Short film - analysis
The film Mémorable uses stop-motion animation to portray a man's experience with Alzheimer's disease. Through surreal visuals, we see him slowly lose his memory and his grasp on reality, which strains his relationship with his wife. His character and the world around him become increasingly abstract and unrecognizable as the disease progresses. Though he loses awareness of nearly everything else, his deep love for his wife is the last thing to remain clear in his mind.
Brick Analysis
This film introduces a mysterious death of a girl found in a stream near a school. The opening leaves many unanswered questions for the audience around who killed the girl and how the main character boy may be involved. Various shots and sounds are used to build tension and anxiety without revealing crucial plot details, confusing the audience and making them want to learn more. Key objects and interactions between characters are shown that may provide clues later in the film, further intriguing viewers about what secrets might be uncovered.

The short film Jade focuses on a character feeling isolated for being different and explores issues like isolation, fear, and sexuality. It uses fragmented sequences to portray the character's thoughts and feelings as she tries to understand herself and how she truly feels. Though only 5 minutes, the detailed storyline and creative elements make the viewer want to keep watching to uncover the secrets and lies until the end. The film employs artistic techniques like mise-en-scene and pathetic fallacy to heighten the empathetic theme, and uses naturalistic camera work and sound design to draw the audience into the character's emotions and struggles with being homophobic.

Analysis 3
The document analyzes the poster for "The Last Exorcism Part II". It summarizes that the poster features a woman in a distorted, inhuman position to suggest possession. Her pale, bruised skin further implies an evil spirit within. The cracked background and tagline "The second coming" leave the nature of the threat ambiguous. Dark, gloomy colors and shadows create an eerie atmosphere fitting for a possession horror film. Religious symbols like rosary beads on the woman show that even the devout are not safe.
Film Poster Analysis Gothika
The document provides an analysis of a movie poster:
1) The main image depicts the lead actress pressed against a blank screen with raindrops, suggesting she is trapped or struggling with her mental state.
2) Stylistic elements like the font and colors used evoke a chilling and sinister tone to portray the psychological thriller genre.
3) Including famous actors like Halle Berry is meant to draw audiences to the film based on the stars' popularity, even with a relatively simple poster design.
Opening sequence analysis- The Sixth Sense
The opening sequence of The Sixth Sense establishes the characters, setting, themes and genre through its use of camerawork and lighting. Shots of the protagonists' home present them as normal people living in a quaint house, creating a false sense of security. Dark lighting and shots that make the characters seem vulnerable later subvert this equilibrium and establish the psychological thriller genre. The sequence uses lighting contrasts and camera angles to represent characters and events in a way that intrigues audiences and makes them want to see more.
Thriller poster analysis
The document provides an analysis of a movie poster in three paragraphs:
1) It describes a mysterious tall man in the background of the poster who cannot be clearly seen, suggesting he is a secretive spy.
2) It notes the use of black and white/gray colors give a sinister feel and represent a dark film with possible death, while orange text makes the film title and actor's name stand out.
3) It analyzes elements like a pistol merging with the foreground, words written in blood, a bitter-sweet smile drawn in blood, and misty glass that make the poster and character cryptic, foreshadowing violence and a twisted character in the film.
Extended Step Outline Debriefing
The document discusses the development of an extended step outline for a crime/thriller film. It describes analyzing films like Taken and Now You See Me for inspiration. The original plot involved the main character Isaac hunting those who didn't accept his innocence after becoming sociopathic, but the outline worked better if Isaac remained innocent. Elements like lighting, costumes, tattoos, and sound were used to convey deeper meanings and messages to the audience. Specific scenes are discussed where techniques like dramatic irony and high key lighting were effectively employed. While editing was a challenge, transitions and jump cuts were used to suggest time passing and create surreal feelings. Overall, micro-elements were enjoyed but some scenes had deeper meanings than others. Inspiration was
Purpose
The purpose of the film was primarily to make money by entertaining audiences through horror and terrifying them. It also aimed to educate viewers not to enter random caves. The genre is horror, shown through dark scenery, monsters, and jump scares. It also explores relationships and betrayal. The best form for the story is a film rather than a book, as it relies on visuals like darkness and jump scares that cannot be described effectively in text. The film uses techniques like blue lighting, sound effects, music, and fake caves to set the scene and elicit emotions from audiences by making them feel uncomfortable or demonstrating how lost and panicked the characters are.
