A2 Media evaluation Q1
Our media products, including a magazine cover, movie poster, and trailer, use conventions from real examples to look realistic and professional. For the magazine cover, we included elements like the publication title, date/price, website, main article, and other common design features. Our movie poster similarly featured elements like the main image, title, ratings, tagline, and release information. For the trailer, we incorporated a studio logo, rating screen, and suspenseful ambient music to match real trailers. While aiming to emulate real examples, one way our magazine cover may challenge conventions is through its use of a bright backdrop for the horror-themed content.
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.
Addressing our audience
The document discusses how filmmakers can attract audiences by meeting their generic pleasures or drivers of watching films, as identified by Pete Buckingham. Buckingham's hypothesis notes key drivers that attract audiences, such as preferred genres, actors, hype/excitement, and narrative hooks. It also identifies barriers that put audiences off. The document then analyzes how the opening title sequence of a student film attempts to meet these drivers, through including elements of thriller genres alongside the required noir genre, borrowing from similar crime shows, and using an enigmatic narrative hook with an unexpected twist at the end.
Graph
The document discusses feedback received from an audience on a film trailer created by the author's group. The feedback indicates the trailer was typical of the genre in its use of quick shots, jump cuts and pacing to engage viewers while leaving some mystery. However, some elements like the snow scenes were seen as more creative. Most feedback was positive and indicated the trailer accomplished what it aimed to do in making viewers want to learn more. There was some criticism around special effects and a suggestion of including a fight scene.
Question 3 Evaluation
The filmmakers gathered feedback on their rough cut teaser trailer from their target audience. Based on this feedback, they made improvements to the music, pacing, and clarity of the plot in the teaser trailer. Later feedback on the nearly completed teaser trailer, poster, and magazine cover highlighted strengths like branding and areas to shorten the teaser trailer. The filmmakers used this feedback to further refine their projects.
Question 1
Our short film follows typical conventions of the genre by being under five minutes, having only two main characters, and a low budget with minimal special effects. It was distributed online, like most short films. The film poster resembles typical Hollywood posters by featuring the main characters and tagline. Key details like the cast and release date are included. While the poster challenges some conventions by using lowercase names and omitting credits, it adheres to a color scheme and features the mise-en-scene from the film. The review lays out information in a format similar to other publications and rates the film, including typical elements such as cast, director, and release date.

Pitch Presentation of Promotional Package
Three boys are kidnapped and placed in a forest where they must escape and find treasure. They learn they are participants in a TV show where people bet on who will escape first. One boy tries to turn the others against each other so he can find the treasure alone.
The filmmakers will emphasize the three main character across marketing materials like the poster, teaser trailer, and magazine cover to build a consistent brand. The materials will feature the same iconic logo and colors associated with action and adventure genres to identify the project.
Evaluation question 2
This document discusses the promotion plan for a new crime film. It will utilize traditional advertising methods like posters, TV ads, and trailers as well as social media on platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The target audience is 15-35 year old fans of crime and action films. To generate buzz, the film poster will feature simple outlines of characters rather than photos, creating mystery. A magazine will later reveal who the characters are without spoiling the film. The film will be released on Valentine's Day to target couples seeking an alternative to romantic films. Total Film magazine was selected to promote the film due to its mainstream readers matching the target demographic. The BFI London Film Festival will also be used to market to film enthusiasts.
Evaluation question 3
The film industry spends time and money test screening films to get audience feedback before wide release. They invite diverse audiences to screenings to understand how different people react and what they think of the film. This helps the studios identify what works and doesn't work to improve the film. It also helps determine the target audience. The document then discusses how the class created a teaser trailer, poster, and magazine cover for a film project. They got feedback from other students to identify strengths and weaknesses and see how to enhance their marketing materials. Based on this feedback, they rearranged shots in the teaser trailer to build more tension. They also made minor adjustments to the poster and magazine cover design to improve professionalism.
Q1- Amad evaluation
My media product challenges conventions of real sports films through its use of logos, titles, costumes, lighting, props, and locations. It uses two simple institutional logos at the beginning like Rocky Balboa and Cinderella Man. The titles are in white and bold, fading in and out like in Rocky Balboa. The protagonist's clothing of a hoodie and shorts signifies he is an athlete, as seen in films like Rocky and The Fighter. Spotlighting the protagonist foreshadows he will be in the spotlight due to his hard work. Props of tape on his hands identify he is a boxer, and the outdoor gym location establishes him as a hardworking athlete.
Evaluation 2
Our main production aimed to create a professional, gritty crime thriller set in an urban environment to entertain audiences. We produced two ancillary texts - a radio trailer and film poster - to promote the film. The poster effectively represented the gritty setting and crime genre through its two-color stencil style and conventional font. The radio trailer portrayed the excitement of the film and provided expectations without spoilers through a conventional voiceover. Both ancillary texts were comparable to real advertising products and contained conventional features to effectively sell the independent film to potential audiences.
Magazine Review
The document provides guidance on how to write a film review, including what information should be included. It recommends mentioning the cast, director, editor, producer, and screenwriter. It also suggests including comments from directors and screenwriters to explain the story. The review should provide a short summary of the film's plot, who is in it, and who directed it. Criticisms of the film may also be included along with its strengths. Reviews typically end with a rating of the film.
Evaluation - Question 1
In what ways does the Promotional package of Depth use, develop or challenge forms & conventions of real media products?
Evaluation Question 3
Filmmakers screen films to test audience reactions before wide release. Screenings allow filmmakers to gather feedback from questionnaires to understand how the target audience responds and how the film could be improved. For their film project, the students screened multiple works in progress - a pitch, rough cut, magazine cover, and poster - to classmates. They used feedback to refine the tagline, develop characters, improve visuals and sound, and ensure their materials followed genre conventions. Screening works helped the students strengthen their film to better appeal to their target teenage audience.

