Magazine Cover and Film Poster Shoot - Same Differences
The document summarizes efforts to reshoot promotional materials for a film project. The original shoot during filming only captured basic pictures with poor lighting. To improve quality, the crew set up three-point lighting and used a DSLR camera on a tripod. They took a variety of shots, such as full body, laughing, and low angles. The reshoot was successful in providing higher quality, more professional-looking photos with better variety to distinguish the magazine cover from film poster. The new photos will enhance the persuasiveness of the marketing campaign.

- Their production company ident was simplified to a bold, recognizable silhouette shown for 3 seconds, adhering to the brief ident duration in teaser trailers. But they included more color than typical black idents.
- Shots, props, settings and other elements were incorporated from real teaser

Media evaluation
In what ways does your media product use, develop and challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Question 1 of Evaluation
The document discusses how the media product aimed to be as professional as possible by sticking to the typical forms and conventions of real documentaries. This included framing interviews using the rule of thirds, including name tags for first-time interviewees, considering mise-en-scene in relation to interview topics, including a voiceover to explain what is shown, and adding an opening sequence to introduce the documentary's topics before the title sequence. The print advertisement was also designed to resemble typical Channel 4 documentary advertisements.
Evaluation question 1
The poster uses conventions from the film "The Eye" including a blue tinge and positioning of title and tagline. It develops these conventions further by adding a wooden window frame around the image. It challenges conventions from "The Eye" through using red font for synergy, and a background of trees instead of black and white.
The magazine uses positioning of masthead, main character, and main story similarly to Total Film magazine. It develops the magazine further by adding writing to the masthead and a banner. It challenges conventions through darker lighting suited for a horror film and custom story tabs that stand out more.
Music video evaluation
This document summarizes an evaluation of a production process for a music video. It includes strengths and weaknesses in the areas of research, planning, and time management. Feedback from peers praised the color scheme, performance, and pacing but suggested adding more variety in scene transitions and lighting to make details more visible. The creator agreed lighting could be improved but disagreed that more locations were needed.
Media evaluation
The document provides details about a student media project including a film called "Jade's Bridge", a film poster, and a film review magazine article. The student aimed to produce work fitting the British realistic drama genre. Footage was captured using camcorders and microphones, and editing software was used.

The poster and review were created in Photoshop and Publisher respectively following industry conventions for layout, fonts, and inclusion of required information. Audience feedback helped improve the professionalism of the works.
Evaluation Q7
This document summarizes the key skills developed throughout a film production process. It discusses how drafting allows for proper planning and preparation. Editing is important for establishing mood and pace through an understanding of genre conventions. Sound design was improved in the final project through use of a radio-like voiceover recorded in Audacity rather than the camera's built-in microphone. Framing, lighting, editing, color correction, and camerawork all evolved between the preliminary project and final project to create a more polished end product. The document reflects on what was learned, including using editing software like Final Cut Pro and improving techniques like cutting on action.
Question 2
This document discusses the author's main film project and two ancillary tasks - a magazine review and film poster.
The author aimed to relate all three products to the horror/thriller genre of the film through similar dark color schemes and themes. This was easiest for the film poster which had a dark theme. The magazine review was harder to match fully due to layout constraints.
Overall, the author believes the products work together promotionally through their physical similarities despite minor differences like font styles between the poster and film. The dark color scheme successfully conveys the intended genre.

Film openings
The document discusses key elements that are commonly included in film openings. It notes that Mean Girls begins with narration from the main character Cady Heron to introduce her background. It also contrasts Cady's new school with her life in Africa to set the scene. The opening credits then provide information about the filmmakers and production details, followed by the bold and clear film title with accompanying music to give viewers a sense of the film.
Recce
A recce is a pre-filming visit to potential locations to assess their suitability for shooting. The document describes recces conducted at a green screen room and an underpass. The green screen room would be suitable for shooting the magazine's front cover due to good lighting that can be adjusted and the room suiting the magazine's theme. The underpass would also be suitable, providing an urban setting that matches the magazine's theme and allowing pictures to be taken for the double page spread and content page, ideally in cloudy afternoon weather.
Prop notes
The document discusses props for a film called Child's Play about a battle. It proposes using light sabers because they bring action and are suitable for a battle-themed children's film. It also suggests Nerf guns to add more comedic action, as the film revolves around the idea of war and battle in a childish way.

