Codes and conventions of film trailers
Film trailers use several techniques to entice audiences. These include including the production company logo to indicate budget and genre. They also provide the film certification to convey appropriate audience age. Trailers introduce prominent cast and crew to attract fans of their previous work. They vary the pace of shots, using slower initial shots that speed up to build tension. Shot lengths differ from less than a second to longer shots, with shorter clips highlighting plot points and longer shots providing context.
Features of a trailer
Trailers are designed to attract audiences to films in a limited amount of time. They showcase exciting clips and highlight stars while giving some information about the plot and genre through conventions like fast pacing, dramatic camera angles, and one-liners between characters. Different types of trailers exist for different purposes, like teaser trailers leaving audiences wanting more or theatrical trailers shown before films to target similar audiences. Trailers are viewed in various locations both in theaters and online on websites and social media.
Conventions of film trailers
The document discusses conventions of film trailers. It states that teaser trailers typically include titles with production details at the beginning and actor names at the end. Sound commonly includes voiceovers or mood music. Editing uses quick cuts between clips or fades between shots. Camerawork focuses on close-ups, long shots, and extreme long shots. Teaser trailers aim to entice audiences and manipulate them into seeing the film by injecting information, though audiences can interpret the information differently.
Codes and conventions of film trailers
This is my presentation on the Codes and Conventions of film trailers. This research will help me when it comes to making my own film trailer.
Designing a movie trailer
The document provides guidance on designing an effective movie trailer, recommending that the trailer follows a narrative structure by showing part of the rising action and climax from the first act of the movie. It suggests selecting clips that introduce the main characters and conflicts, as well as dramatic or humorous moments from the primary action. Additionally, it advises keeping the trailer under 1 minute and 30 seconds and choosing clips that will entice the target audience to want to see the full movie.
Audience research Music Video
This document discusses the music industry and how media industries target audiences. It notes that music videos now typically cost between $15,000 and $50,000, more than in previous eras. Artists should research their target audiences in terms of age, gender, ethnicity and interests to better appeal to fans. Media industries use tactics like celebrity cameos, popular messages, controversial imagery and viral content to attract audiences. The document also recommends artists get feedback from peers on works-in-progress to improve audience understanding and engagement.
Year 13 practice
This document outlines areas to focus on for an exam, including media language, genre, narrative, representation, and audience.

Small Scale Research Project - Exemplar
This project examines how films are remade over time by analyzing three versions of the same story released in different decades. It considers how the remakes update themes, characters, and settings to reflect the social contexts of their eras. Key findings include that more recent remakes included stronger female leads and themes of empowerment compared to older versions from the 1930s and 1950s.
Advertisement and Album Cover Annotation Examples
This document provides instructions for an assignment analyzing conventions of music CD covers and advertisements. Students are asked to find examples of conventional CD covers and advertisements, one each for a solo artist and band. They should annotate the examples, identifying conventions and explaining how they relate to the artist's persona and target audience. Examples are provided of conventions like the artist's image, song lists, and design elements that appeal to different genres and audiences.
Music video styles and history
This document summarizes the history and styles of music videos. It discusses early styles like in-concert videos and animation. It also covers narrative videos and parody/pastiche videos. The document then outlines the influence of MTV in the 1980s and innovations like Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video. It concludes by noting the impact of computer animation, Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing" video, and the internet/YouTube on the distribution and styles of modern music videos.
Evaluation criteria
The evaluation criteria outlines what is required for an excellent understanding and evaluation of a media production project in several key areas:
1) Understanding the target audience through research examples from the work.
2) Understanding how institutional factors like distributors may affect production with examples.
3) Demonstrating understanding of the technologies used and how they created meaning with examples.
4) Explaining how different groups are represented and if it challenges conventions, with examples.
5) Discussing the forms and conventions of genre and how they were used/developed/challenged in the work with examples.
