The document discusses logo designs called indents for film production companies. It describes several ideas for indents incorporating words, hands, or magnifying glasses before settling on a simple geometric shape to represent the production company. The simple design is chosen because the company has a low budget for its first film and the dark colors used give insight into genres like thrillers and horrors that the company plans to produce.
Evaluation Activity 3
A distributor would be the type of institution that would distribute our media product. A distributor handles marketing, promotion, and distribution of films. They pick release dates, exhibition methods, and ensure the film is distributed to theaters and home release (DVD, Blu-ray, digital). An example of a UK distributor is Lionsgate. Our low-budget film would be released straight to DVD/Blu-ray to save money, similar to the 2012 film "One in the Chamber".
A2 Media evaluation Q1
Our media products use conventions of real media to seem authentic. For our magazine cover, we used an existing title, included publication details as real magazines do, and featured the film prominently. Our poster includes the film title, an evocative image, critic ratings, and information to generate interest. Our trailer uses logos and ratings screens from Lionsgate, a producer of horror films. We selected suspenseful ambient music found online to set an eerie tone, developing conventions of real trailers. However, we did not strongly challenge conventions, aiming to seem realistic and professional by following real media examples closely.

- Film idents usually appear at the very beginning of a trailer as one of the first things viewers see. Distribution companies that add their ident are responsible for marketing the film and providing financing.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
A distributor makes copies of the finished film, shows it to theater buyers to negotiate leases, and sends prints to theaters for public viewing. The document discusses choosing Paramount Pictures as the distributor because it is a large, respected studio that can negotiate many leases, resulting in higher profits. Paramount has distributed different genres before, so it would be suitable and interested in distributing the film.
Covnentions
The document defines posters and advertisements, noting that posters use still images to give audiences a sense of a product, while advertisements use clips from films. Posters typically include the title, images of celebrities and characters, and credits for the film studio to promote the movie. Successful posters follow conventions like featuring the main title, some advertising text, and a central image that conveys the theme or setting of the film.
Evaluation question 3 media
The document discusses options for distributing a student film project called "Imperial Productions". It suggests that a small UK production company could be used to keep costs down since the film comes from an unknown studio. It also notes that film festivals are an opportunity to find investors and get distribution deals. The document considers how similar films have been distributed and whether this film could be released by a major studio or as a TV film.
Production and Distribution Company
The filmmakers created their own production company called "Studios" and distribution company called "Stomp Out Camp" for their low-budget independent film, rather than using well-known major studios, to make the opening more realistically match their limited budget. They chose smaller independent companies similar to their own film to distribute it through social media promotion rather than widespread campaigns used for bigger blockbusters.

Changes to trailer
The document discusses changes needed to improve a movie trailer, including adding institutional information in the credits. After examining credits on sample trailers, the author decides the first example resembles their movie poster credits. However, when trying to open the trailer file to make edits, the same locking issue reoccurs, preventing changes from being saved. The author creates a text-only version instead to demonstrate how the improved trailer would appear.
Making changes to film poster
I made changes to my film poster by deleting the old indent, inserting a new indent, copying and pasting it onto the poster, cropping the excess background around the indent using the crop tool, reducing the size of the indent so it fit properly, and exporting the final poster as a JPEG file.
Changes to film poster after more feedback
The document describes using various tools in word and drawplus to crop an indent image, enlarge a line, change its color to black, copy and paste the line to cover the edges of the indent, and export the final image as a jpeg file.
Changes after feedback trailer
The document describes changes made to a film trailer project. Issues arose from using different software and computers at home vs. at school. Fonts, sounds, and other files were not consistent between locations. The student tried various solutions like adding files to a USB drive, but ran into other problems like file locking. In the end, the student changed the font as needed at school and exported the updated trailer to their blog.
BBFC -15
This document discusses the BBFC 15 film classification in the UK. A 15 rating allows for strong violence, frequent strong language, portrayals of sexual activity, and brief scenes of sexual violence. Discriminatory language is permitted as long as it is not endorsed by the film. Drug use can be shown but not in an encouraging way. The document also explains why the filmmaker chose a 15 rating over 12 or 12A, as those restrict disturbing or imitable content, and a 15 rating gives more scope to explore the disturbing nature of schizophrenia for a psychological thriller.

The document discusses the author's use of various media technologies during their project. They learned to use Slideshare to upload documents like word files and powerpoints to their blog. They also learned how to use Serif Draw Plus X5 and Serif Photoplus X5 graphic design software to create images and learn key tools. Specifically, they used these programs to create a film poster and magazine cover for their project. They also screened portions of their video trailer and imported them into other programs. Sound Jay was a useful site for downloading copyright-free music, particularly thriller sound effects, for their video trailer.

