Although some identified the film's moral, many did not without seeing the protagonist's reaction, showing the importance of including all relevant footage. Overall, the film was generally enjoyed, with 18 out of 20 saying they liked it and 16 recommending it to a friend.
My target audience is 15-19 year olds who are interested in social media networking like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Keek and Blogger, as well as gaming and YouTube. They also enjoy socializing through activities like shopping, meeting up with friends, going for drinks and dates.
The document discusses the use of media technologies in the research, planning, and construction stages of a project. For research, the internet was used via browsers to research similar works and identify relevant codes and conventions. PowerPoint and Word were used to document findings, which were then uploaded to Blogger. In planning, PowerPoint and Word were used to create schedules and plans, while Any.Do was used to document tasks. Hardware like cameras and computers were used during construction, along with software like Final Cut Pro for editing footage and Photoshop/InDesign for ancillary construction. Websites like YouTube provided tutorials on using the software. Blogger documented the construction process.
The combination of the author's three products effectively creates a unified brand by linking the products together through common elements like genre, style, and appeal, while differentiating the products' focus on different characters. Using screenshots and similar design elements like fonts, colors, and effects across the products provides familiarity and consistency that promotes synergy greater than individual effects. The goal was to capture the suspense and mystery of the film in each product to consistently convey the intended feelings to the target audience.
This media product challenges some conventions of real thriller films and magazines in its opening scene, character interactions, and shot durations. However, it also uses several conventions common to the thriller genre, such as a protagonist being stalked by an antagonist and costuming the antagonist to appear mysterious. While developing some elements with a modern flair, like including social media reviews, the product aims to mirror real media in its camera work, character profiles, and use of filters and effects to set the scary tone typical of thrillers. Overall, it strives to balance challenging, developing, and using established forms and techniques from real media products in service of its narrative and target teenage audience.
This week's tasks include researching posters for films similar to Scream 4 and Taken 2.
The Scream 4 poster uses typical horror film conventions like red color and a murky background to convey mystery. It features three main characters to identify with from previous films. Minimal text promotes the new rules and decade.
The Taken 2 poster positions Liam Neeson with a gun to convey he is prepared for those coming after him. His facial expression shows stress and strength. Sans serif font and colors like red and white are commonly used in thriller and action movies.
Research on the Scream poster found its simplicity draws in audiences with one mysterious main image and minimal layered text. Color and positioning are used
The document analyzes and compares the posters for the films Scream 4 and Taken 2.
The Scream 4 poster uses typical horror film conventions like red color and a murky background to convey mystery. It features three main characters to identify with the story and uses minimal text.
The Taken 2 poster also keeps the layout simple with large margins between the image and text. It features Liam Neeson holding a gun to show he is prepared, conveying mystery through his expression and dark clothing. The font and colors are straightforward and synonymous with the thriller genre.
Both posters effectively use images, text, color, and layout conventions to intrigue audiences about the films' stories in under 3 sentences while
During the week, the student split their time contributing to and learning how to use the Apple program "Final Cut Pro" and researching and writing a double page spread for a magazine. Their findings helped them understand the language used in real media texts and what language would be suitable for their target audience of similar aged people interested in media and films. They chose to do an interview article because research showed their target audience preferred less technical language in magazines meant for leisurely reading and enjoyment. Specifically, they interviewed themselves as an up-and-coming young actor to follow a journey their target audience could relate to. They also worked with their group to begin editing filmed footage on Final Cut Pro, learning editing tools through trial and error and online research
The document summarizes the filming of scenes for a project during week 9. It describes meeting with actors at David's house to film scenes, with some delays. It discusses ensuring a variety of camera angles were used and an actor portrayed the right demeanor. It also covers researching converting audio to mp3 but finding quality was reduced, and instead advising using pre-installed soundtracks.
