Movie opening
The group decided on an opening scene for their thriller film involving the murder of one of four girls. The scene would begin with the girls having dinner at a cafe before one girl is followed and murdered alone on a dark street. Her three friends would then receive a threatening text message. The film would cut to a dark room with photos of the girls on display, and the murderer would cross off the murdered girl upon hearing news of her "suicide" on the radio. The target audience for the psychological thriller would be 16-20 year olds, and filming locations would include a cafe near Marks Gate and the school drama room to represent the dark room. Props would involve fake weapons and photos, and permissions would need to be
The women in black analysis
The opening sequence of The Women in Black contains elements of a typical horror film but presents them in a gloomy and creative way. It shows three girls having a tea party with dolls in an attic-like setting. Their play becomes increasingly disturbing as they lose emotion and control of their actions, walking ominously toward an open window. The sequence builds tension by suggesting the girls are being possessed before they jump from the window to their deaths, witnessed by a figure dressed in black. This mysterious opener leaves the audience wanting to learn more about the character in black and the events that transpired.
Treatment
The document discusses the details of a horror film called "Don't Look Behind". It will target teenagers and young adults aged 15-25. The main themes are murder, mystery, and paranormal activity. The film is about a woman being haunted by her little sister who she killed as a child. Camera shots will include close-ups, panning shots, and zooming to build tension. The film will feature creepy music and sounds to enhance the scary atmosphere.
Treatment
1) The document provides a treatment sheet for a horror film opening sequence called "Savage" involving a girl named Sophie encountering a mysterious figure in the woods.
2) The opening sequence outline describes Sophie walking home through the woods while on the phone, hearing noises, and having a brief encounter with her friend before he is suddenly killed by the masked killer.
3) Technical details include the sequence being set in the present day and filming locations in a forest and burn valley to capture the isolated feel.
Synopsis ideas
Two teenagers are kidnapped and tied to chairs in a dark room filled with torturing equipment. As the teenagers struggle to escape, their friends desperately search for clues to find them. The friends have a flashback to an item belonging to one of the teenagers that gives them a lead. The opening scene then cuts between the torture room, where a man in black hovers over the teenagers with a tool, and the friends' search to find the kidnapped teenagers before it's too late.
Thriller opening pitch
A psychological thriller film is proposed that follows an unknown man as he stalks and brutally attacks a young woman in the subway. The opening scene establishes the man taking covert photos of the girl and shows that he has extensively documented information about her life. This is intended to draw the audience into trying to uncover the identity of the mysterious antagonist and understand his motives for killing the girl. The film is aimed at audiences 16 years and older due to its disturbing content.

This document outlines a psychological film idea and conventions of the genre. It proposes a story where a woman is followed by a hooded boy on her way home. She feels uneasy and hears strange noises. When she arrives home, she finds the boy covered in blood inside. The summary raises narrative enigmas like who the characters are and why they are involved. It also notes that the antagonist being normal and settings being relatable follows conventions of psychological films, which aim to unnerve viewers through characters' fears and hidden truths.
Assignment 22 development of ideas
The document discusses potential opening sequences for a film project. It includes a list of films watched by the group for inspiration. The original idea was about a girl leaving the hospital to commit suicide, but being stopped. New ideas proposed drawing from other films include a girl stalked by her twin sister, a girl experiencing hallucinations of people disappearing, and hallucinations triggered by a date related to a past trauma. The group settled on 4 main ideas: a girl being stalked by her dead sister and committing suicide; a girl having flashbacks on a bus of her boyfriend's death; a girl leaving the hospital unable to see people actually there; and an isolated girl injuring herself while hallucinating.

Evaluation media
My film is a thriller defined by its dark poster and magazine cover featuring mysterious imagery. The trailer establishes the thriller genre through fast pacing, tension-building music and camerawork. It follows the protagonist Nina versus pursuing government forces. Nina disrupts the story's equilibrium and must establish a new one. Key themes include loss of childhood and portrayals of females. The target audience is young females who may connect with the young female protagonist, with young males also a potential audience.
Initial ideas
The document provides an overview of the writer's initial ideas for the opening of their crime/thriller film. The opening will focus on three teens on the run after committing a murder in the middle of the night. It will start with shots outside and inside a house where the murder takes place. The suspects will then be chased by police in a series of close calls as they disagree on how to proceed. Each suspect will have a distinct personality that causes problems - one is violent, one thinks he's always right, and one is anxious and weak.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Thriller opening pitch
- 1. THRILLER OPENING PITCH By Shanice Khalef
- 2. What Sub-genre am I going to use? The sub-genre I plan to use is psychological thriller. Psychological thrillers highlight the abnormal psychological state of a character in a film. The effect of this is usually to create a mystery plot, drama or action type of plot, this allows the suspense and tension to build up more thoroughly for the audience allowing more viewers to want to join and watch and also leaving the audience questioning why the character is doing this. An example of a psychological thriller that contains these elements is the film called ‘The Stepfather’, the man gets married to the woman and treats her well but all this time he was only planning how to kill them, although she never done anything to him, he still wanted to hurt her and her family.
- 3. My Intended Target Audience My thriller opening film will be targeted at young people age from 16 to 24. This is because young people are the ones who ten to visit the cinemas to watch thriller films rather than adults as they are much more busy with work and children always tend to be age restricted. I also have chosen to have my target audience as young people because it is usually more relatable and it is more thrilling to them and appealing because of the young characters and the audience.
- 4. Setting: The location I would like to use for my thriller opening is the outside of a restaurant, when the sky is dark and the characters are more prone to danger. I have chosen the outside of a restaurant because it is usually busy and I don’t want to isolate my character yet- this is because I would like the suspense and tension to build up later on where we just start at a normal scene where everything is normal then suddenly something bad happens.
- 5. My Idea: To begin with, the scene with start with four girls finishing dinner at a restaurant talking about one of the girls who keep receiving weird anonymous messages but only thinks it someone pulling a prank, the girls the leave the restaurant. As we get up three of the girls go one way and the last girl goes the opposing way on her own in the streets. She then walks ahead and hears footsteps behind her as she turns around nothings there so she eventually decides to speed up and then she sees a shadowed figure later on and just as she’s about to scream, she is killed. After this her three friends get a text saying ‘you’re next. –V’. Straight after this scene the news comes on reporting the death of a girl however they believe to think that it was suicide.