The document discusses the author's use of various media technologies in their construction, research, planning and evaluation stages. They learned how to use Slideshare to upload documents like word files and powerpoints to their blog. They also learned how to use Serif Draw Plus X5 and Serif Photoplus X5 software to edit images, change colors and transparency, add shapes and text. This allowed them to create materials like a film poster and magazine cover for their project. They also screened video clips and exported images from the software to include in assignments. The author explored different sites to find copyright free music and sound effects suitable for their thriller genre trailer.
Question 1 evaluation
The media product uses, develops, and challenges some forms and conventions of real media products. It develops conventions through its use of close-ups, scary settings, low-key lighting, and color usage, which advance themes and genres similarly used in films like Side Effects and The Woman in Black. However, it also challenges conventions through its disjointed magazine cover comprising multiple images rather than a single one, mirroring the plot's themes of schizophrenia. While most elements develop real conventions, the intent is to thoughtfully challenge expectations.
Examples of box office sales
Side Effects had lower domestic box office sales than The Sixth Sense because Bruce Willis is a well-known international actor from films like Pulp Fiction and Armageddon. People who saw him in the trailer for Side Effects may have been more likely to see the film assuming it would be good based on Willis' past roles in successful movies.
Magazine cover stuff.
The document discusses photos taken of a model named Dom to represent schizophrenia for a film poster or magazine cover. Several photos were deemed inappropriate for different reasons, such as only showing part of the face, being out of focus, or including too much of the face. The selected photos for the magazine cover include one of Dom screaming to express the emotion of the character and another that will be halved and used on both sides of the screaming photo. Inspiration was drawn from online videos about schizophrenia and a play about using color effectively.
Ideas - media
The document discusses choosing to create a trailer about schizophrenia because it was a topic frequently in the news at that time. The author wanted to increase understanding of schizophrenia beyond just hearing voices, as reporters sometimes lacked knowledge and took an attacking approach to stories on mental illness. By focusing the trailer on schizophrenia, the author aimed to provide more information on the condition and reduce stigma.
Changes after feedback - magazine cover
The document describes changes made to a magazine cover based on feedback. Specifically:
- The number of colors used was reduced from 5 to 4 (black, white, yellow, red) to make the cover less busy.
- The banner color was changed to a darker gray and text was moved into the banner.
- A spelling error of "peek" was corrected.
- Font styles were standardized across text elements on the cover.
- Images in the banner were spaced more evenly.
- The original barcode was replaced with a more professional-looking one from the internet.
Changes after feedback - film poster
The document summarizes changes made to a film poster based on feedback. The key changes included standardizing the title font to "Colonial Light SF" for consistency, adding a black border around the trailer insert to better blend it into the poster, reducing the size of the credit block, changing the tagline font to "Verdict SF", adding a BBFC 15 rating, and centering the release date. These edits improved the visual cohesion and completeness of information on the film poster.
Film title choice
The filmmaker chose the title "Why?" because they feel it is thought provoking and will encourage people to watch the film. They selected this title as it highlights the theme of mental illness and provides insight into the plot for viewers. The title is short yet grabs attention and hints at the subject matter that will be explored.
Side effects analysis
The video analyzes the use of color, lighting, sound, and mise-en-scene in the movie trailer for Side Effects. It notes that the initial calm and natural colors establish a sense of well-being for the characters, while later greys and oranges imply a change in their situation. Sound starts peaceful but becomes tense, with diegetic dialogue revealing an emergency and cry for help. Shots of the protagonist and a prominent male character show the effects on them. The increasing sounds of urgency and a beeping noise build tension, intriguing viewers about the plot and characters.

Newsletter blog!
The newsletter discusses potential filming locations and issues for a trailer. It describes choosing a school location that is familiar and does not require permission. A graveyard is also selected that can be filmed without permission. The document indicates calling a priest to find an appropriate time to film at a church when other events are not scheduled. Potential issues mentioned are filming on a school day without planned evening events, a funeral occurring on the planned graveyard filming day, and planned religious ceremonies at the church.
Media technologies
The document discusses the author's use of various media technologies in their construction and research, planning, and evaluation stages. The author learned how to upload documents like word documents and powerpoints onto their blog using Slideshare. They also learned how to use Serif Draw Plus X5 and Serif Photoplus X5 software to edit images, create a film poster and magazine cover, and export images as JPEGs to incorporate into other projects. Learning these software tools helped streamline the creative process.
Film poster print screens.
The document describes the process of editing multiple images to create sections of a character's face, representing different personalities, to be pieced together into a film poster. The editor adjusted brightness, contrast, and colorization of each image section. When satisfied with the edits, the images were arranged on a page in Serif Draw and additional text elements like credits and a title were added. Minor further edits were then made before exporting the completed poster.

Indent info
- 1. An Indent is a logo which is used to promote a film production company. Some Indents link to the genre of the majority of films released by the film company such as Disney and some of the titles link to the image. Here are a few from well known film production companies:
- 2. Here are a few of my indent ideas: First Idea: I wanted to incorporate the two words. This incorporation idea is used by several film production companies, such as: Universal. Who incorporate the title into the image. I was trying to think of things that were associated with fingerprints such as hands. I started to think along the forensic route. And when there is an inspection, magnifying glasses are usually used to help with finding clues.
- 3. The indent I have chosen to do: I have decided to do this indent because it is simple and I think it will make my film production company stand out because this is an usual chose of shape and very simplistic compared to other film companies. The other reason as to why I chose to do a simple indent is because if I were realising my first film then it would be of a low budget like my trailer, and therefore I wouldn’t have the funds and network that big film production companies have in order to create a high standard indent.
- 4. My indent: Cut into three different sections. Creates a unique shape. Simple colour uses. Thought I’d go for darker colours as my film production company would be one that concentrates on the making of thrillers and horrors. These colours therefore give the viewer an insight into the production company in the same way as Walt Disney pictures. Animated image which is an effect often used in Disney films.
