My media product, called Best Friends, was a short psychological horror film that used conventions from Roman Polanski's 1968 film Rosemary's Baby to explore themes of life/death and fantasy/reality. The opening scene replicated Rosemary's Baby's establishing shot of the apartment building to anchor the key location of an abandoned park. While adhering to horror conventions like mis-en-scene, the film also sought to subvert expectations by dressing both the protagonist and antagonist in black to create ambiguity about who was the villain. Non-diegetic sound, like a narrating voiceover throughout, challenged conventions by conveying additional information about characters' thoughts.IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT USE, DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE FORMS AND CONV...

My media product, called Best Friends, was a short psychological horror film that used and developed conventions from Roman Polanski's 1968 film Rosemary's Baby. It opened with an establishing shot of an abandoned park, like Rosemary's Baby's shot of the apartment building. It also explored binary themes of life/death and fantasy/reality. While using conventions like mise-en-scene, it also subverted them - the protagonist and antagonist wore black, usually coded as evil, to create ambiguity. Non-diegetic sound like voiceover narration challenged conventions by providing additional information about characters' thoughts.I am legend case study

The document summarizes key aspects of the thriller opening created by the filmmakers:
- It pays homage to noir and Scandinavian thriller genres through use of shadows, muted color tones, and isolated landscapes.
- The characters of Lizzie the murderer and Fred the victim were influenced by stereotypes from other thrillers to seem believable yet subvert expectations.
- Marston Marshes location provided a stark contrast to the violence with its isolation building vulnerability.
- Transitions like dip to black built tension by creating confusion over what the witness sees.
- Props like the knife, camera, and tarpaulin helped make the murder seem planned and the witness's photography hobbyI am Legend Poster Analysis

The document analyzes a movie poster for the film "I Am Legend" starring Will Smith. It notes that Will Smith's name is prominently displayed to attract his large fan base. The tagline hints at the plot without giving too much away. Visual elements in the background depict a post-apocalyptic New York that has been destroyed by a biological crisis, with overturned cars and weed-filled roads suggesting themes of destruction. Through clues like the setting and plot hints, the poster conveys that the film will be a sci-fi/horror story about Will Smith's character fighting to survive as the last human in a deserted New York.props

The document discusses how props are used symbolically in horror films to build tension and convey meaning. It provides examples from Scream, Friday the 13th, and Saw. In Scream, rising popcorn represents mounting tension and symbolizes the danger Casey is in by staying on the phone. In Friday the 13th, Jason's mask allows him to see his victims while hiding his own identity and traumatic past. In Saw, the Jigsaw doll represents the changed nature of the film's antagonist after being diagnosed with cancer.Scary Movie

This document provides a summary of scenes from the trailer for "Scary Movie 4". It parodies and mocks popular films like "War of the Worlds", "The Grudge", and the president's commitment to citizens. Scenes spoof elements from the original films but in a comedic and exaggerated way, like showing a "triPod" that lasers people or a mysterious hand shampooing a woman in the shower. Text that introduces parodied scenes and a final screen with the movie title, date, and smoking "4" aim to clearly signal the mockery and parody elements to audiences.Evaluation Part 2

This document evaluates the effectiveness of combining a horror trailer with ancillary texts like a poster and magazine cover.
The poster uses imagery of a bloody hand emerging from a grave to suggest the trailer's setting of a graveyard and hint at zombies. Dark colors like black and red are used to connote evil, danger, and blood. Clouds moving in imply impending doom.
The magazine cover uses red to catch attention and connote blood and danger, with a black background denoting death. It features zombie images and lists contents like other magazines.
The materials work well together through shared elements like the gloomy mise-en-scene of the graveyard, use of dark colors, and allusion to zombies.Location analysis

The document discusses horror movie conventions related to location. It states that isolated areas are commonly used in horror to allow antagonists to torment victims without witnesses. Specific to subgenres, supernatural horrors often feature abandoned houses advertised cheaply, while slashers typically take place in small towns where everyone knows each other or isolated woodlands where partying teenagers can be targeted. The films A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th are discussed as examples that effectively use the slasher convention locations of a suburban town and isolated lake area to generate fear in audiences.Eval 2

This document analyzes the filmmakers' use of conventions from thriller movies in their short film. It discusses how they incorporated simple opening titles, point-of-view shots, vanishing points, chiaroscuro lighting, isolated exterior locations, confined interior spaces, flashbacks/dream sequences, and binary oppositions between characters and locations. Examples are given of how similar techniques were used effectively in movies like Once Upon a Time in America, The Killing, and No Country For Old Men. The analysis aims to show how borrowing conventions from acclaimed thrillers helped make their short film feel more authentic to the genre.Scream film narrative (1)

Our opening horror film sequence challenges some conventions but maintains others to fit the genre. While filmed during the day in a graveyard, it uses ominous music and shows the killer advancing on the protagonist. Later it switches to black and white, an uncommon but classic technique. The sequence draws from films like Night of the Living Dead in location and music. Camera angles show the killer's perspective to build tension. Though some elements like the daytime setting are unconventional, the killer dresses normally to seem harmless, increasing the scare despite not following typical horror conventions. We include a female protagonist for vulnerability, a common slasher film convention used effectively in Scream.Representation Theory

The document discusses representation theory and how the media represents various social groups and identities. It provides examples of how masculinity, femininity, social class, sexuality, race, ethnicity, national identity, and age are often represented in exaggerated or stereotypical ways. For instance, the trailer for the film "Smiley" represents the female protagonist as needing help from male characters, perpetuating the common media portrayal of women always requiring male assistance. The trailer also represents teenagers in both common stereotypical scenarios like being in trouble with the police, but also subverts expectations by showing the female teen seeking help from the police.Evaluation Question

To achieve a makeup effect, a light matte face powder is applied with a brush. Creamed eyeshadows in various shades are applied under the eyes. Fake blood can be made by mixing red food coloring, golden syrup, and flour for a less runny consistency resembling real blood. Darker food coloring can be added for depth.