Completion of all questions and posts is required along with specific visual examples from the work and a demonstrated understanding
Media language terminology
This document contains a list of filmmaking and cinematography terms related to various elements of production including lighting, camera techniques, editing, sound, and more. Key areas covered include shot types, lighting styles, editing techniques, sound design elements, and other technical terms used in filmmaking and media analysis.
All evaluation posts
The document provides guidance for students on completing the evaluation section of their foundation media portfolio. It includes prompts for the student to discuss how they used and developed conventions of genre and opening sequences in their media product, how they represented social groups, what type of institution might distribute their product, who their target audience is, how they addressed this audience, the technologies they learned, and what they learned from their preliminary task to the full product. The student is directed to include examples, discuss their process, and make their responses visual.
62 marks section b music
The examiner provides comments on a candidate's answers to two questions on a television drama exam. For question one on gender representation, the examiner found the candidate took an integrated chronological approach but could have done more to explicitly link their analysis to gender through a wider range of examples. For question two on the music industry, the examiner felt the candidate initially did not directly address the question but later engaged with the argument through some case studies, though in a more descriptive than analytical way. The examiner assessed an overall competent response with accurate terminology for both sections.
June 2010 exemplar 1 (highlighted)
This document provides a detailed analysis of a student's media coursework over two years producing magazines and a horror film trailer. The student discusses how researching existing media texts helped them develop their skills and apply techniques from real examples. They analyzed magazines, trailers, posters and films to inform the layout, editing, symbols and genre conventions used in their own horror trailer. Researching techniques like camera angles, lighting and pacing allowed the student to subvert some conventions and create an engaging trailer that has been viewed over 4,000 times on YouTube. The analysis explains how applying genre conventions and creative variations helped make their media pieces recognizable while putting their own spin on the horror genre.
Evaluation
This document provides guidance for students on evaluating their G321 media project. It outlines that students must answer a set of evaluation questions using digital technology rather than just writing. Questions address how the media product uses or challenges conventions, represents social groups, would be distributed, targets audiences, and what was learned. Students can create a presentation, blog, podcast or DVD to present their evaluation, with no word limit but an encouragement to use multimedia. The evaluation is due on April 9th.
Media studies open evening presentation
A Level Media Studies aims to (1) provide students with an understanding of how the media impacts daily life in today's digital world and (2) equip students with skills in using creative software and new technologies that are increasingly important for many careers. While some claim the course is just watching films, it actually involves analyzing media texts, industries, and practical production work. Strong results and resources make it a popular option, but the course may require more independent learning compared to some other subjects. Admission typically requires at least a C grade in English GCSE.
Film Studies Open Evening
This document provides information about the Film Studies course offered at Langley Park School for Girls. It discusses what is covered in the course, how it is designed, and the benefits of taking Film Studies. The course focuses on analyzing films from different historical, social, and cultural perspectives rather than just watching blockbuster films for entertainment. Students conduct research and practical filmmaking projects to develop their skills. Past results for the course show 100% of students received A-C grades at both AS and A2 Level.
Ancillary Task: Magazine Cover
The document provides guidance for students to create a magazine cover as an ancillary task for their film project, worth 10 marks, and due in 2 weeks. It explains that the magazine cover should be similar to their film trailer and poster in showcasing the film's settings, characters, and connection to the story. Students are instructed on including conventions of a magazine cover like the masthead, taglines, and teasers in their A4-sized design while demonstrating layout, fonts, images, and language appropriate for the chosen magazine type.

Section A 1 (b) Exemplars
The document analyzes the student's horror film trailer coursework production in relation to genre. It discusses how the trailer fits conventions of the slasher horror subgenre through its characters, plot, editing techniques, lighting and more. Specifically, it uses stereotypical "final girl" and "scream queen" character archetypes. It also leaves the killer's identity ambiguous until the end to build suspense, as is common in slasher films. While limited by budget, the production effectively utilizes genre codes and signifiers to situate itself within the horror genre for audiences.