mise en scene hans beckert
This scene from the 1931 film M introduces the character Hans Beckert, the child murderer antagonist, through his large shadow splayed across a warning poster. The shadow's dominance and human shape indicate this is the person being sought. The orderly shapes of the poster and surface are disrupted by Beckert's organic shadow blob. The neutral eye-level angle and low-density image create a sense of primal fear and imply the helpless adults feel against this hidden threat within their community. The form of the scene suggests Beckert is both a threat and trapped by his criminal identity and the consequences of his crimes.
Briefing On Influences
Paul Bennet's underground films inspired the filmmaker, especially how Bennet used true stories and themes about rough neighborhoods and youth to create dramas with an underlying sinister tone without horror clichés. Bennet also used unorthodox shot types that suited his pieces' themes well. The filmmaker aims to lower saturation and vibrancy in shots, as Bennet did, to help convey a harsher tone and mood for their short film.
Killer presentation
This document analyzes how film posters convey genre and ideology in horror films. It examines posters for the films "Smiley" and "Friday the 13th" focusing on the portrayal of the killer (protagonist). Key elements analyzed include colors, costumes, typography, setting, and whether they create mystery, excitement, or convey the slasher horror genre. The conclusion is that horror posters typically portray the male killer as wearing a mask to hide identity and distance themselves from society while using dark colors to represent the unknown and scare the audience.
Q5
The document provides a detailed summary and analysis of the opening shots of a film. It describes how various camera shots, props, lighting, sounds, and character expressions are used to immerse the audience and create tension. The opening shot establishes the protagonist's desire to escape his current lifestyle, as indicated by photos in his apartment. Subsequent close-up shots of his tattoo, hands washing, and facial expressions suggest he is restless and about to do something dangerous. The credits sequence shows the city at night from his point of view to further the ominous tone as the audience questions his intentions.
Coursework eval2
The document discusses how social groups are represented in a media production. It represents youth as mysterious and scary, shown through the behavior of the boys exploring and a frightening young girl. White people are represented simply by being the race of all characters. Deceased people are portrayed as very pale and scary, belonging more to the underworld than the living world, according to the music. Youth innocence is enhanced through the set design of a young girl's room, while makeup transforms the girl into a deathly creature.
Opening sequence analysis- What Lies Beneath
The opening sequence of What Lies Beneath establishes the setting, characters, genre, and themes through various film techniques. It introduces the protagonist through a reaction shot in the bath and establishes the importance of water through title cards and camerawork. Low key lighting and isolation of the house location communicate the psychological thriller genre and dark themes. Characterization of the leading couple's happiness sets up the story's equilibrium before it is disrupted.
Final Idea Evaluation
This document evaluates the pros and cons of a final film idea. It discusses how using a wooded setting would appeal to audiences by creating an eerie atmosphere for the thriller genre. However, filming in the woods at night could present safety issues. Additionally, having a female-led cast may limit appeal to male audiences, though it could provide "visual pleasure." Overall, the document concludes the idea has potential for success if the discussed challenges are addressed during planning and production.
Summer song by scarlett parade
The music video "Summer Song" by Scarlett Parade tells a story of betrayal through ambiguous flashbacks that blur the lines between reality and illusion. There are two main characters, a girl named Sophie who may or may not be alive, and a boy named Jacob who may have accidentally hit her with his car and left the scene. The narrative is told through flashbacks that take the story back in time, leaving it unclear whether certain scenes depict real events or memories. This ambiguity is meant to encourage the audience to question unreliable memory and shape their own interpretations.
