Pitch for my thriller

Strange signs on her computer cause severe headaches and flashes of her past. On the street, people stare motionlessly at her. The opening establishes an unsettling tone through Debby's confusion and disconnection from others. It aims to intrigue audiences and leave them wanting more.
Ted talk - Brene Brown
Brene Brown engages her audience through storytelling about her experiences and research. She tells personal stories that allow audiences to connect with her on a deeper level. While some of her topics are intense or sad, she matches her tone and inflection well. Brown utilizes humor in her slides to make audiences more aware and knowledgeable on the topics. The most important lesson is that storytelling is one of the best ways to engage an audience and convey ideas.
Brene Brown: "The Power of Vulnerability"
The document summarizes Brene Brown's talk on vulnerability. It discusses how Brown studied vulnerability as a research professor and argues that vulnerability is necessary for belonging and joy. Brown struggled with vulnerability for a year but eventually gained her life back. Her talk style incorporated humor, storytelling, and passion to engage the audience. She received positive feedback and ratings for her delivery, style, and ability to keep the talk informative and enjoyable.
Target audience evaluation
The document discusses research conducted to understand the target audience for a thriller film opening. A survey was created using SurveyMonkey and distributed on the filmmakers' blogs and social media to gather feedback from their target 16-40 year old audience. The survey asked about thriller genre and element preferences. Research also included sharing a draft film online to engage the target digital native audience and gather feedback through social media interactions.
Q1
Our media product opening used and developed several conventions of psychological thriller films. The music was disjointed and dramatic like in Se7en. While most thrillers use a voice over, we omitted it to surprise viewers. For credits, we used a shaky white typewriter font on black, similar to Se7en. Our opening presented many mysteries or "hermeneutic codes" for viewers to question, as seen in other thrillers. We featured a gun and ambiguous setting to intrigue more viewers, though thrillers often omit weapons. Effects like rewinding and poor quality shots confused viewers, mirroring techniques from films like Memento.
Question 2
This document discusses how the media product represents particular social groups. Specifically, it focuses on representing young teenage girls associated with fashion culture as the victim in a thriller opening. Locations like an abandoned wood and dark estate were chosen to suggest tension and lower social class. Dark lighting was used to metaphorically suggest the victim's feelings. The victim wears everyday dark clothes to appear vulnerable yet match the low financial status of residents. In contrast, the killer subverts expectations by also being a young female, challenging the male killer stereotype.
Evaluation Question 5
The document discusses various techniques used to attract and engage the audience in a thriller film project. It begins with mysterious shots that gradually reveal a character to build intrigue. Enigmatic close-ups that only show parts of the character and setting also create mystery. The main character is portrayed as a femme fatale through costume, props, and lighting to establish familiar character types. An eerie piano music box score sets the chilling tone. The poster would feature a silhouette with a detective or blank space inside to pique interest. Releasing in October would target thriller fans around Halloween.

Q4 and 5
The document discusses strategies for attracting the target audience for a media product. It aims its psychological thriller film at a mainstream audience of late teens to middle-aged viewers to maximize profits. It will use social media advertising since it targets a younger demographic. The main protagonist is a teenage female to appeal to younger and female viewers who make up the majority of the genre's audience. An older male character was added to also attract more mature viewers. Props, costumes, and genre conventions are used strategically to engage different demographics.
Evaluation question 1
This document provides an analysis of how the author's thriller opening uses, challenges, and develops conventions of real media products.

Professional music and footage from shows like Broadchurch and The Missing were analyzed and certain elements like costumes, shots of children, and symbols of missing persons were incorporated into the opening. The opening challenges conventions by focusing on the disappearance of a young girl rather than following a typical thriller storyline. Feedback from sharing the opening on social media was also used to further develop and refine the project.
Q5
This document discusses attracting an audience for a film and summarizing the unique selling point and plot of the proposed film. The target audience is identified as being ages 16-30 with interests in films like action, comedy and thriller genres as well as extreme sports. The unique selling point of the film is that the main character is a "badass" who is forced to do killings for work not because he is heartless but because it is his only job option and it takes a mental toll on him. The opening scene introduces the main character Ben and his girlfriend Kim, then shows him getting a photo of her from a crime lord, leaving the audience wondering if he will shoot her as instructed. The plot aims to keep the audience
Hunted
Our media product is a psychological thriller that was inspired by films like The Blair Witch Project and Se7en. It would be distributed by Paramount Pictures and funded by Film 4. Our marketing campaign would advertise the trailer online and through television and posters targeted towards our intended audience. We developed conventions from real thriller titles and employed various camera shots and angles, like crane shots, close-ups, and over-the-shoulder shots, to create tension, mystery, and put viewers in the perspective of the victim. Through this project, we learned about effective shot composition and the extensive post-production process, including editing for pace and following filmmaking rules.
Audience questionnaire
This document is an audience questionnaire for a thriller movie. It asks respondents what type of thriller they prefer (e.g. psychological, action), their favorite thriller and why, the age ranges thrillers typically target and they would like to see a thriller based around, and what they expect from a thriller film opening (e.g. outline of story, cliffhanger). The questionnaire aims to help the filmmakers choose appropriate content and target audiences to intrigue viewers and appeal to a wide range.
Poster analysis
This poster uses bright colors and cartoon-style images to appeal to younger family audiences. The large, clear text displays the movie's release date and studio. The genres of animation, comedy, action, adventure and fantasy suggest it aims to entertain children, who enjoy imaginary worlds. In contrast, another poster uses dull, dark colors and depicts violence like a pirate ship's destruction to seem more serious. Its genres of comedy, adventure, fantasy and action may interest older viewers, as the image of a gun implies it's not for young children.
Evaluation Q1
The document discusses how the media product uses conventions of real thriller films. It used a cliffhanger ending when the main character received a mysterious text message.

