In what ways does your media
products use, develop or challenge
forms or conventions of real media
products
Conform
Trailer
From all the trailers that I have seen, they have all
got about 7 titles within them. To conform I have
have titles within mine, but I do have more than
the average amount, for I have got 9. The reason
why I have put titles within my trailer, is so that
the audience can get a better feeling about what
the film is about.
Most horrors conform to Todorov theory of
everything starting off calm, and then building the
trailer up to become suspenseful. I too have used
this theory to grip the audience. By starting off the
trailer slow and calm, the audience will relax, and as
the trailer builds up, they will then engage more
with the trailer and then will want to see it.
Develop
Trailer
At the end of new trailers now,
they have got a set of titles
that have got all of the social
media links on it. I have got
the same set of titles at the
end of my trailer, for I want
my film to be advertised in
social media, for that is what
the majority of my audience is
on.
Challenge
Trailer
I have challenged the idea of
staging events, for instead of
staging a funeral, I have filmed a
real one. The benefit of filming a
real event, means that all the
people you are filming will have
will be using real emotions. Also it
means that there are less costs,
and everything is accurate.
I havent used any fake blood in my trailer. This is
quite challenging, for most horror trailers has
got some element of blood within them. I
havent for I want my film to be full of
possession.
Conform
Poster
At the bottom of my poster I have got all the
different people who were working in my
film I have got this on the bottom of my
poster, for most posters have got this. Its
rare if films posters do not have these
credits
On my poster I have got a tagline on
it. most posters have got taglines,
for the audience may remember
that better than the actual film title.
It is rare when a film poster does not
have a tagline on it.
Develop
Poster
Most posters have got either the
main character or a couple of main
chracters in the middle, so to draw
the eye to them. What I have done to
challange this is to put my main
chatacter to the side and have the
camera as the most drawn to thing in
the poster.
Most horror posters has got a
person on the front looking very
scared. I have not got this on mine,
for I am developing the idea that a
horror poster can look more creepy
when there isn't someone on the
front looking scared.
Challenge
poster
Most film posters have got some
indication on them to when a
film may come out. I have not got
this indication on mine, for i
wanted the release to come as a
surprise to the audience. I didnt
even want 'comming soon' on the
poster. By having some
indication of when a new film will
come out, the audience will then
try to find out as much as they
can about it before it comes out. I
want my film to be quite
secretive, till the trailer comes
out.
Conform
Magazine
I have got my models head in front of the of the
EMPIRE. Most of the EMPIRE magazines have got
the models head covering parts of it. Rarely do
they not. I have done this to make my model look
more important.
I have put some of my key words
on the magazine in a rectangle.
This confroms to the covers of
TOTAL FILM, for they often use
these blocks to highlight the key
words.
Develop
Magazine
I have used a PUG in the
corner of my magazine to
show what is in my
magazine. Not many EMPIRE
magazines have one, but
some TOTAL FILM
magazines do.
I am developing the use of a circle on
my magazine. Most of the newer
issues of EMPIRE have got these
circles on them to show some of the
new and important material in the
magazine.
Challenge
Mgazine
My writing s to the rght hand side. Most of the
EMPIRE magazines either have writing on both
sides, or only on the left. I have challenged this
by putting it to the right, so that the left side is
moe highlighted. Also I wanted it to fit more
with the Z theory, for i wanted all of text to be
read in between all of the other words
The circle that I have on my magazine,
which shows the most important
information in the magazine, has been
challenged. For magazines, like EMPIRE,
have only got words in their circles, but the
way that I am challenging it is that I have
also used a pictre in my circle. the picture
that I have used is of the film being
described in the circle.