This week, the student spent time filming scenes for their group project. They filmed students leaving college to set the scene and introduce the main character Sophia. The student had to walk with the crowd for their first on-screen appearance. Later, they filmed a scene at their house where Sophia gets ready to meet Kwame. The student ensured props were in accessible locations near the mirror for smooth filming. They adopted Sophia's nervous personality during filming by altering their body language and facial expressions. They came up with the idea to use a split screen of Sophia and Kwame getting ready and then leaving to get items.
This document summarizes and analyzes the narrative conventions and techniques used in a short thriller film. It describes the opening scene where a mysterious figure enters the protagonist's bedroom while he sleeps. It then analyzes the use of lighting, camera angles like close-ups, and plot devices like dreams within the film to build tension and surprise the audience. The summary concludes with the figure lunging at the protagonist, leaving the audience on a cliffhanger to wonder what will happen next.
The camera work in the video effectively builds tension and engages the audience. Various shots such as long shots, mid shots, and close ups are used to focus on key elements, develop characters, and move the story forward. Fast-paced jump cuts between the protagonist and antagonist escalate tension as their interaction plays out. Camera movements like tracking and handheld shots emphasize fear and urgency from the protagonist's perspective. The isolated location and climax of the encounter are also highlighted through strategic camera placement and shots that tell the story in under 3 minutes.
The document analyzes and summarizes the locations used in a thriller film. It discusses how the first location of a dark, isolated room creates fear and tension. The second location of a café establishes normalcy before something suspicious occurs. Later locations along isolated roads foreshadow that the climax is approaching in a secluded area with no witnesses. The filming locations aid the atmosphere and camera techniques to further the thriller genre conventions.
The document discusses the codes and conventions of the thriller genre in film, TV, and writing. It aims to arouse feelings of ambiguity, shock, anxiety, fright and anticipation through the use of exciting, mysterious, tense, and suspenseful elements. Key conventions include the protagonist facing death, a focus on their point of view, credible representations of action and characters, themes of justice and morality, the presence of innocence in a corrupt world, and a mystery that must be solved. Locations, lighting, camera work, editing, sound, props, and costumes are all used to build atmosphere and suspense.
In week 6, the group took still shots for the storyboard to help understand what needed to be conveyed in the film. The author also researched thriller/drama short films on YouTube to learn codes and conventions, finding three films to analyze: "Kidnapped", "Knowing Too Much", and "Childhood Issues". They spoke to the actor playing Kwame about his scenes and arranged a future filming date. Additionally, the author scouted three potential locations for the killing scene: Clapham Common Park, Pollards Hill Park, and The Rookery in Streatham Common Park, analyzing the pros and cons of each site.
Last week, the author and their group members Janet and Femi spent their free periods taking photos to develop a storyboard for their short film. They broke down the script into individual shots and took pictures on campus to represent each scene. Their first shots showed a killer looking at someone's Facebook profile on a computer. They realized computer screens can cause glare issues in photos. The following week, they uploaded the photos and added camera angles and positioning to the storyboard. While working, the author viewed similar films and realized their genre was more thriller/drama than teen horror, as it lacked graphic violence typical of horror films. The author was not worried as further research could still help with acting and production.
In week 4, the group finalized the script by modernizing the characters and settings of a fable to fit a moral. As producer, they discussed roles and the workload was heavy in pre-production. The producer found possible actors for the antagonist, protagonist, and protagonist's friend from the drama department at their college. The producer also volunteered to play the main character to ensure reliability and allow for more filming. An actor was also found to play the antagonist. Storyboards were developed including shot descriptions, dialogue, and camera angles. Locations were considered for key scenes.
The document discusses common codes and conventions in horror films aimed at teenagers. Settings are usually isolated and familiar places like forests and schools at night. Characters typically include a villain, victim or "princess", and sometimes a hero. Props like knives are used to dramatize scenes and identify the genre. Editing builds tension through techniques like cross-cutting. Camera work and lighting emphasize atmosphere through angles and low lighting. Sound effects and music create an ominous atmosphere to scare the audience.
