This photograph taught me about using natural light outside without a flash.

Another picture showed me that increasing the shutter speed results in a blurry action shot. I enjoyed this image as it demonstrates selective focus. This picture allowed me to experiment with lighting effects to increase focus, and I like how it highlights the soft light on the models' silhouettes against a darker background.

Social media, billboards, magazines, festivals, and a website could help advertise the film.
The student analyzed horror trailers, magazines, and posters to understand conventions of the genre. Their analysis found conventions like starting trailers with non-scary scenes, using quick cuts and transitions in action scenes, and leaving the trailer on a cliffhanger. The student's own trailer followed many conventions but also challenged some, like including more soundtracks and not revealing the full plot. Their poster and magazine also followed conventions like using red/black/white colors while challenging expectations through unusual effects. In conclusion, the student felt their work used conventions effectively while also putting their own creative twist on the genre.
This document discusses the conventions used in creating a teaser trailer, film magazine cover, and poster for a teen drama film about cyberbullying. It examines how the media products follow conventions of those genres, such as using montage editing and voiceovers in the teaser trailer. Character stereotypes, settings, and issues of friendship and bullying seen in films like Mean Girls are also discussed. The document compares the created media products to real-life examples and notes how they fit conventions of lower-budget, independent films rather than large Hollywood blockbusters.
The student aimed to create continuity between their film trailer, poster, and magazine cover through consistent use of color, font, and mise-en-scene. A bright color palette of red and orange combined with darker tones of black and brown was used to convey a sense of action and comedy. The same bold font was used for the film title across all pieces. Character appearances, costumes, and lighting were kept consistent to clearly identify characters and combine the different promotional elements.

1) The document discusses the film opening created by the author for their creative portfolio. They aimed to develop and challenge conventions of the horror thriller genre while also using established conventions.
2) To do so, the author researched openings of other thrillers to understand typical elements like camerawork, editing, sound, and mise-en-scene. They shot in low-key lighting rather than complete darkness and added a night storm sound effect to create suspense.
3) The author also discusses distributing the film through Universal Studios due to their openness to different genres and ability to attract large audiences through major horror film franchises. They believe Universal would be the perfect company to distribute the low-budget film.

This document discusses the conventions of social realism that the film Reflux does and does not follow in its opening sequence. It begins by outlining the conventions of social realism, such as semi-improvised scripts, non-professional actors, location filming, and serious themes. It then analyzes specific elements of Reflux's opening that meet conventions, such as the themes, costumes, and natural lighting. Elements like varied shot types and more complex editing are discussed as challenges to convention. Narrative structure and comparisons to other films are also summarized.
The document discusses the conventions used in the author's comedy film and how it compares to other comedy films. It aimed to use recognizable conventions like humorous dialogue, close-ups, characters with problems, and high key lighting. Though it followed conventions from films like "The Change Up" and "Big", it challenged conventions by not having the two main characters switch lives in the end. The author also discusses emulating the format of reviews from Little White Lies, including using a rating system, film images, and details about the film. The author's review similarly included a rating system, film image, and paragraphs about the film.
This document discusses the conventions used in creating a teaser trailer, film magazine cover, and poster for a teen drama film about cyberbullying. It examines how the media products follow conventions of those genres, such as using montage editing and voiceovers in the teaser trailer. The magazine cover is modeled after the style of "Studio" magazine. Both the poster and magazine cover use pink, blue, and yellow colors typical of teen dramas. The document also analyzes how the media products incorporate character stereotypes, settings, issues, and technology common to the teen drama genre.
This document discusses how the media products developed for this project, including a teaser trailer, magazine cover, and movie poster, challenge or develop conventions of real media.
It analyzes how the teaser trailer follows conventions for length, use of montage, voiceovers, and music. The magazine cover develops conventions of "Studio" magazine in its layout, colors, and inclusion of standard elements. The movie poster is influenced by "Cyberbully" and includes typical elements like title, image, tagline, and credits.
The document also examines how the projects develop conventions of the teen drama genre through use of stereotypes, settings, technology as iconography, style, and focusing on the common issue of

+Q1 Real media soap
conventions
• It is a serialised drama that usually runs week-in, week-out, all year
round.
• It features continuous narratives dealing with domestic themes and
personal or family relationships.
• The plots are open-ended and usually many storylines are featured
or even interlinked in an episode. Often they follow the same issue,
with, for example, two characters dealing with the break-up of a
relationship. The storylines in these cases run parallel.
• They are often set around a small, central area such as a square (as
in EastEnders) or a cul-de-sac (such as Brookside).
• As a rule, British soaps are realistic or, at least, aim for realism.
10. Planning
+Q1 Real media soap conventions
• Lighting is basic e.g. Natural light or minimal light is used to create a gritty effect. This helps
to create realism due to the realistic light levels.
Mise en • Costume and make up is also basic, casual clothing is used to represent the personalities
scene of the characters.
• Many popular and well known soaps such as Coronation Street and Eastenders have a
memorable theme tune that is played at the beginning and end of every episode.
• Sound is mostly diegetic due to dialogue.
Sound • Lyrics used often portray the story and create the mood the producers want the audience
to feel (major and minor keys).
• Scenes are generally short to maintain the viewers interest – (parallel narratives) so cuts
are usually used to achieve this. Straight cuts are often used.
Editing
• Camera work is realistic and avoids tricks of any kind: POV shots, slow zooms, close ups.

48. Q3
From the survey I conducted I learnt that the
majority of people that watch soaps are
women nearly half. (48%) This is the main
reason we had more female characters than
male characters to make the soap more
relatable.
52% of men and 55% of women who watch
soaps started watching them between the
ages of 13-20. Therefore we decided to aim
our soap at women/teenagers this age.
49. Q3
All males asked answered “yes” to the
question: Do you think soaps can be
improved? Whereas only 43% of
women said yes. Because of this we
challenged and developed some
soap conventions.

•The video camera we used is
of high quality so we could
achieve crisp and sharp
moving images.
These are the products we used
to film our trailer and create our
ancillaries. We used a low
aperture to create depth of
field and a variety of shutter
speeds to create the
“flashback effect.”
56. Q4
We used three different video cameras in the making of our
soap trailer and one still camera.
We used three different video cameras to gain shot reverse
shots and over the shoulder shots, this added dimension to
my soap trailer.
We also used a still camera to take continuity shots, billboard
shots, front cover shots, location shots & character shots.
Continuity shots were very important so we could keep
hair, make-up and costume as similar as possible in each
scene.
Possible FC shots
57. Q4
I also wanted photos of the last scene in the trailer to use as “flashback images.” I
thought this was effective as my trailer is based around the character Sasha
having a flashback of recent events that have happened in her life. It creates the
effect that the character is blinking fast trying to remove the images.
