The combination of the author's three media products - a poster, magazine cover, and trailer - are effective at promoting a film called "Death Toll" without giving too much of the plot away. Consistency is achieved through using the same main character and props like a knife across all three. Camera shots were chosen deliberately for each format to follow conventions. Only revealing select details in each product piques audience interest and drives them to experience the other media to learn more without spoiling the overall story. Feedback has confirmed the poster and magazine cover successfully balance revealing just enough to intrigue viewers.

Evaluation on photography
The document discusses how photography and Photoshop were used to create a poster and magazine cover for a class project. For the poster, multiple photos were taken of parts of a trailer to relate to each other. Photoshop was used to add effects and blend images without much time spent. For the magazine cover, similar shots were taken to find the best style and relate to the trailer theme. Photoshop skills from previous experience were applied, including proper formatting of text and shapes to highlight elements.
Cinematography Research
This document discusses cinematography techniques used in magazine covers and layouts. It analyzes covers from the magazine Kerrang, noting that the main artist is featured prominently in close-up shots on the front cover and contents page to draw attention. A double page spread is also examined, using a long shot to fit the whole band but some members stand out more than others due to positioning. The document discusses techniques like close-up shots, medium shots, eye contact, and quotes that draw in readers.
Question 1 evalution media
This document discusses the conventions used in the media product's design. It summarizes:
The masthead, main image, cover lines, and contents page utilize common magazine conventions like font, color scheme, and image placement. Some conventions are challenged, like the barcode being moved to the bottom right corner. Subtitles are used on the contents page to break up content categories and make it easier to read. A double page spread title is in bold font to catch the reader's eye, with a positioning statement underneath to summarize the article. In summary, the media product employs many typical magazine conventions while making some minor adjustments.
Q1 part 3
1) The document discusses the forms and conventions used in film posters and how the creator's poster for their trailer followed or challenged these conventions.
2) The creator researched horror movie posters to inform their poster design and based their poster on the "stalker" poster, using a black, white, and red color scheme with multiple images along the bottom.
3) The creator's poster included the main characters, tagline, credits, and age rating like typical posters while not explicitly highlighting the stars which posters usually do.
Use of photoshop for images
The document discusses the selection and editing of images for the cover and spreads of a magazine. It describes choosing images based on the clothing and makeup of artists that would appeal to and be relatable for the target audience. Photoshop was used to edit the images, including expanding the backgrounds, making them black and white or adjusting complexions, in order to better fit the design of the magazine pages. Feedback was received to crop one image more to focus less on clothing and more on the artist, in keeping with the genre of music discussed.
Produce Raw Images
The document discusses images chosen for different sections of a magazine. For the front cover, a young male model was used with a relaxed expression to appeal to the target audience. Contents page images included a band wearing bright masks to stand out. A double page spread used an image of the cover star doing graffiti to relate to the urban theme. Images were selected to follow conventions but also make the magazine appealing to a young audience.
The election of photos
This document discusses the selection of photographs to feature in the magazine "Crossfire". It provides reasoning for the photos chosen to represent the main artist on the cover, double page, and content page. A photo of a female artist was also selected, using a red background and makeup to draw attention. Not all photos taken could be used, such as one of the main artist where his eyes were not focused and the guitar drew too much attention away from him. Another photo of the female artist was also passed over because the eye contact and lighting did not properly capture her intended presentation in the magazine.
Selection of pictures
This document discusses the selection and use of photos in a music magazine called Crossfire. It provides reasoning for why certain photos of artists were chosen for the cover, double page spread, and content page. Factors that influenced photo selection included eye contact and focus, simplicity that allows for text, reflecting the artist's appearance and passion for music, and using lighting and angles to draw attention. Photos that were not chosen did not have as strong eye contact or focus on the artist compared to props or did not allow the artist to stand out as clearly.

Taking pictures
The document discusses photographs taken by the author for their magazine cover and double page spread. They took photos of the artist Kerry Glaysher, who was the focus, as well as other people to include in the magazine. The author evaluates four photos of Kerry Glaysher and explains why they chose one photo for the cover - they felt it had the best eye contact, background colors, and tone for the magazine.
Ancillary
1) The combination of the film magazine and poster were successful in promoting the film and attracting the target audience. Familiar thriller conventions like certain colors and imagery were used.
