Planning my poster
Emma is planning her poster for a horror movie trailer. She wants to use a close-up portrait photo of her villain that is symmetrical. She chose a photo that could be easily edited in Photoshop and met her criteria. In Photoshop, she altered the image to make the villain look more demonic by changing his eye color and adding shadows. She also adjusted his mouth and added dark circles under his eyes. For the title, she used a large font similar to the trailer and made the middle word "DEVIL" red to convey danger and power.
Making My Ident
1) The document discusses the creation of an ident, or logo, for a film studio called Fenris Studios.
2) Key aspects of other film company idents like Universal and Dreamworks were analyzed for conventions.
3) The ident created features a silhouette of a wolf howling on a rock with the words "fenris STUDIOS" below in different case letters, inspired by Momentum Pictures.
4) The ident was designed in Photoshop and uses a free clipart wolf image to reflect the dark nature of films the studio will produce.
Evaluation Q1
The document discusses how the film uses conventions of real filmmaking. It describes using editing software to cut clips, cinematography with multiple cameras, inclusion of props, costumes, sets, and copyright-free music. It notes that the surreal comedy genre features an unexpected plot twist and hybrid elements. While intended for online viewing rather than mainstream cinema, the unconventional mystery-comedy format with an open ending challenges some conventions.
Question 6
The document summarizes what was learned about using various technology during the construction of a film. It discusses using a digital SLR camera to control ISO and zoom, which helped make shots look more professional in dark locations and vary shot types. It also describes using a tripod to keep shots steady and allow tilting and height adjustment for different angles. A dolly was used to allow the camera to move in tracking or arc movements for a smooth professional look. Adobe Premiere software allowed editing shots, adding effects like filters to convey feelings, and transitions like dissolves for pacing and flow. Practical lights were adjusted for amount of light and brought in to expose actors in dark locations while maintaining the desired lighting look.
EVALUATION QUESTION 1 AS MEDIA
The document discusses how the media product uses and develops conventions of real films. It summarizes that the opening ident, title "Daddy's Girl", family home location, pink costume, close-up and long shots, editing with quick cuts and shot-reverse-shot, dark lighting, and bold white and red credits all develop conventions typical of horror films. The general concept of including death also uses conventions that have made other horror films successful.
Evaluation 6
The document discusses the use of various multimedia tools and equipment used to complete blogging assignments and film productions as a group. Prezi was used to create engaging presentations, Blogger allowed sharing of work and receiving feedback, and YouTube was used to upload finished films and embed them in blogs. During filming, the group used a DSLR camera, tripods, and lighting equipment. Challenges with lighting were addressed, and After Effects was used to darken shots. Soundtracks from freesound.org helped build suspense.
Editing in trailers
This document discusses editing techniques used in movie trailers. It explains that trailers commonly use transitions like fades to change scenes. Jump cuts and montage editing are also used to make the trailer feel fast-paced and dramatic or to provide information about the plot. The pace of a trailer changes depending on the film genre, with horror/thriller trailers typically using a faster pace to build tension. Different genres also employ distinctive editing techniques, such as fast pacing, CGI, and changes in volume for horror and vampire films and fast pacing, loud music, and match cuts for action movies. Effective trailers connect their editing to the plot and narrative through techniques like color schemes and changes in pace.
Olivia media Question Four
The document summarizes the student's use of various online tools, software, and hardware during their research, planning, construction, and evaluation phases of a project. Some key tools used included SlideShare and Piktochart for research, Emaze and Pinterest for planning, Photoshop and Final Cut Pro for construction, and PowToon and Prezi for evaluations. Strengths and weaknesses of each tool are provided.

Media poster
Ross Barham created a practice film poster by editing a photo in Photoshop and Illustrator. In Photoshop, he darkened the background and cut out the subject. He then used Illustrator to add text for the billing block and title using custom fonts inspired by The Silence of the Lambs. Finally, he returned to Photoshop to blend the background and subject using the smudge tool before cropping and saving the final poster. The process helped Ross re-familiarize himself with the Adobe suite.