Film review analysis
The document discusses various film magazines and reviews. It notes that while there are a few general film magazines, there are no specific magazines for short films. However, some film festivals produce brochure-like magazines. Animation magazine would be suitable to promote an animated short film as it targets the right audience. Reviews of independent short films would be in magazines from film festivals. The document analyzes conventions of film reviews in magazines, providing examples from Heat, Empire, Odeon, and Live magazines. It finds an example of an article about the animation process in Animation magazine, praising its unusual layout and use of images.
Question 3
This document discusses a low-budget British student film. It was made with a small group of British teenagers as the main characters, without expensive Hollywood-style special effects or weapons. The film focuses on the relationships within a small, rural community and could suggest that small towns in Britain can be dangerous. Due to the very low budget, it is unrealistic for major studios to distribute the film, but it could potentially be shown in local cinemas or uploaded to YouTube to reach niche audiences. The only controversial element is that the main antagonist is mentally unstable.

This document discusses how media texts attract different audiences. It provides examples of factors to consider in analyzing a text's audience appeal, such as trailers, target demographics, adherence to genre expectations, dramatic elements, visual style, and stars/directors. It also notes that a film was a major success due to its mixing of conventional romance and drama themes through an unusual narrative and visual storytelling that allowed it to appeal to both mainstream and less mainstream audiences.
Question7
Our preliminary task lacked planning and had poor quality, so for this task we conducted extensive research and planning in 10 areas. This included researching genre conventions and history to understand what makes a good film noir. We analyzed title sequences and screened films to inform our ideas and understand institutions. Audience research found fans of art and filmmaking would enjoy the genre. Finally, we created a pitch, call sheet, and storyboard with animatic to plan our improved film noir media product.
Question 4
The document discusses how the filmmakers used various online tools and technologies at different stages of creating their horror film. They used search engines like Google to research film conventions and find influences. They created a blog using Blogger to document their research and process. Google Docs was used to gather audience feedback on ideas and drafts. YouTube and Vimeo were used to upload and view other films for research and influence. IMDB provided information on similar films. Photoshop and Final Cut Express were the main software used to design the poster and edit the film. Various cameras including a Sony HDV 1000 and Sony CX280 were used to film different shots.
Magazine analysis
The document analyzes conventions used on three film magazine covers to promote movies, such as placing the movie title, actors, and dominant images prominently, using buzz words and pull quotes to generate interest, and including details like genre, date, and price to provide relevant information to readers. Common conventions across the magazines are the masthead, movie title or actors, dominant image, and inclusion of genre, with some variation in additional elements like websites, references to other films, or issue details.
Sam's Evaluation - Question 1
The document discusses how the media product of a movie trailer uses conventions of real movie trailers. It summarizes that the trailer uses typical conventions like focusing on the main male and female lead characters involved in a romantic conflict, following a predictable storyline structure, incorporating an upbeat soundtrack, and using fast-paced editing. The document also notes how the trailer was inspired by existing amateur trailers on YouTube and chose to use title screens rather than a voiceover to convey the plot. Conventions for the promotional poster and magazine cover were also researched and incorporated elements like clearly showing the two main characters and release details.
Short film vs feature length film
Short films are typically under 30 minutes while feature films are 70-210 minutes. Short films have small budgets so rely on festivals for distribution, while features get funding from major studios. Features can afford famous actors and locations, helping films like Get Out gross over $255 million. Meanwhile, short films tell relatable stories on modest budgets, with examples like The Silent Child winning awards. Overall, features are considered better due to their larger budgets and commercial success, though short films find acclaim at festivals for creative storytelling.
Question 3
The filmmakers received feedback from test audiences that helped them improve their horror film. The audience found the storyline easy to follow until the confusing return of the character Mr. Smith. They also struggled to hear some audio and felt the film lacked scares and music. To address this, the filmmakers cut the confusing Mr. Smith scene, increased audio volume, and added music and sound effects. Viewers also wanted more jump scares, so an extra scary ending was added. Feedback further informed changes to the poster slogan to better suit the horror genre.
Crook editing progress
Me and Charlie have been editing the Crook trailer using footage from filming sessions, putting the footage in the correct position and removing unnecessary parts while adding fade ins and outs. They still need to do one more filming session on Tuesday to get all the footage needed to finish editing the trailer, which will then be uploaded to the Crossroad Films YouTube page shortly after to show an early version.

Photos of both locations are provided and the document indicates they suited the film trailer well and were successfully used for filming without issues.
Evaluation - Question 2
The combination of the main film Crook and its ancillary products of a poster, magazine cover, and trailer were effective in establishing a brand. All three products featured the main characters from the film and used consistent font and coloring for the film title. A blood red color was used throughout to convey the film's tone. The production company logo was included on the poster and trailer to promote the brand. Consistent inclusion of the actors' names helped familiarize audiences with the cast.

Magazine Front Cover - Conventions
- 3. After taking a look into the different conventions that are used for Magazine Front Covers there are many different conventions that I think we should use for Crooks Magazine Front Cover. For example I think that we should take some high quality photos of The Gripwell Killer and Detective George Foster, these images would then be positioned in the middle of the front cover. On the other hand, we will be using the slogan for our film on the Magazine Front Cover which is ‘This time it’s personal’ which I think is a good slogan for our film and should be used as a marketing tool for our film. In addition to this, I also think that directly addressing the audience would add a lot to our Magazine Front Cover, this would entice the audience to read the Magazine which is the main purpose of a Magazine Front Cover. What will Crossroad Films Use?
