Q1 conventions
The document discusses conventions used in psychological thriller trailers, posters, and magazines. For trailers, it notes conventions like starting slow and increasing pace/editing over time, using camera angles to depict power dynamics between protagonist and antagonist, incorporating an eerie soundtrack and themes of mystery, tension, and drug use. For posters, it describes using bold fonts, black/red colors, and eye-catching main images relating to the film's content and genre. For magazines, the conventions include using attention-grabbing images and fonts, reviews, incentives, and headlines to attract readers.
Comparison to existing product
The document compares the branding strategies of a new film production to an existing Sherlock Holmes franchise. Both productions use consistent fonts, imagery of recognizable lead actors, and similar color palettes across promotional materials like posters and magazine covers. They also portray common genre themes of mystery and tension through techniques like low-key lighting and the mysterious poses of protagonists. By representing characters and conveying these themes uniformly, the productions establish clear and conventional brand identities that link their various promotional elements together.
Q2 brand identity
The document discusses how the author developed a consistent brand identity across three promotional materials - a film poster, trailer, and magazine cover. Specifically, the author used: 1) the same characters represented in the same way, 2) a single recognizable font, 3) similar dark and light colors, and 4) conventional layouts that appeal to the target audience. This consistent representation of themes, fonts, colors and targeting of the audience helps promote the film by clearly linking all the elements together under one identifiable brand.
Feedback summary
Josh Davey received feedback on his production tasks for promoting a psychological thriller film. The feedback indicated that his film trailer, poster, and magazine cover were generally appealing to the target audience as they used appropriate conventions of genre and form. However, the magazine cover image could be more eye-catching. Based on this feedback, Josh would make minor adjustments to settings and costumes in the film trailer, improve the main images on the poster and magazine cover to be more conventional and interesting, and ensure the poster does not cut off characters. This audience feedback would help Josh further improve his promotional materials and determine if his film product would appeal to the target audience.
Questionnaire results
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire sent to 10 members of the target audience about a film trailer, poster, and magazine cover created by Josh Davey for a psychological thriller film. The responses showed that the trailer met genre conventions and properly represented protagonists and antagonists. The film poster was also found to look professional and use appropriate colors, fonts, and images. However, the magazine cover was less successful and could have been more eye catching in its design.
Q1: Evaluation of ancillary tasks
This document analyzes the conventions used in a film poster for a psychological thriller genre. It notes that the poster uses conventional layout and design elements, including an image showing a dominant antagonist overpowering the protagonist to create tension. It also includes typical text elements like the film title and names as well as setting and lighting choices that convey an eerie and mysterious tone expected for the genre. The document concludes that the poster effectively utilizes established genre conventions to represent the psychological thriller film.
Conventions of existing ancillary tasks

For film posters, it notes conventions like including the protagonist's name, close-ups showing aggression, unique large titles, and contrasting colors.

Both forms typically have a tidy layout, blocking bill, release info, and follow consistent design structures.

First draft audience feedback
The document summarizes feedback from test audiences on the first draft of a film trailer. The audiences felt that the trailer met genre conventions by using exciting clips and shots to engage viewers while revealing just enough of the plot. They also found the trailer's use of camera angles, sound, editing, and mise-en-scene to be conventional and effective at building tension. However, some improvements were suggested, such as varying the locations of certain scenes and adding more chase sequences. Based on this feedback, the creator plans to re-film some scenes in new locations and include additional chase scenes.

The feedback identifies negatives such as scenes appearing one after the other without flow and some being too long.

Overall, the content was appealing but needed improvements in editing and sound to be a fully conventional trailer.

The feedback notes that the content and themes of the scenes were conventional but that the scenes lacked professionalism due to sound distortions, being too long without continuity, and not having enough variety of locations.

Audience feedback

Overall the planning received ratings of 8 or higher on appeal and conventionality from most respondents.

Task 1 genre research summary presentation
This document discusses conventions of psychological thriller film trailers.

Trailers showcase exciting scenes through structured narratives that leave audiences guessing at resolutions. Technical elements like close-ups, lighting shifts, and contrasting music are used to depict psychological changes. Editing typically slows during character development but speeds up during action sequences.
A2 Media: Analysis of similar products 3
This document analyzes shots from the film "Drive" and other similar thriller film trailers to identify conventions. It finds that establishing shots with low-key lighting set the mysterious tone for the genre. Shots of car chases are conventional and entertaining, using law enforcement as a signifier. Close-ups of a female love interest and emotion shots engage wider audiences. A low-angle shot introduces an antagonist visually depicting power over the protagonist. Money in a duffel bag arouses audience curiosity about criminal acts. Weapon props attract target audiences, and over-the-shoulder shots create mystery and engage viewers in the action. The document concludes key conventions like these can be applied to create an appealing thriller film trailer.
Questionnaire results

Comparison between my preliminary task and final product
The document compares the student's preliminary magazine cover and contents page to their final products. For both, the preliminary versions included few conventions and lacked conventional elements like appropriate images, layout, fonts, colors, and mode of address. However, the final products demonstrated improved skills and knowledge of magazine design conventions for things like photography, image editing, layout, fonts, colors, and creating a tone that appeals to the target audience. The student was able to apply what they learned to create more conventionally appealing magazine cover and contents page.
