Proposal Treatment
This is our proposal for our film trailer that I did with my partner. This is the proposal we took through "treatment" and improved.
Question one
The document discusses the process of creating a horror movie trailer. It begins by examining conventions in slasher films, such as having a male villain and female victim. The trailer uses this convention initially but then subverts it by mostly showing male victims. Character and camera conventions from horror films are also considered, with some used and some challenged in the trailer. Overall, the document examines how the trailer both employs and modifies standard horror conventions to create suspense.
The Pitch 2 - Edited version
The document provides a pitch for a psychological thriller titled "Scenario" to be produced by AAAH Productions. The opening scene would show a woman (Alannah) arguing with her boyfriend (Alex) via text messages about her ex-boyfriend contacting her. After Alex leaves, Alannah's ex-boyfriend (Adam) sneaks into her house unnoticed and closes the curtains, implying he kills her. The scene ends in a blackout, leaving the audience wondering what truly happened.
The pitch
A group of students propose a psychological thriller film called "Scenario" that will be filmed at Castlefield House. The plot involves a woman who gets into a fight with her boyfriend and he leaves, after which she begins experiencing strange and frightening events in her empty home. It is revealed that her ex-boyfriend and current boyfriend have been plotting together to murder her. The film aims to explore themes of lust, desire, love, paranoia and obsession through its young characters and shocking plot twist ending.
Story board
The document outlines a storyboard for a film trailer in 6 parts: 1) The main antagonist is introduced walking home and into his house. 2) He walks upstairs where the audience sees a mysterious box. 3) Intrigued, he opens the box to discover a doll inside. 4) The scene cuts to black and then fades in to show the characters panicking and in distress. 5) A second character is introduced, also in distress and running from something, with a close up hinting at a dead body. 6) There are close ups of the doll intercut with shots of the distressed characters, and then a cut to black out before revealing the trailer title.
Script draft 1
The script draft provides shots for the opening title sequence of a film involving an antagonist and a girl named April. It outlines various shots including the antagonist driving and getting out of his car without showing his face, April arriving home with her mother, the antagonist entering a shed at the bottom of his garden and pinning up photos of April, and April walking alone before glancing over her shoulder at the camera as tension builds in the music. It concludes with shots of the antagonist entering an alleyway that April had gone down but only he is shown exiting, followed by a shot of April's mother calling the police in a distressed state to report her daughter missing after not returning from the park.
Scene structure
The document outlines the scene structure and camera work for a short film. It describes 5 scenes: 1) the actress being bullied by siblings, 2) her father comforting her, 3) the house burning down, 4) the actress grown up and haunted by her past, 5) her being haunted by her dead siblings. The scenes will use a variety of shots including close-ups, extreme close-ups, wide shots, and tracking shots created through camera work, greenscreen, and After Effects. Scene divisions will include black screens with white text comments. Camera work will be done freely without a tripod from a first-person perspective.
3 frame analysis
Kailum Gardner analyzes the cinematography techniques used in three thriller films: The House at the End of the Street, The Purge Two, and Inception. For each film, Kailum discusses the lighting, camera angles, and mise-en-scene to convey mood and provide context. Key details like dim lighting, security camera shots, and unusual collapsing settings are examined for their storytelling impacts. Overall, the document focuses on how visual elements in scenes from the three thrillers engage viewers and enhance tension.
Question 1 (film trailer)
The document discusses conventions of film trailers and narrative theory, and how the student's film trailer both develops and challenges some conventions. Specifically, the student's trailer begins with the main character already facing a disruption (cancer diagnosis) rather than showing an initial status quo. It also features a voiceover by the main character rather than a standard male voiceover. The trailer incorporates elements of drama and social realism genres.
Main plot for my horror movie.
A couple buys an old abandoned foster home in the woods to start their family. While exploring, they discover a hidden basement containing diaries and toys from the foster children. One diary describes horrific torture by a masked man. Reading about the man accidentally raises his curse. Strange events begin occurring as the man stalks the couple in the house. He captures them and subjects them to torture in the basement. Their screams for help go unanswered as no one else is around to hear. The film ends with the man preparing to reveal his identity but keeps it hidden, speaking only a cryptic slogan for the film.
Short film pitch
The document outlines a pitch for a short film called "The Gatekeeper". It describes the main character getting mugged and dying, finding himself in a plain white room with a gatekeeper who says he is in heaven. The gatekeeper goes through the man's bad deeds while he argues his good deeds, and the film ends with the gatekeeper deciding if he can enter heaven. It provides details on the main character being slightly clueless, the modernized heavenly setting, a dreamy comedic style with dark humor, ominous then calming music, and a target age group of 16-29 who enjoy dark humor.
Storyboard
The document outlines the storyboard for a horror trailer. It begins by introducing the main antagonist walking home and into his house. He then walks upstairs where he discovers a mysterious box. Upon opening the box, he finds a doll, causing the camera to cut to black. The disruption is shown through shots of characters panicking and in distress, including a second character. Close ups of the doll are intercut with shots of the characters as distress increases, culminating in a hinted dead body. The trailer then cuts to black and reveals the title.
