Evaluation question2
The document discusses the main female character Raven in the opening sequence. Compared to typical thriller female characters who are damsels in distress, Raven defies stereotypes by being able to protect herself. While she shows some fear, a conventional female trait, she channels it into strength. Raven is also dressed in atypical "delinquent clothes" rather than the usual white worn by pure female characters. She challenges theories that women only exist for male amusement by not dressing in a sexually appealing way but to portray female strength. Overall Raven subverts expectations of weak, scared females needing rescue by being able to defend herself.

The jock is an athletic, popular character who often acts invincible but tends to die early in the film. The final girl is the sole survivor, who is strong-willed and influential.

Stock characters in horror films
This document discusses several common stock characters that appear in horror films. The wanderer is an aimless traveler who is often the first killed out of curiosity. The popular girl is well-liked but her popularity makes her vulnerable. The jock is a leader due to sports but also faces danger. The final girl is usually the last surviving female who confronts the killer. Pandora characters unlock secrets that endanger others. The pervert is sexually motivated and focused on partners over potential threats.
Representations in Horror Movies
Traditionally in horror films, women are portrayed as damsels in distress who are usually attacked and murdered for committing sinful acts. For example, in the film Carrie, Carrie White is bullied and tormented as an outsider while her religious mother sees female sexuality as sinful. However, with the rise of feminism, modern horror films now show powerful women as heroes and villains rather than only victims, reflecting societal changes in perceptions of women's roles. Whereas older films focused on gender representations, newer horror films emphasize global fears like terrorism and portray both men and women working together to overcome threats rather than dividing along gender lines.

question 2 : How does your media product represent particular social groups?
- The protagonist in the film subverts typical representations of females in horror by portraying a strong, sporty teenage girl rather than the usual weak and feminine targets.
- The character also represents black women from London, differing from the typical American setting and characters.
- While challenging some conventions, the protagonist also fits others like being a teenager and ending up isolated with the killer, to still engage the target audience.
- The antagonist resembles typical horror villains through his masked appearance and determination to kill, but is also portrayed as a troubled teenage boy to provide psychological motivation for his actions.
Gender representations Within Movies!
After analyzing many movie trailers and posters, the document finds that there are clear gender stereotypes in how women and men are portrayed in horror media. Women are often sexually objectified and depicted as emotional, while men are shown as tough and protective. Males usually take on active, leading roles, whereas females are usually part of a group and take passive, supporting roles. Additionally, women are often only young and white, while men can be depicted across ages, races and classes. However, the horror genre sometimes challenges these norms through characters like the "final girl", who can be more masculine and survive to the end.

Genre research.

It notes that males are typically portrayed heroically or villainously while females are usually victims or "final girls." It then analyzes the representations in its opening sequence, finding that one female character conforms to tropes as a vulnerable victim while the other subverts expectations as the aggressive villain.