2) While the magazine followed typical film magazine conventions, brighter colors were used compared to typical dark thriller magazines in order to make elements stand out.
3) The poster uses colors, characters' emotions and positioning, and the text "Trust no one" to create suspense and intrigue around the film's storyline.
My sketches for my poster
The document discusses three drafts of a movie poster the author created. The first draft used a basic layout with the title and subheading at the top and an image and paragraph below to test its effectiveness. The second draft had a similar layout as the first to follow professional poster conventions. The third draft did not follow conventions to see how unusual design would attract the target audience and persuade them to watch the trailer.
Ancillary tasks and teaser trailer
The document discusses the poster, magazine cover, and trailer created by the author for a class project about obsession. For the poster, the author likes that the main image catches the audience's attention without revealing the full story and symbolizes obsession. For the magazine cover, the author used similar red and white colors as the trailer and portrayed the main character as desirable to hook the audience. Shots from the poster and trailer connect by showing close-up emotions of confusion/mystery and fear/shock. The author reflects that using the colors red, white, and black throughout ties all elements together but could improve by making images darker and main character appear more hidden.
First Draft of Double Page Spread and Responce to Feedback
The document provides feedback on ways to improve the design of a double page magazine spread. It notes that the main title, pull quote, and primary image could be more attention-grabbing. The spacing of columns and cropping of a secondary image need to be made consistent. Including a page number and photographer credit are also recommended to make the spread look more polished.
Images in my magazine
The document discusses image choices for the contents page and cover of a magazine. For the main contents image, the author chose a photo of a female model to represent women in the magazine and create space for the contents listing. Two secondary images were chosen - one for a good headshot of a band member and another for its spontaneous facial expression under blue lighting. The front cover image shows all band members making direct eye contact with the camera to draw readers in, with different levels creating a laid back feel reflecting the band's close relationship.
Audience feedback
Megan provided feedback on various aspects of the magazine. For the front cover, she suggested changing the close-up picture to a mid-shot and adjusting the font size. She felt the contents page looked professional with its Q-style formatting and pictures, but could include more text. The first double-page spread was Megan's favorite with its professional look and color scheme. For subsequent spreads, she enjoyed the articles but noted spelling errors and suggested flipping one of the pictures to the other page.
Evaluation 7
The document summarizes the changes made from the preliminary to the finished school magazine.
In the preliminary: the front cover took inspiration from a music magazine and focused on rebellion; the contents page layout was rushed.
For the finished magazine: the candidate changed everything and incorporated issue numbers, dates, and genre text on the cover; the contents page took inspiration from another candidate's work but with their own spin; the double page spread took inspiration from another source and used tools like layering and grids.
The key lesson was that more meaningful text and improved layout, color, and photos were needed for a higher grade. Inspiration was drawn from various magazines and candidates to create a cohesive, polished final product.
3. fmp production experiments
Olivia Waller created experiments for a T-shirt design, CD cover, and magazine article to promote her band. For each experiment, she used Photoshop tools like the magnet tool to cut out elements, the text tool to add labels and details, and the magic wand tool to isolate elements. While the experiments achieved her goals, she plans to refine elements like changing bold colors, adding more band details, and using better fitting photos in her final products. The experiments helped her determine effective layouts and techniques to include like photos of the band and text to identify each product for her target audience.
3. production experiments(3)
Harriet Smith conducted experiments creating a poster for a fishing magazine. She used an existing poster as inspiration, incorporating a photo of a man fishing that the original poster lacked. She edited the photo to make it distinct from the original online image. For her final product, she plans to use the same layout from her experiments and center the images around a theme, while using a different photo than in her experiments.
Evaluation q7
The author learned to better edit photos, conduct research on existing magazines, and improve font and layout selection. For the preliminary task, photos were not edited, research was not conducted, and default fonts were used without consideration for layout. However, for the final product, photos were manipulated to look more professional, research was done on popular music magazine conventions, and custom fonts from online sources were selected to make the layout more creative and intriguing for the audience.
Photoshoot- Raw Photo Analysis
These documents discuss editing images for a magazine spread about a pop artist. The images will be edited to black and white but keep the red logo, and enhance shadows and highlights. One image will be used on the front cover to attract readers with contrast and the model's pose. Another fun image will be on the contents page. Three vertical images on one side will contrast a large horizontal image on the other side of a double page spread, showing the artist's unique poses and personalities.
