This document summarizes a student's media studies project on a romantic drama film trailer, poster, and website. It discusses how the projects used and developed conventions of real media forms. Feedback was gathered from questionnaires and group voting to improve the projects. New media technologies like tutorials, editing tools, and HD cameras were used in construction, research, planning and evaluation. The trailer used a soundtrack and titles while the poster featured a central couple image and contrasting colors. The website included original photography and a conventional introduction theme.
