Most advertisements follow certain conventions: they include a picture filling the background, a slogan, and a logo to help audiences identify the advertiser. Advertisements also aim to create continuity across multiple ads by keeping the same style of photography, font, and visual elements. Sometimes images are manipulated or seek to educate rather than promote a product directly. Ads may also contain just text or make use of intertextuality by borrowing elements from other media texts, sometimes for humor or irony.

They will then evaluate their work in relation to media studies concepts.

The document provides guidance on how to write an analytical essay comparing the impact and effectiveness of two promotional methods used to market a film. The summary should be:
The essay should introduce film genre, marketing, and cross-platform campaigns. The body should analyze a film poster campaign in detail, focusing on imagery, taglines, and targeting audiences over time. It should also analyze a film trailer by discussing its construction, shots, sound, and how it engages audiences. The conclusion should review how effectively the coordinated campaign promoted the film and interested audiences.
A storyboard is used to visually plan out an animation or film shot by shot like a comic book. It shows what characters are doing and saying, how much time has passed between scenes, and the camera angles. Creating a storyboard allows you to work out any issues before production and get feedback on your ideas. An example storyboard by Saul Bass for Psycho is analyzed to understand the feelings it conveys and camera techniques used. The document concludes by instructing the reader to design a storyboard for a film poster that would be part of a cross-platform campaign, following trailer conventions.
Film genre involves categorizing films based on recognizable conventions. Producers and distributors use genre to minimize economic risk and promote films. Audiences use genre to have predictable experiences and develop expectations. A genre film contains conventions of that genre but also innovates or subverts conventions to avoid being formulaic. Generic conventions typically involve recurring elements like setting, visual style, themes, characters, and narratives.