Double page analysis
The document provides details on the design choices made for a double page magazine spread interview. It includes:
1) An explanation of why two photographs were chosen - one shows the subject's happy personality, while the other shows her serious side.
2) Details on editing the photographs to black and white to match the magazine's color scheme.
3) Information on formatting choices for the title, questions, and layout based on researching other magazines.
4) Notes on blending the large photograph into the black background and adding design elements like borders and fonts to enhance readability and visual interest.
Development of contents page
The document describes the development of a contents page for a magazine, showing initial mock designs and layouts that were referenced, and photos that were included. It then shows the final contents page that was produced after adding all the desired text and images based on research from analyzing another magazine's contents page for layout techniques.
Photograph selection for magazine cover 3
This document discusses potential photographs for a magazine cover and analyzes each option. The photograph selected features a model with open and friendly body language making direct eye contact with the camera. Bright, even lighting allows all subjects to be clearly seen and creates a positive atmosphere. These qualities help viewers understand the magazine's genre and tone.
Image manipulation
This document discusses several photos taken for the front cover and layout of a music magazine. It describes how each photo was initially considered but ultimately not used due to over-manipulation making the model appear too posed or artificial rather than focusing on the music content. The last photo is described as the one finally chosen for the double page spread due to the natural expression and variety it provided compared to other shots.
Evaluation of practical product
My media product is a magazine aimed at teenage girls interested in rock music. To make it look like a real magazine, I used conventions like short catchy titles, professional studio photographs, and typical rock star clothing on the cover. I included a teenage girl as the main cover artist to challenge stereotypes. The layout and color scheme mimic existing rock magazines. My goal was to attract teenage readers by using bold colors, relatable models, and a teen-friendly font. I learned key Photoshop skills like using layers and tools to design magazine pages. Feedback helped me improve empty space and make the main story stand out more with better use of colors.
Experiments of images media
This document discusses images selected for use in a magazine front cover, contents pages, and double-page spread. For the front cover, the author chose a group photo showing the band members standing closely together to portray intimacy. For the contents pages, the author used photos of two band members and a group shot, along with makeup images. The double-page spread photo depicts the band members in an informal, cheeky pose pointing at the reader for a more fun, girly appeal compared to other serious photos. The backgrounds were removed from the images to keep a consistent white background throughout the magazine.

For each piece, the student aimed to follow conventions of real media products in the genre while also adding some unique and challenging elements. For the movie trailer, they researched what their target audience of teenagers and young adults liked in horror films. For the poster and magazine cover, the student used bold fonts, prominent imagery, and color schemes typical in horror media to draw in viewers, but placed the imagery in an unconventional way on the cover. They took inspiration from real movie marketing while putting their own creative spin on the elements.
Question 2 media
The combination of the trailer, poster, and magazine for the film effectively target the intended audience. The poster features the antagonist seen in the trailer to connect the two. Both the trailer and poster have a dark theme. The magazine cover includes the main character undergoing a dramatic scene also shown in the trailer. Though with different images, the magazine and poster both have a dark theme and include characters prominently shown in the trailer. Together, the products represent the film well and appeal to the target horror film audience through their use of dark themes, scary images, and suspenseful sound effects.

The key elements that linked the materials together included consistent fonts, color schemes, characters, and slogans. Audience feedback indicated the poster was most effective at promoting the film due to its bold design and appeal to the target genre, while the magazine cover was less successful and could be improved by incorporating consistent colors and links to drive online engagement. Overall, the typography and color schemes best conveyed the connection between the promotional pieces, according to feedback.
Media Evaluation Question 2
The document discusses the synergy between a film trailer, poster, and magazine created to promote the same film property. It analyzes how the use of characters, fonts, colors, lighting, and Saul Bass-inspired artistic style in each product helps to effectively promote the others through cross-promotion. User feedback was gathered through a questionnaire and applied to refine the magazine design. Overall, the author feels the combination of the main products achieves synergy and self-promotion through their consistent visual elements and interconnected promotion of one another.
Presentation q2
The document evaluates the effectiveness of combining a film trailer with ancillary texts like a poster and magazine cover. It finds that the trailer, poster, and magazine cover work well together through consistent branding elements like matching fonts. Continuity is created between the products to associate them with the same film. Key details and reviews are repeated across the trailer, poster, and magazine cover to clearly link the products together and promote the film. Overall, the combination of the film trailer with supporting marketing materials like the poster and magazine cover is deemed effective at promoting the film and intriguing audiences to learn more.
