Q1. In what ways does your media product use,

develop or challenge forms and conventions of

real media products?

Main Task- Movie Trailer

Forms and Conventi ons In my research and planning my focus was mainly on the forms and conventions of existing horror trailers the films I looked at were “Sinister” and “Silent House” both these films had some parts of which I wanted to include into my Trailer, these forms and conventions were?

• The green screen at the beginning•The credits•The company logo•Big bold film title•Release date of film •Duration of 2-3 minutes

After looking back on my movie trailer I have added the forms and conventions that I had aimed to include.

My Evidence I used a green screen in the introduction of my trailer, As you are not aloud to copy an existing green screen I created my own which is imported to the beginning of my trailer, A green screen is there so the audience is aware that the film has been authorised and gives it a more professional look.

I have used my logo different however used the conventions of the colours to relate to the genre, I chose the name “Graphic tales” to make it as relatable as possible. I used this in My poster and Magazine front cover.

I used a bit eye catching Film title to capture the attention of my audience and draw them in to watch the trailer has been consistent thought out my media pieces.

My Evidence I developed this shadow but by making it more clear as the dark shadow on a dark background is hard to see. This was in the editing stage showing the development of the next scene.

The location of a horror movie trailer is somewhere scary, in my case I chose a dark path way that is very rarely used creating the suspense of development.

Forms and Conventi ons

The images of the characters don't give too much away, there faces are covered so audience don’t know what to expect. I developed it by using darker colours.

Ancillary Task- Magazine

Forms and Conventi on

Forms and Conventi on

I have developed of one of the conventions by adding the logo in the corner, where as the “Gorezone” magazine hasn't included one.

Overall I have shown all the forms and conventions of my media products that I have created, I have then shown my work in line With actual professional products showing the similarities.

In the 3 tasks undertaken I have used, developed and even challenge of my Movie trailer, poster and magazine cover.

The challenge I came across was keeping in consistent and not changing the color scheme or using a total different Font type.
