The narrative structure of the film has two halves, with the first focusing on Sarah's backstory and mental issues to contextualize her, and the second featuring the characters exploring caves and encountering horrific moments with the crawlers. Jump scares are created by the crawlers appearing suddenly accompanied by screeching sounds. This film does not follow Toderov's narrative theory of beginning in equilibrium, introducing chaos, having a realization, and restoring equilibrium, as the characters are killed by the monsters before a resolution can be reached.

Abidur proposes a thriller/mystery opening involving the character Tre being strangled by an intruder while watching TV, with tense violin music building to a climax. Me proposes a sci-fi/thriller opening following Tre as he rushes out the door while a radio reports mass disappearances. Ammr and Aferdita consider but decide against a romantic comedy exploring a homosexual Muslim man facing an arranged marriage.
Film trailer anlaysis #2
The trailer uses fast-paced editing and a contrast between happy, upbeat music and tense, ominous sounds to build suspense. It provides just enough glimpses of the plot to intrigue viewers without giving too much away. Scenes of characters preparing and then being chased cut together rapidly to excite audiences and leave them wanting more information.
Huckleberry woods storyboard
This storyboard is for a film trailer called "Huckleberry Woods". It consists of a series of very short clips between 1-5 seconds each, showing two YouTubers investigating rumors in the woods. The clips gradually depict the girls encountering a demonic presence through scenes of one being dragged away and the other finding signs of danger. Intercut with these scenes are shots of the girls screaming and looking terrified. The trailer ends by revealing the presence has followed one of the girls home to attack her as well.
Media analysis
The Paranormal Activity 2 teaser trailer effectively establishes the horror genre through mysterious footage and jump scares. It uses footage from security cameras in a house to show spooky events like a dog barking at something invisible. Throughout the trailer, subtitles directly address the audience to draw them in and hint that more scares are coming. The fast-paced montage of shots and unsettling sound effects and music build tension without revealing too much of the plot, as is typical for a teaser trailer. Overall, the trailer successfully whets viewers' appetite for more frights from the film.
analysis of an opening sequence 3
The opening sequence of The Devil Wears Prada begins with credits against a black background with no music. It then shows a hand wiping steam off a mirror, revealing the protagonist Anne Hathaway brushing her teeth. As the song "Suddenly I See" plays, the sequence cuts between shots of New York City and elegant women getting dressed and applying makeup, contrasting with Anne who puts less effort into her routine. The opening ends with Anne entering an office building and taking an elevator, leaving the audience wondering what will happen next.
The set up storyboard
The document outlines key scenes and shots in the horror film "The Set Up". It begins with an establishing shot at night to set the eerie tone. The protagonist hears strange noises in his house after returning home from work, including a ringing phone with no caller. Tension mounts as he searches the home, hearing whispers. The film builds to a climax as he confronts the unknown in the dark conservatory. However, the ending subverts expectations, revealing his friends and family threw him a surprise party, shocking the audience.
Textual analysis 3
The opening sequence uses dark, dramatic sound effects that build suspense. The first shot shows waves crashing against rocks, setting the scene near water. Cinematography does not immediately show characters' faces, instead showing a character being pounded by water, creating tension. Lighting is used to make one character conversing in a room seem more mysterious and villainous. Shot structures like over-the-shoulder shots and dialogue keep the audience engaged in the story as it unfolds while also withholding full views of characters, building more suspense. A clock counting down seconds at the end leaves the audience as confused as the characters about what will happen next.

The conjuring
The opening of The Conjuring uses black and white photographic images that change every 5 seconds to introduce characters and settings. There is no dialogue or narration to provide context. Visual cues like the historical period costuming and haunted locations shown imply the film will be a thriller or horror genre. Mise-en-scene features medium shots from a straight-on eye level angle with some tilting and movement between images but no pans or tracks. Non-diegetic ominous sounds set a foreboding tone but provide no information about the plot or protagonists.
Forge lane shots draft

Upon arriving at the farm, a shot shows the group discovering the driver is gone. Separate shots would then show each character going their own way. Death scenes would use shots like over-the-shoulder, dolly tracking and worms-eye views to build tension and show reactions. Establishing shots set different locations and shots of the murderer appearing would surprise the audience. Gore and murder would be depicted in close-up during killings.

