The document summarizes a student film opening about a stalker. It describes key elements of the opening like the title "STALKER", locations both indoor and outdoor, costumes distinguishing the student and masked stalker, static camerawork and straight cuts, consistent font for titles, a simple linear narrative of a student being stalked and killed, horror and thriller genres, and the introduction of the main character and mysterious antagonist.

Conventions of a film opening sequence
Opening sequences aim to entice audiences to continue watching and establish characters and genre. Directors have many techniques at their disposal including flashbacks, establishing shots, narration, action scenes, chase scenes, production logos, title sequences, animation, compilation of photographs, increasing the narrative pace and content, and soundtracks. Unconventional openings can also be used to add mystery or artistic style.
I am legend elements
The document discusses the 2007 film I Am Legend starring Will Smith. It follows Robert Neville's struggle to find a cure after a plague wipes out humanity and turns survivors into monsters. The document analyzes how the film's mise-en-scene, including the scenery, props, costumes, and poster imagery effectively create a sense of doom, death, and suspense. A variety of camera shots are used to emphasize the environment and build tension. Music is also used to hint at upcoming action and fright without dialogue. All of these elements work together artistically to make the film a success, receiving four visual effect nominations.
Soft
The short film "Soft" depicts gang violence in a working-class neighborhood through the use of various camera shots and costumes. It uses a point-of-view shot to give the audience an intimate view of the main character's experiences and feelings. Aerial shots establish the setting as a working-class area where trouble may occur. Close-up shots emphasize characters' facial expressions to convey their emotions, such as after being beaten up. The gang members dress in "chavvy" tracksuits to distinguish themselves from others, while the father's suit marks him as a target due to being of a higher class than most in the town.
Evaluation Activity 1

The opening follows conventions used in other films to engage the audience and set the scene for the story.

How to read a film
This document provides an overview of key elements for analyzing films: story, setting, sound, color, character, and camera. It explains that story can be linear or non-linear, setting provides the context, sound conveys emotion, color impacts mood, character is revealed through appearance and behavior, and camera acts as the storyteller through shots and angles. Examples are given for each element to illustrate their roles in film analysis.
Film posters Research
This document analyzes a film poster and discusses elements that could be incorporated into the poster for the author's own short film. It notes key aspects of the poster such as a centered subject with a natural frame surrounding them, incorporating the character's safe item, and giving the character a worried facial expression to convey the film's themes. It also discusses design choices like encrypting text with images, including the director's name, using a bold title, and multiple layered images of varying opacity and size to portray the main character and idea of the film.
Evaluation 1
The document analyzes and evaluates the film opening created by the student. It discusses several elements of the opening including the use of credits, introduction of characters, props, story/narrative set up, editing, camerawork, and title of the film. It provides examples from real films to demonstrate how the student's opening develops or challenges conventions of the crime/thriller genre. Overall, the document offers a thorough review and analysis of the techniques used in the student's opening title sequence.
Evaluation Post 1
1) The film opening uses typical horror and thriller conventions like suspenseful music, quiet camerawork without shakes, and a masked antagonist to build mystery and tension.
2) The protagonist is introduced as a normal student character to make the audience relate to him, while the antagonist is only shown from behind at first to add suspense.
3) Different locations are used, both indoors and outdoors, with the protagonist ultimately killed alone in an isolated outdoor area as is common in horror films.
Presentation1
A title sequence is shown at the beginning of a film and introduces the main characters and production crew through graphics, images or video that relate to the plot. It is unique compared to end credits which just list text. The typical order of credits in a title sequence is financial company, production, director, main characters, casting director, and other roles. Titles can appear in many styles - some abstract, some giving subtle hints to the plot, or relating to the film's setting. Popular movies like Skyfall, Catch Me If You Can and The Fault in Our Stars employ unique title sequences.
Film language
This document discusses different types of film shots and how they are used to create meaning. It analyzes tracking shots, leading shots, tilt shots, over the shoulder shots, and two shots used in a short film project. Tracking shots follow a moving subject to create suspense and involvement. Leading shots use continuity to show a character in action. Tilt shots introduce a character's costume, props, and body language to demonstrate distress. Over the shoulder shots place characters in their setting during discussions. Two shots clearly show characters' body language, facial expressions, and location. Overall, the project successfully used these shots to capture the thriller/adventure genre and create meaning through visual storytelling.
Object costume arrangement
The document discusses props and items used in a photo shoot to represent an up-and-coming artist staying true to her roots. A wooden home sign was used to reflect her roots and staying true to herself despite success. A pearl necklace was one of Natalie's most sacred family possessions and fit the theme of using simple, basic items. A gray/white jumper was one of Natalie's favorite items of clothing and fit the basic color scheme of light shades.
Unfinished double page spread
The document describes the typical layout and components of a magazine article or interview, including a quote to entice readers, a byline crediting the writer, a standfirst providing an introduction, and a drop capital at the beginning of the text. The order of these elements is not consistent, with the quote, byline, and standfirst appearing in different positions at the start. An inverted masthead also identifies the magazine section.
Find your tribe
This document analyzes a person's favorite radio station, the region of county they live in, favorite type of music, ideal TV channels, future ambitions, age range, sexuality, and favorite magazine or newspaper to read.
Flat plan
This document appears to be a magazine, as it contains a contents page listing various sections such as articles on "Blowing up", "Checking Out", interviews, and puzzles. It also includes advertisements throughout and lists of gigs and tour dates in the USA. The magazine covers topics related to music and pop culture and is aimed at entertainment.
Media pack
Press Play is a monthly magazine with a readership of 97,023, mostly female (79%) and between the ages of 19-29 (76% ABC1). It has built a dedicated fan base since its launch through its coverage of a wide range of music, celebrity news and culture.