Playing around with effects
The document discusses experimenting with different visual effects in Adobe After Effects and Premiere to create text elements for a horror movie trailer. It explores effects like "Shatter" and "Block dissolve" to symbolize the main character's insanity. User testing showed the "Block dissolve" effect did not effectively convey the intended horror genre. Alternate fonts and effects in After Effects like a shattered text were found to better reinforce the narrative and horror elements.
Credits over a black screen
Credits over a black screen involve displaying the opening credits of a film in white text on a black background. This simple technique is commonly used to convey bleakness and terror effectively in thrillers. It incorporates the key codes and conventions of the thriller genre by using the contrast of black and white to represent the dichotomy of good versus evil and build suspense and tension from the beginning of the film. As the document discusses creating a horror thriller that starts slowly building suspense, credits over a black screen would be the most effective title sequence approach.
Development of New Logo
Triple Skull Productions developed a new horror-themed logo featuring three skulls. They began by selecting the font "Black Asylum" to convey themes of death and mortality for a horror production company. Images of two skulls were found on Tumblr and permission was obtained to use them. The skulls were imported into Photoshop and resized to fit alongside the text. A third central skull image was added and resized to be larger than the others, placing it in the foreground. This completed the symmetrical three-skull logo design for Triple Skull Productions.
Final cut pro tools
The document discusses various Final Cut Pro tools used to edit a film trailer. A luma keyer was used to darken shots that were too bright. Shorter shots created with the blade tool increased the pace of the fight scene. Fade to color transitions were used between shots to create tension by fading to black. A flash effect contrasted normal shots to signify supernatural elements and fantasy in the trailer.
Poster Design
The poster uses a black border framing technique inspired by the film "Alibi." Originally, the designer planned to split the two main characters to create a mirror effect, but it looked unnatural. Instead, the background is black and white while the foreground is oversaturated. Photos were taken of coins dropping fast to capture detail and of actors with standard lighting. In Photoshop, the actor photos were used to create streaks of paint leaking off the protagonist for a surreal effect. Layers were constructed including coins, money, and a psychedelic pattern. The title flips colors to reflect the saturated image above using a clean font for contrast.
Presentation1
The document discusses the design choices for ancillary materials to promote a dark film. A dark background, big red font, and the female protagonist are used throughout posters, magazine covers, and other collateral to create familiarity and emphasize the genre. Key characters and outfits are featured to provide variety, establish interest, and give glimpses of the film's story without revealing too much.
Fotoflexer power point
The document describes several effects available on the photo editing app Fotoflexer: Comic, Retro, Twirl, Gray Scale & Softening, Sepia, Color Rotate, Color Sketch, and Pop Art. For each effect, the document provides an example of a photo before and after applying the effect. It concludes by listing several image sources in the Works Cited.
Double page spread comparison
This document compares a double-page magazine spread the author created for their product to one made by Kerrang!. Both used a mid-shot as the dominant enlarged image taking up half the spread. They also included pull quotes and slugs. The main differences were the color schemes, with the author using black and red instead of Kerrang!'s black and pink, and the author's spread included a sub-image and no puff.
First shoot commentary
The first location filmed was an art studio that was rearranged to look like an office. Props like a computer and office supplies were used, and lighting was set up with display lights and an LED screen light. The second location was at Sharpness Docks by the river, where a long tracking shot was done with a flycam stabilizer. Audio issues arose from picking up distant industrial drilling. The final shots were in an empty car park, with handheld shots inside the car and a low camera angle on the floor to quickly film the scene as daylight ended.
Further editing
1) The document discusses editing techniques used in a 2-minute title sequence for a thriller film. Ellipsis and continuity editing were used to omit unnecessary elements and create a continuous flow between shots.
2) Shots were sped up to add urgency and pace, and fades were used between location changes. Black screens with diegetic sounds were inserted to let the audience use their imagination.
