This document provides an introduction to key concepts in film studies, including definitions of film and what constitutes a movie. It discusses Peircian semiotics and the three modes of signs: icons, indexes, and symbols. It also summarizes important concepts like mise-en-scene, editing, camera shots, the gaze, and cinematic space. It then outlines several approaches to film theory as well as genres like film noir, female melodrama, and gothic films. It concludes by discussing theories of adaptation from literature to film.
Genre theory
This document discusses genre theory in film. It defines genre as a category or type of film defined by structural and thematic elements that allow audiences to identify common traits. While genres aim to organize films, sub-genres have emerged that combine elements of different genres. This allows for more experimental hybrid genres but makes categorization less clear-cut. The document also profiles several theorists' perspectives on genre, including that genres can restrict creativity but provide predictability valued by audiences.
The history of the genre of murder mystery
The history of the murder mystery genre in film can be broken into four periods: 1900s-1940s which saw the earliest films based on books like Sherlock Holmes; 1940s-1950s where films grew darker and more violent; 1960s-1970s brought modern updates and period pieces as well as science fiction influences; and 1980s to present saw the emergence of neo-noir, psycho-noir, and LA police detective stories set in the 1930s-1950s with a harder edge.

This document defines key film theory terms and discusses their relevance to the student's A2 film work. It addresses genre, narrative, representation, audience and media language. For each term it provides a definition, explains the relevance to the student's short film "The Invisible Dog," and includes a quote from a theorist. The genres of the film include comedy and tragedy. The narrative follows Aristotle's beginning, middle, end structure and leaves the audience questioning. Representation considers how the work will be portrayed. Audience examines who will view the film and from what perspective. Media language discusses using appropriate terminology to discuss ideas.

This document discusses key concepts related to postmodernism, dystopia, genre theory, and crime genres in film. Postmodernism challenges conventions through non-linear narratives, anti-heroes, and pastiche. Dystopian films present futuristic catastrophes and totalitarian rule to give viewers a hyperrealistic experience of environmental or social fears. Genre theory categorizes films but postmodern films hybridize genres. Crime genres evolved from gangster films of the 1920s-1980s to postmodern blends in the 1990s that mixed past and present styles.

This document provides an introduction to the concept of film genre. It discusses genre as a contested area of film theory with academic debate around its definition and implications. A common definition of genre films as those that tell familiar stories with familiar characters through repetition and variation is examined and found to be problematic as it is too broad. The example of film noir is explored, with arguments that it is a style that can be present in different genres, rather than a distinct genre itself. The concept of genre is noted to be an abstract one rather than something that empirically exists.
Story and Writing
This document discusses various concepts related to storytelling and filmmaking, including the differences between story and plot, points of view in narratives, adaptations of literature to film, and types of documentaries. It provides examples of motifs in films like water in The Graduate. It also outlines the three main types of literary adaptations - loose, faithful, and literal. Finally, it notes how modern documentaries differ from early documentary films by imposing narrative structures on real footage rather than simply recording events.
Summarised theory list
Formalist film theory analyzes the technical elements of a film like lighting, editing, sound and how they work together to create effects and communicate ideas to the audience. It looks at how individual elements or the synthesis of multiple elements like editing, shot composition and music in Sergio Leone's films build tension. Formalism embraces both ideological and auteurist criticism by focusing on style, either how socioeconomic pressures influence a style or how directors put their personal stamp on material. Alfred Hitchcock is cited as an example of an auteur with a distinct style seen in his editing, camerawork and themes.

