limited time meant fewer scenes than intended could be storyboarded.
Question 1
The document discusses a psychological horror film called Psychosis. It uses common horror conventions like settings and editing techniques to develop tension and immerse the audience in the main character's paranoia. The film features two main settings - a suburban house and woods - that contrast safe versus dangerous spaces. Fast pacing and unsettling sounds are used in editing to suggest the character lacks control. Costuming also provides contrasts to attract or avoid attention from different characters. Overall, the film challenges conventions by exploring the mind of a person suffering from paranoia through conventional horror elements.

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conv...
Our media products for 'The Elusive' used and developed conventions of real horror media products. The trailer followed typical horror trailer conventions like building tension and climax. It also drew on techniques like Freytag's triangle. The titling and fonts matched horror film conventions. While adhering to conventions for layout, the mysterious poster image challenged expectations. The magazine cover also used horror-related conventions like red coloring but challenged the norm of overlapping text and images. Elements like character fashion helped target audiences relate to the products.
How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
The Paranormal Activity marketing campaign began as a very low budget campaign that grew into a worldwide sensation.

It summarizes that the magazine cover, poster, and trailer developed conventions like large mastheads, relevant headlines, close-up character images, and use of red color.

Market research was conducted to understand audience preferences and satisfy their expectations.
Media evaluation
Our group created a promotion package for a new horror film that included a teaser trailer, magazine front cover, and poster. For the poster and magazine cover, we drew inspiration from existing horror media like The Blair Witch Project to incorporate genre conventions such as ominous woods settings and filters implying supernatural elements. The trailer used camera techniques seen in other horror trailers like close-ups to build tension. All three pieces featured a consistent color scheme and connected the film's narrative without revealing too much to create intrigue.
Evaluation Question 2
The document discusses the goals and techniques used in creating a horror film and corresponding promotional materials, including a poster and radio trailer. It aimed to entertain audiences through thrills, suspense and fear while also exploring supernatural themes and psychological elements.

The poster uses ominous imagery and a dramatic visual style while the radio trailer employs an eerie tone, snippets of dialogue and a cliffhanger ending to intrigue listeners.

Text on the poster included the title "The Demented" and tagline "The Body of a Women, The Soul of a Psychopath" in red to emphasize the horror elements.

Evaluation
The document discusses conventions used in psychological thriller films and how the author's media product conforms or does not conform to these conventions. It addresses themes, settings, costumes, props, editing techniques, and other elements. Feedback from a focus group was incorporated into changes made to better address the target audience.

Question 1
The document discusses conventions used in horror film posters, magazines, and trailers. It explains that the posters and magazine were designed to adhere to typical horror genre conventions like dark colors, grainy images, and scary eye-catching visuals in order to target their intended 18+ audience. The film trailer was meant to both stick to conventions like fast editing, handheld camerawork, and forest settings, as well as challenge conventions by using elements like a journal/spellbook, reversing a happy song for the climax, and combining scary imagery with upbeat music. The purpose was to create a hybrid genre that was unusual while still unsettling the audience.

Paranaoam
The document describes the process of designing a production poster. The designer began by adding text using fonts found on dafont.com. An image of a camera was added behind the text but was faded as it was too distracting. To connote horror for their specialty genre, an image of blood dripping was used. With adjustments, blood was added to the camera to clearly theme the production as horror. Looking back, the designer felt they followed their draft well and found similar fonts.
Prop list
The document lists props including fake blood, an iPhone, knife, black hoodie, black t-shirt, white top, a bed with red bed sheets, boxes, and a picture frame. It also lists locations such as a house with a bathroom containing a mirror and a bedroom, a hallway, and a dark road.
Analaysis of different music magazines
The document analyzes similarities in music magazine front covers. Most covers feature a mid-shot of an artist gazing directly at the camera.

The layout generally has the central image surrounded by text, with graphics and pull quotes to attract readers' attention.
Wirelesspowerpoint
The document discusses the target audience of the Wireless music festival. It analyzes that the popular artists performing, like Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake, largely appeal to teenagers. The environment of the festival, with alcohol and dancing, is also more suitable for teenagers than families with young children. The advertisement of the festival on youth-oriented radio stations and social media sites helped reach the target audience of teenagers.

Priemere presentation
- 2. The name of our company is called ‘Paranormal Pictures’. We are in association with universal pictures. We made this product on Photoshop that was done by our group member, we got the font from dafont which we copied and pasted, we got a picture of a camera and using the magic wand tool we were able to select parts of the camera and change the colour from black to grey. The blood was then edited on to represent. the normal iconography of horror. However we did not use this on our trailer because it did not fit in but it is shown on the poster.
- 3. Target audience Our aim was to attract the attention of aged 15 and over. The reason for the age rating was that our trailer consists of strong violence and iconography relating to horror ( blood, knife, possession).
- 4. Genre The sub-genre for our trailer was psychological horror. We were inspired by ‘Paranormal Activity’ and ‘Drag Me To Hell’ which we had watched analysed prior to creating our final products.
- 5. Our poster was inspired by ‘The Box’ movie poster. We used this to help us with our layout.
- 6. What we were trying to achieve? The aim of our trailer was to create adrenaline, suspense and enigma – this would make the audience question the reason behind everything that has occurred. We wanted the audience to feel fear for the character when watching the trailer itself. Also we wanted them to go and watch the movie.