First meeting and Initial ideas
We discussed potential film genres and ideas for an opening scene. I proposed a thriller/sci-fi opening involving the main character Tre waking up in a rush and learning of many disappearances on the news. His friends then mysteriously vanish after a phone call. Abidur suggested a thriller involving Tre being strangled by a mysterious figure while watching TV alone at home. Ammr and Aferdita proposed a romantic comedy about a Muslim boy facing conflict between his religion and sexuality but we did not choose this idea.
Initial plans 2
This document outlines initial plans for a short film responding to specific creative brief requirements. It includes three potential story ideas: an action/tragedy film about two people running from the police where one gets shot, an action/comedy film involving a gun fight that turns out to be a dream, and a fantasy film involving a magic watch that allows teleportation. Each story idea includes potential shots, props, and sets. Accompanying the document are mood boards to help visualize and structure each story idea. The mood boards show the story progressing chronologically through images and aim to influence the final product through their dark tone and inclusion of electrical items in each scene.
Question 1
The document discusses how a student media project used and challenged conventions of thriller/horror genre films. It followed some conventions like using eerie sound and an isolated location in the opening scene. However, it did not use changes in background music tempo to build suspense like Psycho, as rapid camera angles were used instead. While it aimed to use darker lighting indoors, filming times prevented truly dark outdoor settings. Costumes were casual like in thrillers to avoid suspicion, though the villain wore darker clothing instead of a disguise. Camera angles like pans, handheld shots, and points of view were used to build tension by partially obscuring the view and making the audience feel involved, as in typical thrillers.
Emil Script
The document appears to be a script for a short film. It describes scenes of a character named Anna running through a school corridor at night while being chased by another character, Anand. Anand is filming the chase and plans to kill Anna to create a movie. He catches up to her and slashes her with a knife while pointing to the camera, implying the murder was filmed. The last scene shows the camera viewpoint with Anna's body on the floor and no one else around.
video essay on memento
The opening credits feature tense music to make the audience feel on edge and increase tension. Shots of blood running on the floor entice viewers and add suspense without revealing what happened. Editing further builds tension by showing glasses splattered with blood on the wall. The setting of a dark, dirty basement is symbolic of the murder and action to come in this thriller genre film.
use of camera
This document discusses the use of camera techniques in filming a movie trailer. It describes several shots from the trailer and why specific camera techniques were used for each shot. A tripod was used for dialogue scenes to keep the camera still. A tracking shot showed a character leaving and added movement. A handheld camera captured a killer in an unsteady shot to reflect his nature. A tripod kept another dialogue scene focused on the characters. A point-of-view shot followed a torch beam to a killer, achieved by having the actor hold both.
Body of lies - Codes and conventions in the opening scene
The opening scene of Body of Lies begins with a quote that is not yet explained. It then sets a tense tone with fast-paced music. Within the first 40 seconds, the viewer is confused by hearing Arabic in Manchester, England. The first person shown is dimly lit, a convention in thrillers used for villains. Stereotypes of Muslim terrorists are shown by their appearance and stated goal of avenging American wars. Contrasting scenes of a possibly terrorist hideout and a SWAT team on a rooftop use conventions like lighting, camera angles and sound effects to build tension and drama.
Task 2 genre conventions
The document discusses genre conventions for a horror film trailer. It will apply common horror conventions like using a darker setting with darker lighting and props to convey fear and suspense. The narrative conventions discussed involve introducing innocent main characters who experience unnatural things in an unfamiliar setting, often leading to deaths or possessions. Applying these conventions like having characters help at a recently passed relative's new house where strange events occur will help attract audiences interested in typical horror film tropes.
Style and content 3
The document summarizes the narrative structure and style of a horror film in two parts. The first half establishes the main character Sarah's mental issues to trick the audience into thinking the horrors are hallucinations. The second half features a series of horrific moments in caves to keep the audience scared without relief. Although the characters are killed by monsters, the film follows Toderov's narrative theory by having the main character Sarah reunited with her daughter at the end, restoring a sense of equilibrium.
Style and content FINAL finished
The document provides an analysis of the narrative structure and style of a horror film. It is divided into two halves, with the first establishing the protagonist's character and mental state to trick the audience into thinking the horrors are hallucinations. The second half involves exploring caves and encountering horrific monsters through jump scares. While the film follows Todorov's narrative theory of equilibrium being disrupted and then restored, the ending does not fully restore equilibrium since all characters are killed by the monsters.