Brain storm
The document discusses a creative project about an illness that was made with friends. It mentions using various digital tools and technologies like cameras, microphones, and software during the production process. Challenges included limited resources, conventions being broken, and clashes of ideas that slowed filming down.
Questionaire
The document appears to be an original questionnaire for a music magazine that asks respondents about their favorite genre of music, how much they would pay for the magazine, how often it should be issued, whether they would subscribe, whether free gifts would make them more interested, their preferred term of address, whether they prefer longer or shorter articles, their preferred color scheme, what types of artists/bands they would like featured, and whether they want sections for crosswords or horoscopes. It also includes numbers that seem to be responses to the questions.
Magazine analysationnnn
The document describes the layout, style, and features of a magazine's contents page. It discusses the use of color schemes, simple and clear layouts, and prominent placement of subscription options to follow industry conventions. Regular articles and previews of music artists are highlighted as lures to attract readers. The tone varies between sections from quite formal to more informal language.
Magazine analysationnnn 2
The masthead is de-emphasized through using a similar grey color scheme to blend into the background, making the provocative main image stand out more. While following some conventions like placing cell lines on one side, other conventions like centering text are broken to feature the bold main image prominently.
Magazine analysationnnn
The document discusses the layout conventions followed in magazine covers. It analyzes several magazine covers, noting how each element like the masthead, main image, headlines, and barcodes are positioned in accordance with typical conventions. For example, the masthead is usually placed in the background to accentuate the main image, and barcodes are typically located in the bottom right corner. Across the magazine covers examined, the positioning and design of elements generally adheres to standard formatting practices while also appealing to the intended audiences.
Decades
The document summarizes several counterculture movements from the 1960s-1980s including mods, punks, and new romantics. Mod culture originated in the 1960s in England and was inspired by American R&B music and fashion styles from France and Italy. Conflicts arose between mods and rockers. Punk culture emerged in the 1970s defined by shocking fashion like leather and vinyl clothing and punk rock music pioneered by bands like the Sex Pistols and The Clash. Ideologies within punk culture ranged from anarchism to socialism to conservatism. In the 1980s, new romantic music was influenced by electronic genres and associated with clubs in London that enforced strict dress codes.
Reflection
We learned how to effectively lay out film posters and what key information to include to attract target audiences. For short films, the plot needs to engage viewers without becoming too long, and effective music and editing are important without overcomplicating the film. Analysing film reviews taught layouts that work and common rating systems. Overall, analysing other media products provided guidance for creating our own film and supporting materials by considering successful techniques from other works.

- 1. Snap!
- 2. Titles/Institution The films opening title is a simplistic white font, yet it is very bold and stands out. It reflects the film which itself is very simple and straightforward but makes a big impact. It grabs attention by being places directly in the middle of the screen as the film is on a freeze frame. The film is property of @2003 Shiva Productions.
- 3. Themes/Message(s) The film features a man stealing various cameras and running away with them to catch various shots of them and the expressions they show trying to retrieve whilst running after him. He sets up various obstacles for the pursuer to encounter along the way to set up certain action shots to take during the chase. The theme seems to be about beauty and art being all around us, by the man taking these photographs of everyday life and bringing substance to anything.
