Questionnaire Analysis Aliyah
The document describes research conducted through a questionnaire to identify the target market for a thriller movie opening. The questionnaire covered topics like enjoyment of thrillers, preferred subgenres, props, villains, favorite movies, expected music, and interests. Key results were that psychological and action subgenres were most popular, as were knives/guns as props, male villains, The Dark Knight Trilogy and The Silence of the Lambs as favorite films, nursery rhymes as expected music, and music/sound effects as the most interesting element. These results will inform the design of the thriller opening.
The pitch
The document outlines key characters and plots points for a thriller film. It introduces three main characters - Joe, the cocky leader; Alden, the first to sense danger; and Greg, the clumsy one who disappears. It describes the opening scene showing the end, then flashing back to the characters' journey to a college party. At the party, strange noises are heard, Greg disappears, and Alden tries to warn the others as the antagonist picks off more victims. The film climaxes with Joe and Alden fleeing the attacker at the party before the final scene returns to the opening.
Codes and conventions of a thriller
Thrillers aim to keep audiences guessing through mysteries involving a protagonist and antagonist. They build suspense and tension as the protagonist works to defeat the antagonist, typically through discovery of clues. Generic thriller openings establish the genre through production company logos and credits accompanied by setting music. Examples given are Inception, Panic Room, Man on Fire, and Memento, with Panic Room specifically opening with an establishing shot of New York City, text titles, and unsettling music that raises questions without showing who is speaking.
Sixth sense
The trailer for The Sixth Sense develops the character of Cole the most. We learn his name, that he goes to school, and that he sees dead people. Although Bruce Willis' character appears as well, his name and purpose are unknown. The whole trailer leaves the audience with questions about what will happen, whether it will have a happy or sad ending, and what genre it is. It creates intrigue by not revealing the release date like most trailers do. When the title is shown, the music speeds up, suggesting a double meaning or seeing things more than once. The creaking of a door and stairs in the beginning also builds tension and relates to the plot.
A Horror Poster
The poster suggests that The Amityville Horror takes place in a real town called Amityville and involves something horrifying. It shows a man walking towards a big, old house in the woods holding a gun. This implies that the film will focus on a man trying to kill everyone in the isolated house. The tagline "Watch 'em and kill 'em" further hints that he has been watching the residents and is now going to kill them, possibly as a hired assassin. The overall dark tones and imagery aim to create an atmosphere of danger and suspense.
Audience research
I surveyed 31 people between ages 15-50 to determine their favorite movie genres. Horror was the most popular genre at 11 responses, influencing my decision to create a horror trailer. I then surveyed the same 31 people about their favorite aspects of horror movies. The top three responses were entrapment at 6, jumpy horror films at 8, and serial killer movies at 9. I will incorporate elements of entrapment, jump scares, and serial killers into my new horror trailer.

How ‘truthful’ documentary filmmaking has inspired my practice..
The document discusses the documentary film "Capturing the Friedmans" directed by Andrew Jarecki in 2003.

Question 3 evaluation
From audience feedback, the creator learned both expected and unexpected things. As expected, the popularity of the horror genre and zombie/post-apocalyptic styles were confirmed. Unexpectedly, fans preferred a male over a female lead, which went against the creator's initial impression. Also unexpectedly, while an amateur, limited survival style was preferred visually, it was deemed impractical for the plot. This led the creator to conclude a more realistic design was needed.