Key shots include a close-up of a crying doll's eye, a medium three shot introducing three confused characters, and a flashback shot from a low angle making the characters seem vulnerable. Throughout, non-diegetic sounds, dark colors, and close-ups are used to create tension and keep viewers on edge.
Film Trailer Analysis
The trailer uses various editing techniques to build tension and mystery. It employs short, fast-cut clips to avoid revealing too many spoilers while still showing glimpses of scary moments. Transitions between scenes are often only 1 second to continually ramp up a feeling of unease. Jump scares, dark cinematography, and unsettling sounds and music further frighten the audience. The plot involves characters exploring a mysterious cave and encountering unexplained phenomena that seem linked to their pasts. As they delve deeper, more secrets and horrors are revealed. The trailer ultimately leaves viewers wanting to know more about the film's full story.
Media language investigation
The trailer uses lighting, sound, editing and shots of the characters' fearful expressions to build tension and convey the psychological horror genre. Dark colors and shadows create an unsettling atmosphere in the family's home. Non-diegetic heartbeats and strategic use of silence heighten the tension. Fast-paced editing and fades between clips immerse viewers in the family's escalating terror as supernatural events threaten their son.
Textual analysis
The opening sequence of The Possession begins with a close-up shot of an old woman looking extremely worried while holding an antique box engraved with symbols. It is revealed through cross-cutting that the box is the source of her distress. As she tries to destroy the box, she begins chanting in a foreign language and her body contorts, seemingly possessed by a supernatural force within the box. Throughout, a song plays about heaven, contrasting with the evil force of the box. The sequence wastes no time establishing the supernatural themes of possession and evil that will be central to the film's plot.
The+Ringsss
The Ring uses various film techniques to create a psychological thriller. It begins without opening credits to build tension. Camera shots introduce the main characters and setting, with dolly zooms drawing attention. The victims are presented as good through bright lighting and white clothing. Sound switches between dialogue and silence to develop the threat. The story is set in an isolated house, establishing the thriller genre. It follows two female characters chronologically, leaving viewers with questions about the killed character's fate.
Spectre title sequence

It first shows a ring with an octopus logo, hinting that an octopus or octopus-like creature will be central to the plot. It then depicts the main hero surrounded by nude women, playing into stereotypes of female roles. Subsequent scenes feature a tentacle-wrapped woman, suggesting she may be the main female character who is suppressed. The sequence ends by revealing an octopus-like figure with a skull face, representing the main enemy in charge of an octopus cult that holds power over others.

Evaluation q1
The document provides an analysis of the trailer created by the student for their media product. The trailer uses several cinematic conventions including beginning in a disoriented way to match how the audience will feel, keeping the antagonist mysterious, and showing fragments of the protagonist's life to build empathy. It also leaves some elements ambiguous using the "enigma code" to further intrigue audiences. The trailer was edited together using techniques like transitions, sound mixing, and After Effects. Elements like costumes, cinematography, and sound were chosen deliberately to signify meanings and build suspense. The accompanying poster and magazine cover were designed to be consistent with the trailer and use standard conventions like prominent text sizes and placements.

Style and content 2
- 1. Style and content The narrative structure of the film is two halves. Firstly there is the tragedy and cabin scene, and then the second half is cave exploring with the survival and horror aspect. To add context to the movie, the first half was used to make Sarah the kind of character nobody believes due to her mental issues. The first half is also used to trick the audience into predicting the horror to be hallucinations rather than the crawlers therefore the first appearance of the crawler could shock the audience and frighten them at the same time. In the second half, the characters go through a series of horrific moments with gaps long enough to cause the audience to get scared again but not so long that they stop being scared altogether. Whenever a crawler comes out of nowhere, there are screeching sounds edited in to make the scene a jump scare. This film does not use ‘Toderov’s narrative theory’ as the ending does not restore equilibrium. In this theory, a successful movie will begin at equilibrium, then have some kind of issue bringing chaos. This will lead to a realisation of what is happening followed by a solution which brings everything back to equilibrium. The problem is, this movie does not get past the realisation stage because there is no resolve to being in a cave with monsters due to the characters being killed.
