Prop list
The document lists props for an upcoming horror film including a kitchen knife, mask, school bag, and phone. The knife will be used by the antagonist to kill the protagonist, portraying themes of murder. A mask will conceal the antagonist's identity and emotions, making him more mysterious. A school bag establishes the protagonist as a typical high school student to improve believability. A phone will be used by the protagonist to call someone and create intrigue for the audience.
Question 1
The document discusses how the media product uses several conventions of thriller films in its opening sequence. It employs voyeurism by showing a girl being followed by her ex-boyfriend without her knowledge. It also uses the convention of extraordinary events occurring in ordinary situations by showing the girl attempting suicide at school. The core narrative involves crime, with the antagonist exploiting the protagonist's flaw by making her attempt suicide after finding out she cheated on him. Throughout, it uses camera shots and techniques like flashbacks to effectively convey emotion and draw the audience in.
Irony
This document defines and provides examples of different types of irony. It explains that situational irony occurs when the opposite of what is expected happens, verbal irony involves saying something that contrasts with the literal meaning, and dramatic irony exists when the audience knows something that characters in a story do not. Types of irony include situational, verbal, and dramatic.
Our characters, Using Propp
Vladimir Propp identified typical characters that appear in narratives, including the hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, false hero, helper, and princess. Propp argued these characters provide structure and carry out narrative functions. The document discusses applying Propp's theory to analyze characters in a music video about domestic violence. Only the victim(s) and perpetrator(s) map directly to Propp's hero and villain roles. Other characters in the music video, like friends and the artist, differ from Propp's model since music videos aim to promote a message concisely rather than provide complex narratives.
Props
The document lists props needed for a film opening sequence and provides details on each prop's use. A broken phone will be used by the mysterious antagonist and play a major role. A second phone will be used briefly by a scared student to set the scene. The scared student will also use a simple school bag for most of the opening until dropping it. A rougher school bag will represent the bully's harsh nature and stay with the bully throughout the opening sequence. All props are meant to be relatable for audiences.

Irony (types of irony)
The document defines and provides examples of different types of irony: verbal irony uses sarcasm to express the opposite meaning of what is said, dramatic irony occurs when the reader knows something a character does not, and situational irony involves unexpected situations that are opposite of what was expected. Examples are given for each type of irony to illustrate these concepts.
Evaluation q1
This document discusses how the opening sequence for a student film conforms to and deviates from thriller film conventions. Some conventions it follows include using low lighting to set an eerie tone, including violence/weapons to drive the plot, and introducing "good guy" and "bad guy" characters. However, it purposefully omits other conventions like revealing the title at the beginning. The sequence aims to generate suspense and curiosity in viewers by withholding information and using enigma codes.
Ideas For Camera
An extreme close-up shot of the protagonist's eye would suggest to the audience that by watching the film they are looking into her soul and trying to figure out why she is psychologically unstable. An over-the-shoulder shot would allow the audience to see the film from the protagonist's perspective and make them more sympathetic towards her. A high angle close-up shot would be used to portray the protagonist feeling fragile after experiencing extreme trauma by making her appear smaller and weaker.
Poster Overview
The document analyzes horror movie posters to understand how to effectively design a promotional poster. It discusses several key elements that horror movie posters typically include: images featuring a single person to represent the main character or victim; dark backgrounds with bold, red title fonts to symbolize death; simple title fonts for readability; taglines that create discomfort and fear in viewers; and images showing characters in distress or being attacked to provide a sense of the narrative. Analyzing these common conventions helps the author understand how to satisfy audience expectations while creating a unique yet professional promotional poster.
Satire
Satire is defined as using irony, sarcasm, or ridicule to expose and criticize vice or folly in a way that aims to create change or improvement. Irony refers to when what is expected differs from what actually occurs, while sarcasm and ridicule are methods of mocking or insulting others. The goal of satire is to denounce behaviors, ideas, or individuals seen as wrong or foolish through humor, wit, or mockery.

Technology and proliferation
This document discusses how digital technology has impacted various aspects of the film industry, including production, distribution, marketing, and exhibition. It notes that digital technology has made it cheaper and easier for independent filmmakers to produce and distribute films. However, it has also enabled piracy and unauthorized downloading, which major studios see as a threat as it takes power away from them. The document discusses various ways the industry has tried to address these issues, and considers how new technologies may change the film viewing experience both at home and in cinemas.
Technological convergence
Technological convergence refers to the tendency of different technologies to perform similar functions. It occurs when new technologies develop that take over tasks previously handled by older technologies. Examples include phones replacing radios for listening to music and the internet allowing access to services once separate such as communication, entertainment, and social interaction. Convergence has advantages for both audiences and institutions but also disadvantages. It provides more convenient access to content and services for audiences while allowing institutions more opportunities for promotion and profit. However, convergence technologies can be expensive both for audiences to access and institutions to develop, potentially limiting their adoption and returns.

