Evaluation question 2
The document analyzes the effectiveness of a film's main product and ancillary texts in conveying its themes and marketing itself as a psychological thriller. It discusses how the film's radio trailer uses typical elements like music, voiceover, sound effects and dialogue to provide necessary information without revealing too much. It also explains how the film poster draws inspiration from horror genre conventions and other films to reflect the film's intense and thrilling themes. Overall, both the trailer and poster are deemed effective in illustrating the film's messages and marketing it as a psychological thriller.
How can elements of our chosen trailers be incorporated into our own?
1) The document discusses elements to incorporate from analyzed horror movie trailers into a new trailer, including using a found footage style to seem realistic and typical teen characters to appeal broadly.
2) Locations like forests and abandoned buildings that create a creepy atmosphere from films like The Blair Witch Project will be used.
3) The trailer will start with upbeat music and high key lighting to create a false sense of security before shifting to scary music, low key lighting, and fast pacing to emphasize the horror genre and increase tension and adrenaline.
Audience feedback
The document analyzes audience feedback from a questionnaire about a film trailer. Pie charts show that most respondents thought the crime genre was clear, would see the movie, and felt the pacing worked well. The strengths identified were the variety of shots used, suiting music, and use of cliche characters. Weaknesses included simple titles and font, too bright lighting that didn't fit the feel, and black screens being too long. The analysis found the trailer was largely successful at appealing to its target crime movie audience.
Ancillary production poster development
The document discusses the process of selecting and combining still images from a film to create a movie poster. They chose a wide background shot and a close-up foreground shot of the main character. They extracted the boy from his scene and combined him with the cropped background shot in Photoshop. They further edited the combined image by converting it to black and white to create a more sinister tone and added a vignette. Finally, they added the film title and credits in an appropriate horror movie font to complete the poster.
In what ways does your media product use
The documentary employed conventions of real documentaries such as rule of thirds, tripod shots, interviews, and titles to identify speakers. However, it also challenged some conventions by centering a speaker instead of using rule of thirds, handheld shots, and close-ups to make it more artistic. A variety of footage was used including B-roll, concerts, and archives. Elements like mise-en-scene with stage lighting and guitars helped develop the live music theme to resemble professional documentaries.
Are audiences impacted more by sound or visuals in film?
The document discusses the importance of both visuals and sound in films. It explores how silent films relied solely on visual techniques like lighting and camera angles to convey meaning and emotion. Early sound films also used musical scores to heighten the audience experience. While visuals are crucial for storytelling, the document argues that sound is equally important for delivering aspects of the narrative and eliciting emotional responses that visuals alone cannot achieve. It presents examples of how filmmakers strategically employ sounds like music and infrasound to intentionally manipulate audience fear and other feelings. Overall, the document suggests that both visual and auditory elements must be considered in understanding their combined impact on audiences.

Rough Cut 2: Evaluation
1) The title sequence has improved drastically from the previous rough cut through improved color grading, sound layering, and mise-en-scene elements that set the tone and location.
2) While mostly successful, some problems still exist including needing additional sound layering and replacing the temporary title typography that does not suit the genre.
3) In conclusion, adding more sound layers and changing the titles will improve the sequence by making it more impactful for audiences to identify the intended genre.
Rough cut 2Analysis: Credits
The document analyzes rough cuts of a title sequence and credits. It finds that the original credits were poorly done and missing important information. A second attempt introduced new credits but they were hard to read and the font did not fit the film's theme. Special effects were then added but made the text too difficult to read. The conclusion states that more work is needed to improve the credit order and typography.

Evaluation question 2 kieran
The document discusses the effectiveness of a poster and radio trailer created to advertise a romantic film called "Unforgettable" that has a plot twist. The poster visually depicts the main characters looking at each other to convey the romantic story, while hinting at the twist.

