1. Evaluation
In what ways do your media
products use, develop and
challenge forms and conventions of
real media products?
2. USE
The film
name is the
biggest bit of
text
Both have big images
filling the poster
Both include credits
3. • There are a few similarities to the existing poster
and the one I created, for example we have both
made the film name the biggest font as it stands
out and gives the audience information for
example they know what it is if they want to
watch it. Also we both use a big image to fill the
background of the poster and we have both
included credits this will let the audience know
who will feature in the film.
• I've used the codes and conventions of a film
poster e.g. film name, cast credits, release date,
image etc.
4. DEVELOP
Film title at the top
Release
date is big
and under
film name
Credits are bigger and clearer
Colour scheme is different
5. • I have made my colour scheme different to on
the existing product as I think this suits my genre
better. I have used quite dull/dark colours for
most of it, this gives the impression that its quite
a ‘dark’ film and that it would only be suitable for
the older generation. However I have made my
title a yellow this is to make it stand out more
against the darker colours.
• I have made my release date big to make it clear
to my audience when its out as that is important
information. I also put it right under the title at
the top so its more noticeable.
• My credits are also bigger as I feel this is easier
for people to read if they wish to know who stars
in it.
7. • I have added my production company logo to it
to show the audience who has helped with the
release of the film.
• I have also added and age rating to it as I feel
that it was important to include it to make it clear
to everyone that it is a film with bad content in it
and so is not suitable for people under 15. This
might also attract more of an older audience as
they will see it isn’t a childish film.
• I also decided to add a critics rating as I have
seen it done on products before and thought it
would look good. Also people will be encouraged
to watch it by seeing it got a high rating.
