Our film used several conventions of the thriller genre including using string instruments in the score to create tension and mystery. Photos and objects were included to generate enigmas and questions for the audience typical of thrillers. While we didn't use as many editing techniques as other thrillers, like jump cuts, the opening challenged expectations by attempting to trick and confuse the audience at first to engage them in the story.

Our film used several conventions of the thriller genre including mysterious music, a lack of dialogue to build suspense, and positioning the audience on the edge of their seats. We developed camera movements from watching other thrillers, including pans and tracking shots. Photos were included to generate enigmas and mystery around characters and events. The score used string instruments to create a sad and lost atmosphere, a conventional way to reflect emotion in thrillers. The opening challenges thriller conventions by attempting to trick and confuse the audience at first to generate interest in watching more.Evaluation 2 for media studie

The document discusses conventions commonly found in thriller films, such as plots involving an enigma, the use of camera shots like close-ups and establishing shots to set the scene and convey emotion, low key lighting to create a creepy atmosphere, tense music and sound effects to build climax, quick angle changes to keep viewers unsure of what will happen, and point-of-view shots that put viewers in the position of characters. It then explains how the film opening "Timor" develops and challenges these conventions through its portrayal of gender roles and influence from the film "The Hazing Secret."Focus group

The document summarizes feedback from a focus group for a horror film opening sequence. Trevor suggested a male protagonist to show loneliness in isolation. Anthony advocated for using color cinematography to contrast darkness and light. Mariana also preferred a male protagonist to generate more shock and engage audiences by showing the protagonist and killer's perspectives. Adrianna recommended using social media like Facebook and Twitter to widely promote the film. Molly provided ideas for depicting the killer as iconic through visuals and camera angles to scare audiences and elicit a deliberate response.Evalutation Question 1

The document discusses how the media product uses and develops conventions of the thriller genre. It examines conventions used in the production's filming and editing, such as fast-paced editing to create tension, the use of a vulnerable female protagonist, low-key lighting for an eerie atmosphere, and non-diegetic sound to build suspense. Research on films like American Psycho 2 and I Spit on Your Grave informed conventions applied, such as lighting, characters, and narratives featuring victimized female leads seeking justice. The production challenges conventions by obscuring the protagonist's identity and using point-of-view shots and surveillance footage aesthetics.Question 1

Our media product uses several conventions of thriller films. The protagonist has a weakness like characters in Black Swan and has memory loss, making him vulnerable. He is aware of his weakness, unlike typical protagonists. The film also uses voyeurism by showing a party from the audience's perspective to engage viewers like in Disturbia. Several enigmas are set up at the beginning to pique audience interest, such as where the protagonist is and who called his phone.Evaluation tasks media question 3

The document discusses the history of milk and dairy consumption by humans. It notes that dairy culture began around 10,000 years ago with the domestication of animals like cattle, goats, and sheep in the Middle East. While lactase production normally declines after weaning for most humans, some populations developed the ability to digest milk as adults, known as lactase persistence. The document discusses evidence that two major lactase persistence alleles - one found in Europeans (T-13910) and another compound allele found in Middle Eastern populations - arose independently in response to different histories of animal domestication and milk consumption. It provides support for the convergent evolution of lactase persistence in diverse populations.Cours fleLaurent Cheret

While the project met some conventions through lighting, editing, and characters, the student noted areas for improvement like adding a darker music score, more varied camera shots, and tweaks to increase tension and pace. Overall, the student felt the opening could be classified as a thriller due to its use of enigma, suspense, and isolation, but may need further editing to more clearly fit the genre.Evaluation activity one media sophie Q1

The document discusses conventions used in the opening of a student thriller film. It establishes tension by showing domestic violence occurring off-screen. Mystery is created by showing the abuser's court sentencing over footage without fully depicting the violence. Camera shots like high and low angles are used to generate tension and show character emotions. Slow editing with fade to black creates suspense. Thriller music, dark lighting, and diegetic sounds immerse the viewer and advance the plot through props like a TV reflecting domestic issues.1.