Fantastic Mr. Fox is an animated film directed by Wes Anderson based on the Roald Dahl book. It uses stop-motion animation which took two years to produce and one day to film each scene. The film was distributed by 20th Century Fox and produced by several film companies with a budget of $40 million, turning a small $6.4 million profit. While not hugely profitable, the film received positive reviews for its animation and voice acting.
In what ways does your media product use question 1

EVALUATION: Question 4
The document discusses the use of new media technologies in the construction, research, planning, and evaluation stages of a music video project. During construction, the group used a Canon DSLR camera to film and a tripod, edited footage using Final Cut Pro, and designed packaging using Photoshop. Online research utilized Google, YouTube, Twitter, and SoundCloud. Planning involved creating presentations in PowerPoint and Prezi.

A2 evaluation final
The document discusses the use of conventions and experimentation in creating a film poster, magazine cover, and trailer. For the poster, a conventional layout with central image and title is used. The magazine cover also follows conventions but positions the main image to the right. The trailer uses horror film conventions like fades but also experiments with darker scenes. In summary, conventions are mostly followed for familiarity but also developed in places like unconventional image positioning or lack of voiceover in the trailer.

In this document, the author discusses how their media products for a class project used, developed, and challenged conventions of real media. For their short film "The Ordinary," they used conventions like minimal backstory and letting camerawork tell the narrative. They developed conventions by using editing to express emotions and having multiple settings, while challenging conventions like using different soundtracks for each setting. Their poster and film review page also followed conventions for those genres like simplistic designs and consistent layouts, while adding some original elements.

Before filming, the filmmaker created a risk assessment, permission forms, and storyboards to plan their shoot. On the day of filming, they shot various locations like the fire station, winter gardens, and bridges using different shot sizes and angles. During editing, they added music, text, and cut clips to the beat to engage their target audience. Some issues like overexposed footage were easily fixed. The final promotional video was created to advertise Sunderland locations to 16-21 year olds.
Development of film poster media - year 13
The document outlines the 13 steps taken to develop a film poster, including selecting a suitable photo, cutting out the background, changing it to black and white, pasting additional photos, adding the film name and cast names, including a silhouette important to the film's synopsis, adding social media logos, including billing blocks with production details, adding a tag line to entice audiences, and including acclaim and awards to garner interest from niche audiences.
A2 media evaluation
The document summarizes a student's media evaluation project. The student created a film poster, DVD cover, and film trailer for a horror film that drew upon conventions of the genre but also challenged conventions. Feedback from questionnaires indicated that the products fit the horror genre but could be improved by adding music to the trailer and better connecting clips. The student used various software and researched real media products to develop their own products for the project.

- 2. Conventions of posters One specific convention I applied to my Film poster was the triangle shaped layout. A professional poster My poster
- 3. I also used a quote and a star rating which is a typical convention of film poster. This effect will entice the reader to want to watch your film.
- 4. The credit block is also a crucial convention of film posters. Not only does it give a look of professionalism, it gives the reader information who may be starring in the film or what production company is producing it.
- 5. AUDIENCE FEEDBACK OF POSTER My audience feedback specifically commented that my poster looked professional, this is because I followed the main conventions of a film poster and it was successful.
- 6. Conventions of film • I used similar shot types to previous documentary style films. Keeping within the same guidelines will make it more authentic. Channel fours documentary My short film. However, I also decided to DEVELOP this, by using direct mode of address. As this would catch the viewers attention.
- 7. Film challenged and developed • The setting is usually identified however my locations were all the same so I decided to input the names and ages of the twins instead. I decided I wanted the text to stand out better so I placed in the middle throughout all of them to keep a theme throughout. Channel four documentary My short film
- 8. FILM: DEVELOPING titles I decided I wanted to incorporate the title better than the ‘twincredibes’ did. So I kept the house style theme of having the title edited into the beginning of the film. This is more conventional of short films. My short film Channel four
- 9. DEVELOPING: LOCATION SHOTS Because my film was shot in the same location, I decided to incorporate all of the location shots in the beginning of the film. Rather than have them before the interviews as the channel four documentary did. Channel four location shots My location shots
- 10. MAGAZINE REVIEW PAGE: DEVELOPING: Title of the film – Mine was bigger as it stands out better. USING: Information About the film Eg. Producer, I used bold to make it clearer. Similar column layout, conventional of magazine review pages.