Evaluation
The document summarizes the student's evaluation of their media products which were created to replicate real media forms and conventions. The student researched target audiences and analyzed professional magazines, posters, and trailers in the thriller genre. They created ancillary texts including a teaser trailer, poster, and magazine cover using conventions from the reference materials. Feedback from a focus group found that the teaser trailer conveyed the genre well but could benefit from a higher production quality. The student used various software and online tools in the construction, research, and evaluation of their media products.
Question 3
The student learned several things from audience feedback on their film poster, magazine cover, and film trailer. For the poster, they learned unusual central images that are eye-catching and mysterious work best. The feedback also suggested including the names of main actors. For the magazine cover, an unusual central image of the main character from behind created mystery. However, smaller text could stand out more. The trailer worked best with a variety of shots edited together to create intrigue, and action shots were well-received. However, the music could build more dramatically and dialogue would help explain the story. Overall, the student learned techniques that engaged audiences and areas that could be improved for greater impact.
Question 3
The student learned several things from audience feedback on their film poster, magazine cover, and film trailer. For the poster, they learned unusual central images that are eye-catching and mysterious work well. The feedback also said the colors were effective and suggested including actor names. For the magazine, placing the main character with their back to viewers created mystery. Small text needed better contrast. The trailer worked well with varied shots and color/lighting contrasts, and action shots were enjoyed. However, the music could build more dramatically and dialogue would aid understanding. Overall, the feedback showed what elements to continue using and how to improve impact.
Evaluation question 2
The poster and magazine review were created to complement and promote the film product. The poster uses fonts, imagery, and information to attract audiences and draw them in by featuring the director, actors, and release date. It communicates the genre visually through an eye-catching design. The magazine review also aims to attract audiences using information about the film and a critic's opinion to influence readers. Positive reviews are important for driving consumer interest and purchases. Images and fonts were selected carefully for both pieces to represent the film's tone and genre. The combination of the poster and magazine review effectively promoted the film.
Evaluation question 2 for A2 Media
for my advanced media coursework portfolio. In this I evaluate how effectively my three media products work together- one main video and two printed media texts
Evaluation
The document discusses how the author used and challenged conventions of the thriller genre in their media product. They conformed to conventions such as fast-paced editing and suspenseful music to make the product convincing. However, they also challenged conventions somewhat by having a female villain and showing the story from the villain's perspective. Audience feedback helped shape the product, and the author learned new media technologies like Photoshop and Issuu to aid their planning, research, construction and evaluations.
Q2
The document discusses the effectiveness of combining promotional products for a film. Ancillary texts like posters and magazine covers were created to advertise the film and attract audience attention through different media. Consistent elements like color schemes, fonts, and the main character were used across the products to clearly link them and create recognition. Researching conventions of the horror genre helped design the poster with a red, black, and white color scheme and smoky text. This synergy between the texts is believed to make the promotional package more effective at marketing the film and piquing audience interest before release.
Media Studies
The student challenged conventions in their teaser trailer by using slow motion and fades between shots rather than quick editing. Shots were also reversed to portray supernatural elements. Feedback was positive about the trailer and poster connecting the theme of escaping reality, but the plot was unclear. The student learned to provide more context in promotional materials to engage audiences.
Evaluation
The student created a film trailer, magazine cover, and poster as part of a media project. For each product, they researched conventions of real media in that genre to develop professionally-looking pieces that would appeal to audiences. The trailer, poster, and magazine cover each incorporated some common conventions like prominent images and titles, but also included some unconventional elements for freshness. Feedback was not collected from audiences. A variety of media technologies were used in the research, planning and construction stages of the project.
Evaluation Question 2 - OCR A2 MEDIA
This is my evaluation for question 2 of my A2 Media coursework. The question was: How effective is the combination of you main product (film trailer) and your two ancillary tasks (film poster + film magazine cover).
Evaluation Question 2
The document discusses the effectiveness of combining a teaser trailer, promotional poster, and magazine cover for a horror film project. It analyzes the links between each piece, including use of similar fonts, taglines, characters, and settings. While the trailer and magazine cover have clearer connections like shared backgrounds, the relationships between the trailer and poster as well as the poster and magazine cover are more vague due to differences in colors, characters featured, and lack of common visual elements beyond the masks.
