Bethlehem Gebretinsae and their group will create a radio trailer, poster, and 5-minute thriller film that subverts genres and roles by mixing Halloween and Christmas elements. They will consider representation and subverting stereotypes of characters. Some scenes will be influenced by other media while still creating an original short film. Theories will also be applied and compared to the project.
2. WHAT I WILL BE DOING?
• My group & I will be creating a radio trailer, a poster and a short 5 minute film based on
anything we desire.
• We have to include the main four components:
1. Mise en Scene- use of settings, costumes
2. Camera- use of techniques, shots and angles
3. Editing- transitions, effects, filters
4. Sound- diegetic, non-diegetic and sound effects
• We are aiming to make our project very unique and creative, we also want to subvert
roles and genres with our thriller. We want to create a seasonal thriller which is a mix of
Halloween and Christmas.
• We will also be going against the codes and conventions and studying them.
3. • We will be considering the representation of characters, making sure to subvert roles and
fit them into the typical stereotype.
• Some scenes were influenced by other movies and TV shows. Despite creating a short
film, the scenes from TV shows and movies are similar to them ones that we want to do
as well.
• For example, If we had a kid acting for us then he would be doing something that young
people would do, such as coloring books, etc.
• In addition, I will be applying theorists and their theories to my project and compare their
similarities and differences.