Textual analysis of 2 soap opera trailers
This document provides an analysis of two soap opera trailers. For the first Eastenders trailer, the analysis notes the use of non-diegetic music and sound effects to create suspense. It examines the camera shots, lighting, and facial expressions used to convey uncertainty and unease. Regarding the second Hollyoaks trailer, the analysis discusses the fast-paced music, dialogue clips leaving viewers on cliffhangers, and lighting/costumes reflecting moods. It evaluates strengths of each, such as tracking shots capturing attitude, and says the changing settings and cliffhangers entice viewers without linking plots.
Copy of evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the author's short film uses conventions of real media to tell its story. It follows Todorov's theory of cyclical storytelling. The main characters start alone and end alone in equilibrium. The film introduces a disturbance in the form of "the girl" character. It establishes the male character as a loner traveling alone through a field. His meeting and inability to communicate with the French girl propels him back to his starting solitary state, creating a comedic cyclical narrative structure.
Recurring patterns
The document discusses the German Expressionist film movement of the 1920s. It reflects the isolation Germany experienced during WWI through abstract psychological landscapes and distorted scenes representing characters' states of mind. Many German filmmakers then emigrated to Hollywood and subtly adapted these techniques into 'B' films, influencing the new era of 'Film Noir' through shadows and lighting. Film Noir crime dramas were stylish Hollywood films from the 1940s-1950s influenced by German Expressionism's visual style using shadows and low key lighting to highlight situations and emotions.
Media 9 shots
The main character is a doll who seems innocent but suggests an underlying evil nature, contradicting how children are typically portrayed. She is presented differently than other characters, as if not fully alive or human. The film has elements of both horror and fantasy - horror due to its dark and unpleasant events suggested by props like scissors and pins, and fantasy through the unrealistic actions and characters. The dull, beige atmosphere and unsettling soundtrack build tension as the film introduces its unusual main character through a sequence of her sewing her own face.
1. initial plans sf 2017
Rhys Sadler-Scott is planning an initial film project that could focus on one of three ideas: 1) A teenager struggling with depression and dark thoughts as a clock ticks down. 2) Teenagers taking dance practice too far in an over-the-top energetic comedy. 3) An old woman who is bored and waiting to pass away in a slow, methodical film with comedic elements. Rhys has created a mood board with pictures influenced by each idea to help determine tone, cinematography, and shooting style. Rhys will also research silent films, behaviors of depressed individuals, and film noir techniques to help develop the chosen idea without dialogue and establish tone through camera work.
Question 2
This document discusses how the media product represents particular social groups. Specifically, it focuses on representing young teenage girls associated with fashion culture as the victim in a thriller opening. Locations like an abandoned wood and dark estate were chosen to suggest tension and lower social class. Dark lighting was used to metaphorically suggest the victim's feelings. The victim wears everyday dark clothes to appear vulnerable yet match the low financial status of residents. In contrast, the killer subverts expectations by also being a young female, challenging the male killer stereotype.
Pitch
A college student returns home after being missing for a year with no memory of what happened. He experiences flashbacks to being kidnapped but doesn't know his identity or what occurred during the missing year. He tries to reintegrate into his life and solve the mystery of his kidnapping. The film will follow his attempts to piece together what happened through investigating friends and the woman thought to be involved, all while dealing with psychological and identity issues stemming from the trauma. It will appeal to a young audience through addressing fitting in and finding oneself while maintaining an intriguing mystery and thriller elements.

AS-Media: Pitch presentation- Anonymous
This pitch proposes a film about a student named Becky who becomes stalked by a fellow classmate, both in person and online. Becky is heavily engaged with social media and does not realize that her online actions have consequences in the real world. The stalker's identity and motives are unknown. Visually, the film is proposed to have a neo-noir, psychological thriller style with low key lighting and a black and white color palette. Sound-wise, white noise would be used instead of music, with score added in suspenseful moments to build tension, similar to Gone Girl. The goal is to show the dark side of social media in a unique way that has not been done before.
Media2014 poster analysis
The poster depicts the haunted Amityville house looming over the main character George, showing his submission to the house's power. It uses stylistic choices like grainy textures and tilted angles to portray the house as a sinister, otherworldly force. While adhering to horror poster conventions like central images and taglines, it also hints at the film twisting expectations through unsettling details like the distorted words "Katch 'em and Kill 'em" emerging from George's unstable mind. The poster aims to draw in audiences familiar with the true story with iconic imagery and text, while also sparking intrigue and fear through its disturbing implications about the corrupting influence of the haunted house.