Evaluation question 3
The document provides feedback from multiple reviewers on marketing materials produced for a horror film project. Key points included improving consistency of fonts, logos and settings across materials, balancing sound elements in the trailer, and further developing the retro theme in the magazine. The respondent agreed with most feedback, noting areas they would adjust if reproducing the work, but felt the overall materials were effective given the resources available.

Research and planning evaluation
The document discusses the various media technologies used during the research, planning, and evaluation stages of a project to create a horror film trailer. SlideShare was used to present research on the types of ICT that would be used. Prezi was utilized to analyze genres of trailers and posters. YouTube provided the most research into different genres to decide on creating a horror trailer. Taxedo portrayed the common words describing horror films. A camera took photos of storyboards, character profiles, and auditions. Photoshop created character analyses representing written backstories. Google allowed research of magazines and posters without purchasing them and found inspiration for the magazine cover and poster.
Construction and development construction of poster
The document summarizes the steps taken to create a movie poster for Friday the 13th. The creator used Photoshop to add pictures and textures to make the background look misty and dark. Two main characters from the film were embedded into the background. Bright colors were used for the title to make it stand out, while other text was kept white. Expert witnesses were added in yellow instead of the conventional white to stand out less than the date, which was made white to draw more attention. Audience feedback showed the poster was effective without revealing too much of the film.
Research and Planning: Use of ICT
Imogen Law outlines the various media technologies and software she will use to create her media products, including Premier Pro to edit her trailer, Photoshop to design her magazine cover and poster, her own camera to film outside of school, WordPress to present her work, Poll Daddy to get audience feedback, YouTube for trailer research, a memory stick to store and back up her work, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint to write and present, Animoto to create a video, and Prezi to creatively present her work on her blog.
Use of ict
The document discusses the tools and software Imogen Law will use to create a promotional poster, magazine, and trailer for a project. She will use Adobe Photoshop to generate original design ideas. She will back up her work onto a USB drive to avoid losing files and allow her to work from home. Imogen will use both her personal camera and a school camera to film footage for the trailer and not be dependent on only one device.
Ideas
The document discusses ideas for a horror movie trailer set in a hospital. The first idea is about an insane girl who is committed to a normal hospital and goes on a killing spree. The second idea features a girl visiting her friend in the hospital after her mother's death, when she is stalked by a man with a sack on his head seeking revenge. A third idea involves friends spending the night in an abandoned hospital where a killer's rampage occurred and still resides.
Trailers
The document discusses and analyzes three horror movie trailers of different durations and genres. For the first trailer, the document notes the use of static shots and cut shots that build fear and intrigue. For the second trailer, it describes an opening with a metronome representing time and a woman running away from something, showing she is running out of time. For the third trailer, it observes the use of camera click shots and flash cuts that make the film intriguing without giving away the plot, along with dull lighting appropriate for horror. The document also discusses getting inspiration for a story idea from a book about a girl who gets hurt in dreams and wakes up with the same injuries.
Evaluation abillity to refer to choices made
The document discusses the choices made in designing various elements of a magazine. For the front cover, the creator took inspiration from Kerrang magazine and followed normal conventions like having the title span the page and including a barcode. Feedback confirmed the articles followed normal layout conventions. For the contents page, inspiration came from how another magazine split up the word "contents." The creator felt rearranging the words helped with layout. For the double-page spread, no major magazines provided inspiration as the ideas were original, but some conventions like how interviews are presented were followed. The outcome was pleasing without too much reliance on conventions.
Construction and development double page spread
- The document discusses the author's double page spread for a construction and development project.
- It interrogates the illustration and text on the spread, noting how the red box and picture of Pandora define the separate interview section.
- It acknowledges less variety in fonts was used than the cover due to the need for consistency in the interview text.
- Accurate language was important for the spread given the amount of text, though minor errors may remain due to time constraints of editing.
Development of double page spread
This document outlines the nine steps taken to develop a double page magazine spread with a flower and purple theme. The steps include:
1) Adding a hand in the background of the main photo to complement the flower theme in purple.
2) Arranging main photos in a film strip to look unique and relaxed.
3) Including an interview quote with a blurred white background to make it stand out.
4) Adding boxes and columns of text for an evenly defined look that follows conventions.
