This opening sequence introduces the main characters through a long shot that shows them all together. Engaging music plays throughout to keep the audience interested and set an energetic tone. Scenes cut between the characters running, smoking, and playing football, establishing a non-linear narrative that builds intrigue. A voiceover mentions heroin, introducing this as a theme. Minimal dialogue is used to focus the audience on the visuals and subliminal message of the voiceover.

The document provides an in-depth analysis of the trailer for the 2009 horror film "Paranormal Activity". It examines various elements of the trailer including its genre, targeted audience, camera work, mise-en-scene, editing, sound, use of text, and how it follows Todorov's narrative structure of introducing equilibrium that is disrupted by a supernatural force, which the main characters then try to diffuse or repair. The analysis finds that techniques like handheld camera work, minimal music, fast editing, and showing real audience reactions make the trailer more intense and relatable.Student Example Analysis

1. Behind the Net Curtains uses a red herring, conceals the killer's identity, and close-ups of gruesome details to mislead the audience.
2. Deadline uses a timer, limited dialogue, and focuses on one character to create mystery and tension.
3. The Witness uses disorienting shots, low lighting, and conceals the criminals' faces to seem dark and suspicious.
4. Outspoken reverses the beginning, uses drug indicators and an unexplained location to add confusion.
5. The Therapist uses slow motion, flashbacks, and conceals the killer's faceStudent example analysis

The trailer uses techniques common to horror films like darkness, isolated settings, and an unknown killer to set up tension and mystery. Shaky camera work and quick cuts establish anxiety and increase the pace. Various shots introduce the main character, other victims, and a disturbing image to confuse and unnerve the audience. While many details are hidden, flashes of violence whet the audience's appetite for what threats and scares may be in store.Actors

The document discusses the characters that will be used in an opening film sequence for a psychological thriller. A teenage actress will portray the faceless female protagonist who stalks and follows another teenage actress portraying the victim. Using teenagers as the actors makes the audience, which is also teenage, better able to relate to the characters and situation. This helps set up conventions of the psychological thriller genre like stalking and vulnerability.My film pitch (1)

Science Not Shared is Science Lost: Bridging the Gap Between Research and Impact 鏝
In the heart of Africa, where innovation meets resilience, lies an untapped reservoir of scientific brilliance. Yet, too often, groundbreaking research remains confined within the walls of journals, inaccessible to the communities it seeks to serve. This February, I am thrilled to join the "Science Communication Beyond Journal Publications" workshop at the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) as one of the lead trainers. Together, we will unravel the power of storytelling, creative media, and strategic communication to amplify science's voice beyond academia.
Science is not just about discoveryit's about connection. Imagine a researcher in Kampala whose work could transform public health policy but struggles to translate their findings into actionable insights for policymakers. Or a young scientist in Nairobi whose groundbreaking study on climate resilience could inspire farmers but remains buried in technical jargon. These stories matter. They hold the potential to change lives and rewrite Africas narrative on poverty and development.
At this workshop, we will explore how scientists can collaborate with communicators to craft compelling stories that resonate with policymakers, communities, and global audiences alike. From podcasts that bring lab discoveries to life ｧ to press releases that spark media attention and digital tools that democratize knowledge we will empower participants to make their research accessible and impactful.
This mission aligns deeply with my belief that Africa MUST change the way it tackles poverty. Science communication is not just about sharing knowledge; it's about driving action. When researchers effectively communicate their work, they empower communities with solutions rooted in evidence. They influence policies that prioritize sustainable development. They inspire innovation that addresses grassroots challenges.
Let us humanize scienceinfuse it with stories of hope, struggle, and triumphand ensure it reaches those who need it most. Because when science connects with people, it transforms lives.
To my fellow scientists and communicators: this is our call to action. Lets bridge the gap between discovery and impact. Lets co-create stories that not only inform but inspire action across Africa and beyond.Heraldry Gold's Whiteburn Gold Project (PDAC, March 2025)