Textual analysis
The document analyzes the opening title sequence of the film "Before I Go to Sleep." It summarizes:
1) The title sequence uses shaky camera work, low lighting, and minimalist titles to set an atmospheric and suspenseful tone without any sound initially.
2) It then cuts to a character staring at the camera, introducing diegetic sounds of breathing and a clock to convey her confusion while revealing little information.
3) A point-of-view shot suggests she is not alone in bed, allowing the audience to see her feelings and surroundings through close-ups while still providing little context.
4) The opening successfully builds tension and suspense by playing with psychological themes through the
Analysis of halloween
Halloween is a 1978 independent horror/slasher film directed by John Carpenter. It follows the point of view of Michael Myers, a serial killer who murders his sister as a child and escapes from an institution 15 years later to return to his hometown to find new victims. The opening sequence uses ominous music and a flickering jack-o-lantern to build tension. It also employs point-of-view shots from the killer's perspective to unsettle the audience. The film breaks conventions by revealing the killer is a child, which adds mystery and frightens viewers by subverting expectations of children as innocent. Halloween helped establish the slasher film genre through innovative techniques that both followed and challenged typical horror film tropes.
My analyses on specific thriller
The trailer for the thriller film The Orphanage establishes mystery and tension. It begins by showing peaceful seaside scenes but then introduces an ominous orphanage. A boy's conversations with an invisible friend create unanswered questions for viewers. As the boy disappears and his mother searches frantically, the music increases in volume and intensity, heightening the suspense. Flash cuts and quick scenes maintain mystery about the invisible friend until the trailer's climactic end.
Evaluation question 5
The document discusses how the filmmakers addressed their target audience of late teens to young adults in their thriller film. They included gory and disturbing elements like torture and blood to appeal to this age group. They also included a teenage victim to make the story more relatable. Current fashion trends and technology like smartphones were featured to match what teenagers are interested in. Point-of-view shots and close ups of the victim were used to elicit fear and sympathy from viewers. Suspense was created through ominous music, decreasing light, and an ambiguous killer's mask. The film ends on a cliffhanger to encourage viewers to continue watching.
Videogame pitch MFP Y1
This document provides details on a proposed video game called Pandemonium, including the story, world lore, characters/enemies, and location setting. The story follows a protagonist who becomes trapped in their mind due to overwhelming negative emotions, and must solve their inner struggles to escape. Key locations unlock memories that caused the protagonist's suppressed emotions. Enemies represent those emotions and get weaker as memories are accepted. The forest setting represents the protagonist's suffocating feelings. Investors are asked to support further development of the beta game.
Question 5
The document discusses how the film addressed its audience through the use of close-ups on a character's eye, similar to Psycho, creating tension. It also leaves the ending ambiguous with a cliffhanger to encourage viewers to watch the rest of the film to find out what happens. While aspects like cyberbullying would be familiar to the audience, the unexpected vengeance storyline makes it more appealing and stands out within the thriller genre.
Q2
The document discusses how a media product represents social groups through its characters. It introduces two main characters, a male and female, where initially the male seems dominant wearing a suit but by the end the female "comes out better". It aims to attract a wider female audience who make up 60% of viewers of the genre. While the male wears a suit suggesting middle-class status, the female wears a hoodie suggesting lower-class status, but their reactions in the same situation are analyzed differently. Facial expressions of the male character could suggest he thinks he is above and more intelligent than the other.

Greene believes the expanding universe must be influenced by unseen "dark matter" and extra dimensions. He argues the multiverse theory could explain why our universe continues accelerating outward instead of halting. Greene delivered an engaging talk that piqued audience curiosity about unknown aspects of the cosmos while avoiding overly complex details.
Muqaddas
The document analyzes how the TV series The Big Bang Theory uses violations of Grice's maxims of cooperation to create comic effects. It examines conversations from two clips, finding that characters like Sheldon and Amy violate maxims of quantity by providing too much unnecessary information, and maxims of manner by being ambiguous and unclear. Their conversations confuse other characters like Penny. The analysis concludes that while there is no single way to create comedy, violating conversational maxims, especially providing too much information, is a tool used in this sitcom to generate humorous misunderstandings and social awkwardness between scientifically-minded and lay characters.
