evaluation task 1 - In What Ways Does Your Media Product Use, Develop or Challenge Forms of Conventions from Real Media Products?

9 frame analysis

This is the Magazine cover I produced, I used image manipulation to layer the photo of myself over the background and make it stand out and grab the readers attention as it is the main focus point of the cover, this is standard practice as I found in my research. I used multiple fonts and text styles to make it look more like a real magazine cover. I used the same font as in the trailer for the Title of the film this is for synergy across the trailer, magazine cover and Poster.

 This is the Poster I have chosen, I have based it off of the Shutter Island poster I done my research on. I have taken the inspiration for the main characters head to be above the location of which the film takes place. I have used image manipulation by combining three images to create this poster. by using the lockers as the background it gives the setting of in a school and the gun and blood covered face give the idea of killings occurring within the film.

















This is the Splash Screen I produced for the trailer, this is a necessity as without it young children may view the trailer although it is unsuitable for their viewership.

 This is the production company i have created by merging both groups logos together to create this, as this is presented in the shot it has a zoom and a loud white noise that increases coming to a sudden halt. this is a typical convention of a psychological thriller trailer.

 this is the first close up shot of the gun at this point in the trailer the presence of the gun implants the idea of a shooting in the viewers mind. the slow pace of this shot gives it an underlying feel of fear and worry for the audience. I choose this shot as it gives hints yet doesn't give away the whole

 including when the film will be released is a key convention in producing a trailer, to add this in I added a word each time the drum bangs. this is typical in film trailers as I found in my research.

Whilst analysing the Elephant trailer I found that they included many reviews as an attempt to draw in a bigger audience, this was also used in multiple other trailers as a result I have included this in mine.

I used this low angle shot to show the power of the antagonist, this is typical of psychological thrillers as often the fear is inflicted by the antagonists power over our protagonist.

Every trailer Shows their film name so I did the same, this uses the conventions associated with the Psychological Thriller genre.









This is a low angle shot to show the antagonist's power. This is a good way to end the trailer as it shows the protagonist in peril and leave us wondering if he dies or lives.