This document provides an overview of micro features that should be analyzed in four films to understand how they construct narrative and themes. It instructs the reader to use their analysis sheets and resources to establish how sound, cinematography, editing, and mise-en-scene like dialogue, camera work, lighting, and setting help convey the straight linear narrative, narrative setup, order, and representation of characters and themes like violence, redemption, and social issues. Specific questions are provided as examples to analyze how these micro features construct the narrative. The document also lists relevant narrative theories and directs the reader to identify similarities and differences in how the directors constructed the narrative through these techniques.
Genres
This document discusses genres in film. It defines genre as a system of symbols or themes that allow audiences to recognize certain expectations within a style, like westerns being associated with cowboys and desert landscapes. Genres can be flexible and combine elements, like Terminator 2 blending science fiction and human/robot themes. Common film genres mentioned include science fiction, horror, comedy, action, war, and western. Science fiction is described as future-oriented and dystopian. Horror uses dark settings and sudden scares. Comedy genres vary but Dumb and Dumber exemplifies stupid humor.
Genre in film
This document discusses different genres in film including westerns, comedy, horror and more. It provides definitions of genre as a way to categorize and set expectations for films. Genre theory is said to have developed from Andre Basin's work analyzing westerns. The document also questions whether genres represent a fixed taxonomy or allow for new genres to emerge over time. It then analyzes examples from the films The Other Guys and Mirrors to show how they employ techniques common to the comedy and horror genres.
Film Theory
Film theory explores how film relates to reality and other art forms, as well as how viewers and society interact with film. Early film theorists in the silent era defined key elements of the medium and argued that film was a valid art form in its own right. Marxist film theory examines how films can promote Marxist ideas through techniques like montage and radical editing. Lev Kuleshov conducted an influential experiment demonstrating how editing can change the audience's interpretation of shots by cutting between an actor's expression and different contextual images.
A2 Film theory
This document provides an overview of several film theory approaches, including feminist film theory, Marxist film theory, postcolonial film theory, psychoanalytic film theory, social realist film theory, structuralist film theory, and formalist film theory. It discusses key thinkers and concepts for each approach, such as Laura Mulvey's concept of the "male gaze" in feminist film theory, Karl Marx's views on class struggles and materialism in Marxist film theory, and the exploration of how meaning is constructed through codes and conventions in structuralist film theory. Overall, the document outlines several major theoretical lenses used to analyze films and their representations or themes.
Burton’s genre theory
Burton's genre theory proposes that genres can be defined by key elements such as protagonists, stock characters, predictable plots, icons, background/décor, and themes. These elements recur across examples of a genre to create expectations for audiences and allow genres to be categorized. The theory provides a formula to define genres based on the combination of these elements. An analysis of three horror films found they shared many of Burton's proposed key elements for the genre, supporting that his theory can accurately describe and define genres.
History of thriller powerpoint
The document traces the history and evolution of thriller films. It notes that early thrillers from the 1920s-1930s typically featured a single villain and hero, but modern thrillers incorporate more hybrid genres and shared themes. Character types have also expanded from classic villain/hero roles to include gangs, assassins, terrorists and mentally disturbed individuals. While core thriller themes around topics like terrorism and dysfunctional relationships have remained consistent, the use of sub-genres has increased, allowing for a wider variety of themes through genres like action thrillers, psychological thrillers, and political thrillers.
Med
The document discusses several common conventions in slasher films. It describes the trope of the "final girl", who is typically the last survivor and is portrayed as pure in contrast to her promiscuous friends who are killed. It also discusses the antagonist monster/killer who is often concealed and portrayed as inhumanly strong. Other common tropes mentioned are the group of attractive friends who are punished for their vices, isolated locations like woods and abandoned buildings that feel close to home, and a benefactor character who guides the final girl. The document also discusses how German Expressionism and Film Noir influenced horror filmmaking through their use of lighting, shadows, and sense of paranoia.
Film genre
Film genres can be categorized in several ways including by setting, theme, mood, format, and target audience. Some common genres are comedy, thriller, horror, action, adventure, sci-fi, romance, musical, and documentary. Genres can also be combined to create hybrid genres or branch out into subgenres. While setting is one way to categorize genres, the same setting can be used to create very different films depending on the themes and moods explored.

Narrative theories and thriller conventions as
Vladimir Propp analyzed over 100 Russian fairytales and proposed that it was possible to classify characters into clearly defined roles and functions, such as the hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, and princess. While some films like Star Wars fit Propp's model precisely, others like Pulp Fiction do not. Tzvetan Todorov suggested most narratives follow a pattern of equilibrium, disequilibrium, attempted repair, and new equilibrium. Roland Barthes analyzed how narratives work with codes that activate meaning for the audience, such as denote, connote, action, and enigma. Claude Levi-Strauss examined how myths reflect the values and beliefs of a culture through symbolic binary oppositions like homesteaders vs
Genre theory 1
Genre theory helps categorize media texts based on common elements and allows audiences and institutions to identify what they want to consume. There are several key aspects of genres including iconography, narrative structure, representation of characters and stereotypes, and underlying ideologies. However, genre is not static - it is constantly evolving as genres hybridize and borrow from each other, making categorization more difficult over time. While genre theory provides a framework for studying, developing and marketing media, it can also constrain creativity by forcing works to conform to established genres.

Creative Critical Reflection 1.pptx
The film is a neo-noir crime thriller that uses several conventions of the genre, such as low-key lighting, unusual camera angles, and an urban nighttime setting. It features a detective protagonist who challenges the convention of typically being male. The opening scene shows a crime having occurred. While most conventions are followed, such as costumes, music, and clues being left by the murderer, the film challenges conventions by having a female detective as protagonist and starting after the murder occurs rather than showing it. The film represents women, who make up a large part of the audience for psychological thrillers and true crime media. It deals with the issues of homicide, murder, and city crime.

- 2. • Type of documentary: Mixed • Themes: Piercings, Tattoos, individuality • Narrative Structure: This documentary has a linear structure as it follows the story of a man’s childhood. He is fascinated by piercings and tattoo's and ends up owning his own business in the industry. • Camerawork: Close ups, extreme close ups of tattoo's, piercings etc. Handheld camerawork throughout the majority of the doc. Interviews are taken from a low angle to express dominance and follows the rule of thirds shot to close up talking head shots.
- 3. Mise-en-scene: During the interview, set in a tattoo parlour with graffiti and images on the wall added to the ‘punk, individual’ image that was being portrayed throughout the documentary. The use of low key lighting created a dark and mysterious theme around the idea of tattoo’s. Different locations were used that portrayed the same theme, these being other tattoo parlours. Sound: Non-diegetic sound, this included the punk rock and metal music being played in the background. This linked in with the people involved in this documentary and followed the genre of this documentary. Archive Material: images of piercing that have gone wrong. Graphics: they use a green screen to give some of the interviews a more suitable backdrop as shown in the image.
