Our media project used editing software, makeup, costumes, and on-scene effects to develop conventions of real media products. Editing software allowed us to convey emotions through lighting and add effects like gun muzzle flashes. Makeup, costumes, and effects represented "zombie" characters and helped communicate the producer's message. The project could be distributed by movie studios in cinemas or on YouTube to attract audiences interested in horror, thriller, and zombie themes. I learned about using editing and effects software, and the importance of camera angles, effects, and avoiding inappropriate acting moments.

Question 1 for media evaluation pow
Our media trailer uses some common conventions of real trailers such as opening credits, transitions between words to build tension, and slow motion effects to create suspense. However, it also challenges conventions in some ways. It uses sci-fi effects throughout rather than just in some parts. Additionally, it starts with a black and white background instead of a typical news background, and features ordinary-looking characters rather than stereotypical horror characters, to make the trailer seem more realistic and leave viewers questioning.

Our media film is a war film genre that aims to challenge conventions of real war films through realistic visual effects and mise-en-scene. We sought to create realistic explosions and battle scenes through visual effects in After Effects similar to large budget films. We also aimed for realistic mise-en-scene through appropriate costumes in battle and therapy scenes filmed on location. Additionally, our film explores the effects of PTSD on soldiers, which is not a topic often addressed in war films, making our story unique. Through visual effects and an unconventional storyline, we attempted to develop conventions and challenge forms of real war media products.

Our film uses conventions of the thriller genre, including establishing the vulnerability of the young female protagonist. However, it challenges expectations by keeping the antagonist's identity and gender uncertain. This blurring of genres was intended to introduce elements of horror and suspense.

These include using imagery of London's skyline and urban youth fashion to establish authenticity and attract the target urban market. Red coloring and promises of celebrity interviews are used to grab readers' attention and imply industry credibility.

The document discusses a media project the author created called "reLoad" which aims to look like an actual metal music magazine. Some key points:
- The project uses conventions of real metal magazines like pull quotes, page numbers, and copyright notices.
- It targets 15-25 year old males interested in metal music rather than mainstream tastes. Visuals like blood splatters and grunge imagery represent this social group.
- Future Publishing, which publishes major metal magazines, would be well-suited to distribute the project since it already targets that demographic.
- The author learned photography skills in capturing images for the project and improved at narrowing the target demographic compared to a school magazine created previously
George Collins A2 Media Evaluation
This document provides an evaluation of a student media project called "The Breeze" which included a movie trailer, poster, and magazine. It discusses how the project used and developed conventions of real media forms. Audience feedback found the poster to be professional but wanted to know if the movie would be made professionally. The trailer was effective at telling the story rather than just showing off, but the soundtrack went on too long. The magazine held conventions of a real product but was too simple. New media technologies like the internet were used for research, planning, and development of editing skills.

Bradley Merle Foundation Portfolio Evaluation
- 1. Media Evaluation Presentation Bradley Merle
- 2. Ways In which Our Media Product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products Our media project used products like editing software, make-up, costume and on-scene-effects just like real media products use. By using editing software we were able to edit the film to help convey to the audience certain emotions like fear and confusion. Editing software also allowed us to add multiple effects like muzzle flashing from the gun and lighting effects; by changing the lighting we challenge the challenged the standard concept that horror exists only at night and therefore gave the film an outstanding quality that set it apart from the rest. Effects like muzzle flashes from guns are also used in all forms of media from film to internet commercials to add a sense of realism to any form of media. Make-up, costume and on-scene- effects are also used in real media products but were also implemented into our film. We used make-up to help the audience realise that something isn't alright about the people following our main characters, we also used old, torn and damaged looking costumes to show how theses โzombieโ have been like this for some time. All these products are used in media to help back up what ever the producer of the media may want to communicate to his audiance.
- 3. How our Media Product represents particular social Groups Many social groups are represented in our media product. First of all Horror fans and zombie fans alike will feel an instant connection as it is and introduction to a zombie horror film. Survivalist will be interested as well as it raises many issues about what people may be forced to do in certain situations to survive. Even the average person may be interested in the film as it is about normal people placed in an abnormal situation.
- 4. What Media Institution Might distribute our Media Product I think there may be two possible places that our media project could be distributed to, firstly the movie industry and secondly the internet (more specifically YouTube). Being that the project is an introduction to a movie it would be sold as part of a movie to cinemas for people to pay to watch. If we also distributed just the first two minuets to a website like YouTube then it would enable a wider audience to view it and then feel the need to go and see it in their local cinema
- 5. Our Audience for our media product Audiences that are into horror, thriller, zombie apocalyptic themes may be interested in this film. Being that its a Zombie horror film we are aiming at the zombie horror fans for the franchise. But we also feel that every day people and survivalist will like the film as it has relatable main characters and survivalist situations that may attract a wider range of an audience.
- 6. How we Attracted our Audience Our group used certain methods to attract our audience. First of all we started the film straight into the action instantly drawing them in. We swiftly had explained the plot line and began the action, after our research task we realized that this is exactly what our consumers wanted. We also ensured that background and foreground sound was clear to catch anyone's attention passing by the film as its playing.
- 7. What have I learnt about technologies used during the project During my main task I learned many things about how to use editing software and after effects software. I learned about how long, hard and complicated editing is. That sometimes its simple not possible to create the thing you had in your mind mainly due to how complicated it may be to create. Also effect have to be used as little a possible otherwise they look terribly cheesy and unbelievable which can ruin a film.
- 8. What Have I learnt since the new product? I have learnt many things since I began this project. First of all editing needs to take everything in a scene including when an actor smiles or grins inappropriately. It happened in our preliminary which made it seem unprofessional. Always ensure you use as many camera angles as possible, they can help express so much than a line or actor can. For instance when George gets angry an zoom in to his face could have shown this and magnified it a million time, we did use it to show the fear when the zombies walked toward the survivors to show their fear and desperation. I also learnt bout effects and many other things that make a film amazing.
