Thriller Opening
The document discusses ideas for thriller openings and conventions of the genre. It provides examples of openings from films like The Dark Knight and Se7en that use fast edits, close-ups, tense music and establish a criminal act with no dialogue. Several original ideas are pitched that involve a serial killer who is the president's son, a man with supernatural powers seeking revenge, and a contract killing gone wrong. The document suggests a thriller opening should be dark, mysterious, and tense through the use of music, lighting, and leaving the audience on edge without dialogue.
Multimedia storyboard1
McQueen's films rely on visualization over narration to tell stories of human suffering and struggle. Through close-ups of emaciated bodies during hunger strikes, naked scenes depicting sex addiction, and images of whip marks and lynchings, McQueen shows the physical toll of his protagonists' circumstances without explaining their inner thoughts. His unflinching visual style aims to make audiences feel the pain and truth of the stories rather than just understand them intellectually. A through-line in his work is using the body as a way to depict narratives and communicate what cannot be said through words alone.
Music video Narrative Elements
1. A man stops his car at dusk and sees a shining white silhouette of a woman. This prompts him to remember his relationship with a past girlfriend.
2. The man and girlfriend get into a fight where he becomes enraged and pushes her, making her cry and feel threatened.
3. After some time passes, the girlfriend leaves the man while he watches, crying in the corner. He unsuccessfully tries to contact her and win her back.
4. Over a year later, the girlfriend contacts the man to meet. She tells him she is pregnant with another man's child. The man attacks her in anger before running away.
Storyboard
1) The document analyzes several close-up shots from a film that suggest a man is secretly planning something sinister while on a date with a woman.
2) Shots show the man subtly judging the woman and emphasize his neat and orderly personality in contrast to her posture.
3) Images of the man slicing a steak and pouring wine are meant to metaphorically foreshadow violence, as the blood and wine symbolize spilling blood.
Proposal
Detective Hunter must investigate the unexplained murder of his son Ethan during a camping trip with friends. As he interviews each friend present at the scene of the crime, he begins to piece together clues about his son's secret life and double identity.

Genre analysis
Indie rock originated in the UK and US in the 1980s, emerging from alternative rock. It is a diverse genre encompassing styles like indie pop and lo-fi. While initially underground, many indie rock bands have achieved commercial success since the 2000s due to changes in the music industry. Key characteristics include independence from major labels and a DIY ethic. Influences include punk, psychedelia, and rock. Prominent indie labels emerged in the 1980s and the genre saw increased mainstream exposure in the 1990s with bands like Nirvana.

A Canon EOS 60D was used to film the video, which is 4 minutes and 46 seconds long. Props included a chair, bottles, and a camping fire.
Initial ideas
A young man moves from the suburbs to the city and struggles with the mental and physical toll it takes. The music video will contrast his happier childhood in the suburbs with his current fragile state in the city. Flashbacks will show him enjoying time with friends as a youth, emphasizing how much better those times were. The city will be portrayed with dark lighting while his hometown had a mellow, positive tone to highlight the different environments' effects on him.
Treatment sheet 2
The document discusses a treatment sheet for a music video. The first half shows a young man living happily in the suburbs. The second half shows him older, struggling in the city where he lives. Over time, the city takes a toll on him physically and mentally. In the end, he returns to the suburbs and commits suicide, finding happier memories there. The band's style is described as indie rock with a casual yet mature look to relate to their audience. Costumes are discussed to show the main character as a young adult dressed for work but rugged from city life, and as a late teen dressed casually with ambitions for the future. The treatment was informed by audience research results.
Shot count
This document outlines the 254 shots in the Deftones music video for "Rocket Skates", including high angle overhead views of the band, handheld shots to give a livelier performance feel, medium closeups of individual band members both in and out of focus for a faster motion, closeups and extreme closeups of props like guns and knives matching the song lyrics, establishing shots setting the scene, and camera techniques like pull focus, mechanical shots, and whip pans.
Lyric analysis
The song lyrics describe a building sexual tension between two people who want to act on their desires. In the music video, books are thrown representing religious rules against lust. It begins raining blood, symbolizing judgment. The video shows a group in a confined space, creating intimacy as natural attraction occurs for all. Thrown books returning and sky turning red represents being judged for breaking rules, but following natural feelings regardless. The lyrics and video explore natural human desires and lust, despite religious condemnation of such feelings.
Skills audit
Milo Watson completed a personal skills audit to assess the skills used in creating their previous media production project and how they plan to further develop those skills for their next project. For their previous project, Milo used Final Cut Express HD, Photoshop, and other software to edit footage and alter colors, shadows, and highlights to create tension. They researched online using sources like Wikipedia and YouTube and analyzed conventions from media texts like films of the same genre. For their next project, Milo plans to experiment more with technologies, complete more advanced editing, research from a wider range of sources including tutorials, and analyze source footage in greater depth to better understand how to achieve their goals.
Treatment sheet
The document provides a treatment sheet for a short film about a young man who moves from the suburbs to the city. In the suburbs, he is happy and comfortable with his simple life.