Summer tt analysis of trailer conventions
A teaser trailer is typically between 30 seconds and 1 minute long. It uses fast-paced editing and genre-appropriate music to set the tone. Teaser trailers show key action scenes and dialogue to give a sense of the storyline while focusing on the main characters, usually ending by revealing the film title. They aim to pique audience interest in the film without giving everything away.
Film Marketing Campaign Case Study
The marketing campaign for the movie "Warm Bodies" utilized various media platforms to promote the film. It established a consistent brand identity using red, white, and black colors and zombie-themed puns in posters and trailers. The campaign released multiple teasers and trailers, clips and interviews in the pre-launch period to generate hype. Post-launch, it promoted the film through cast interviews and highlighting positive reviews. Overall, the campaign effectively created awareness and interest in the film through its cohesive visual branding and gradual release of content.
Distribution companies
Distribution companies are responsible for making films available to audiences through marketing strategies, release dates, and exhibition methods. They determine whether a film is shown in movie theaters, on television, or through personal home viewing. Some potential UK distribution companies that may be interested in an independent, low-budget thriller film include New Line Cinema, Kaleidoscope, and Warp Films due to their experience distributing similar genre films. While the film only contains British actors, the thriller genre has universal appeal. An effective marketing strategy would utilize social media platforms as well as traditional television and billboard advertisements. The film could target both a UK and global audience with an initial cinema release followed by home video. Self-distribution provides full control but is very time
Analysis for warm bodies 2.0.docx.1
The teaser trailer is typically 1 minute or less in length to pack the trailer with intense action and intrigue audiences. Fast-paced editing with quick cuts is used to magnify the action and build suspense. Narrative and lively music are used to provide context and drama while concealing much of the actual plot. Shots of violence depict the protagonist engaging in zombie-like behavior of eating human flesh and attacking others to set the scene of the supernatural horror genre and give a sense of the conflict without revealing too much of the story. The title is shown at the very end to leave audiences wanting more information and anticipating the full trailer and film.
Film magazine experiments and process
The document describes several experiments conducted to create a cover image for a film magazine in the style of Little White Lies magazine. The first experiment blacked out the eyes to look like a mask but needed more editing. The second version was paler and bluer to resemble a mask but looked too over-edited. The third blacked out one eye and subtly added the title in the hair but looked too graphically edited. Further experiments tried to make the image look edited but realistic, but did not fit the film's branding. The most recent experiment followed a tutorial for photorealistic drawing in Photoshop but is unfinished.
Props media
The document summarizes props that will be used in a scene, including masks, tic tacs, envelopes, fake guns, books, and fake exam results. Some props like masks, tic tacs, envelopes, and fake exam results were brought in, while fake guns and camera equipment were provided by Castlefield House. The masks will be used by two students to hide their identities while threatening the news reporter and exam board. Fake guns and tic tacs will suggest violence and mental instability. Books represent students studying for exams. Fake exam results will show the students' poor performance and turning point in the scene. Camera equipment props will imply that two others are cameramen.
Warm bodies analysis
The document discusses conventions used in movie trailers to convey information to audiences. It uses the trailers for the movie "Warm Bodies" to illustrate these conventions. The full trailer establishes the movie has genres of supernatural horror, comedy, action, and romance through visual cues like makeup, facial expressions, and editing. The teaser trailer similarly conveys genres of action, romance, and supernatural horror through fast pacing, violence, and relationship progression. Both trailers use non-diegetic sounds to enhance enjoyment and set expectations, but the teaser focuses more on violence and sexuality while the full trailer provides more context.

Frank and Charlotte met years ago when Frank counseled Charlotte, and Frank developed split personalities and feelings for Charlotte.
Summer tt trailer conventions adapted from film ed.docx.2
The document compares two trailers for the film "Warm Bodies": a teaser trailer and a full-length trailer. Both trailers showcase scenes from the film and introduce the main actors. However, the full-length trailer provides more context and explanation of the storyline over its longer runtime of 2 minutes compared to the teaser's 1 minute. Specifically, it explains the genre blending of comedy, romance, and action compared to the teaser's focus on violence and mystery. The document analyzes differences in editing pace, sound design, and how each trailer represents the film.
The making of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The production of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo took over a year and involved extensive location scouting, casting, and preparation. David Fincher was recruited to direct in March 2010 and principal photography was completed in June 2011 across locations in Sweden, Switzerland, Los Angeles, Norway, and the UK. It took 2.5 months to cast Rooney Mara in the lead role of Lisbeth Salander. Mara underwent intensive training and her character's severe appearance was created through hair, makeup, and prosthetics. The film was shot using Red Digital Cinema cameras and Trent Reznor composed the score. It had its premiere in December 2011 and was a financial success, grossing over $232 million in the US.
Teaser Analysis
The document analyzes the trailer for the film "The Silence of the Lambs" in terms of editing, camerawork, sound, and costume design. It discusses how the trailer uses fast cuts and fades after introducing the character Hannibal to build tension. Close-ups are used to show character emotions and build tension between Hannibal and the detective. The sound switches between diegetic sounds from the characters and non-diegetic music to emphasize moments. Hannibal's prisoner outfit is meant to make him seem less important and sub-human compared to the suited characters analyzing him.

