The group chose to do a thriller film and decided to research the basic conventions of the thriller genre. They specifically looked at the film Black Swan to analyze its opening scene. The analysis describes the opening scene which starts with credits over a black background with ominous music. It then shows a ballerina dancing on a lit stage with contrasting dark background. The scene cuts between shots of her feet and body as she dances to the music. A male dancer then joins and seems to stalk her as the music becomes more tense. They engage in a dramatic dance before he leaves her alone on the stage. The next scene shows the main character waking from this dream.Initial pitch ideas

The document outlines initial pitch ideas for a music video featuring an indie rock song. It proposes telling a comedic narrative of two people stealing something small who are then chased by police throughout a town as the band performs in cameo appearances. Special effects like slow motion and stop-motion would enhance the exaggerated performance and pacing of the chase scene. The video would include multiple urban settings and open with an establishing shot before fading to the performance in a dark subway.Storyboard

The document analyzes the structure and narrative techniques used in the trailers for three horror movies: Annabelle, Sinister, and The Woman in Black. All three trailers start with establishing long shots of houses to set the scenes. They then use musical cues, intercutting scenes, and revelations of priest/police characters to build tension and surprise before revealing the central threats - the doll in Annabelle, disturbing finds in the attic in Sinister, and the ominous house in The Woman in Black. The trailers effectively employ pacing, music, and narrative devices to frighten and intrigue potential viewers.Script for film opening

The music video will have a fragmented and circular narrative following a restless man and the emotional support of a woman. Scenes will include the two waking up together with her wearing his shirt, spending time in the woods drinking coffee, and the man showing vulnerability alone in his room at night. The woman wears a red dress to lift his spirits and they go out together where lights and colors change throughout the night. Repeated shots at the beach hint at the cycle repeating as the video ends with the woman turning out the light for the man to sleep, implying the cycle will continue again.Treatment slideshow

The document analyzes the opening sequences of the films Submarine and The Graduate. In Submarine, ambient sounds of the sea and seagulls are used to establish the seaside setting. Voiceover from the main character Oliver Tate is used to introduce him as an introspective narrator. In The Graduate, dramatic sound effects play during the opening credits to draw attention, and plane ambient sounds set the scene of the main character arriving in Los Angeles. Both films establish setting and character through simple, slow-paced ambient sounds and music in line with the comedy-drama genre.Sound analysis

The document provides an initial plan for a music video for the song "Cannibal" by Ke$ha. It will tell the story of a female cannibal who entices and eats male victims. The video will have a horror theme and portray the main actress in an unsettling, animalistic way. It will include three costume changes for the actress and feature makeup designs that enhance the horror and cannibalism themes. Inspiration is drawn from the disturbing music videos of Rihanna's "Disturbia" and Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi". The target audience is older viewers who will be attracted by the horror elements and focus on the female actress' sexuality and dominance over men.Alt j breezeblocks analysis

The music video for Alt J's "Breezeblocks" depicts a story of domestic violence between a couple in reverse. It shows the events that lead to a woman's death in a bathtub, with a breezeblock on top of her. The video fits conventions of alternative music videos by using its visuals to represent the song's meaning in a dark, artistic way. It effectively uses camerawork like close-ups and editing techniques like varying shot speeds and a reverse narrative to immerse the viewer in the unsettling story.More from KatieDring123 (18)

The survey results showed that more female students aged 16-18 with part-time jobs watch music videos than males. Pink and Bruno Mars were favorite pop artists. Narrative music videos featuring stories were preferred. Most audience members use YouTube converters to purchase music, though some prefer iTunes for quality. Social media does not generally influence music tastes, but can help discover independent artists. The task helped establish the target audience which will inform creating a Voki and rate card, and later evaluating the music video's audience.