The document discusses how the student ensured their thriller film followed genre conventions. It analyzes the conventions used in films like "The Grudge" and "Lucy" for characters, settings, lighting, and more. It then describes how each element in the student's film adheres to thriller conventions, such as using low-key lighting for dark scenes, isolated settings for murders, and costumes that reflect the personalities of the protagonist, antagonist, and anti-hero. Overall, the document demonstrates how the student carefully crafted their film to follow standard conventions of the thriller genre.
Still image analysis
The document analyzes still images from a movie trailer that are commonly used in horror genre trailers. It discusses 5 images: 1) The main character in distress indicates the antagonist is causing problems. 2) A house setting suggests the events will happen there and wealthy owners are often targeted. 3) A shadow represents danger from an unseen ghost or person to scare viewers. 4) A mother and child holding each other suggests they need each other to survive but also makes them targets. 5) An antagonist behind a man is used to frighten viewers and show what the antagonist looks like. The images follow horror film conventions to set up fear, danger, victims and frighten the audience.

Shots in horror films

It describes each shot in terms of type of shot, why it is used, its function, when it appears in the trailer, and how the information could be applied to the author's own horror film trailer. The shots serve to establish setting and characters, build suspense, represent the horror genre through conventions like darkness and violence, and ultimately remind viewers of the film's title.
Media evaluation

It also discusses the use of red titles/credits, an unknown killer's identity, young female victims, and horror-related music.

Genre question analysis of ancillary 1
1) The document discusses a media production for an A2 short film in the horror/thriller genre.
2) It analyzes how the film poster uses conventions of the horror genre, such as a dark, secluded wood background and an unsettling female character, to signal to audiences that it is a horror film.
3) The poster is also meant to position audiences ambiguously by making the wood setting appear brighter, suggesting an unexpected twist or ending to challenge expectations of the genre.
Evaluation – Question 1 - AS Media
The document discusses conventions used in the thriller genre for a student film project. It describes conventions used for the antagonist character including dark costume, stern posture, and blank facial expression. It also discusses conventions for the graveyard setting, low key lighting, simple white typography on a black background, and a tilt shot reveal of a victim. Iconography included a phone and dark jacket. Following genre conventions created suspense without explicitly showing violence.
Question1
The document discusses how the filmmaker's media product uses and challenges conventions of real media genres. It provides examples from shots in the filmmaker's short film. Shots are discussed that incorporate dark filters, lighting, angles, and compositions to create tension and unease as is common in horror films. However, the film also includes elements of social realism genre through its portrayal of everyday settings and characters. The filmmaker aims to surprise the audience with a twist at the end, as is a convention of short films and social realism genre.
Shot types within horror films
This document analyzes 9 different shot types from the trailer for A Nightmare on Elm Street. Each shot is described in terms of the type of shot, why it was used, its function, when it appeared in the trailer, and how the techniques could be applied to a film trailer. The shots serve to establish setting, build tension, reveal information about the killer, and encourage viewers to watch the film by representing common horror conventions.
A-level Media Evaluation
Lauren Griggs' media products include a trailer, posters, and website for a horror film called "The Retribution". To make the products successful, she researched conventions of existing media to incorporate typical codes. However, she also challenged some conventions. The trailer starts upbeat but gets darker, initially confusing the villain and victim. Quick cuts, sounds, and a tagline build suspense as typical of horror trailers. Overall, the products use conventions like dark settings and female protagonists, but also challenge expectations through an innocent-looking young girl as the antagonist.
Paranormal activity poster
The document summarizes and analyzes the key elements of a movie poster for the film "Paranormal Activity", including the film title, image, quotes, and taglines. The film title uses dark colors and a faded font to create a scary and mysterious tone. The blurred image shows frightened characters facing an unknown threat at their door. The quotes and taglines are designed to intrigue audiences and make them want to watch the film by leaving things unexplained and playing on common fears.
Prop list (1)
The knife represents how it can take lives and instill fear in victims and audiences, demonstrating how pain is a theme in thriller films. A person will be seen bullied and hanging themselves, but was actually killed by the bullies, and returns as a spirit to kill the bullies with the rope in an act of revenge. A mobile phone is featured to emphasize emergency calls but also shows how cyber-bullying starts the plot of the protagonist being bullied online.

- 2. Knife In the opening of my horror/thriller film, the antagonist’s main weapon of choice will be a knife. It will be used by the antagonist to kill the protagonist who will be the victim. This will depict the theme of murder and will imply that the antagonist is homicidal. A knife is a typical generic convention that is used within horror films. Using a knife will allow the audience to understand that the genre of the film is horror.
- 3. Mask A mask will be used for the film opening because it will hide the identity of the antagonist. This will clearly show the viewer that he is the antagonist. It will hide his real emotions which will make him more dark and threatening. It will make the viewer speculate what the antagonist’s intentions are and also what his personality is like.
- 4. School Bag A school bag will be used for the opening of my horror/thriller film to show that the protagonist is a typical upper school student. It will also make it more believable for the audience that he is a student. Also, it implies that the student is still full of youth and potential.
- 5. Phone A phone will be used for the opening of my film opening because it is a device that will allow the narrative to move forward. It will be used by the protagonist to call someone.
