Question 1- In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Screenshots of trailer production

we created credits and titles for our trailer on after effects and Photoshop, we experimented with fonts and the background we want to use for our trailer when the titles, credits etc would show up, we chose a red bloody background in order to reflect our genre as well as represent our horror trailer, this is one of the basic conventions that we are following.

Poster final draft

This is my final draft of my poster, i got my last feedback from my class members and have took the criticisms about my last poster and have worked on it to create my final draft, i enlarged my main image making it the main focus in the poster which shows two characters one of which Freddy the stalker and the victim Molly. I have added more production logos as looking at other film posters ive realised that there are a lot of logos in the credit block, also i changed the font to a more suitable font to suit the credit block and to follow the conventions of real media magazines. I also put the title of the film at the bottom to make it look different and stand out i wanted to subvert this convention and make my poster look different but realistic at the same time.

Magazine final draft

This is my final magazine draft, i have made all the changes i was told from the class feedback making it look better and more conventional. I added a sticker on the left hand side as other magazines do this and i wanted to conform to that convention as i thought it looked good. i also changed the sell lines and experimented with different fonts as i got told to use variety of fonts this is also a typical convention of a magazine as some magazines use different font to make the magazine stand out. I moved the plus sign just on top of my sell lines to show that the magazine will feature a lot of articles and pages on different film related stuff. I made the Main article nigger to suit the main image so people know what film and who is on my front cover this will give them an insight of what will be in the magazine. I also made sure that the colour scheme was obvious by changing a lot of the texts to black, red and yellow this portrays the horror genre.

Class feedback on ancillary tasks

Here I asked some of my class members to give me feedback for my poster and magazine in order for me to understand there views better to improve me poster and magazine.

18th Draft

This is my next draft, as you can see it looks very conventional as I step by step I developed my poster in order for it to look like a realistic film poster which conforms to the conventions such as the credit block in small etc.

17th Draft
I experimented with the background and made the colour of the background slightly red to represent blood as its going to be a horror movie.

16th Draft

 

I wanted to experimented with the background as I felt it was to plain and dull, I wanted to create something horror and which represents the location of the film which is in a basement.
