Target audience
This document discusses the potential target audience for a 2-minute intro film and similar post-apocalyptic action films. It states that these films mainly target males ages 15-40 of all races and education levels who enjoy action, violence, and adrenaline-pumping excitement. These films also target the mainstream audience and aspirers who want to watch popular films, as well as explorers interested in technological boundaries. Specifically, the target for their 2-minute intro film would be 16-20 year old mainstream males who enjoy action films and going to the movies monthly with friends to feel included in shared experiences.
2 minute film intro idea
1) The film would follow a teenage boy who feels the whole world is against him due to constant bad luck. Examples of bad luck he experiences on his walk to school are shown.
2) The middle of the film would continue to show his bad luck and bullying at school, though he will eventually overcome his depression.
3) The film would be set in Bridgwater, England and involve scenes at a school and house. Music would include songs by Travis, George Ezra, and The Black Keys, though original music would be needed for the intro.

Apocalypse film openings
The document summarizes and compares the title sequences of two films: Mad Max Fury Road and Left Behind. For Mad Max, it notes the red fonts and protagonist names taking up half the screen, along with a voiceover describing past events. It then describes Max reacting and driving off in his car.

Both intros throw viewers into dramatic action and panic situations to immerse them straight away.

AS MEDIA STUDIES - Psychological Horror Codes and Conventions
Psychological horror relies on characters' fears and instability to build tension rather than overt violence. It suggests threats rather than showing them. Common techniques include low lighting, slow editing, and unsettling sounds and music. Typical settings include abandoned asylums and haunted houses. Iconography uses symbolic images to elicit emotion. Female victims are often portrayed as dumb and in need of rescue. Influential directors like Alfred Hitchcock drew out suspense through shots and unique angles.
Horror film
The document provides a comparison of the horror films Annabelle and Sinister. It summarizes that both films aim to stimulate fear in viewers through supernatural events involving evil forces. Annabelle involves demonic possession of a doll, while Sinister centers around a serial killer known as "Mr. Boogie" who encourages children to murder their families. Though the plots differ, both films effectively provoke anxiety and horror in audiences. The document also notes differences in themes, characters, and death tolls between the two films.
Thriller media proposal
A girl is walking alone in the park at night when it starts raining. She gets a mysterious call from her friend asking to meet, but when she arrives no one is there. She is kidnapped by a man who has been stalking her and taking her pictures. When she wakes up tied up, she sees her photos and notes on the walls and starts to piece together who took her. It is revealed to be a man she previously rejected who is punishing her.
Mute pitch idea
The horror film Mute tells the story of a family that moves into a new house left to them by their aunt, only to discover it is haunted by the ghost of a teenage girl named Marie. Marie's tongue was cut out when she was alive, and she now haunts the house, terrorizing the family. The film will target teenage audiences and feature supernatural elements, taking place mainly within the haunted house. It draws inspiration from other horror films involving victims with cut-out tongues and ghostly appearances in mirrors.

Both Paranormal Activity and Orphan are horror films but differ in their genres and characters.

Why The Babadook never leaves
Spoiler Warning
The Babadook isn’t a Hollywood monster or spirit that pulls you across the ceiling or sucks you into a strange underworld. He’s a Jungian-type shadow of the darkness inside our own hearts. “If it’s in a word, or it’s in a look, you can’t get rid of the Babadook,” warns the beautiful, simple handmade book Amelia reads to her son Sam in the first few scenes of this much buzzed-about film. The book is familiar, children’s books are often unsettling, introducing to the child, and the parents, a way to talk about the darker parts of life. Of course, it is often the case that children’s nightmares can be inspired by creepy books, but that doesn’t mean that monsters aren’t important. We need fictional monsters because we have monsters living inside of us.
Sam was born into the world with a grief-stricken and unhinged mother who had no time to take care of herself and find a way to deal with her loss. As a single mom, she has to work long-hours as a caretaker for the elderly, and then come home and dig up love for her difficult son from her scant emotional resources.
They barely have any support system, and Sam’s violence and odd behavior drives away the only family they have. The film oozes with the complicated feelings of a mother and son who both desperately love each other, but are terrified of themselves. Each one is flailing, and cannot hold onto one another without sinking further down. When the Babadook is introduced to them, he’s a place to hang all these repressed feelings and nightmares, all the nauseous terror of love and need.
When it turns out that The Babadook is really Amelia, or that Amelia has become possessed by him, it also seems plausible that Amelia is his creator as well as his puppet. Amelia used to write children’s books, so makes sense that she used her book-making skills to create the mysterious, haunted object that infiltrates their life. If that’s the case, the second book depicting herself as the monster was also made by her, possibly in an insomniac trance.
Seven-year-old Sam is a difficult child, but his situation is horrific, and has been long before The Babadook manifested itself. He’s just beginning to comprehend his mother’s resentment towards him, and the horrible fact that his father died on the same day of his birth. His obsessions with magic and weapons seem to stem from his intense need to protect himself, and his mother, from the constant threat of their very existence. As the monster grows, Sam himself transforms from a bit of a monster into a helpless child. As the danger increases for him, both the audience and Amelia start to see him more as a doe-eyed helpless child than a symbol of destruction, burden, and loss.
When they are saved from the Babadook’s madness by Sam’s tenderness, a neighbor’s concern and love, and, especially, Amelia’s assertion of power over the malevolent force, the Babadook is still with them. He will never leave, because he is st.

The document discusses several horror films that provide inspiration for an original student film (OTS).

English essay
This essay compares the horror films Paranormal Activity and Insidious. Both films involve paranormal activity in a family's house centered around threats to the parents' children. Specifically, the films feature demons haunting the families - in Paranormal Activity it is a demon summoned to protect the family that ends up terrorizing them, while in Insidious it is a demon that kidnaps the son's soul. Though the endings differ, with only Insidious having a happy conclusion, the essays argues the films have notable similarities in their premises, supernatural elements, and threats to children that make them effectively comparable within the horror genre.
(Research) Media Studies Paranormal: Supernatural
Paranormal and supernatural films rely on certain conventions to create suspense and scare audiences. Locations like isolated houses are used to make viewers feel alone and vulnerable. Characters often include an innocent person in danger and someone trying to help them. Music, sounds, and editing techniques like jump cuts also contribute to the scary atmosphere. The narrative structure commonly features a character in an unpleasant situation at the start, a cliffhanger ending leaving the plot unresolved, and a big climax with horrible consequences. These elements come together to effectively tell paranormal stories and keep audiences entertained.
My media
This document analyzes the opening sequence of the film Scream 4. It discusses 9 shots that are used to build tension and surprise the audience. Shot 1 introduces the ringing phone that signals an incoming threat. Shot 2 establishes innocent victims who are unaware of danger. Shots 3-5 use eerie music to build tension without revealing the threat. Shots 6-7 feature the expected attack by Ghostface. Shot 8 subverts expectations by revealing the threat was just a movie. Shot 9 surprises again by showing one victim killing the other. These techniques engage the audience and leave them wanting to see more.
