The document provides an analysis of two classic horror films - "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" from 1956 and "The Thing" from 1982. It examines their similarities and differences. Both films deal with the theme of alien invasion and the takeover of human bodies and minds. However, "The Thing" relies more heavily on graphic special effects and overtly fantastic elements, while "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" leaves more ambiguity about what is real versus imagined. The document also discusses how the films may have been commenting on issues of government and societal control during the Cold War eras in which they were produced.

This document provides an analysis of two classic horror films - Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Thing. It examines their similarities and differences. Both films focus on the theme of alien invasion and control of the human body and mind. However, Invasion of the Body Snatchers blends reality and fantasy more subtly while The Thing presents a more overtly fantastic and paranoid scenario from the beginning. The films also reflect the societal fears and trends of the times they were produced in - the 1950s Cold War era and the 1980s period of increased surveillance and global tensions. Overall, the document conducts a comparative analysis of these two films and why they are considered classics of the genre.
The document provides guidelines for choosing a good name for a service or product. It recommends thoroughly analyzing customer needs and competitors. Names should reflect the brand and be distinctive. The document describes different types of names and provides tools to brainstorm, evaluate, and select the best name. These include considering trademark protection, engagement levels, and checking name availability across relevant domains.
The document provides information and examples for creating a soap opera trailer titled "The Edge" that follows conventions of existing soap operas. It includes comparisons between "The Edge" and soap operas like TOWIE, Hollyoaks and 90210. Key points discussed are using various camera shots, multiple storylines, realistic locations, natural lighting and incorporating aspects that establish the brand and appeal to target audiences.
The document provides analysis of the opening title sequences of four films: Shutter Island, Sherlock Holmes, Godzilla, and an unnamed film. For Shutter Island, it analyzes each title card shot, noting details like font color, size, positioning, and who or what role is being credited. For the other films, it summarizes one or two shots from each opening, highlighting production companies, directors, actors, and continuity of graphical elements between shots. The document examines visual and technical aspects of how opening titles convey information to viewers.
The poster, trailer, and magazine cover for the media product follow several forms and conventions of real media products:
- The poster uses a three color palette of red, black, and white and features the main antagonist and protagonist, similar to the Eden Lake movie poster.
- The trailer uses changes in lighting to signify genres and story elements, and maintains consistent fonts across intertitles, matching the poster.
- The magazine cover follows conventions like placing the main title in a larger font, including a skyline and other sell lines, and maintaining the three color scheme across products. However, some images were swapped to better suit each media format.
The document discusses font choices for a film project's masthead typography. A typewriter-style font called Fluoxetine was selected for the opening title due to its eerie tone fitting the context. A "WitchDings" font featuring a hand symbol was also chosen for the teaser, poster, and magazine cover to create synergy across materials. Additional fonts tested for the masthead include ones with dripping blood or thin styles to achieve a creepy effect suiting the horror genre. The final font choice will be made while editing posters to determine which best matches the trailer's overall tone.

The document discusses potential film ratings for a new film from the BBFC rating system. It provides information on the criteria for ratings such as U, PG, 12A, 15, and 18. The film would likely receive an 18 rating due to its depiction of drugs and sexual content, which are restricted for audiences under 18 according to the BBFC guidelines. The 18 rating allows unlimited bad language and strong realistic sex scenes, as long as they are justified by context.
The document summarizes how the media product of a trailer for a new soap opera called "Bamford" uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media products. It analyzes similarities and differences between shots in the Bamford trailer and those in trailers for shows like Skins, Hollyoaks, and Misfits. Big close-ups are used to clearly show characters' facial expressions, as in other shows, but some shots subvert expectations by only showing one character's face. Location shooting and natural lighting maintain realism. The trailer also draws from multiple storylines seen in soap operas.
The document provides a template for students to research and present information about a selected film director. It includes sections for gathering facts about the director's youth, apprenticeship, awards, techniques/style, films, quotes by and about the director, their legacy and influence, and citing sources. Students are instructed to include captions, photos and citations in completing the project slides.
The document discusses the fonts used for the credits in a production. Lantinghie TC Extralight and Demibold were used for the opening and ending credits because they fit the serious tone of the drama. For the opening credits, the letters faded in one at a time to create a mysterious feel. A black background was used with a glow on the letters to make them stand out. Demibold, a bolder variation of Lantinghie TC, was also used for the ending credits to help the work titles stand out.
The document discusses inspirations for a film called Entity. It describes looking to other films like Unforgiven for ideas for the poster and trailers. Specifically, it mentions basing the magazine cover design on the lone figure in Unforgiven, facing away. It also notes copying the idea from another poster of a levitating girl shown from a long distance to keep her identity hidden. Additionally, it discusses emulating the CCTV filming style used in Red Road to give the film a natural feel, and basing the title font off of Paranormal Activity as suiting the film.
Nicole Acquah's documentary "Sea of Change" uses and develops conventions of expository and participatory documentary genres. It uses voice-over, archival footage, interviews, and involves interaction between the filmmaker and subjects. However, it also challenges conventions by using a wide variety of music to reflect how the past develops into the future. The documentary poster develops conventions by having a minimalist, unconventional design that creates intrigue, while the film review develops conventions by being published in a local arts and entertainment magazine to promote the film.
The Pixar animation logo uses a plain black font for the text against a light blue background to allow the text to stand out clearly. The 'I' in Pixar is a lamp that creates character for the logo and adds animation through a shadow and glow. The small text 'animation studios' provides clarification without detracting from the name.
The Creature Feature Productions logo features an old-fashioned camera image next to the text, with the film strip running behind the first word. The word 'creature' is placed in the film strip spaces in light text to blend in while still standing out from the white background.
The 20th Century Fox Television logo background shows golden buildings around blue sky
Our film poster, magazine cover, and film trailer effectively use conventions of real media products in these three ways:
1) The poster uses conventions like prominent central imagery, taglines, and credits that are typical of movie posters.
2) The magazine cover mimics real magazines with elements like film artwork, taglines, free offers, and barcodes.
3) The film trailer employs standard techniques of establishing shots, close-ups, text effects, and cuts that build suspense seen in thriller trailers.
The document analyzes and summarizes the opening title sequences of three films - Se7en, Skyfall, and Dexter. For Se7en, the titles are presented in a distorted handwritten font with a dark background, setting an unnerving tone. Skyfall introduces the main cast first followed by the film and director, with bold capitalized font titles in the primary field of view. Dexter presents the film title first, then cast and producer, using bold red capitalized font that symbolizes blood and matches the theme. The document discusses how these title sequences effectively set tone and are inspirational for the group's own film project.
This document contains analyses of two student-created horror movie trailers. For the first trailer by Shaun Liddle, the summary notes that the editing was the biggest weakness, with shots fading together lacking professional quality. Overall it was assessed as level 2 out of 5. For the second trailer by Olivia Dixon, the summary states it effectively uses lighting, sound, and a variety of shots, earning it a level 3 rating and 13-14 out of 20 marks.

