Tactics include using trucks with advertisements, producing limited edition comic books, sponsoring events like ComiCon and Fright Fest in target markets, and creating an alternate reality game involving a resistance group and smartphone app. Additional efforts aim to showcase the romantic storyline in magazines targeting females and through fashion/modeling shows on TV. Evaluation will track social media mentions, female viewership numbers, and participation in the mobile game.

For Repo!, while it contains some graphic violence, its nonlinear narrative structure and blending of genres sets it apart from traditional horror.

Both films are examined in terms of their settings, narratives, and adherence to common horror codes and conventions.

Individual Initial Task - Sabrina pinnu
The document discusses plans for an opening scene for a romantic thriller film. It will begin with an establishing shot of a suburban house with the door slightly ajar. Shots will show signs of violence inside like blood stains and a child's bloody hand sticking out of a couch. The main character, a woman, will be shown crying and distraught, sitting on the floor. Low saturation and emphasis on the color red will create tension and mystery. The opening scene will end with the woman waiting outside for police to arrive and confess to a murder. The goal is to hint at the story while maintaining an air of mystery.

The walking dead
- 1. THE WALKING DEAD By Ted
- 2. Production Process Idea: Frank Darabont Development: Frank Darabont Pre Production: Charlie Adlard Charlie Moore Cast: Andrew Lincoln, Jon Bernthal, Laurie Holden, Chandler Riggs Production: Shot in georgia, America. Post Production: Sound by Bear McCreary, Distribution: The show is shown on the American channel AMC.
- 3. Purpose The purpose of the the show is to entertain the audience and make them fear for the characters lives. Also so they keep watching the show every week to make sure that they're favorite characters survive and the ones they dislike get eaten alive by flesh eating monsters.
- 4. Form and Style The show is around 40 minuets per episode with the first episode of each series being about an hour long. The mood of each episode is usually quite nervy, the characters are always worried and scared. Usually it is fairly relaxed at the beginning until something happens or someone dies, then it becomes a bit more edgy.
- 5. Content The main characters of the show are a group of friends who have been together from the start. In the heart of this group is Rick, he is the leader who lot his wife early on, and his two children. They are set in Atlanta but have been constantly moving since the beginning. Whenever we think they have settled down somewhere, something happens and they have to leave.
- 6. Meaning the show doesn’t really convey that big of a message, the only message id say there is, is that family is the most important thing for them in that situation. And that morals really go out the window when you are in the situations they are put in.
- 7. Genre The genre for this series is a sub genre of Horror/Fiction. A sub genre is where two genres are put together, this happens when a TV show or film has more than one main genre.
- 8. Target Audience I think the show is aimed at teenagers or young adults. The majority of websites say that you should be 16+ to watch the series. But, in the majority of the user reviews most parents disagree and say 14+ is the age in which children or teens should watch the series.
- 9. Frequency The show is on every week with about a months mid season break. After each season the show is usually stopped for around 7-12 months. Id say you defiantly have to watch it all to enjoy and understand the show, you cant just dip in and out. If you dip in 3 seasons in then you cant form as good a relationship with some of the characters. This is bad because the whole idea is that you follow certain characters around hoping they don’t die. If you did in and out you wont have this, and will get bored very easily.