3) Match cuts and camera focus techniques were employed to smoothly transition between shots of a van and set up a video camera scene. Thin white titles on black screens were chosen to not distract from the thriller atmosphere.
Adding title graphics media
This document provides instructions for adding title graphics to a movie in 4 steps:
1) Find the clip to add titles to and select the "title" button to access title options.
2) Select "title still" to open the title editor where text, fonts, and positioning can be customized.
3) Edit the title text size and style using the tools on the left side of the editor screen.
4) The finished title graphic will be added to the movie timeline where it can be placed and edited with effects like fading before exporting the final film.
Magazine Development
The document describes the process of developing a magazine cover over three drafts in Photoshop. It outlines the conventions used in the initial sketch based on real magazines. The second draft made alterations to the color scheme, plug, positioning of elements, and base image. The final draft further refined these elements, changing the background to black and orange stripes, reverting the color scheme, adjusting element positioning, and editing the base image contrast.
Common Film Methods
The document outlines four key film methods - camera work, soundtrack, mise-en-scene, and editing - that will be important for a student film group's short film. Camera work such as different shots can develop audience understanding of characters. Editing techniques like montages can improve the film's appearance and dynamics. The soundtrack helps set mood, while mise-en-scene contributes visually and allows the film to seem more believable by displaying typical conventions. These four methods will contribute to the overall quality and success of the group's short film.
Rough cut feedback oli
The document provides feedback on a rough cut of a film. It summarizes that test viewers responded positively to the film's effective use of a mismatch between appearance and reality, its opening silhouette and lighting, and its building of tension. Areas identified for improvement included adding more complex sound design, inserting opening and closing titles/credits, and creating an identifying title screen or "ident."
Poilipi
1) One of the camera shots was ruined when an umbrella dipped into the frame, requiring a title card to be added to hide the change in location. Removing the umbrella caused the lens to get wet, blurring some shots.
2) Originally, title cards between scenes were considered, but interrupting the flow did not fit the style. Text was overlaid on action shots instead to maintain pace.
3) The initial text transition idea involved objects moving over the screen to reveal and remove text, but opportunities for this effect decreased as the opening progressed.
Photoshop construction process
Michael created a magazine mockup in Photoshop titled "Official Magazine". He added pictures from a shared Dropbox folder, increasing the brightness of one photo to use as the main image. He set the background to black and added a masthead inspired by Total Film magazine. Michael included the date, website info, and slogans around the masthead. He added drop shadows to the film title and words like "Exclusive" to make them stand out against the white clothing in the photo. Michael included issue numbers, prices, barcodes and other conventional magazine elements in the kickers section. He cut out additional photos to use as buttons and previewed an imitation movie poster inside the magazine.
Photoshop Construction Process
Michael Ekanem created a poster for a film called "Official Poster" using Photoshop. He selected a main image featuring a ghost to be the dominant element. Through adjusting brightness, contrast, and levels, he darkened the image and added more red and yellow tones. The burn tool was used to add shadows and give the poster a polished, Hollywood style. Yellow and burgundy text was added for the title using the eyedropper tool to match the ghost's color. Production credits and social media information were included at the bottom along with a film rating of R to follow conventions.
Production Company Logo
The document discusses the logo and name chosen for a production company called Paradox Productions. The name was chosen because it is memorable and the meaning of "paradox" relates well to horror films. The logo depicts a vintage camera with the company name inside, representing film. It uses a simple black and white color scheme. The logo was designed in Adobe Fireworks to look like a 3D camera containing the name. An initial swirling logo design was replaced with the camera logo for being more relevant to film production.
New in what ways does your media product use
The media product challenges conventions of typical romantic comedies in several ways. It introduces the female protagonist as a college student in casual clothes studying, rather than focusing on her appearance. It also shows three male characters competing for her attention, rather than the other way around. Most significantly, it uses black actors as the main characters, diverging from the typical white characters seen in most teen romantic comedies and appealing more to the target audience. The character of Chase is also developed as a "Bad Boy" through his dialogue, actions, costume, and ear piercing.
