Paranormal activity poster analysis
The poster for Paranormal Activity 2 features an actual snapshot from the film footage to give viewers a taste of what's to come. The poster is rather basic with few special effects, which is a deliberate choice to suggest the scary moments in the film are real paranormal activity rather than fabricated effects. The text and font on the poster are typical of a horror film, with the red title implying blood, anger, and pain, while the all-caps bold font gives the title a shouted, memorable quality.

P task reflection.ptx
The document reflects on a preliminary filmmaking task where the student encountered several issues including lack of planning, minimal group contribution and communication, and uncooperative group members. As a result, the shoot was poorly organized with no script, inconsistent shots, and very slow production speed. The student learned they need to create a solid script, choose group members more carefully, split up tasks to keep everyone busy, and think about editing while shooting to get alternative shots and angles.
Film institutions
This document summarizes research on three major film studios - 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros, and Universal Pictures - as potential partners for producing and distributing a horror film. 20th Century Fox primarily focuses on comedy, fantasy and family films, and prefers to distribute rather than produce horror. Warner Bros has produced and distributed many well-known horror films. Universal Pictures has less experience with the horror genre and its horror films were not as successful as Warner Bros'. Therefore, Warner Bros is concluded to be the best partner out of the three studied.
Typography titles
This document provides guidelines for typography and fonts used for titles in a movie called "Exodus". It recommends the font "Die Hund" sized at 20 plus and spaced at 0.75 for the title "GRID PRODUCTIONS" for its sci-fi and futuristic look. It also suggests the font "Agency FB" sized at 20 plus and spaced at 0.25 for the title "Starring" as it looks both sci-fi and like a font used in thriller movies involving detectives.
Lighting ideas
Flood lights around the set would provide necessary lighting for good footage output. The use of three to four flood lights would be enough as they are capable of lighting outdoors or indoors. Natural lighting such as the sun or indoor lights was considered but rejected due to the relative darkness of the room, so flood lights were used instead to provide sufficient lighting for better footage output.
Location ideas
The document provides location ideas for a project including space, a surgical theatre, and an overhead shot of Earth. For the space shot, stock NASA imagery was edited in Photoshop and used as a background in After Effects. The surgical theatre was created on a set by dressing a table with medical equipment and adding flood lights and a curtain. The overhead Earth shot was made using Cinema 4D to model the Earth with layered textures for clouds, land, and sea along with lighting effects and tiny lights in the dark areas to represent human infrastructure.
Horror films
Horror films seek to elicit negative emotions in audiences by playing on primal fears involving themes like the supernatural and macabre. Common horror roles include ghosts, aliens, vampires, and more. The earliest horror shorts date back to the late 1890s and included supernatural events, helping to establish the genre. Directors like Alfred Hitchcock developed unique styles for representing horror through techniques like cameo appearances and allowing the camera to take on human qualities that drew audiences into the mystery. Hitchcock also tended to use opposing gender stereotypes in his films by portraying female characters as dangerous and risk-taking, while males were more caring and risk-averse.

Film opening analysis the avengers
The document analyzes the lighting, editing, and sound techniques used in five scenes of a film. In scene one, the lighting is dark to imply evil, the editing uses slow pans to establish shots of oddly dressed figures by a planet, and the sound includes diegetic dialogue and non-diegetic minor-toned background music. Scene two also has dark lighting except for mountains in the distance and a helicopter, and the editing quickly cuts to the helicopter with matching graphics while the sound includes non-diegetic music and diegetic helicopter noise. Scene three through five continue advancing the story with changing lighting, faster editing pacing, and incorporating both diegetic character sounds and the non-diegetic SHIELD theme music.

It provides examples of the openings to Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and The Nightmare Before Christmas, noting the use of dark lighting, creepy non-diegetic music, and quick cuts between shots to build an ominous mood in each.

Actor ideas
This document lists potential actors for roles in a production called Exodus. For the doctor role, Michael Green is suggested because his beard and glasses make him look the part of a doctor and he has previous acting experience. Vasoula Christidoulu is proposed for the nurse role as she is between 23-30 years old and is a good actor. Christopher Von Clienmen is put forward for the inspector part since he has a suit and looks the detective type. Joe Sebastian Appleby is listed for the patient role mainly because he was available at the time of filming and looks younger than the rest of the cast.
Test shots
The document discusses test shots for the film Exodus and focuses on the character Josh Pyne. It indicates that the test shots were done in a surgical theatre. Only limited context is provided in the short document, but it appears to relate to preparing test footage for the character and scenes involving a surgical setting for the film Exodus.
Props, costumes and sets

The costumes consist of a lab coat, two suits, a nurses outfit, and surgical gloves. It also mentions a cost breakdown for the props and sets.
Shooting Script
The detective enters a room where a doctor and nurse are examining an unconscious patient. The doctor is irritated by the interruption but the detective insists on knowing what is happening. They discuss that the patient has been unconscious since arriving with extremely low pulse. The doctor injects the patient with a needle after the nurse passes it to him. The detective learns the patient was found near a crash site but had no cuts or bruises. The detective then examines the patient before thanking the doctor and leaving.
What i will see
The institutional logo plays with electronic robot sounds and a grid growing effect. The camera then zooms in on the logo until it comes into focus and fades out, starting the credits. Next, the camera pans to a model of Earth while creepy music and breathing can be heard in the background. Text passes like stars and asteroids as the camera moves through space towards Earth. After a supposed spaceship crashes into the model planet, the scene cuts to a character walking into a room and interacting with others. As they converse, walking, talking, coughing and doors can be heard in the background along with creepy music that gets louder at certain points to signify changes or importance, with camera angles focusing on specific characters.
Brief intro to renewable energy
Renewable energy comes from resources that replenish naturally like sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat. It contributed 19% to global energy consumption and 22% to electricity generation in 2012-2013. Worldwide investments in renewable technologies amounted to over $214 billion in 2013, with many countries heavily investing in wind, hydro, solar and biofuels. Renewable resources exist across wide geographical areas unlike other energy sources. Rapid deployment of renewables is resulting in significant benefits to energy security, climate change mitigation and economics. National renewable markets are projected to continue growing strongly in the coming decades.

Which opening is most effective and achievable
- 1. Which Opening Is Most Effective and Achievable? EXODUS – Josh Pyne
- 2. For My Opening I Have Decided To Use A Mixture Of All Three So for example I am going to use my institutional logo at the start, then cut to a zoomed pan of the earth, and then cut to my character being followed by the camera and walking into the door and entering the room full of characters which he then starts to converse with and interact with the set around him.
- 3. Why? Since my film opening is in the Sci-Fi/Thriller film genre, I have added the earth zoom in pan. But I have also added the Digital grid institutional logo to represent technology and futuristic effects to signify the Sci-Fi genre. And then it cuts into the footage, so then the audience already has an idea that it’s a Sci-Fi/Thriller genre film opening.
