1. In what ways does you short film (trailer) use,
develop or challenge forms and conventions of
real media products?
2.
3. On every trailer I have studied and seen, the production
company’s logo is always shown before the start of any clips. I
have chosen BBC films as it is a well known production company,
that has previously released social realism films, such as Bullet
boy. Using this convention shows that I have used conventions of
real media products (trailers). Films
4. Stating that our film “unavoidable” was released by the same
makers of another prominent film “Destroy Dat” invites and
attracts Destroy dat’s fans to watch our film. This anotherr
convention that most trailers like to use.

18. We have used Plan B’s song,
“Playing with fire” for our
trailer’s soundtrack. I felt
that this song corresponds
with present day social
realism film trailer
conventions as most of them
use fast paced music, and
song was fast paced too.
I challenged forms of existing
media products by opting for
the instrumental version.

21. This is another convention that I have used to match other
existing trailers as most of them show the date of the film
release.

24. By using this convention, I have yet again
used conventions of real media products.
25. Costumes that we used that particularly conforms to
existing social realism film conventions include
hoodies, leggings and the messy uniforms.
Our setting in London was a key aspect in our trailer as
this too also conformed to present day social realism
conventions. Films like bullet boy and kidulthood was
also set in London.
Like sweet sixteen we also included a rural area in our
trailer, which was near the ending.
