Media work, before I wake

1. Before I wake

2. Screenshot 1
This screenshot shows the colour theme of the film, it shows what the colour
scheme may be for the poster and any titles in the teaser trailer.
I think that the colours help show the genre as the bold red makes the audience
think of blood and shows danger.
The font and colour for the brands also helps to add to the atmosphere
and feeling of the film, the black compares to the red and helps bring a
dark mood and shows that there is something dark and dangerous in the
film and again helps show what may be happening in the film.

3. Screenshot 2
This screen shot helps look at two of the characters and helps show the audience the
relationship between them. You can see that this may be one of the first times they are
meeting as they are shaking hands. You can see that the feel is a welcoming although it
is very formal.
You can see that the little boy in this is polite as he went to give the hand shake, he has
been brought up well and as far as you see, also from the clothes he is wearing you
see/ think he is just a normal kid.
The setting also shows that the kid is going to a well off area and the people adopting
him are well off.

4. Screenshot 3
This shows the women and man that we see adopting the young boy although we
never see the boy in the photography making the audience think about whether the
young boy in the image may be dead, this gives the audience more incite on the two
characters adopting the boy.
This may gives the audience incite into why they are adopting the young boy, maybe
the cant have kids now or the boy in the photo died and they are scared to try again.
The photo also helps show the family is well off as not many families go and have there
photos taken professionally as it is expensive.

5. Screenshot 4
This photo starts to show the mystery in the film as the characters dead child appears
to them. It has a sinister but sweet emotion to it as the parents are seeing there child
again but the audience also then remember that the child is dead.
This also lets the audience start to piece together what the film may be about, as
earlier In the trailer you see the adopted young boy falling asleep and then the son of
the parents coming back making the audience think that his dreams may become
real, the audience start to piece together everything.

6. Screenshot 5
This screenshot again looks at the colour scheme of before I wake, it comes back to the
bold/dark red that makes the audience think of blood and danger and also again looks at the
bold harsh lettering and black colour used for the title. This screenshot also shows the date
the movie comes out, although it doesn't focus on s specific time of the year like Halloween
or Christmas etc. it is close to when Halloween is.

7. Screenshot 6
This screenshot shows that the young boy is scared of something, after he draws this
he then scribbles over the
drawing and says that it keeps it away If he does that.
This shows the boy to be scared of Something and also makes the audience think that
maybe there is something more than his dreams. There is something real scaring the
boy.

8. Screenshot 7
This screen shot seems innocent as the young boy is asleep, everything seems fine
although the audience know/think that his dreams may come true showing that
something may happen/ things may happen.
There isn't much happening in this shot although the music at this part of the teaser
trailer is intense and builds up the atmosphere that something bad is happening.
The shot time for this is also very fast pace and quickly cuts to the next shot adding
to the intense feel of the teaser trailer.

9. Screenshot 8
This screenshot again focuses on the colour scheme of the teaser trailer but also focuses
on the fact that the boys dreams have something to do with what is happening, also again
the colours being used show that what is happening is sinister and not beautiful. Also the
music added to the teaser trailer shows that there is something dark and tense
happening.

10. Screenshot 9
This screenshot shows the young boy with something behind him, you don’t know what it
behind him but it looks like a dead boy but not the parents son, This may confuse the
audience as they were thinking that things only happen when the boy is asleep but he is
awake here.
This confuses the audience and make them start to think of new stories or what may be
happening, this makes the audience want to watch the film as they don’t know what is
happening and want to find out.

11. This Trailer focuses on an open audience it doesn't focus on
specific adults/ younger adults teens etc. but I think it focuses on
adults to young adults/ teens.
The film is psychological thriller and many of the shots in the
teaser show this by focusing on the fact that a lot of what is
happening is because of the young boys dreams.
This film is interesting as many people would see the young boy
as innocent and sweet but it seems from the trailer that what is
happening is because of him.
This film looks at what my group are looking to create as we
want to look into dreams become a reality and someone not
knowing what is real and what is not. Also the genre of our film
and before I wake is the same.

12. The colours of the poster
fit with the colours in the
trailer the dark red and
black although the
background of this poster
is white, giving a cold feel
to the image.
Here is a catchphrase from
the movie, it stands out and
makes the viewer think
about what the film may be
about. It fits towards the film
and genre of the film.
Here shows who is in the
film and who helped
create the film, it shows
the main people in the
creation of the film and
the brands and
companies who created
it.
The eyes in the butterfly
show fear and are looking
directly at the viewer making
them feel uncomfortable
and helping them feel what
the people in the movie are
feeling.
Butterfly's are normally seen as
beautiful and innocent but here they
are dark and scary this completely
contradicts how they are normally seen.
This could be seen as showing that the
young boy would normally be seen as
innocent and sweet but he isn't.
For my groups poster I
would like to take from
this how they showed
the fear in the persons
eyes and merged the
butterfly and eyes
together to create
something scary. I like
the colour scheme used.
I think that the trailer
and poster link well
together making it
more intriguing to the
audience.