Both ancillary texts aim to intrigue audiences and effectively promote the film without revealing too much. Comparisons are made to real movie posters that follow standard conventions.
Media evaluation a2
This document discusses how a media product uses and challenges conventions of real media. It summarizes that the product chose mainstream music for its trailer to parody dance drama and comedy genres. It also discusses pacing clips in the trailer to build suspense. The poster layout shows dancers mid-dance with crowds, using gold/orange colors typically seen in such films. However, the product challenges conventions by using a socially inept "geek" character as the anti-hero, which is uncommon in dance dramas.
Conventions of thrillers and opening sequences
The document discusses various techniques used in opening sequences for thriller films. It describes how the opening used multiple flashbacks in black and white to provide backstory on the antagonist and build tension. An establishing tilt shot oriented the audience to the location. Simple title cards were included to credit the filmmakers without distracting from the narrative. Mysterious, unsettling non-diegetic music set the mood. The antagonist's character was left ambiguous to generate mystery. Low-key black and white cinematography along with the unsettling music and unnerving acting enhanced the thriller genre elements. Audience feedback confirmed the effective use of these techniques in building tension.
Presentation1
Our media product is a film teaser trailer that develops conventions of typical trailers by being 30-60 seconds long and demonstrating the basic plot without giving too much away. It challenges conventions by hiding the identity of the "bad guy" to create mystery and suspense. For our crime-horror trailer and magazine cover, we conformed to generic conventions like using dark colors and imagery involving blood and knives to create intrigue and a horrific atmosphere.
Thriller opening sequence
Flashbacks are used to show key past events and provide background on characters. An establishing shot orients the audience to the location. Simple titles identify the filmmakers without drawing attention from the narrative. Characteristics of a thriller opening include casting a male as the mysterious antagonist whose identity is slowly revealed. Tension-building music and low-key lighting set the ominous tone. The actor portrays an unusual yet serious character, leaving the audience questioning what will happen.
Question 1
The document discusses how the media product drew from conventions of the social realism genre in its film opening. It researched films like Kidulthood, Adulthood, and This Is England to understand conventions around plot, mise-en-scene, editing, camera shots, sound, color, lighting and more. Key influences included long camera shots to set mood, diegetic and non-diegetic sounds, and dull colors and lighting to match the gloomy atmosphere. The goal was to produce a film that fit within the social realism genre and attracted the target audience.
Evaluation Q2
The document discusses the production aims and effectiveness of ancillary texts for a crime/thriller film project. The film aimed to be a socially realist genre film that had seriousness but also charm. The poster aimed to depict the film's themes and genres through altering an image to show a character with two sides to their face. The radio trailer used music and quotes from the film to create juxtaposition and reflect the film's themes. In conclusion, the poster and radio trailer were deemed effective in representing and promoting the film.
Matt jones media evlauation presentation
The document provides an analysis by Matt Jones of the title opening sequence for a horror/thriller media product created by his group. It discusses how the group's opening both uses and challenges conventions of real horror/thriller media products. Specifically, it examines how the group's opening incorporates typical conventions like font style, color palette, use of a female protagonist, and slow build of tension. It also discusses elements that challenge conventions, like the ambiguous nature of the threat and use of diegetic sound. The analysis considers the opening's representation of social groups and how camera work, editing, mise-en-scene, and sound are employed to engage the audience.

