How do my
  ancillary tasks
follow the codes
and conventions
  of real media
    products?
POSTER




Mostly, my movie poster has followed the codes and conventions of real movie posters. I used the poster for ‘The
Unborn’ as a basis for my poster. I noted the title should be bold, the credits and website info in small print at the
bottom, the company logos, e.g. regency pictures, below the credits in small, and a tag line for the film in bold on
the poster, and the central image clear and concise with no text intruding onto the main focus. I followed all these
conventions, but decided to challenge the conventions by adding in star ratings onto my poster, as I felt it would be
a good marketing strategy. However, if I were to undertake this task again, I would take more time in planning my
image, as I feel my image is bringing my grade down, and my image was constantly referred to in audience
feedback as not strong and bold enough for a movie poster.
MAGAZINE




My Empire cover mostly follows the codes and conventions of real Empire covers. The masthead is bold and at the top,
and the central image is bold and you can clearly depict the article to which it is relating. I have also positioned the
smaller feature articles round the central image similarly to the way the real empire cover has done. I have
conventionally included a small barcode, the price and date tucked within the ‘M’ on the masthead, and a tagline
for the magazine. I have challenged the conventions however, by making my magazine a ‘special horror edition’ and
therefore including a lot of blood dripping and blood splatter effects to coincide with the theme. My colour palette of
red and white was also chosen to coincide with the horror theme, but also because I didn’t really have much other
colours I could use, due to my quite muted image I had chosen. If I were to repeat the task, I would definitely take
more care in planning my image so that I had more colour choice for my magazine front cover and the fonts.