5) Including another interview extract in a light purple box in the column middle.
6) Editing a profile photo in Photoshop to look more defined and laid back.
7) Adding a second
Construction and development contents page
The document discusses three aspects of the contents page construction:
1) Appropriate interrogation of illustration and text, ensuring the text clearly relates to the images.
2) Awareness of need for variety in fonts, using a consistent font for the band name but varying other fonts through effects like bolding.
3) Accurate use of language, using simple language but ensuring spelling and relevance through peer feedback.
Development of contents page
The document describes the four step process for developing a contents page for a magazine. In step one, the creator developed a smoky purple floral background theme to match the front cover. In step two, four pictures were collaged with descriptive text and the word "contents" was added with a purple glow. Step three added the page listings in purple text on a black box with page numbers emphasized. Step four added a faded red bar at the bottom with additional details and a tilted picture was included to make the layout more informal.
Construction and development front cover
The document discusses the creator's front cover for a magazine, addressing three areas:
1) Their use of illustrations and text together, feeling they are well organized and representative of each other.
2) Their use of five different fonts to add variety while avoiding being scattered. The fonts were chosen for their meanings and conventions.
3) Their use of accurate and appropriate language, ensured by research, spellcheck, and feedback to clarify the content for readers.
Development of front cover
The document describes the 12 step process taken to design the front cover of a magazine.
1) The main photo was chosen and edited to remove unwanted flashes and enhance features.
2) Additional elements were added including the magazine title, band name, articles, and album art.
3) Formatting and design elements were adjusted to make the layout symmetrical and visually appealing, including adding blurs and tilting images.
Draft layouts
The document provides draft layouts for the front cover, contents page, and double page spread of a magazine. It includes two concepts for the front cover, contents page, and double page spread with inspiration taken from different magazines. A poll will be conducted to get audience feedback on the best layout options.

Evaluation presentation
- 1. Evaluation How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks?
- 2. I believe that the combination of all three of my media products are effective. I believe that they are continuous and create and all round professional look.
- 3. Consistency: These pictures were used within my trailer, the second photo was from my poster that I made, I believe that this makes the combination of my products to become more effective as the same image is used, and it becomes continuous, and it is obvious they are related. In addition to this I have kept up the brightness of the text ‘Death Toll’ like I said I would as I did want it to stand out.
- 4. Lighting and Text: Along with this I believe that I have kept the lighting of my products consistent throughout my products. This is because there are some dark shots within my trailer. My poster is mainly dark, and the main character within my magazine cover is also dark. It is clear to see from these pictures that the lighting within my three products are all consistent and I believe that consistency is one of the main things that needs to be shown through my final media products. Poster: Magazine: Trailer:
- 5. I think all three of my products work really well together and all compliment each other. I believe that if a person was to look at both my magazine and my poster, there would not be much that has been given away. This was one of the reasons as to why I only chose to put the main characters on my poster and magazine. In addition to this audience feedback has proven that my magazine and poster do not give much away which therefore makes them want to know more about the film. I believe that the camera shots that I have used for both my magazine and poster are appropriate. I used a long shot for my poster so that the audience were able to see the ‘killer’ clearly in the poster. I then used a wide close up for my magazine cover as I learnt in my AS coursework that this camera shot is the most effective for a magazine cover, so this is why I decided to use it and follow normal convention.
- 6. Using the main characters: I decided to only use one character on each of my ancillary tasks. I believed that this would make my work more effective. In addition to this I believed that it would allow the combination of my three products to be far more effective. This is because the poster and the magazine cover are completely different and are not related at all. This therefore gives the reader and the viewer more of an insight into what the trailer will be about, without giving too much away. In addition to this I have used the main character within my magazine cover, and vice versa. This also allows the viewers to think about the connection that the two may share within the film.
- 7. Props: I have used a knife within all of my products. I believe that this creates an effective combination of my media products as it shows how I have tried to make some things consistent. I thought that by taking a lot of the pictures with the ‘killer’ holding a knife I wouldn’t have to include many knife scenes within my trailer, this was a good thing as I didn’t really want many knife scenes, as it would make the viewers aware and think they know what the film is about.
- 8. Overall I believe that the combination of my media products are effective and help generate a valid outlook on what my intentions are. I will be gaining feedback in order for me to fully understand how effective the combination of my media products actually are.