It discusses researching similar films, planning and storyboarding the project, how conventions were used to set tone and build suspense, and receiving positive audience feedback while also identifying areas for improvement. The project fulfilled the brief of creating a film opening under three minutes for any genre.
Media evaluation q1 updated
The document discusses how the media products challenge and conform to conventions of their formats and genres.
It summarizes that the magazine cover, poster, and film teaser trailer each followed some conventions of their formats, like including key visual and text elements, while also challenging conventions to make the works stand out.
The teaser trailer challenged conventions by only using diegetic music and not including dialogue. The poster challenged conventions by including a graphic horror image not usually seen on posters.
Overall, the productions balanced following genre and format conventions to seem professional while also challenging conventions to create memorable, unique works.
Evaluation 1
The document discusses conventions for teaser trailers, film posters, and magazine covers. It notes that teaser trailers are typically 60-90 seconds and do not reveal the full story to generate interest. For posters, it discusses how lighting and font styles signal genre. Teaser trailers and posters for crime dramas often use dark, low-key lighting and bold fonts. The document also discusses magazine cover conventions like featuring cast images and including cover lines with additional content information.
Question 1
The document discusses how the media product of a film trailer for "High Stakes" draws from and challenges conventions of real film trailers. It took inspiration from the trailers for "The A-Team," "Limitless," and "The Equalizer" in constructing its trailer. Like traditional trailers, it includes the film title, release date, cast/company information, and has a length of 2-3 minutes. However, it subverts conventions by using two different soundtracks to vary the pace. The trailer, poster, and magazine cover were also created to promote the fictional film.
EVALUATION - Question 1
In what ways does the Promotional package of Depth use, develop or challenge forms & conventions of real media products?
Evaluation - Question 2
The film poster and review effectively promoted the filmmaker's short film called "The Scourge". The poster utilized the horror genre's common color scheme of red, black, and grey. It also featured an still image from the film and the production company's logo to directly link it to the film. The review provided an honest assessment of the film's strengths and weaknesses while also mentioning details about the characters and production company. Both ancillary texts worked to draw in the target 12-21 year old audience and promote the short film. Overall, the main film and ancillary texts were all effectively linked through shared concepts and details to complement each other.
Evaluation simona
The document evaluates the opening sequence of a student film project. It discusses how the sequence uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real film openings. It analyzes the use of settings, genre, characters, and titles. It also discusses developing shots and titles to accommodate credits. The document reflects on representing social groups, attracting target audiences, and technologies learned through constructing the opening, including Final Cut Express and GarageBand.
Evaluation 2
Our main production aimed to create a professional, gritty crime thriller set in an urban environment to entertain audiences. We produced two ancillary texts - a radio trailer and film poster - to promote the film. The poster effectively represented the gritty setting and crime genre through its two-color stencil style and conventional font. The radio trailer portrayed the excitement of the film and provided expectations without spoilers through a conventional voiceover. Both ancillary texts were comparable to real advertising products and contained conventional features to effectively sell the independent film to potential audiences.

Evaluation question 2
- 1. HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE COMBINATION OF YOUR MAIN PRODUCT AND THE ANCILLARY TEXTS? By Owen Chapman
- 2. THE GOAL • Our film aimed to establish itself as a successful example of a psychological thriller film. Throughout it, we reinforce the idea that the film is meant to make the audience feel suspense and tension. The film does this by conveying quite disturbing and traumatic themes and concepts. These themes are typical of a thriller film, therefore this is the reason we included these particular themes, as we felt that we could express these themes in a new, unique way.
- 5. ANALYSIS OF RADIO TRAILER • Our radio trailer has features included, that are typical of other radio trailers. These features include; music, voice over (with details on the film in terms of cast and crew), sound effects and dialogue from the film. This is the usual structure of a radio trailer, as it helps to provide the necessary information to the audience, without revealing to much and therefore becoming enticing. • The music used in a radio trailer helps to convey the tone of the film to the audience, allowing them to infer the genre of the film and then decide whether or not they wish to see the film. • The voice over gives the important information such as the release date, age rating etc. This again gives the audience the decision to see the film or not based on the information they have gathered from the trailer.
- 6. ANCILLARY TEXTS • To reflect our themes into our film poster, we used reviews that described our film as “intense and thrilling.” These descriptions accurately summarise the aims of our film and what we transferred into both our film poster and radio trailer. • Our film poster takes inspiration from early horror Giallo films like ‘Suspiria’ and ‘The Bird with the Crystal Plumage.’ These poster inspired ours for the font style, being ‘serif’ in terms of the graphology of the text. The red is also used to symbolise blood and danger, linking to the typical conventions of the genre I am attempting to convey.
- 7. OTHER ANCILLARY TEXTS • The poster we created also reflects this poster of Nosferatu in the visual aspects. For instance, the poster itself being landscape rather than, like most posters being portrait. The imagery of the poster is also like ours with the character in the centre of the poster. • The religious imagery form our poster is an intertextual reference to this poster with the door, usually being seen in churches due to it’s unique shape.
- 8. CONCLUSION • Our radio trailer and film poster help to advertise the film we have created, as it accurately illustrates the themes and messages of our film, as stated by a sample of our audience who have seen our poster and radio trailer. Therefore the audience can identify what type of film we have made. Both the trailer and poster contribute in marketing our film, that is of the psychological thriller genre, to attract the most amount of viewers as possible.