Our film followed many of the conventions of thriller films in terms of titling, camera movements, framing of shots, camera angles, selection of mise-en-scene elements, editing techniques, sound techniques, and actors' positioning and movement. However, we developed the idea of using a high angle pan shot to introduce the opening location. We also challenged conventions by having a female character dressed in a suit in a position of power, wearing a wig to represent both power and femininity.Evaluation question 5: Renewed

The document discusses the development of a thriller opening sequence created by the author and their group. They began with several ideas taken from other thrillers, including one about hallucinations from The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Their final idea involved a group of teenagers on a train that has a power outage. The opening sequence uses conventions from thrillers like The Blair Witch Project and Creep. It targets an audience of 16-25 year olds and would be distributed first to smaller media companies to gather feedback before approaching larger companies.Evaluation 1

The document discusses how the media product uses conventions of the thriller genre. It builds tension through camera angles like close-ups showing a distressed character, and a shaky railing shot adding mystery. Editing merges scenes and transitions smoothly. The dark, derelict setting with locked doors and trapped characters builds unease. While following conventions, it also challenges them by cutting between two character storylines to steadily increase tension until their paths cross. Contrasting black-and-white and color cinematography reflects a split personality. Lack of dialogue engages the audience's imagination.Ad

Our social realism trailer will focus on a group of teenagers between 15-30 years old who attend a party that ends in tragedy. It will show the stereotypical portrayal of this age group through their costumes, location in real neighborhoods, and use of non-professional local actors. The story follows the characters until one is hit and killed by a drunk driver, sentencing their friend to prison and leaving their girlfriends to live without them. It aims to represent serious contemporary issues like alcohol, drugs, and accidents in an authentic way through semi-improvised dialogue and gritty visual style.Who would be the audience for your media product?

- 1. Evaluation Question 1 In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
- 2. The thriller genre is based around, tension, excitement and suspension.
- 3. My film has used this in various ways; Music- using strings, violins and other soft scary instruments. Having no dialogue- withholding information. Having the audience on the edge of their seats, is the main aim of this film.
- 4. Colour and font style. Our film followed a number of different conventions shown by some of the films weve analyzed. One of these conventions used in our film was to do with out credits and the fact that they are over black screens, and some are done so they fit the whole screen, like ours did and like The Dark Knight Rises compared to the credits.
- 5. Camera movement We developed our movement ideas from watching other thriller films that we had all watched. Most commonly there was pans and tracking movements. So we used these ideas to plan our scenes and how they would work together, we panned across the items to give a jist of what's happening.
- 6. Mise en scene The props we used in our thriller films are very dependant on the story. We only used the items at the start with no characters so now costumes. Editing We didnt use a lot of transitions. In a thriller film they usually use a lot of jump cuts, but we didnt follow this convention of a thriller we used cross-dissolves as it is not just a thriller.
- 7. Sound We didnt use very much dialogue in out film as we agreed that it was more effective if we used a soundtrack, as that means that the audience would be more focused on the images rather than listening to a voice, that why we have just used it at the end,
- 8. Still 1: Hidden identity Element of mystery; whos Hannah? Use of sound to create atmosphere: Conventionally in thrillers, the score reflects a character or an emotion. In the score we made we used loads of stringed instruments, to give a sad, lost effect.
- 9. Still 2 and 3: The creation of enigmas: Photos add the conventional mystery to the thriller, immediately creating enigmas: Whos the girl? Whos the boy? How important are they to the film narrative?
- 10. Still 3: Creation of mystery: Developing thriller convention of elements of mystery. Whos is the car? Why is it there? Whats happened?
- 11. Still 5: Sense of mystery: The audience should hopefully be asking questions like: Whos written the diary? Why have they written the diary? Whats been 10 years?
- 12. There are many conventions shown in thrillers through different techniques and these were just a few that we used and showed in our film; The Last Rose.
- 13. The opening of my movie challenges real media products because it uses new ideas for how the genre of a thriller movie should start by attempting to trick and deceive the audience at first then slightly confuse them to make them wonder whats happening and want to watch on.