Media evaluation for preliminary task
The document summarizes an induction task that required producing a plan for a 2-minute film involving a character arriving at a door, crossing a room, sitting in a chair, and exchanging dialogue. The student's group chose a dialogue between a mother and son. They storyboarded various camera shots including a panning shot of a character walking to the door, a point-of-view shot from the mother's perspective, and close-ups of characters' faces. The student then edited the film together in Final Cut, applying effects and arranging shots on the timeline.
Question 7 media evaluation
The document discusses what was learned from the preliminary task to the full media project. Planning for the full project was challenging due to issues casting actors and securing costumes. During filming, background noise was loud since actors had to be replaced. In post-production, the author learned to use Final Motion to create titles but found Final Cut editing would be better done by another. The preliminary task provided experience operating cameras but not the extensive planning required for the larger project.

Presentation 4
The document discusses the effectiveness of combining a horror film product with supporting materials like a trailer, poster, and magazine cover. The creator wanted the ancillary texts to have a similar horror genre style. For the poster and magazine cover, the main character is shown in the center to be the focus, with the poster using a black background to create intrigue around where the character is being dragged. An important scene from the trailer of the protagonist being dragged is then used cohesively in both the poster and magazine cover.
question 1 media evaluation
The media product challenges conventions of typical romantic comedies in three ways: 1) The female protagonist is portrayed casually without trying to look sexy, going against the convention of using beauty/sex appeal to attract male characters. 2) The roles are reversed, with multiple male characters competing for the female protagonist's attention rather than females fighting over the male lead. 3) The "bad boy" character labeled as such does not follow the typical bad boy convention of having visible tattoos or piercings.
Evaluation question 2
The document discusses feedback received on a trailer uploaded to YouTube and Facebook. Viewers commented that the sound quality could be improved and more sound effects added to increase suspense on YouTube. Feedback on Facebook also suggested faster edits and more transitions. The creator learned they should have improved sound quality during editing, used faster edits for sound effects, and included more transitions and faster text for a more effective trailer.
Question 7 media evaluation draft
The author learned several lessons from completing a full media project compared to an earlier preliminary task. For the full project, they struggled with actor casting and securing costumes due to last-minute changes, and dealt with loud background noise and faulty audio equipment during filming. The author also learned how to use Final Cut and Final Motion software, though editing in Final Cut proved challenging. Overall, the preliminary task did not require as much planning as the full media project and the author was surprised by all the planning and detail needed for the larger task.

Evaluation question 1
The poster uses conventions from the film "The Eye" such as a blue tinge and positioning of title and tagline. It develops these conventions by adding a wooden window frame around the image. The poster challenges "The Eye" by using red font instead of black and white and adding a background of trees.
The magazine uses conventions from Total Film such as masthead positioning and featuring one main character. It develops the banner and masthead writing. The magazine challenges Total Film by using darker lighting and unique story tabs overlapping the image.
The trailer uses conventions from films like Prom Night such as establishing shots and prop use. It develops conventions from One Hour Photo by zooming out from a photo to a picture wall.
Evaluation 1
The document discusses how the media product, a horror movie trailer, both conforms to and challenges conventions of the genre. It follows conventions like using a mix of dark and light scenes to convey mood, fast cuts to show action, and displaying the production label and release date. However, it challenges conventions by focusing on the story of the killer rather than victims, and portraying the killer in a vulnerable way to elicit sympathy from viewers, aspects not commonly seen in horror trailers.
Question 1
This document discusses conventions used in real media thriller products and how the student applied some of the same conventions in their own media product. It provides examples of conventions like dark clothing, jump cuts, juxtaposed lighting, and tension building music. It then explains how the student incorporated conventions like fast pacing, crime, and hyper-real sound in their project. Some conventions like dark clothing and jump cuts were applied stereotypically, but others like juxtaposed lighting and hyper-real sound were used in non-stereotypical ways to challenge conventions. Overall, most conventions were applied in a way that conformed to real media products while some experimented with non-traditional uses.