What is a Thriller
A thriller is a genre aimed at building suspense and keeping audiences guessing. They use twists, turns, and misleading clues to confuse viewers and get their adrenaline pumping. While thrillers and horror movies are sometimes confused, thrillers focus more on plot and character development, while horror emphasizes gore. Shutter Island uses an asylum escape and Teddy's flashbacks and hallucinations to create uncertainty. The Departed builds tension as the audience learns the identities of "rats" before the characters do. Gone Baby Gone features a missing child case in a rough Boston neighborhood and uses lighting, camerawork, and facial expressions to convey feelings of tension.
Research of slasher movie tropes
The document discusses several common character archetypes and conventions in slasher movies:
- The Jock is often seen as the false hero who fails to save the group. The Stoner provides comic relief. The Token Minority and Promiscuous Girl are often the first killed. The Main Male and Final Girl are the most sympathetic and often the last surviving.
- Common locations include haunted houses, cabins, and woods. The Killer wears a mask and uses weapons to dominate victims. A group of friends is formed that gets killed one by one.
- German Expressionist films used symbolism and shadows to add atmosphere and deeper meanings that still influence horror films today.

It summarizes that the poster focuses on the haunted house as the source of evil, with the large looming house taking up over half the image and the main character George appearing small below it. The poster conveys how the house is corrupting and controlling George physically and mentally through imagery like the light radiating from the house and his hunched, pained body language. Unusual aspects like only showing part of the image and the placement of text are analyzed as representing the deterioration of George's mental state and thoughts as the house's influence takes hold of him.

Horror film poster and magazine analyses
This document analyzes and summarizes various elements of horror film posters and magazines. It discusses conventions like using masked or anonymous villains to create mystery, employing religious or innocent themes that are then subverted, and depicting victims or vulnerable characters like children to generate fear. Color schemes, fonts, images and other visual elements are examined for how they convey danger, isolation, and other horror tropes to promote intrigue in the films and grab readers' attention.
Evaluation Question 1
This document analyzes the filmmakers' use of conventions from thriller movies in their short film. It discusses how they incorporated simple opening titles, point-of-view shots, vanishing points, chiaroscuro lighting, isolated exterior locations, confined interior spaces, flashbacks/dream sequences, and binary oppositions between characters and locations. Examples are given of how similar techniques were used effectively in movies like Once Upon a Time in America, The Killing, and No Country For Old Men. The analysis aims to show how borrowing conventions from acclaimed thrillers helped make their short film feel more authentic to the genre.

2) Key elements that convey horror include isolated or domestic settings at night, psychologically damaged characters, and narratives focusing on themes of good vs. evil.
3) Horror posters also employ techniques like distorted images, implied true stories, and ominous quotes to attract and unnerve audiences.
Evaluation Q.2
The document analyzes the representation of social groups in the opening of a media product. It discusses how the protagonist is portrayed as a typical 17-year old female teenager to make her more relatable to audiences. While originally intended to be a "Scream Queen" character, portraying her as a more normal teenager aligns her more with the "Final Girl" trope. The antagonist is atypically portrayed as a female teenager as well, creating narrative mystery around her threatening behavior. The document notes the characters only represent certain nationalities, sexualities, and ethnicities due to limitations but states expanding representation could be possible in a full film.
Evaluation 2
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in the film. Men are portrayed as the weaker sex since they are victims of the female killer. This challenges stereotypes of men being stronger. Women are also challenged as the villain is a female killer, subverting expectations. The detective is male following stereotypes, while the victims are male portraying them as weaker physically. Point of view shots are used to give perspectives of both the detective and killer. Older actors are cast in lead roles challenging expectations of younger leads. Ethnic diversity is limited due to the rural setting aiming for realism. Regional stereotypes are presented with the killer from the countryside and detective from the city, seen as more civilized. Overall the film aims

Short film - storyboard development
The document discusses storyboards and their purpose in film pre-production. It explains that storyboards are drawings of each planned shot accompanied by descriptions of the action and dialogue. This allows directors to make important decisions in advance, like composition, camera angles, and blocking, and essentially pre-edit the film. While storyboards don't have to be strictly followed, they provide an overall view of the story and inform the crew. However, some directors feel storyboards eliminate spontaneity that can lead to new ideas.
