Vertigo analysis
The document analyzes the opening title sequence of the film Vertigo. It describes 7 shots that zoom in on a woman's face and eyes, showing no emotion at first but then fear as her eyes dart around. The sixth shot turns red and shows the movie title "Vertigo" emerging from her eye. The seventh shot features a spiral illusion emerging from her eye, suggesting hallucinations. The remaining shots continue illusory spirals that may represent eyes.
Ideas for psychological thriller
Idea 2 is the best opening sequence for a psychological thriller. It begins with an establishing shot of a house on a sunny day, then a tracking shot through the house to a family photo. The parents tell their son they are having a baby. The diegetic sound fades as a high-pitched static increases. Idea 2 creates mystery through unclear visuals and an unknown figure. Flashbacks generate tension and suspense. Idea 1 gives away the plot, while Idea 3 does not clearly illustrate the genre through lighting and shots used. Idea 2 best meets conventions through its cinematography, narrative tension, and ambiguity about characters and their motives.
Evaluation media
This document evaluates how a media product uses conventions of real thriller films. It analyzes two pictures from the opening sequence. The first picture features a mystery person in a black hoodie whose face is hidden, creating ambiguity and an enigmatic scene as the audience wonders their identity. The second picture shows a character running in a dark corridor, portraying her fleeing danger through the gloomy atmosphere, engaging audiences with the mystery of why she is running.

Cinematography Beth
The document discusses various camera shots and techniques used in a film scene. A wide shot is used to foreshadow events and reveal a birthday cake. A medium close up tilts the camera down, making the subject look weak and vulnerable. A mid shot opens up to show the room and exaggerate the seriousness of the situation. A cutaway to a heart monitor builds tension as the monitor stops beeping. A mid shot allows the viewer to see the subject's expression but also the background as lights start going out, creating dramatic irony. A wide shot emphasizes there are only two ways to go and the subject looks lost.

Having a storyline can help the artist relate to their audience and gain a wider following. Costumes should be used to create different scenes within the video.
