This movie poster has several strengths including a conventional layout, a suitable image that emphasizes the setting, and a clear bold title that is not distracted by other elements. However, the image may be a bit too dark. The font fits the horror genre well and the poster imitates horror movie conventions consistently.

Media Studies Evaluation (Question 1)
The media product uses conventions from found footage horror films like The Blair Witch Project and Rec by including shaky camera work, tilted shots, and a "bad TV" effect. It develops ideas from the movie poster of The Exorcist by including a faint, ambiguous long shot that provides a clue about the film after closer examination. It challenges conventions by putting the villain on the cover of a film magazine rather than the hero, giving away part of the story and signaling the horror/action theme within.
Evaluation: Question one
The document provides guidance on developing magazine covers, websites, and film posters and trailers. It recommends using techniques like mastheads, slug lines, centered text, different fonts and colors, wide and close-up shots, subtitles, and news reader layouts to effectively showcase information and engage audiences. Evaluation questions are included to help improve various design elements.

The document discusses how the media producer's poster, magazine, and trailer for a film use, develop, and challenge existing conventions.
For the poster, conventions from the film "The Eye" are used, such as a blue tinge and positioning of title/tagline. The poster develops these by adding a wooden window frame. Conventions challenged include using color and the background image.

Use develop challenge poster
The media product uses conventions of real film posters by employing a similar font style and landscape layout as the "Let Me In" horror film poster. It develops on this by including more photos to provide narrative context and using a darker color gradient to create a creepy atmosphere. The poster challenges conventions by including the cast, using a more compact title placement to showcase photos more prominently, and utilizing color in the photos to make graphic elements like blood more realistic.
Evaluation question 1
The poster uses conventions from the film "The Eye" such as a blue tinge and positioning of title and tagline. It develops these conventions by adding a wooden window frame around the image. The poster challenges "The Eye" by using red font instead of black and white and adding a background of trees.
The magazine uses conventions from Total Film such as masthead positioning and featuring one main character. It develops the banner and masthead writing. The magazine challenges Total Film by using darker lighting and unique story tabs overlapping the image.
The trailer uses conventions from films like Prom Night such as establishing shots and prop use. It develops conventions from One Hour Photo by zooming out from a photo to a picture wall.
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.
Duotone proposal
The document provides details about a proposed low-budget psychological thriller film. It would target a young adult/adult demographic and receive funding from British film organizations. The film would have a limited cast of mostly unknown actors and a modest crew. The plot involves a man whose sister is kidnapped by a drug lord and he is forced to carry out violent tasks to secure her release. The opening title sequence would feature only two locations and focus on lighting, color grading, and a licensed song. Diegetic sounds would be ambient noise and effects with little dialogue. The typography for the title is planned to be large, sans-serif lettering to represent the genre and production values.

film poster evaluation
The document discusses codes and conventions commonly used in horror movie posters. It notes that posters typically feature a large image of the scary character, use dark or light gray backgrounds with contrasting text colors like red, black, and white. The title is usually positioned at the bottom in a large, attention-grabbing font. Slogans, taglines, and straplines are also typically included. The writer describes applying these conventions to their own horror movie poster by including a large main character image, using contrasting colors, and positioning the title at the bottom.
Q1- Magazine
My film magazine cover uses conventions from existing magazines like Empire by featuring a mid-shot main image in red and dark colors to represent the horror genre. It also changes the font of the main cover line to match the featured film and includes codes like the barcode, date and price. The character is looking away instead of at the camera to convey fear of being followed. While most magazines fully match the color scheme to the film, this magazine maintains a consistent house style over accurately representing the genre. It also places the colored bar at the bottom instead of the top to move the tagline above the masthead and reduce clutter.
Media powerpoint final
The director researched various horror and thriller trailers to understand how to craft fear without revealing the entire plot. They are responsible for realizing the film's vision through shots, tone, and audience experience. The target audience is teenagers and young adults, as horror films often feature teenage characters and situations they can relate to. Feedback from teenage test audiences confirmed that an appealing horror film keeps the audience on edge without resolving uncertainties. It also features a single main scary character rather than many.
Codes and conventions of tv documentary interviews
The document discusses some common codes and conventions used in television documentary interviews. It notes that mise-en-scene is always relevant to the subject or interviewee. Interviews typically use artificial lighting and frame the interviewee to one side of center following the rule of thirds. Medium close-ups and close-ups are common shots used. Backgrounds are usually out of focus if the focus is on the interviewee rather than subject. Interviewees are commonly seated still on a fixed chair. A tripod provides a stable shot. Questions are edited out to allow the documentary to run smoothly. Graphics like names and subtitles identify the interviewee and subject. Non-diagetic sound can be used if relevant without intervening in the