Psychological thrillers commonly use certain conventions in their mise-en-scene, sound, and camera work/editing to build tension and suspense. Settings are often in cities or confined indoor spaces like houses or offices to limit characters. Costuming typically features the antagonist in dark, smart clothes while the protagonist wears brighter colors. Low lighting, mirrors as props, and non-diegetic high tension music or silence are employed. Quick editing, mid shots and close ups are used to show characters' emotions and relate tension. Flashbacks provide backstory while fast pacing keeps audiences on edge.Evaluation target audiences

Shannon O'Conner, a 17-year-old student who enjoys psychological thriller films, was shown the opening clip for a new film. She said that she enjoyed the clip and thought it effectively built suspense through tense music. While initially confused by the storyline, she felt it fit the psychological thriller genre once a nightmare scene introduced a character struggling with a mental problem. Shannon praised the actor's performance, and said she wants to see the rest of the film and would watch it in theaters.Evaluation task 3 new

The group researched psychological thriller films and found that Warner Brothers was a common major distributor. Warner Brothers had distributed successful psychological thrillers like The Orphan and Copycat. The group decided Warner Brothers would be the best choice to distribute their film because films they distributed had large budgets and earned close to double their budgets. A large budget would allow for better production quality and marketing. Warner Brothers' experience distributing similar films would also help the group make a memorable and effective film. Choosing a major well-known distributor like Warner Brothers would help publicize and promote the film, increasing the chances of success and profit.Evaluation task 3 new

Warner Brothers would be the best distributor for the film because they have successfully distributed many psychological thriller films in the past with large budgets. Their experience distributing films in this genre would help the film succeed and they have the resources to promote the film widely in theaters. Choosing a major distributor like Warner Brothers over a small independent one would give the film a better chance of being shown in cinemas rather than just released online or straight to DVD.Evaluation task one

- 1. Thriller
- 2. • After looking at all the different types of genres and exploring them in detail we then as a group had to decide on a chosen genre. We decided to choose a thriller as we all enjoy watching thriller films. We thought this would be a better choice picking this genre type as we all have an understanding of them and thought this would help us produce an effective two minute film opening. • Although we picked the genre thriller we then had to decide again what type of sub–genre to do as there are many types of thriller. But before this we are going to research two basic conventions that you would find in all thriller films.
- 3. The Conventions of the Genre thriller.
- 4. Black Swan analysis • The film begins with the Fox pictures/Cross Creek pictures opening credits sequence. The screen then goes black and low, classical, eerie music begins to play. This sound at the moment is non diegetic as it doesn't fit with the scene we see. We then see an appearance of white bold writing saying ‘ Black Swan’ which appears on a black background that introduces the title of the film. After several seconds of darkness we then see a spotlight which is directed onto what seems like a ballet dancer who’s dressed in white clothing. The spotlight illuminates the ballet dancers white clothing which contrasts with the black background. This could indicate that the film is about good verses evil and she is a pure character in a dark world. The classical music that we heard throughout the opening credits has sound bridge over into another scene but now it becomes a diegetic sound as classical music is something we expect to hear when watching a ballet dancer perform. After we see the long shot of the ballet dancer, the camera then cross cuts to a close up of the ballet dancer’s feet while she dances in rhythm to the classical music we can hear. The camera then zooms out so we can see more of the ballet dancer’s legs. The ballet dancer then gracefully sits down onto the floor were we can see her face for the first time. The camera then cuts to a long shot of the ballet dancer’s back where we can see a second male character join the shot. We then see an over the shoulder shot where the man is being tracked whilst he’s walking towards the ballet dancer. The slow classical music suddenly become tense when the male character joins the scene. This could suggest that he is bad news. This also shows as he’s walking toward the ballet dancer who's back is turned away from him in the shadows whilst she's in the light. This shows a modern representation of a male as he is shown as being the more dominant one, while the woman is being shown as being vulnerable which is a traditional representation of a woman. Once the male character is closer to the ballet dancer she stands up and we see a close up of the ballet dancer’s face and she looks vulnerable. She then takes an intake of breath which is synchronised with the diegetic classical music. The couple then begin to dance in a cat and mouse way where the man dancer stalks around her, this suggest that she is weak which is a traditional representation of a woman. The classical music then speeds up and becomes more dramatic. Whilst this is going on we see the male character develop what looks like devil ears on top of his head. This could suggest that he’s vile approaching an innocent woman. The music and the dancers speed up and they are both synchronised together. After a few seconds of the male dancer dominating the female dancer he then leaves and she is left to dance alone. This suggests that she is now the dominant one. The next scene we see is the main character waking in her bed with a smile on her face. This suggests that what we just saw was a dream. She then rises from her bed and stretches her bones, during this there is synchronised diegetic sounds of her bone clicking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyuTmdCyIrQ
