The document discusses the design process for a film postcard. It describes how two existing postcards provided inspiration, with one using a rainbow to clearly portray its LGBTQ+ topic and the other taking a more subtle aesthetic approach. The first draft placed a dog on a rainbow to represent the comedic aspect, but it risked giving away the film's twist. The final draft took a more subtle approach, featuring a closet and pink dress to metaphorically represent "coming out" while drawing attention through use of bright color.

The document summarizes a film group's plans for their short film project, including creating a website and social media presence to promote the film. They will film in and around Reigate on a very low budget using an SLR camera. The film will be a teen romance/drama set in the summer focusing on a love triangle, and will incorporate influences from films like Juno and Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. The target audience is ages 16-28.
Carrie
The film poster for Carrie uses identical font, colors, imagery and phrases from the movie trailer to clearly connect the two and allow viewers to easily recognize the film even without the title. Specifically, the poster depicts Carrie with blood on her face, as in the trailer, uses the same red, black and white color scheme and serif font as the trailer, and includes the phrase "you will know her name" to directly link it to the trailer's message.
Media Coursework Evaluation Q1
Daniel Jones evaluates how his media product, a parody trailer called "REEM", uses, develops, and changes existing conventions from the docu-soap "The Only Way Is Essex" (TOWIE). The trailer exaggerates character traits and fashion styles seen in TOWIE for comedic effect. It also challenges conventions like expensive branded clothing by drawing fake logos onto plain clothes. Shots and locations are styled to mimic TOWIE but with exaggerated or cheapened elements to emphasize the parody. The song used also relates to themes from TOWIE to be recognizable to the audience.
Unit 18 evaluation
1) The student evaluated their group's work on creating an advertising campaign for a fictional water brand called Kaela Vatn. They chose the name because the Icelandic words for "cool" and "water" sounded good together and conveyed sophistication.
2) The student played multiple roles in developing different advertisements, including designing a minimalist bus ad and writing the script/storyboards for a TV ad.
3) While effort was made across the group, the student reflects that improved communication and planning of recurring themes across advertisements could have made the campaign more cohesive and impactful.
Evaluation 3
1) Bringer Productions is a student film production company formed by three friends with red and brown hair.
2) They chose Dark Castle Entertainment as their production partner due to its experience and reputation through affiliations with major studios.
3) To fund their psychological thriller film about a blind man who kidnaps his daughter's killer, they plan to launch a Kickstarter campaign to attract investors and allow a larger budget.
Question 3
AnchorBay Entertainment would be a suitable distributor for the documentary title sequence. As they distribute films targeting teenagers and urban adults, like Honeytrap, they could reach the intended audience for the title sequence. AnchorBay distributes films nationwide digitally and theatrically. Additionally, the title sequence could be distributed online on platforms like Vimeo or in DVD format. Being distributed by a well-known company like AnchorBay would help the title sequence gain more exposure and popularity among teenage viewers.
Imagination shots
To distinguish the main character's imagined scenes with his "dream girl" from the original clips, the filmmakers decided to add a filtered effect and black outline to the imagined clips. They also believe filming the main character enjoying himself alone in the countryside expresses that the countryside is where he wants to be with the girl and represents him enjoying his time more in the country.
Evaluation q5
This document discusses the production elements of a youth drama film called "Grind". It aimed to appeal to a teenage male audience by using realistic props, clothing, and locations. The storyline follows a character pursuing football dreams while being drawn to gang culture. Feedback on a rough cut helped clarify the storyline. Outreach through social media and previews helped reach the target audience, which included some unexpected interest from adults as well.

Certain evaluation
The short film uses a romantic drama genre with two main characters who never physically meet, leaving the conclusion open to interpretation. Various film techniques like natural lighting, camera angles, and stop-frame animation were used to tell the story and appeal to young audiences. Technology elements like iPods and mobile phones were incorporated to make the setting seem modern. The film aims to challenge gender roles and appeal to both modern and art house audiences.

Question 3 (1) new
The document discusses research done for various ancillary texts created to promote a thriller film titled "Offline". It describes analyzing posters, trailers, and magazines for films like Candyman, Requiem for a Dream, and movies in Empire magazine. For the poster, they were inspired by Candyman's use of an eye to represent mystery and danger. For the trailer, they drew from techniques in Psycho, The Silence of the Lambs, and The Ghost Writer to build tension. The magazine took cues from Empire and X-Men: Apocalypse in its portrayal of characters. Audience feedback on the magazine led to changes in layout and colors.

Q1 Critical Perspectives Application of Key Concepts by Oli, Beth, Vincent An...
The document summarizes a music video project created by four students. The video uses surrealism and escapism to represent a dream world where anything is possible. It has an abstract narrative that challenges conventions of an indie rock genre video. Key elements include hand drawn props and scenery, manipulated lighting, a continuity editing style with simple cuts, and various shot types. The target audience is quite broad, from young children up to older viewers interested in analyzing the video's abstract style.
Q5 evaluation
The filmmakers aimed to attract a wider audience by blending crime and action genres. They shot the film in a car park in West Quay to create an underground urban feel, as they were looking for that vibe over potential alleyway or forest settings. The film uses codes and conventions correctly by having the drug dealer killed by the cop, but for questionable reasons that make the audience wonder about the cop's motives throughout the movie.
Evaluation Question 3
The document discusses a small, British independent film company that focuses on social realism films with low budgets. They worked with three other companies to fund, produce, and distribute their film: a larger independent film company that lent money and helped with production; a Hollywood sports film company that enhanced their budget and experience; and a distributor that specializes in independent, low-budget films. Their company idents for the film openings were kept very simple and minimalist to not distract from the social realism genre or make the film seem more Hollywood.
Film Evaluation
Our short film uses conventions of a romantic drama genre but presents an ambiguous narrative where the two protagonists never physically meet, leaving the conclusion open to interpretation. Scenes were filmed using natural light to seem authentic and symbolic music accompanies shifts in mood. We incorporate modern technology like iPods and phones to seem realistic yet challenge gender norms by having the female protagonist save the male from his dull life. Promotional materials like posters and magazine articles aim to appeal to both art house audiences and younger people to introduce them to specialized film.
Billboard
This billboard advertisement promotes the television series premiere of "Beauty and the Beast" through careful typographic and design choices. The masthead is centered to draw the viewer's eye, and is layered to imply deeper meaning beyond the original Disney story. Multiple fonts are used to distinguish key information like the date and tagline "HOW BRAVE IS YOUR LOVE?". Gold text and the male character's eyes reference wealth and triumph central to the plot. Only three colors, two images, and minimal clutter allow the message to stand out clearly.
Props & objects 1
The document discusses props and objects used in a music video, including a school bag to establish the characters as students, a typical student car that plays a role in the plot, placards with the words "London" and "Betrayal" to signify themes, and a bench to evoke emotions as it is often used in romantic or tragic scenes. The props and objects were chosen to help audiences relate to the characters and themes.
Evaluation question 2
The document discusses how the author created a trailer, poster, and magazine to effectively promote a psychological drama film called "Deluded". Key elements included creating a relatable main character who seems vulnerable but has hidden strength, and supplementing this with an unconventional film poster. The trailer, poster, and magazine maintain consistency with the simple title "Deluded" and themes of delusion, hallucination, mental illness, isolation, death, and revenge. The goal is to attract the target 16-25 demographic by entertaining and educating them on dealing with similar real-world issues.
Style Guide for Short-Film 'The Ordinary'
The document provides guidelines for the style of a short film project, including:
- The logo chosen through a survey of peers, with 50% preferring logo #5.
- The main font being a sans serif like Geo Sans Light, Caviar Dreams, or Champagne & Limousines.
- The color scheme starting in black and white to show a character change, with only a red phone box in color.
- A quote "In order to change your life, you must start with the little things" to be displayed towards the end in Goudy Bookletter 1911 or Linux Libertine font in white on a dark background of a phonebox.
Evaluation question 2- How effective is the combination of your main product ...
The promotional package for the film 'Ivy' effectively conveyed the crime thriller genre through consistent branding across a magazine, poster, and teaser trailer. Key elements like a dark color scheme, the use of polaroids as clues, and featuring the missing protagonist Ivy tied the materials together and created a memorable identity. Researching other campaigns like Gone Girl helped inform design choices to link the products in conveying the film's mysterious plot while appealing to the target 18-24 demographic.
Audience responce radio advert
The radio advertisement features two girls getting ready for a night out while one struggles to find something to wear. It aims to target young females aged 18-25. While most female respondents felt they could relate to the situation in the ad, the male respondents indicated they did not feel the ad was aimed at them and therefore did not pay close attention. The ad uses voices that sound the appropriate age for the target audience and provides details on the wide variety of clothing items available at the brand being advertised, Ellie-May. However, some felt directly mentioning that the brand is for "uni students" came across as patronizing by implying all they do is shop.
Question 1: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge fo...
Our media production "SKATE" uses various elements of thriller genre conventions to reinforce that it is a thriller film. These include character names and costumes that reference other thrillers, as well as props like a bike, skateboard, and car that are associated with stereotypes of reckless teenagers. Sounds were also used diegetically to represent characters and foreshadow events, challenging the genre's usual use of non-diegetic sound. The film was set in a local park and cafe that would be familiar to the target demographic and enabled the use of props, mirroring locations from other thrillers.
Question 2
The document discusses how different films like The Duff and 10 Things I Hate About You effectively used synergy between their main products and ancillary tasks to establish their brands. It analyzes how these films consistently used elements like color palette, font/house style, and main character images across their campaigns.

Audience response
The document summarizes feedback from audiences on advertisements for a clothing brand. It shows that the target audience of females aged 18-25 responded positively, finding the models and clothes suitable. However, the secondary audience of boys felt they couldn't relate to the ads as well as they focused only on female clothing and models. The boys wanted to see clothes and representations they could connect with more. Overall, the ads were more successful for the target demographic than the secondary male viewers.
Conventions Evaluation
The document discusses conventions in sponsorship sequences, radio ads, and television ads for fashion brands. It analyzes how the productions followed conventions such as upbeat soundtracks, showing outfits, and using different camera shots.

- A 20-second sponsorship ad will feature both male and female models with more dialogue to simply promote the product.
- Exotic locations and classy models are envisioned to match the perfume's image.
- Upbeat music without lyrics will be used, except at the end to identify the product.
Billboard

Together, these visual design choices effectively promote the premise and premiere of the new "Beauty and the Beast" series
Question 2
The document discusses the design and language choices for promotional materials for a short film, including posters and a magazine article. Key points made include using minimalist designs and mysterious imagery to intrigue audiences without revealing too much of the plot, employing conventions like pull quotes and minimal text to look professional, and targeting students interested in film and indie culture. Language in the promotions hints at the unconventional thriller genre to appeal to young audiences who enjoy scary films.

THE PORTFOLIO 2016
This portfolio document summarizes Jeffrey Lagden's graphic design work. It includes logos and identities he created for fictional companies as well as real clients. Some of the projects featured are logos for a delivery service, subway artwork, a photography business, and a film. The document also outlines his skills and work experience in graphic design, photography, and media production.
Media conventions
The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media products. It uses stereotypical conventions like having a dumb blond character who misses obvious clues. It develops conventions by using an Asian character, which is unusual for horror. It also challenges conventions by filming during the day rather than at night, as is typical, but still getting the desired scary effect.
Evaluation Question 2
The document discusses the goals and techniques used in creating a horror film and corresponding promotional materials, including a poster and radio trailer. It aimed to entertain audiences through thrills, suspense and fear while also exploring supernatural themes and psychological elements. Both the poster and radio trailer were designed to attract interest in the film and entice audiences to watch without revealing too much of the plot. The poster uses ominous imagery and a dramatic visual style while the radio trailer employs an eerie tone, snippets of dialogue and a cliffhanger ending to intrigue listeners.
Question 2
The combination of the main product (short film) and ancillary texts (film poster and review) is effective as they work well together as a package with consistent style and messaging. The film idea is different as it shows an unlikely romance between an unpopular boy and popular girl, giving hope to other geeky boys. While the marketing materials imply the two may end up together, the film realistically shows they do not, subverting expectations. The products are expanded to target young audiences through additional promotional materials like social media, interviews, and competitions.
Critical Evaluation Question 2
The document discusses the film "Rendezvous", a romantic comedy about a teenage boy who believes his longtime crush likes him back but discovers she actually likes his best friend. It aims to engage teenage audiences with relatable characters and a realistic plot. The film is rated PG for some kissing but no bad language, violence, or sexual content. The poster for the film maintains synergy with bright colors and images of the two main characters, conveying the comedy and romance themes. A radio trailer was also created to promote the film and engage audiences while avoiding spoilers.
Question 3
The document discusses research done for various media texts promoting the film "Offline".
It summarizes how the film poster for "Candyman" inspired elements of the "Offline" poster such as placing the main character's eye in the center. Feedback from test audiences is also discussed, noting they wanted more prominent actor names and distribution logos added to the poster.
Research on magazines and trailers informed the designs for promotional magazine covers and trailer for "Offline", adopting techniques like close-up character images and sudden loud music to build tension. Color schemes, character placements and mystery elements were chosen to effectively represent the thriller genre across all media texts.
Evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the filmmakers drew inspiration from post-apocalyptic films like 28 Days Later, The Book of Eli, The Road, and I Am Legend for various elements of their short film. They emulated locations, props, costumes, characters, sounds, and titles from these films to recreate the look and feel of the post-apocalyptic genre. While their film was inspired by these other works, it was not meant to be an exact replica and had to adapt certain elements due to budget and time limitations. The document analyzes the influences on their mise-en-scene, narrative, characters, and other components to demonstrate how it engages with conventions of the post-apocalyptic
Final Evaluation
Our media product uses and develops conventions of the crime thriller genre. We used darker colors and settings like a public area to challenge stereotypes about protagonists and locations of crime. For sound, we used tense music as well as sped up sound effects to create mystery. In editing, we included foreshadowing of characters and events through shots of the protagonist's life and fades between clips. This was meant to confuse the audience and follow the investigative conventions of thrillers. We represented teenagers realistically through our protagonist by giving her relatable attitudes, reactions, and fashion choices to appeal to our target age group audience.
Final evaluation
The document discusses what the creator has learned about technologies in constructing their media product. Some of the main lessons include:
- Learning more in-depth camera skills like the 180 degree rule for filming shots that flow together. This took several reshoots to master.
- Upgrading equipment from a low quality camcorder to a higher quality DSLR for the final product.
- Learning that reshoots would be needed due to problems in editing like missing props, changing weather, and audio issues.
- Gaining experience filming and editing in the thriller genre to create intended effects on the viewer by following or challenging conventions.
Evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the media project challenges conventions of typical horror films and trailers in several ways. It created a modernized version of the 2012 film The Possession, but did not follow costume conventions by dressing the young girl in pink rather than white. The trailer used atypical elements like an iPhone torch light and a soundtrack from Planet of the Apes to build tension and surprise the audience. Overall it aimed to challenge expectations while still using some conventional horror techniques.
Evaluation question 2 (2)
The document discusses the creation of a horror film and its promotional materials. It aimed to entertain audiences but also include serious issues to earn an age 15 rating. The film poster and radio trailer were designed to represent the horror genre through themes of suspense, ghosts, and intrigue without revealing plot twists. Feedback indicated the poster conveyed fear and intrigue while the trailer elicited scared and tense feelings, achieving the goals of drawing in audiences for the horror film.
Evaluation for media (1) (1) (1)
The document discusses various media products created to promote a film, including a film trailer, magazine cover, and posters. It examines how each product uses different media formats and conventions. The film trailer uses audiovisual elements to engage audiences across cinema, TV, and online. While challenging crime genre conventions, the trailer incorporates elements from other films to appeal to a wide target audience. The posters and magazine cover provide visual information about the film through creative silhouette images and minimal text. The combination of these promotional materials effectively builds intrigue around the film without revealing too much of the narrative.
Use, Develop, Challenge David Martin
Our media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of silent films and comedy genres. We incorporated silent film techniques like black and white with added color for symbolism, background music, and intertitles displaying text. However, we modernized the costumes, used varied camera angles beyond point-of-view shots, and switched between two characters rather than focusing on just one. These adaptations update the silent film format for a contemporary audience while still paying homage to inspirational early films.
Evaluation Question 2.
The document discusses the promotion of a film through various ancillary texts. It describes:
- The film's tagline "The infection is coming" which intrigues audiences about the post-apocalyptic storyline and features a strong female protagonist.
- The target audience of 15-30 year olds who like thought-provoking films. Social media and film festivals will be used to attract this audience.
- The film poster which teases the storyline and protagonist without revealing too much, intriguing audiences. It depicts the dystopian theme and appeals to the target market.
- The film magazine cover which showcases the film to a wider audience. It portrays the dark, dystopian genre through
Critical evaluation q2ppt
The document discusses how effective the film poster and two radio trailers are at promoting and selling the main film production. The film poster depicts the two main characters holding a coin to represent the important plot element and uses lighting and positioning to convey jealousy and tension. The radio trailers include sound clips from the film and nominations to appeal to audiences and represent the drama genre in a realistic way without being over the top. Both the poster and radio spots are deemed effective at grabbing attention and hinting at the storyline to interest viewers.

A2 Level Media Animals Displaying Homosexual Behaviour Research
Homosexual behavior is common across the animal kingdom. While isolated cases of same-sex mating in animals have been documented for decades, researchers now say it is a regular occurrence for some species. Darwin's theory of evolution implies genes for homosexual behavior should die out since they are less likely to be passed on, but that is not happening. Many animals regularly display homosexual tendencies, including rams, giraffes, penguins, dragonflies, bonobos, and seagulls. While dogs may try to mate with the same sex, they do not have a sexual orientation like humans, but can still exhibit sexual behaviors toward the same sex, such as attempting to mate or being overly affectionate.

A2 Level Media Studies Codes & Conventions of Short Film
This document provides guidance for creating short films that are 5-15 minutes in length. It discusses that short films should focus on one main topic with one or two main characters and an original plotline to avoid being too complex. The storyline should try to avoid cliches and incorporate new ideas. It also emphasizes developing the main character, giving them a clear goal or problem, and ensuring the acting depicts the characters effectively. Additionally, it outlines Todorov's narrative theory of equilibrium, disruption, realization, and restored order in stories. Finally, it notes that short films have small budgets but high audience engagement due to intense topics in short periods of time.
A2 Level Media History of Short Film
1) Short films originated in the late 19th century with one-shot actualities under 15 minutes depicting celebrities and scenes of daily life.
2) Technological advances in the early 1900s allowed for longer short films with multiple shots like George Melies’ 1902 film “A Trip to the Moon”.
3) During World War II, short films were used extensively for propaganda by the British and became popular viewing.
4) In the 1980s and 1990s, independent short film production rose as equipment became more affordable and music videos and platforms like YouTube created new venues for distribution.

Company Logo Design
Mima Productions chose their company name based on the founder's name to be short, simple and personal. Logos help develop familiarity with a studio and build reputation by allowing audiences to associate the logo with the genre a company produces. Logos are also accompanied by music and color schemes that further suggest the genre through being melodic or certain tones for a peaceful or dramatic feel. Mima Productions' initial logo design evolved into their final logo to represent these goals.
Location Search
The document discusses two filming locations required for a film project. The first location needed to be an old, run-down street to give the film a dystopian feel, while allowing for flexibility. The second location was a regular apartment that could be used to film day-to-day activities, which would take place either in the filmmaker's or a friend's apartment with parental permission. Potential locations were considered that fit the mood of the film and could be legally filmed in.
Production Schedule
The document outlines a 3 day production schedule. Day 1 involves filming outdoor scenes with actor Xue Bai playing Indigo wearing worn clothing. Day 2 moves filming inside with actor Ana Vasilescu playing Angela in casual clothes. Day 3 records voiceovers at a professional studio, including a news report with Sinisa Milosevic and crowd sounds with 4 other actors. The voiceovers will be adjusted using audio software.
Script & Storyboard Development
The document provides a synopsis and script development details for a film opening sequence. It describes a post-apocalyptic world where a disease has killed most people and left survivors struggling. The opening sequence montage shows how the two protagonists, Angela and Indigo, survive in different ways until they reunite. The initial script was evaluated and refined with shorter, more paced scenes. A rough storyboard was created using different shot types to convey mood. The final script will be sent to cast before filming.

A2 Level Media Short Film Postcard Initial Design
- 1. A2 Level Media Film Postcard Initial Design By Mima Micic
- 2. INFLUENCES In order to create a postcard for our film we derived inspiration from these two existing postcards. “Do I sound gay?” clearly portrayed its topic by having a rainbow in the postcard. “Beautiful Boy” is a coming-of-age film with a subtle and aesthetically pleasing postcard.
- 3. FIRST DRAFT In the first draft we wanted to incorporate the rainbow flag which represents the LGBTQ+ community. Having the dog on the rainbow would instantly portray the comedic aspect of this film. The bright colours would be eye catching to our audience and instantly attract the LGBTQ+ community as they would feel represented in the film. However, we believe that having the dog on the rainbow might give away the twist of the film and lead to it losing its comedic aspect.
- 4. FINAL DRAFT For our final draft we worked in more of the subtlety from “Beautiful Boy”’s postcard. The closet represents the commonly used metaphor of “coming out of the closet” which refers to someone coming out as gay or lesbian. The dirty pink dress is a reference to the one mentioned in the film. The bright ink dress being the only element in colour will draw the attention of viewers. Overall, this postcard is subtle yet eye catching and portrays the film’s dramedy feel.