Codes and conventions of thriller films
A detailed look into the codes and conventions of thriller films with an analysis of what I will use in my own tasks.
AS Media Portfolio
No You Can't Say Thumbs Up!
This document provides guidance on traditional and alternative styles for movie reviews. It discusses key elements of a traditional review such as an introductory lead paragraph, condensed plot synopsis, background information on the film/creators, and abbreviated arguments evaluating what works and does not work in the film. It also presents examples of alternative review styles like two-sentence reviews, genre reviews, and 100-word reviews. The document emphasizes establishing a unique voice and focusing evaluations on what the film aims to accomplish and whether it succeeds at that.
The shining film trailer analysis
The trailer is for the 1980 horror film The Shining, directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring Jack Nicholson. It depicts a family moving into an isolated hotel for the winter. Shots establish the setting and show the father descending into madness, holding weapons. Tension builds with quick cuts and screaming, without revealing the cause. This leaves viewers wanting more information and ensures the film is intriguing and frightening.
First Draft Presentation
The document discusses conventions and techniques used in psychological thriller films to impact audiences. It analyzes three iconic psychological thrillers from different decades - The Shining (1980), Se7en (1995), and Shutter Island (2010). Common conventions discussed include unreliable narrators, plot twists, exploring themes of reality, identity and death. Literary devices like stream of consciousness and backstories are examined in these films. The document aims to understand how directors achieve lasting psychological effects on audiences through these cinematic techniques and conventions.
Momento Analysis (Media)
The document provides still images and analysis from the film Memento. It summarizes key details from several still shots, including a close-up of the main character's intense facial expression, a mid-shot showing a potential crime scene from a low angle, and a medium close-up focused on glasses and blood around the character's head. Overall, the stills and analysis aim to build suspense around what happened through visual clues and leave the audience wondering about the plot and if this is the character's first murder victim.
David fincher
This analysis is about David Fincher and his contributions to the entertainment field. Cinemas Seven and Fight club is analyzed in these movies. Rhetoric and themes portrayed in the movies are also investigated in this analysis.
THRILLER POSTERS
The document analyzes and summarizes the key elements of several thriller movie posters that make the films seem intriguing and suspenseful. For the poster of Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, it notes the use of dark colors and fire imagery to create a spooky and scary tone, with Batman depicted in a strong posture ready for battle. For Escape Plan, it highlights how the title and image of two men in a glass cage prompts questions about what they are escaping and from whom. For The Shining, it describes how the image of a man breaking through a door makes the viewer think he is the villain and curious about his motives.
Evaluation 1 and 2 media
The opening sequence follows conventions such as titles fading in and out, but introduces both the protagonist and antagonist, rather than just one. Continuity editing and moving shots are used to gradually increase pace as in other horror films. However, some elements break conventions, such as featuring a psychopathic supernatural magician as the antagonist and including a chase scene early on. The protagonist represents mental illness negatively and the antagonist is stylishly dressed unlike typical psychopaths. Sound uses tension-building drones and drums as in films like The Shining. Overall it explores representations of issues like mental illness, gender, and social status.
