Using visual examples of where your coursework does
The document discusses several film theories and how the filmmaker's short film adheres to or differs from thriller genre conventions. The filmmaker agrees with theories that using vulnerable settings and stalking/murdering a young female victim builds tension. However, the film's ending differs from typical thriller endings due to time constraints. Overall, the filmmaker aims to elicit emotions from audiences through conventional events, locations, and themes, while acknowledging some divergence from expectations.
Evaluation 1
The student's short film uses conventions from the film "The Lovely Bones" as inspiration. It includes a young innocent girl named Lilly who is abducted, similar to the main character in "The Lovely Bones". It also features an old scary man as the abductor. The film uses a voiceover throughout without music to build tension. It does not show any explicit scenes between the characters to stick to conventions. Some conventions are challenged, such as providing clues about what happens to Lilly more quickly than in "The Lovely Bones" to build tension in the shorter format. Overall the film focuses more on using conventions than challenging them to help ensure the film's success.

Here is a power point explaining the technologies I used during the construction stages of my a-level media coursework. I have explained how and why I have used them.
Question 4
The document discusses the various media technologies used during the planning, research, construction and evaluation stages of creating a short film poster and film review page. It describes using existing horror film posters for research, editing websites like PicMonkey and Pixlr for planning, and the program Publisher to create the film review page. For filming the short film, a school video camera, light reflectors, and studio media lights were used, though some reshoots were needed due to technical issues. Editing on Macs also presented challenges around color correction and a broken tripod.

Ev1 in what ways does your media product use1
My magazine cover uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real magazine covers in several ways. It uses conventions such as including a masthead, cover images and lines. However, it challenges conventions by having the masthead on the left instead of centered, and placing non-typical elements like the barcode on the top right. The contents page also challenges conventions by using two columns instead of one and excluding a letter from the editor. The double page spread challenges conventions by not featuring the main cover story, and using atypical design elements like a gradient background.

Evaluation 1
My magazine cover uses conventions of real magazine covers such as a masthead, cover lines, and consistent color scheme. It challenges conventions by placing the masthead on the left instead of center, adding a barcode and issue date, and using two banners with cover lines.
My contents page challenges conventions by not using columns and structuring text around images instead. It develops conventions by including page numbers, artist quotes, and a subscription advertisement.
My double page spread develops conventions by including a page number, aligning text and images, and including a full article interview. It challenges conventions by placing smaller images in polaroid frames and adding a personal touch.
Code and conventions - double page spread
The document analyzes a two-page magazine spread that profiles an artist. It discusses several design elements used: a pink background that draws attention to the text and image rather than the background; a black and pink color scheme consistent with the magazine's style; and a large, bold heading and picture that catch the reader's attention. The spread also uses colors and designs from the magazine's logo for branding and employs techniques like vibrant colors and direct address to engage readers.
Q1
This document discusses how the media product challenges and develops conventions of real magazines.
It summarizes that the front cover uses exaggerated colors to stand out, while the contents page and double page spread use the same color scheme with less vibrancy to not overpower the text. Navigation is developed across pages by indicating the feature story on page 8. Continuity is developed by using the same fictional artist image on all pages at different sizes.
Some conventions are challenged, like including a subscription option on the contents page. The double page spread uses half the page for the main image rather than taking up the majority to suit an individual artist feature.
The document analyzes how the media product both develops conventions of real magazines

Media evaluation q1 no.2
- 1. in what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of media products?
- 2. Front Cover Conventions of a front cover - Masthead usually carries through the same theme/ colour scheme throughout the magazine -One main Images usually a head and shoulders shot - Main image is the main story, clearly advertised more than the others. -Other images linking to the main stories on the cover -Teasing headlines making the reader want to read on and turn to the article - Banners/ text boxes to attract the readers attention -Barcode - Selling techniques for e.g “Buy it or regret it!” -Price - Articles with there page number showing -Issue number and Date released - Colours are bold, bright and eye- catching -Very busy, hardly any white space this will immediately attract the attention from other competitive magazines.
- 3. My Front Cover Followed conventions - Kept the main image a head and shoulders shot - The masthead I had kept the same font throughout my Contents page and double page spread also the colour scheme stayed similar with just a few different tweaks to add a fresh new vibe. - Added a selling line “Britians answer to a FRESH RnB magazine”- to advertise my magazine and the selling point that “Fresh n Fly” is new, urban and fresh. Also in the UK market there is not any mainstream RnB magazines so the magazine is also showing how it is new to the market. - Used a barcode, date, issue number and price. Challenged conventions - I wanted to make the magazine fairly minimalistic so my front cover was not as busy as the usual magazines, however I felt this made the magazine look more professional and less intimidating. - I didn’t put the articles page numbers on the front cover as I feel that information should be displayed in the contents page.
- 4. Contents Page Conventions of a contents page - Tells the reader what to expect - Where to find the articles (Page numbers) -Features (Page numbers) - Editors note - Competitions - Images of articles
- 5. My contents Page Followed Conventions - Displayed the main features and page numbers - Involved images of some of the main features - The editors note was informal, friendly and welcoming. Challenged Conventions - Instead of displaying all page numbers and information I have only displayed the main features and page numbers - I didn’t include a competition as I feel that should be saved for pages towards the end - Again I carried though the minimalistic theme in my contents page. - The main story/ cover story I put in a different colour to all the other features to show clearly and effectively that it is the main story of the week. - I also included a fun insert “Lyric of Da week”- linked closely to social networking as you have to enter your lyric of the week through either Twitter or Facebook which is relevant to my target audience. In the long term I could imagine this trending on Twitter.
- 6. Double page spread Conventions of a double page spread - Lots of text - Images - main image dominates the story and page - Main Headline, the story is clearly advertised. - Sub heading, informs the reader - Usually an interview with a current or rising star. - Colourful, bold and bright - Page number, links to the contents page so the reader can find the article and informs the reader to navigate the right page. - some of the interesting parts of the text are enlarged to draw attention and a sense of exclusive gossip about it. - Drop capitals- stands out from the rest of the text
- 7. My double page spread Followed Conventions - I chose to follow through conventions with my double page spread as an interview form with the rising star “Gee” - 2 main images of the cover star Gee. - I used a statement from the text as the main headline “Why go through life unnoticed?”- as it sums up the whole interview and is a different title to the usual, expected headline. - Made more interesting quotes bold to grab the readers attention Challenged conventions - Made a section of “How to get Gee’s look” so I was involving the idea of fashion which I said I would do all along and its a fun, girly way to interest people more into the article. Also my target audience are teenagers and young adults who often want aspire to look and be like artists and celebrities. - The colours are carried through from the front cover and contents page- this isn’t always done in magazines. But I feel it makes the magazine appear as one. - Didn’t want too much text as it can be boring and put the reader off.