Studios and producers use logos at the beginning of films to develop audience familiarity and associate themselves with certain genres. However, they often edit their logos to increase publicity for new films, such as Pixar adding characters from upcoming films to their logo. Producers relate to specific genres through consistent logo design features like color schemes, sounds, and music. For example, DreamWorks uses melodic music to represent their peaceful films. The document then discusses techniques for animating and editing logos to suit different film genres.
The document discusses different fonts that could be used for horror movie titles and analyzes how each font conveys different meanings and tones through their design. It examines fonts used in titles for films like The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity and how their serif, spacing, and shadowing styles set ominous, unsettling, and mysterious tones. Several spooky fonts found on dafont.com are proposed for a potential horror film title based on how their bold, cut-out, or shadowed lettering could attract attention and relate to themes of mystery, the supernatural, and being watched.

The document provides a comparison of two classic horror films - "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" from 1956 and "The Thing" from 1982. Both films deal with the theme of alien invasion and the attempt to control human minds and personalities. While created decades apart, the films explore similar ideas about threats to individual free will and societal control that were prevalent at the times they were released. A key difference is that "The Thing" establishes its unreal premise from the beginning, while "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" keeps the audience questioning what is real for longer, in the style of preceding film noir.
This document provides an analysis of two classic horror films: "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" from 1956 and "The Thing" from 1982.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. First of all, it is necessary to say that these two films were created at different
times. “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” was created in 1956 the middle 1950s, Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial, 12

more precisely in 1956 whereas ‟‟The Thing’’ was created in 1982. It seems that Comment [E13]: Just exact year is

such time difference should make the films completely different but, strangely

difference lies in the history of the origin of the films. For we know that “Invasion of Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial, 12

forget about classical horror films scenes such as, “shots up from under the plank Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial, 12

into something ordered and people start organizing the pods to be distributed
about the country” (Biaskind, 1983: p141). Whereas in “The Thing” its creators Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial, 12
pt, Italic, Not Superscript/ Subscript
used the experience of past works in the field of horror films and I would say this Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial, 12

Also I want to add that “The Thing” is much richer in special effects, particularly Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial, 12
pt, Not Superscript/ Subscript
when we see victims of aliens who “transform into twisted versions of themselves, Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial, 12

complete with claws, spider-like limbs, teeth and lots of flailing tentacles” (Landon, pt, Not Superscript/ Subscript
1993: p36). And again, I think that this is the result of time changes because in Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial, 12
pt, Not Superscript/ Subscript
1980s, due to the development of computer technologies and more sophisticated Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial, 12
pt, Not Superscript/ Subscript
technical equipment and impressive special effects, it became an essential part of Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial, 12
pt, Not Superscript/ Subscript
any good horror film pretending to be interesting and popular. Whereas, in 1950s Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial, 12
pt, Not Superscript/ Subscript
not only technical opportunities were not so good but the tradition of film shooting
was a bit different. More attention was usually given to psychological side and
could only be enforced by special effects which were not very „special‟ though in
comparison with 1980s.
As for some more similarities of both “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” and “The Comment [E35]: Needs to be pushed
