This document lists potential strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities for a short film project. The strengths include having a unique idea, low production costs, and a clear vision for the final product. Some weaknesses are limitations on using copyrighted music or animals, and challenges with portraying comedy or dealing with changing weather affecting continuity or shots. Threats include scheduling issues with actors, equipment not working, or leaving preparation too close to filming. Opportunities presented are to review sample scripts and short films for inspiration.
question 1
The document discusses how a media group's thriller film trailer used and challenged conventions of the genre. They analyzed 15-20 thriller films like Insidious and Orphan to understand typical conventions like protagonists, antagonists, close-up shots, scare shots, fade ins/outs, jump cuts, and tense soundtracks. Their trailer used some conventions like flashbacks, jump cuts, fast pacing, scene transitions, dialogue, credits, and shots. However, they did not want to give too much of the story away or confuse viewers, so they kept it simple and did not fully challenge conventions by maintaining an unclear narrative like typical trailers.

Medium shots show actions and answer the "what" question, like a verb. Long shots provide the location to answer the "where" question. Extreme long shots can indicate the "when" question. Extreme close ups are used to answer the "why" question by showing a subject's internal thoughts. A series of shots can show the "how" question through a progression of actions. Editing between shots is like verbs, with cuts, dissolves and other transitions.
