Analysis of the falling man
This documentary analyzed the falling man from 9/11 through interviews and archive footage in a non-linear structure. It used close-ups in interviews and tilting shots of stills to investigate the identity of the falling man, though it did not definitively determine who he was.

Achieve footage of the attacks was prominently featured.
Film idea
Character 1 hears strange noises at home and believes their house is being invaded. They arm themselves with household items and search the house, finding their friend in one of the rooms. Relieved, they go outside and see an actual group of robbers approaching the house.
The short film is meant to be a tense thriller told from the perspective of Character 1, a paranoid and easily frightened person who works a boring office job. The realistic setting of their home is meant to heighten the suspense and make the threat of invasion feel relatable. Stylistic choices like dark colors, blue tinting, and diegetic sounds further the isolated and tense atmosphere. The target audience is teens and young adults who enjoy susp
Communication
This film will follow one man through his daily life without any verbal communication. No humans have spoken for two generations. The film will have a documentary style as the man goes about normal daily activities like eating, sleeping, working, and spending time with friends, all while being filmed but not interacting with the camera. Subtitles will provide the man's perspective and thoughts in diary form to convey the story and world where no one speaks. The filmmaker aims to use long, smooth camera shots and black and white photography to focus attention on the subtitles and visuals in this quiet, isolated story without speech.
Pitch y2 final

Examples are given of how the films The Shining and Texas Chainsaw Massacre use Todorov's and Levi-Strauss's theories respectively.
Opening Sequence- Initial Ideas Pitch
The document outlines the opening sequence pitch for a film, including a narrative involving two versions of a similar event with different endings, and an ident featuring a light bulb finding its way through a maze. It also lists elements of mise-en-scene like the characters, locations, lighting, props, and cinematography techniques, as well as editing, sound, and the mood and tone.

Now thrillers are one of the most established film genres, with different types including psychological thrillers, conspiracy thrillers, and crime thrillers. Typical characters in thrillers include killers, victims, police, and crime solvers who help build audience anticipation. Iconography like weapons, lighting, locations, and silhouettes are used to create suspense and tension. Popular thrillers often spawn sequels and series due to audience reception.
Documentary styles and influences
The document outlines different styles and genres of documentaries:
- Direct cinema from the 1960s used cheap equipment, had no narrator or author opinion, and aimed to let the audience draw their own conclusions.
- Cinéma vérité took a fly-on-the-wall approach and expressed the filmmaker's point of view, using interviews.
- Observational documentaries take a fly-on-the-wall look at places of work but have given way to docusoaps.
- Performative documentaries are based on personalities with fast editing and narratives like reality TV shows.
- Investigative documentaries on public TV explore issues in a sometimes polemical style.

Amy finalpresentation2
This document summarizes Amy Hong's thesis project exploring her cultural identity as both a Korean and Korean American. Her project will examine these two perspectives through two lenses, showing what each culture sees, hears, and feels about the other. She cites precedents that demonstrate two sides communicating with each other. Her thesis statement is that she wants to explore her cultural identity as a 1.5 generation Korean American to depict the different views from her Korean and American perspectives.
Codes and conventions
Narrative themes in horror films typically involve death, murder, ghosts, and spirits. Horror narratives follow a cycle from equilibrium to disruption to recognition to attempted repair and back to equilibrium. Mise-en-scene elements include low lighting to suggest darkness and danger, settings during the late 20th century for increased security risks, and weapons as props to further connotations of danger. Sound design uses both diegetic and non-diegetic music, with orchestral music commonly used for its scare factor in non-diegetic tracks. Characters tend to be teenage friendship groups or women to increase relatability and play on stereotypes. Editing employs quick cuts and takes to build tension alongside music, with slower takes for less tension;
Narrative Theorists
The document discusses two narrative theorists - Vladimir Propp and Gustav Freytag. Propp identified seven character archetypes that commonly appear in narratives, including villains, helpers, and heroes. Freytag analyzed narrative structure and identified five parts of a dramatic storyline: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. The author explains how they applied Propp's character types but not Freytag's structural model to their film project in order to keep viewers constantly surprised.

EVALUATION FOR THROUGH MY EYES QUESTION 2
Through My Eyes does not explicitly show the main character's ethnicity, leaving viewers to determine it themselves. This was intentional to observe different reactions. The character is ex-military, which some may criticize as disregarding others' property, though the film justifies his actions out of survival in the desolate setting. The working class home he enters and the derelict area suggest poorer classes would not survive due to lack of funds, while his past as a soldier gives him a higher class in the new system.