Can the green energy dream power Australia's future industries?
Can the green energy dream power Australia's future industries?University of Canberra
油
Australia's energy policy for heavy industries such as steel production are based on storing renewable energy as green hydrogen. However, steel production is energy intensive and green hydrogen is proving to be difficult to commercialise, let alone produce, store, and transport. The renewable energy link to Indonesia and Singapore, based on the plan for the Australian Renewable Energy Hub in the Pilbara, has been replaced by the idea that green hydrogen can be converted to green ammonia for transportation, and converted back to hydrogen on the other side. Again, the process is energy intensive. Add to the energy demands that will be created by data centres and artificial intelligence, the scaling up of energy production is unlikely to be met without nuclear. The green energy dream is unlikely to materialise and is proving unworkable.AI Safety in Parliaments: Latest Standards and Compliance Challenges

It's a presentation that would catch your attention. Thriller opening as media
- 2. The opening titles of this thriller opening are very long and there is a lot of them which is already a negative as it means that the audience's attention is diverted as they may become bored of seeing this as it is very time consuming and unnecessary.
- 3. The fact that the thriller is produced by Lionsgate may catch the audience's attention and give the audience and idea of what is in store and what type of thriller this may be as they have produced thrillers such as; Saw, Texas Chainsaw, Blair Witch, The possession, The Eye and so on. Generally these films are about sinister things which may give a hint to the audience for what is in store.
- 4. The first scene shows a females body lying on the ground helplessly. I didnt really like this scene as I feel as if it is very unrealistic and it seems like a picture that is zooming in. Personally, I don't really like this effect and I would not continue watching this as it seems as if the production quality is poor as soon as the opening begins.
- 5. The group uses diegetic sound of heavy breathing as the girl has had a nightmare of her being killed and woke up from the dream in a panicked state which causes her to breath heavily as she is scared. This brings the audience to suspense as they do not know what is happening next but it also informs the audience that this girl is a main character in this thriller opening.
- 6. The main character is shown looking at a key after trying to lock/unlock the door. The fact that she places it in her hand and looks at it indicates to the audience that the key plays a vital role in the making of the thriller and it will later make sense to the audience why this is being emphasised to them.
- 7. Then a flashback is shown with the main character being slashed in the neck by the key that she was holding. The editing in this thriller opening is good as they used a flashback to show why the key had significance and why the girl was looking at the key in such detail. I personally think that the use of the prop the key was a smart idea and is very original as the audience didnt know what to expect when she was looking at the key. But the fact that the key was used to slash the main characters neck does emphasise the title of the thriller opening which is 'Inner Evil' as slashing someone in the neck would be considered an evil act.
- 8. This is good use of a point of view shot as it shows the location that the filming is taking place, shows that the girl is walking somewhere and also shows her costume which is casual clothing, so the audience will assume that she isn't on her way to anything important and may just be taking a walk to clear her as from her facial expressions it is clear that she is disturbed and depressed from the nightmare that she had. In addition to this the point of view shot is shaky and this shows the audience that she is being followed.
- 9. The group use a flashback once again and in this flashback, the main character is then snatched, and is struggling to fight against whoever snatched her which from what I can see is another female. The effect is shown in double as like a shadow which could represent the good side and 'evil' side to the person who has taken the character. But the main character seems to come back from the flashback and turns the corner and sees nothing, she carries on walking still looking a little bit disturbed.
- 10. This long shot, shows the scene and the fact that the girl is in fact, being followed. She is being followed for quite some time and the character that is following her smiles at the end which presents her evil side. Overall, this is a good thriller opening as they have used a good range of shots such as point of view shots and diegetic sound. But there is not really a climax in the opening which could mean that the audience do not watch the rest of the film as the opening is important for hooking the audience's attention. In addition, the opening scenes were way too long and time consuming which would need to be changed if they want to keep the audiences attention.
