Task 12 opening sequence draft 1
The document describes the key steps in developing a psychological thriller film. It begins with establishing the main character as a law student who becomes unexpectedly pregnant and faces disapproval from her mother and friend. In an emotionally charged moment after an argument, she is struck by a car and wakes up with amnesia. To regain her memories and understand her current situation, she must find her diary that documents the events leading up to the accident. The opening scene would set up this dilemma for the main character and disruption of her life that drives the narrative.

I prose
The document analyzes Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Tell-Tale Heart" through examining the characters and relationship between love and hate. It discusses how the narrator claims to love the old man he murders, but is driven to kill by his hatred of the man's eye. The story suggests love and hate are inseparable extremes of the same intense emotion. It analyzes how the narrator's own self-loathing is projected onto an imaginary version of himself represented by the old man. The document concludes the story effectively conveys a sense of horror and creepiness through its characters and Poe's skill at obscuring the narrator's identity.
Paper 10 - The American Literature. Topic :- The Tell Tale Heart By Edgar All...
The document provides details about the short story "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe. It includes the name and contact information of the student submitting a report on the story, along with background on Poe and an overview of the plot. The story is narrated by an unnamed murderer who kills an old man with a "vulture eye" and hides his body under the floorboards. When police investigate a neighbor's report of screams, the narrator's heart beat reveals his guilt despite the police finding no evidence of the crime.
Ideas for film name
The document discusses potential names for a horror film and provides definitions and reasoning for three options:
Phantasmal, which means a figment of the imagination or apparition and could work because it sounds like "phantom" and the film's plot involves friends thinking they see a dead murderer. Occult, which means mystical or supernatural powers and practices, could be effective because it implies something supernatural and the meaning tells the genre. Numinous, which means having a strong spiritual quality, is also a strong choice as it could suggest something above nature is haunting the characters, and it sounds like "moon" to link to nighttime events in the film.

Within third person there are subcategories of limited, where only one character's thoughts are known; omniscient, where the narrator knows all characters' thoughts; and objective, where no characters' inner thoughts are revealed. The document provides examples and tips to help identify a narrative's point of view.
Written treatment
The document outlines the key details of a horror film treatment called "The Walk". It takes place on a university campus and isolated house in the woods. The main characters are stereotypical college students on spring break. In Act 1, the students decide to stay in a remote house instead of on campus. In Act 2, one student hears a strange noise in the woods but gets distracted. Characters then start going missing. By Act 3, only one girl is left alive as the villain has been killing the other teenagers. The treatment provides characters, locations, a logline and brief summaries of each act to outline the plot of the slasher/psychological horror movie.

Point of View and Theme in literary work
This document discusses point of view and theme in stories. It describes the four main points of view: first person, third person (including omniscient, intrusive narrator, impersonal, and limited), and second person. First person narration tells the story from inside a character's perspective, while third person narration is outside the story referring to characters. Theme is defined as the meaning of a story, not its subject or moral. Discovering a story's theme requires a thorough reading to understand what the characters do and what happens to them and how that relates to the overall meaning.
Short film pitch
A short film pitch proposes a horror/mystery film about a girl who receives creepy messages on her phone from an unknown stalker as she makes her way home. Upon arriving home, she discovers a body and realizes the stalker has been following her movements. However, a twist ending reveals that the girl is actually the stalker who enjoys recreating her victims' experiences and manipulating their fears. The film is aimed at a 16-24 year old audience and uses realistic yet unsettling cinematography and music to surprise viewers with the reveal that the seemingly innocent girl is the true villain.
Film pitch
This document outlines a film pitch for a horror movie called "The Camp." The initial ideas included scenarios set in a park, forest, or haunted house. The finalized idea is a murder mystery horror set at a teenage camping trip. The opening scene would show the girls drinking, doing drugs, and teasing one girl who then goes missing. The rest of the film would follow the panicked search for the missing girl. Key elements would include point-of-view camera shots, creepy music, and a cliffhanger ending to the opening scene. The film aims to raise awareness of the dangers of drinking, drugs, and bullying.

Media Proposal
The document is a media proposal for a thriller opening about the disappearance of a girl in the forest. It will start with shots of tree branches and then a long shot of the girl playing with a balloon. When she runs away there will be a blackout implying kidnapping. At the end, a search party finds her hairband. The target audience is ages 14 and up. Inspiration comes from "The Missing" and "Mayday" title sequences. A variety of camera angles like close-ups will be used. The girl wears pink and the stalker wears black. Filming will take place in forests to seem isolated. Mysterious music with the girl's breathing will build tension.
Directors pitch
The directors pitch a short film idea called "I Walk the Line" about a girl named Ruby waking up after a party confused and noticing her necklace is missing. She finds it being held by another partygoer sleeping on the floor. As Ruby leaves the house, she sees a body on the floor and blood on the railing. Upon approaching, Ruby realizes the body is herself. The directors provide details on locations, props, shots, costumes, and characters for the two main characters: Ruby, the confused partygoer; and her friend who filmed her at the party.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.

Thriller Opening Pitch
- 1. Idea by: Leah Lawn
- 2. I have chosen to create a Thriller opening of the Psychological subgenre. I have chosen this as I have watched many psychological thrillers, such as Donnie Darko, Black Swan and Gone girl and therefore have a vast knowledge of them. Additionally, I find them the least “cheap” in that usually, the characters are three dimensional and interesting. I also find that scares that come from the mind are far scarier than jumpscares, gore etc.
- 3. I intend to aim my Thriller opening to older teens and young adults, typically between the ages of 16-25. I have noticed that subgenres that are more confusing, such as Psychological/Sci- fi/Political are not as easily consumed as horror, etc. therefore, while people in this young teens could watch my opening and enjoy it but many may not understand the concept of it.
- 4. My opening will be set in the morning, around 6/7am, as if the protagonist has just woken up. It will be in a unruly forest, with leaves, branches everywhere and the protagonist will be isolated.
- 5. My film will be called A Memory. A young girl of 16 wakes up in the middle of a forest, after a hectic night before. She is wearing torn up clothes with cuts and scrapes everywhere, and has messy make up on with matted hair. Unable to fully see, she begins to walk around the forest in order to take in the scenery. We get an idea that she is mentally ill, as she hears whispers in her head. Suddenly, she sees objects that remind her of what she did last night. For example, she sees a needle on the floor and it reminds her of being injected with pharmaceuticals. We see more of her visions, but we are not sure whether these actually happened or if they are in her imagination. Finally, something reminds her of her jumping off a building, but clearly this never happened as she is still alive. The opening ends here, and we are left with an enigma.