Question 6
The document discusses what the author learned about technologies from creating an opening sequence for a project. They used a Canon XL1 camera for filming, which they had to learn how to pull focus with. They also struggled with not having a large enough tripod. For editing, they used Final Cut Express HD and learned how to apply filter effects to achieve the dark, ill-looking tone they wanted. They created the soundtrack in Cubase 6 using a MIDI board and were able to add drone noises and strange effects to create a tense atmosphere.
Question 5
The document discusses how the author attracted their audience for a thriller film opening sequence project. Through research, the author found that the main demographic for thrillers is males aged late teens to young adults. Popular conventions in thrillers include suspense, twists, and unique antagonists. To emulate these conventions, the author analyzed successful thriller films like "Seven" and incorporated mysterious openings, dark settings, and unsteady camera angles in their own sequence. They received positive feedback praising the protagonist's psychotic behavior and use of effects, showing they successfully captured thriller elements. The author believes more time could improve their work but that the initial outcome was a success.
Question 4
The document discusses research conducted to determine the target audience for a media thriller project. A survey found that late teens and young adults were the largest audience for modern thrillers. The survey also found that psychological thrillers were the most popular subgenre. Films like Seven and Silence of the Lambs were influences because they featured memorable, twisted antagonists. Additional research on IMDB found that thrillers like Seven appealed most to those aged 18-30. Therefore, the author concluded that the main target audience for the media project should be late teens and young adults.
Question 3
This document discusses which media institution would be best suited to distribute a thriller film with a small cast and straightforward plot. It argues that the film would work well as a TV movie released on ITV, as titles released as TV movies on that channel have found success. ITV has a reputation for high quality productions and has aired the top 4 most popular thriller films. To attract audiences to the TV movie format, the film uses conventions of the thriller genre, including low lighting, a grim color tone, and props that provide context about the antagonist character. Meeting genre conventions through elements like these in the opening sequence would help capture thriller fans and achieve high ratings for the channel.
Question 2
The document summarizes the representation of social groups in the opening sequence of a media product. It describes a character who is lonely, damaged, and possibly schizophrenic. He has no social connections and feels hatred towards others.

Blinking effects throughout the sequence show his unstable mind. The character has both innocent and twisted aspects, relating him to a target teenage male audience who may identify with his lonely and moody persona.
Question 1
The document discusses the opening sequence of a psychological thriller film and how it uses conventions of the genre. Specifically, it used canted camera angles and dull colors to set an unsettling atmosphere. The setting was meant to be unpleasant and eerie, taking inspiration from films like Seven. Certain scenes portrayed the dark and twisted main character, like a shot of a spider surrounded by darkness to represent his isolation. The conventions established that this is a thriller through the scenery, props, tense music, and portrayal of an untrustworthy main character. Specific elements like rusted nails were used because they relate to pain, a familiar element in thrillers. The dirty, run-down room setting further represented the antagonist. The music incorporated
