The document discusses how the filmmakers incorporated elements from real media products into their film trailer. They filmed in the same location used in the TV series "Misfits". They also used similar lighting, camera shots, and scenes to convey character personalities as other films in their genre. The trailer's location shots and use of "based on a true story" were meant to make the setting feel familiar and draw in audiences, just as was done in the TV drama "My Murder". While challenging some conventions by using an all-female cast, the trailer overall shares more similarities in its stylistic elements to other real media products than differences.

1. Trailer FILM

2. In regards to our film, it is unmistakeable that we used a lot of real media
products that relate to our film. The location of our film is the same as the
location of many films that are associated with 0ur genre. We filmed in
Thamesmead in the same flats that they film the TV drama series ‘Misfits’.

3. Lighting
In regards to our film, it is
unmistakeable that we used a lot
of real media products that
relate to our film. The location of
our film is the same as the
location of many films that are
associated with 0ur genre. We
filmed in Thamesmead in the
same flats that they film the TV
drama series ‘Misfits’. This
setting was very suited to our
film.
There is also something that is
very common in these films
which is the lighting, the lighting
that is seen on these films is very
dark and grey and occasionally
the use sepia light.

4. The way that shots are taken and the way the camera is positioned on
certain characters is also something that we used that other films had used
before. This scene of SKET shows the girls and we get to see them and how
their character is. There is a wall dividing them, similar to the way in the film
SKET they are divided into different scenes.

5. From the TV drama my murder we used very familiar scenes as they were
both very similar in what message they were conveying. There were very
similar shots in which we chose to incorporate into our film. The way in
which characters are dressed and their setting is also very similar. A silmilar
shot in our film is this.
In the film my murder the characters have an establishing shot that conveys
they personality, what we did is we put our main character at the front to
show the hierarchy in importance.

6. In the opening of the drama series ‘My Murder’ there is an opening of the film
that says based on a true story, we decided to use this in our film. This allows
viewers to already understand what kind of film this is. The audience would know
straight away and know that our film was to be taken seriously. Many people will
drawn to the trailer because of the fact that it says ‘based on a true story.

7. The location shot is something that is very vital to the film, it shows the rural setting
and where our trailer is based. In the television drama my murder they use an
establishing shot that shows the film whereabouts. We tried to make our setting as
familiar as possible, what we did was go in the night, so that we could get the lights.
This is a real piece that we incorporated into our film.

8. There are also many other similarities in other video's to our own. In the
movie ‘SKET’ they used a company for our film also. We respected that the
company may have copy rights so we sent and email, telling them that this
was not copy right, and asking if we could please borrow their label for our
coursework.

9. PERMISSION

10. In many ways our media product does somehow
challenge the forms of real media products,
because in many of the examples we used, they
had males as there main stars. But we use an all
female casting crew. However, we use more
media products then we challenge, as there are
much more similarities than there are differences.
For examples, the settings and locations of all of
these films have a similarity, they are all set in the
same place, or they are set on rural areas that
look very similar to our setting.