A2 media evaluation
The document summarizes a student's media evaluation project. The student created a film poster, DVD cover, and film trailer for a horror film that drew upon conventions of the genre but also challenged conventions.

Various software, hardware, and online tools were used to research, create, and present the film project.
Q1
The document discusses conventions used in thriller trailers and film posters and how the media producer applied them in their own thriller trailer and poster. Key points:
- The producer analyzed existing thriller and action trailers to identify conventions like ambiguous plots, dull lighting, ordinary costumes.
- In their trailer, they applied conventions like an ambiguous plot shown through a montage, mixture of lighting, and realistic characters/costumes.
- They also analyzed existing film posters to identify conventions like font sizes, image placement, and color schemes.
- The producer then applied conventions like sizing, placement of title/image/text, and using red/black/white in their own thriller poster.
Creative critical reflection
Maaz Tabrez created a suspense film for a class project. They followed conventions of the genre like using low key lighting and non-diegetic sound to create suspense. The film addresses the social issue of kidnapping and violence. If distributed commercially, Maaz would partner with Warner Bros due to their success in the suspense genre. Through the project, Maaz developed skills like camera angles, lighting techniques, editing, and integrating technologies like movie making software, online sound effects, and creating a blog to share their work.
Thrilller poster final
The document describes the steps taken to create a film poster. It began with inserting a photo and removing the background.

Overall, it borrows layouts and techniques from real media but also develops and challenges conventions with its own creative adaptations.
Evaluation question one
This document summarizes how a media product incorporates conventions of real thriller films. It discusses using black and white stills, a mini montage spelling "murder" using fast cuts to build tension, low key lighting and shadows, a non-diegetic backing track to build tension, and constantly changing camera angles. While successful in including these thriller conventions, ambient sound could have further improved the atmosphere and realism.
6. production reflection
The document describes the filmmaker's process for creating a production reflection video. Some of the techniques used include adding blur transitions to create emotion, switching angles to draw in the audience, inserting social media icons and sound effects, splitting the screen, slowing and speeding clips, adding text with statistics, using a black screen for drama, close-ups with enhanced audio, and overlaying images to look like increasing social media likes. Overall, the filmmaker felt these techniques helped create suspension, drama, and intensity while keeping the audience engaged.
Ancillarys[1]
This document summarizes the creation of a movie poster and magazine that were inspired by existing works. Specifically:
1) The poster was a hybrid of "Contraband" and "The Departed", incorporating elements of their designs and themes to create something new that would stand out and provide clues about the narrative.
2) The magazine was inspired by the layouts of "Empire" and "Film" magazines, using similar conventions like a prominent central image and film strips to showcase clips and draw connections to the trailer's themes.
3) Templates were created of the source works to plan elements like box placement before designing the new poster and magazine.
In what ways does your media product use
The document discusses conventions used in film trailers for psychological thriller genres. It notes that these trailers typically do not reveal the protagonist's identity, show an initial sense of normalcy or reality that is disrupted, use low lighting to create an obscure atmosphere, include quick edits to build suspense, and feature claustrophobic spaces. The document describes how the creator of a short film trailer incorporated these conventions from analyzing the trailer for "Silent House" and other psychological thriller trailers. References to professional film magazines and posters were also used to guide the design of promotional materials for the short film.
A2 Media Pitch
The document provides details about Michael McKitterick's media project proposal to create a promotional package for a new horror film, including a teaser trailer, film magazine cover, and movie poster. He chose this brief because he is interested in creating a film trailer and has no prior experience doing so. He will target the package toward young adult and adult audiences. The film will be distributed by Lionsgate Films. He provides inspiration from existing horror trailers, posters, and magazines and includes initial designs for the poster and magazine cover.
media
The document discusses the various media technologies used at different stages of creating a teaser trailer for a horror film.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
