Would you watch this film and why/why not?
- The opening sequence piqued my interest with the mystery and suspense around Lucy and what information she possesses. I want to find out more about the killers and why they targeted her. However, the storyboard was brief so it's hard to say if the full film would keep me engaged.
What could be improved?

The opening scene of The Woman in Black establishes it as a psychological thriller through conventions like the children being mentally tormented into destroying their toys and committing suicide. The mise-en-scene of period costumes and toys indicates it is also a period thriller. There is no dialogue, but non-diegetic sounds accentuate the tension as the scene unfolds. Camera angles like extreme close-ups are used to highlight the innocence of the children before they look towards something ominous in the corner. The lighting is dark and ominous, setting the scene for thrills to come. The opening leaves the audience with many questions about the mysterious events.Ots research jamie and fazal

The document analyzes a movie poster to convey that it is for a scary horror film. It notes that the serif title font, pointed letter ends, and black background with white text establish it as a horror movie poster. The scared facial expression of the man and shattered glass credits imply feelings of fear and violence. Additionally, images like a tied-up person, medieval torture devices, and a traumatized woman help set a tone of suspense, questions about the plot or characters, and discomfort for the audience. A beam of light in the darkness could symbolize a message of hope despite the typical gloomy nature of horror films.More from Chloe-louisehart (20)

Newline Cinema and other major studios would not be suitable distributors for the psychological thriller film because they primarily distribute different genres like comedies and action films. Independent distributors like Newmarket Films or Kaleidoscope Film Distribution that specialize in drama and thriller genres would be better options as they have experience distributing similar films. Major studios like Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures that have distributed well-known psychological thrillers could also potentially distribute the film.Evaluation question 2

- 1. The Ring The ring is a Syuzhet film, the film is opened by two teens sat on a bed, the opening automatically tells me that this is going to be a horror. I know this because there is a house with flickering lights opening the scene, It looks as if the house is in the middle of a wood or on the outskirts of a town, looks very spooky and haunted.The teens are wearing black and white, these colours indicate to me that they are danger, or going to be in danger, Black indicated death and sorrow and White indicates purity, indicates they are school girls, wearing uniform.An enigma code which is brought to mind is why are the teens sat in the room? Why is it dull? One of the girls are talking about a tape that if you watch it, it kills you, this is creepy as you have a feeling what is going to happen, and iconography is that they’re going to watch this tape, will they die?, what’s going to happen to them next?Close ups on their faces, Eye line match of their faces to the clock and telephone.What’s the blue light that is shining through the window?, why is it there? Why is the door opening on its own? Now Is good Misty mirror, as tessa wipes it clean, non diegetic sounding of slow calming and relaxing music as the film starts. Fabula narrative, Why are they talking about the blonde one? What are they planning to do?, why is tessa wearing a wig? Why has she wrote ‘sex’ on the mirror? Tessas friend and the boy kissing, icons that they are going to have sex. This makes me feel uncomfortable because they are underage. She is wearing a red dress this indicates, love and death. Non diegetic music while she is walking down the street, things are coming over the top of the film, this signifies teen, comic, the street turns into a cartoon and looks as if the film is going to be in cartoon, this icons that the film is going to be about her as she is the one running down the middle of the street. What is she writing?, why is she writing on her wall? Why are they sat at a radio station? Is she poorly? Tessa has hardly any hair on her head this signifies to me she may have an illness such as cancer or alopecia.