Short film - shotlist development

Script development - version 2
The document discusses script development for a screenplay. It outlines changes made, including adding a new scene that conveys meaning through body language and camera placement rather than dialogue. Transitions between scenes still need work to feel natural. Editing shots to evoke emotion could help establish rhythm. Another section that was changed involves the trigger for the main character to exit the bus, in order to build mystery around a recurring figure and motivate the character's broken state. Effective scenes withhold just enough information to engage audiences without providing too much or too little detail.
Script - darft
The document provides feedback on improving the initial draft of a screenplay. It notes that character development needs more focus, as the main character lacks demonstrated deeper motivations and goals. It suggests adding an additional scene to provide more character information and balance the tempo. The narrative also feels fragmented and could be strengthened by outlining themes and finding correlations. Flashbacks are replaced with surreal visions to tap deeper into the human psyche. The ending lacks a key piece of introduced information but still brings narrative closure. More could be done to establish a sense of being lost and lack of motive throughout the film.
Genre codes and conventions
This document discusses the genre of mystery/drama films and provides examples. It notes that mystery/drama offers elements of both genres, with an emphasis on dramatic storylines and conflict as the base. The mystery element creates engagement and intrigue by withholding key information from audiences. Technical elements common to the genre include low-key lighting, fast-paced editing, diegetic sound, handheld camera movements, and slow pacing/long takes. The document analyzes a scene from the film Amour that sets up mystery through withholding information and deliberate camera movements, creating intrigue and evoking psychological responses from audiences.
Final synopsis - Short Film
The story follows a young man wandering the lonely city streets as night falls. He feels lost and disconnected from himself and the world. He sees a mysterious figure passing in the shadows that he follows, desperately longing for human connection. His journey leads to an "absolute downfall" for which he is responsible. As it begins to rain, the street lights bleed into the dark sky, washing away bruises of the past but scraping him raw and exposing a deep truth he has been seeking.
Initial Ideas for a Short film
The document proposes three potential short film ideas:
1) "In the Still of the Night" follows a mafia gathering discussing rumors of a hitman, cutting between the present and past depictions of the hitman's assassinations.
2) "The Hunger Artist" adapts Kafka's short story about a performer who fasts for the public's entertainment until he is no longer appreciated.
3) "Photographer" follows a photographer's daily routine of capturing people in a city over one day, showing how their lives change between the morning and evening.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Short film - character profiles
- 1. Character Profiles Pre-production By Adam Kalabiska A Level Media Studies
- 2. Background The main character in its entirety is completely engulfed in mystery, no past, and we as the audience, in contrast to Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Bomb Theory’, are never one step ahead of the character and instead all information is being revealed to them at the same rate as for the character. Though it is indeed a mystery and the key themes of the genre are deeply imbedded in the core of the not just the character, but his journey as well, this in my opinion creates a significantly more united experience. As a rather introspective individual, he spends a lot of his time living in and exploring the depths of his own mind. This however leads him to rather dark corners and generally results in him being somewhat of an outcast in society, as he may seem absent minded. One would be forgiven for thinking that he simply doesn’t have much interest in the world and people around him, but you couldn’t be more wrong. The reason however for him being such way, though not clear and being explored throughout the course of the film, may actually be due to his past, which is haunted with dark memories and painful experiences. And yet he tries to keep moving forward. That in and of it self, is a key theme present in this film, represented by the constant forward moving momentum of the story which is obviously being informed directly by his actions, as story is action and action is character. Nevertheless, what we witness in this film is very much him reaching his limits, as his past has come back to haunt him to his core one last time. Memories of Murder 2003