Audience Feedback
The document summarizes audience feedback from a survey about horror movie trailers. It found that the target audience is teens aged 15-24 who enjoy watching horror films. The audience preferred the trailer for Final Destination because it had twists and turns that challenged expectations. They also felt that revenge was the best horror film theme. For the film title, the audience preferred "Penitence" because it relates to the plot without giving too much away.
Evaluation 1
Our horror trailer and poster followed conventions of the genre. The trailer had a four-part structure that explained the narrative and included enigma and narrative codes to leave audiences guessing what might happen. While the magazine cover provided some clues about the killer, the poster revealed little except a pig mask as evidence for audiences to learn more about in the film. Overall, the promotional materials adhered to horror conventions to qualify as part of the horror genre.
Audience feedback
The document provides feedback from three different sources on a student film trailer:
1) Classmates provided vocal and written feedback after an initial screening, noting things that worked well like the storyline but also areas for improvement like distinguishing character types.
2) A written feedback form rated different elements of the trailer and pointed out that while conventions were followed, stronger appeals to the target audience were needed.
3) An audience survey found the trailer appealed to both male and female viewers as intended, with a majority being male.
Exploration in genre
Genre refers to categories of media works that share similar elements. Graham Burton created an equation to define genres based on key elements like protagonists, stock characters, plot icons, situations, backgrounds, and themes. Genres have specific elements that define them, though some genres mix elements. For example, science fiction blends science facts with fictional storytelling. Horror films like Scream follow genre conventions but subvert audience expectations by having characters aware of those conventions. Stock characters are minor roles that audiences expect to see. Icons are especially important for identifying genres immediately, like blood and violence in horror. Genres are important for audiences and producers, as audiences prefer certain genres and producers can market films based on iconic genre elements.
Sound in blair witch project
The document discusses how sound is used in horror films to build tension and suspense. It specifically analyzes the use of sound in the trailer for The Blair Witch Project. The trailer relies on diegetic sounds from the characters and transitions between scenes to create an unsettling atmosphere without using music. It aims to engage a target audience of teenagers and young adults by allowing them to relate to the student characters and feel the same tension and confusion about what is happening to them.
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conv...
The document discusses the codes and conventions of thriller films, such as chase scenes, lighting, plot twists, tension, suspense, mysteries, and sounds. It then analyzes how the author's opening sequence for a film project both challenges and reinforces some of these conventions. It challenges conventions like setting and editing pace. However, it reinforces creating tension through building suspense with sounds and leaving mysteries at the end. Overall, the sequence challenges many conventions but retains some crucial thriller elements like tension and mystery.
Codes and conventions Comparison
The document discusses codes and conventions of thriller films, including chase scenes, low key lighting, plot twists, tension, suspense, mysteries, diegetic/non-diegetic sounds, silence, jump scares, being against the clock, and storms. It notes that while the opening sequence discussed does contain some thriller elements like tension and mysteries, it does not contain most of the typical thriller codes and conventions.
Media institutions and concept
The document discusses the differences between high concept and low concept films. The author believes their thriller film is a low concept film due to limited shots, angles and locations. Low concept films have smaller distributors like individual institutions pooling money, while high concept films have large recognizable distributors like Warner Bros. Choosing a smaller distributor for a low concept film allows targeting a specific audience and managing risks if the film does not perform as well, but it may be harder to earn back the production costs and the distributor is less known.
Film idea & opening sequence idea
The film idea is about a briefcase containing dangerous information that could overthrow the government. Four organizations - one good and three criminal - are after the briefcase. The opening sequence shows a member of a criminal organization being tasked to retrieve the briefcase. Over the course of the film, the protagonist travels across cities and countries to try to protect the briefcase from the antagonists. There is a twist where a friend of the protagonist is revealed to be working with the criminals. In the climax, the protagonist kills his friend and saves the government by securing the briefcase.
What i had learnt opening sequences
Opening sequences set the tone and provide context for the genre and story. Thrillers often start with low-key lighting to build tension, while comedies establish the setting and introduce characters with high-key lighting. Films also use iconic images that signal the genre to viewers. The openings provide insights into the plot and climax near the end to engage the audience and make them want to see how their initial questions are resolved. Learning these conventions will help in creating an effective opening sequence for a thriller film that sets the scene and builds suspense.
Lucy film analysis
The document provides a film analysis of the movie "Lucy." It summarizes the opening scene showing evolution from a single cell to modern civilization. It then describes how the main character Lucy is forced by her boyfriend to deliver a suitcase, metaphorically represented by an antelope being chased and killed by a cheetah, showing Lucy as prey. The analysis discusses conventions used, like binary opposition and suspense, with Lucy's kidnapping by antagonists representing how women are portrayed as the weaker protagonists. It leaves questions about what will happen to Lucy and what is in the suitcase to keep the audience engaged.
Codes and conventions for Thriller Films
The document discusses some common codes and conventions of the thriller genre. It describes how thrillers typically feature a protagonist and antagonist in opposition, with the protagonist experiencing misfortune at the hands of the antagonist. This creates tension and suspense building towards a climactic confrontation. Thrillers aim to keep audiences on the edge of their seats, wondering what will happen. Common elements include chase scenes, low-key lighting, plot twists, tension, mysteries, diegetic/non-diegetic sounds, silence, jump scares, and elements like rain or storms adding to the tension. Editing, mise-en-scene, sound, and camera work are used to lack information and keep audiences feeling uncomfortable, not knowing what

Stock characters
- 2. What are they? Stock characters within horror films are characters who have a lead role that pop up the most throughout the film. They the protagonists but due to some of their attitudes, they can fall into the clutches of the killer who is the main character. These characters include: The popular girl The jock The final girl The pervert The wanderer Pandora The victims
- 3. The jock Mainly seen in teenaged horror films, the jock is seen as a stereotype of an athlete who is physically seen as tall, beefy and fairly strong. In most horror films, they usually have an on-and- off relationship with the popular girl which is carried out from the beginning where the killer takes his fist victim. However, as well as having the strength and body structure, they are usually the arrogant, dumb and self obsessed character within the group.
- 4. The popular girl In every group there is an overly feminine character who is extremely liked by the majority. They are seen to be worshipped by other stock characters (including the jock) and are always focused on their appearance. On most occasions they are spoiled, rude and extremely catty towards most characters and believe that they are the better looking out of the rest of them. Although, their attitude is what causes them to become one of the victims of the killers in most horror films.
- 5. The wanderer This stock character is the character who is most likely to be killed off first. In every dangerous situation, they always wander off from the rest of the group into either their own world, or because they are curious of what is going on in the matter. Due to them being isolated to from the group, they are less likely to be able to fight off the killer once in contact with them leading them to their inevitable doom.
- 6. The pervert This character is sometimes seen to be one of the last to be killed off. Throughout horror films (mainly teenaged ones), this stock character is always male who is seen to be flirtatious towards both the final girl and the popular girl and the wanderer depending on the gender. This character is mostly seen to be killed around the same time as the popular girl due to them being the most sexually attracted.
- 7. Pandora This manipulative character is the dark horse of the group. Mainly seen as a female, this character is two-faced. Throughout most of the film, they are sweet, innocent and sometimes disappears when the group is actively trying to find a solution to escape the murderer. However, the character is the big plot twist of the horror film because in most horrors, they are the killer. Their kind and innocent personality is the perfect cover for the group to not suspect that they are the killer until the final girl finally realizes that it was the Pandora character.
- 8. The final girl This character holds the main lead role in the group who is the last surviving person in the group after the killers’ killing spree. She is the brightest out of the group giving her benefits avoid the killer. The horror film shows her going through stages of fear and strength in order to defend herself from the killer and to stay alive for as long as she can. She also finds out who the killer is (pandora) and tries to murder the killer to save herself and others in the future.