Media horror presentation
The document describes a series of shots from a zombie film. It begins with a wide shot of a school as the main character runs past, being chased by zombies. Subsequent shots show the main character running scared and looking over his shoulder. He opens a gate to escape but doesn't close it fully, allowing the zombies to follow. The main character then runs into a building where other survivors ask if he got what they needed. However, the gate is then shown opening slowly with the zombies entering as the title "Deadline" appears.
Paranormal Activity 4
This movie explores themes of demonic possession within a normal suburban setting. It follows a teenage girl named Alex and her family who discover their neighbor's child is being cared for by them after his mother falls ill. Strange events begin occurring, captured by cameras the teens have set up, and the neighbor child draws a symbol associated with witchcraft on Alex's younger brother. The film has an open-ended narrative that could continue the story in another installment. It primarily targets teenagers and adults interested in paranormal films. The trailer captures the found footage style through cuts when camera signals are lost and chronicles the increasing strange occurrences through the point of view of the main character.
The Woman In Black
The opening scene of The Woman in Black establishes a sense of unease through its use of mise-en-scene, camera work, sound, and representation. It begins with three young girls playing innocently but their play is disrupted when they mysteriously jump from a window after looking at an unseen force. A scream is then heard, identifying the disruption. This establishes tensions between innocence and evil that will drive the narrative forward.
Media ||Studies
The document provides details for planning a thriller film shoot near the author's house. The woodland surrounding the house is ideal for filming with its sense of isolation and variety of accessible locations. Scenes can be shot near the abandoned house, though the interior will need to be recreated elsewhere. The costume for the character Rebecca will portray her as escaping captivity through a prisoner number on her shirt. Her pursuer, called the Enigma, will wear all black to seem mysterious and threaten Rebecca's escape. Character descriptions establish Rebecca as innocent and helpless against the criminal and controlling Enigma.
Storyboard
This storyboard document outlines 10 frames for an opening film sequence. Frames 1-2 depict two angry men violently interrogating a girl upon entering her house, trying to find something important. Frame 3 was to drown the girl but the filmmakers decided killing her too early would lessen the story. Frames 4-5 show the men tearing apart the bedroom and screaming in the girl's face to find the object. Frame 6 has a neighbor calling the police upon hearing the girl's distress. Frames 7-8 continue the men harassing the girl as they argue what to do with her. Frame 9 is the decision point but leaves uncertainty about the girl's fate. Frame 10 ends with the men running from the house
Storyboard
This 3 sentence document appears to be about pre-production for someone named Emily Morris. It repeats the phrase "Emily Morris – Pre production" 3 times, suggesting it is a brief or placeholder document focused on pre-planning and preparation involving an individual named Emily Morris. The document provides minimal information through its repetitive phrasing and does not include many details about the nature of the pre-production or planned production involving Emily Morris.
Conventions of the Genre
The document discusses common visual and technical elements found in the genre of psychological thrillers. It notes that titles often use bold, dark colors and letters that stand out against a black background to create a sense of tension. Costumes are usually normal to add realism, but characters experiencing psychological issues have a more disheveled appearance. Locations are also typically normal places but with elements suggestive of danger, and the films may cut between normal settings and places like mental hospitals that connote fear. Weapons, phones, and computers are common props that advance themes of violence and mystery.
Evaluation - Question 6
The document discusses the various technologies the student learned about and used during the process of creating a film project. They used a Canon DSLR camera to film footage, learning how to properly focus and set aperture and shutter speeds. Premiere Pro was used to edit, allowing manipulation of audio and video. Other programs like SlideShare, Blogger, Prezi, Powtoon, Animaker, YouTube and Facebook were utilized at different stages for tasks like sharing work, receiving feedback, and creating interactive presentations. The student feels they gained significant knowledge and understanding of technologies from starting the preliminary project to completing the final film.
Script - 2nd Draft
1. The documentary follows Character A who is having a mental breakdown in her bedroom. She remembers happier times with her friend.
2. Character A rides her bike to her friend's house, recounting how she is always there for her friend.

Managing aging equipment at storage facilities is challenging due to tight budgets and lack of resources. Maintaining legislative compliance is also difficult. Preventative maintenance through inspection and calibration of equipment like breather valves is key to safety, compliance, and profitability. Ignored issues can lead to accidents, fines, and loss of life. Proper maintenance through planned inspection intervals and part replacement can identify problems early and prevent costly incidents.
Genre Research
A psychological thriller is a sub-genre of thriller that focuses on a protagonist's fragile mental state. Suspense comes from the protagonist's mind rather than physical threats. Key elements include connecting the audience to the protagonist's emotions to make them feel uncomfortable. Alfred Hitchcock's 1927 film "The Lodger" is considered one of the earliest psychological thrillers. It tapped into audiences' paranoia without sound or color. More recent influential films include "Silence of the Lambs" and "Black Swan". Psychological thrillers typically involve themes of reality, perception, mind, identity and death. The genre has proven financially successful, with the "Paranormal Activity" films in particular achieving high returns on investment
