The document summarizes a student media project that is a thriller film titled "Living Nightmare". The film uses conventions of the thriller genre like using a typical family and portraying the main character Sai as an unlikely hero. It includes a dream sequence inspired by films like "Nightmare on Elm Street". The film represents its characters and social groups in stereotypical ways. A British media company would be most suitable to distribute the film given its British actors, locations and target audience.Evaluation

Through creating a Twitter account and posting regular updates, Dark Horse Productions was able to effectively promote its new film. This included uploading a trailer and the first two minutes of footage. Using social media allowed the company to reach a larger, global audience. The teaser trailer for the film was only 21 seconds long but conveyed the dark atmosphere through brief clips and left audiences wanting more information. This increased anticipation and views for the film online. The film's unique selling point is its focus on the psychological characterization of the troubled characters, including a religious subplot, rather than solely focusing on crime elements like many similar thrillers.Film pitch 2.0

The document discusses the conventions of movie openings, specifically those of the horror genre. It analyzes the opening created by the author for a horror film project. The opening both conforms to and subverts horror movie conventions. It conforms by using red credits, isolating the location, and showing the title after something dramatic. However, it subverts conventions by having the first victim be male rather than female and having a skinny killer rather than a muscular one. Camera angles and editing also both conform to and deviate from typical horror movie techniques. The author believes their opening is unique for subverting many genre stereotypes.More from BenRayment (6)

This document analyzes and compares two magazine advertisements for music albums. The Green Day advertisement features a grainy font suggesting a rebellious style, with the band name standing out in bold against a black background to attract attention. The heart-shaped grenade image implies bleak or depressing songs about lost love. In contrast, the Florence and the Machine advertisement uses a flowing, joined font implying their music has an elegant flow. Florence's peaceful sleeping posture and expression in the image also conveys a calm, gentle sound. Both advertisements place the artist's name at the top in white font against a black background, with the image taking up most of the space. Digipack analysis

Lady Gaga's 2011 music video for "Judas" uses conventions of the pop and dance genre, including close-up shots and a hyper-realistic illustration of the song's lyrics through a linear narrative. The target audience is 15-30 year old females who can relate to the situation, though the video also appeals to males through Lady Gaga's revealing costumes and the application of the male gaze theory. Lady Gaga is represented as both a strong, confident woman and a sexual object through her objectification in the video's support of the male gaze.Pitch
- 1. Pitch<br />Our film will be called ‘Evergreen woods’. The basic storyline is that there is a wood and 2 killers live there, and all who enter are either murdered or are never found again.<br />Title Sequence<br />In our title sequence we will use camera effects, which will link into our film because we will also use them in the rest of the film. The enigma we will try to get across is the question of ‘what is the motive of the killers?’ and ‘ who are the killers?’<br />How we will show the titles<br />We will show the titles through magazine cut outs and the usage of a lot of cross cuts. For this we drew inspiration from the film ‘se7en’. Our aim is to disorientate the viewer by constantly shifting though camera angles and constantly switching from soft music to loud heavy breathing.<br />Funding<br /> Our film will be a British independent film, this is because if we make it British we will be able to get funding from the UK film council. Also, the reason we will make it an independent film is because it will cost less to make and hopefully then produce a bigger profit. In our film we will use not so well known actors, firstly because people will not have a pre-conceived image of the actor, therefore the character the actor plays in our film will be original. A second reason for these unknown actors is that it wont cost as much as appose to a big named actor for example, Tom Cruise who recently got $20,000,000 plus 30% of the profits of the film.<br />Visual styles<br />In our film we will use visual styles such as cross cuts, jump cuts, graphic match, elliptical editing, cutaways and multi takes. Through these will we hope to achieve the disorientation of the viewer. In our film sound will be a major key concept, through sound we will try to give the audience a sense of emergency and panic, we will do this through; silence, ambient sound, synchronous music, sound motifs and sound bridges. Along with the editing there will be different camera shots such as; long shots, medium close ups, extreme close ups, blocking shots, birds eye view, tracking shots, pan and canted angles, this will help with the disorientation of the viewer and the ultimate goal of the sound.<br />Our pitch in 25 words<br />Will she escape the twisted killer duo of brother and sister? What are their motives? <br />Will they ever be stopped killing the innocent? Evergreen Woods.<br />