The document analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of a student documentary about mobile phones. The strengths include following conventions of television documentaries by framing the interviewee off-center during interviews. It also uses relevant cutaways of mobile phones that relate to the topic. Additionally, the documentary maintains focus and steadiness through the use of a tripod. Weaknesses are that the interviewee does not rephrase questions in answers, lacking a music bed, not having titles, being unfinished and disjointed, and not using superimposition to connect the interviewee to the topic.

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.
Typography
This document discusses four fonts that are being considered as the main typography for a comic. The first font has a cartoonish and calligraphic style. The second font is thick, bold, and eye-catching with an italic effect. The third font is simple and bold but not particularly suited for comic material. The fourth font is described as edgy, bold, and outstanding making it ideal for comic typography.

Evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the student's horror film trailer, poster, and magazine cover utilize and challenge conventions of real media products in these genres.
The trailer follows horror conventions like building tension through editing and music. It also challenges conventions by using bright lighting in some scenes. The poster features the villain prominently as is common, but reveals her fully rather than keeping her secret. The magazine cover resembles real publications through layout and design elements but challenges conventions through its color scheme and smoke imagery relating to the film's narrative.
Poster Layout/Flat Plan
The document discusses the layout and design process for a movie poster. It describes two initial flat plan designs, one with the film title at the top and pull quote underneath, and another with the title also at the top due to the positioned image. The first design was chosen for the final poster. In the final version, the film title was moved to the bottom above credits, while the pull quote was enlarged and centered at the top for better visual impact and to follow conventional horror poster conventions.
3. production experiments
The document describes Edan Burrows' process for creating a movie poster. They chose a black and white image that looked cool and scary. They used the "Mistral" font for the title because it looked like a horror style. Text was added to the bottom to make the poster look like a legitimate movie poster. In their reflection, Edan notes they created the poster to advertise a short film and show the filming location, and chose fonts and black and white to fit a horror style, though the actual film will be in color.

Main production
This film trailer review summarizes the production's strengths and weaknesses. The editing is fast-paced and conventional, while the sound design startles and changes the atmosphere effectively. However, the story line could be clearer from the beginning with a brief introduction to the main character to help the audience relate to them. The camera work and mise en scene fit the genre well.
Magazine cover
This magazine cover effectively uses a close-up image that clearly shows the sinister look in the character's eyes and bloodied face to draw in audiences for the horror genre. The red color scheme connotes blood and fits the genre well. While the layout follows the eye's route and places all important cover lines on the left side to demonstrate their significance, it could be improved by adding one more cover line for additional context.
Ancillary development
This document contains analyses of sample magazine cover and film poster drafts designed for a student film project. The cover and posters follow conventions of their genres, such as placing key information in prominent areas to guide the viewer's eye. Fonts and visual elements are chosen to reflect the film's horror genre and suggest ominous themes without revealing the plot. The character depicted shows signs of danger and trauma to intrigue audiences.
ancillary evaluation
The document discusses conventions found in magazine covers and posters for horror films. Some key conventions discussed include:
- Using a close-up of the main character's face as the central image.
- Placing the film title at the bottom of the poster.
- Employing a simple color scheme of black, white, and red.
- Featuring serif fonts that appear distorted and off balance.
The author incorporated these conventions found in research into their own magazine cover and poster designs to stay true to the genre of horror.
Risk assessment 2
The risk assessment is for the production "Revenge" taking place from October 10-20. It identifies potential hazards for the production including things inside the house that could break, a knife being used as a prop, a potential car crash on location, tripping in wooded areas, and dangerous rubble. For each hazard, the document lists the people at risk, location, existing risk controls, and determines the level of risk as low, medium, or high depending on the hazard.
Pro plan 2
The document lists dates, locations, actors/directors, props/costumes, and equipment used for various activities involving Chloe Mason, Steve Mason, and Paul Sharman between October 10th-19th. It notes filming locations including a home, road, wooded areas, and derelict buildings. Props included phones, knives, masks, cars, and fake blood. Equipment included cameras, tripods, and duct tape. The activities appeared to involve filming with disguises and props made to look like weapons at abandoned locations over multiple dates.
Shot list
This document contains a shot list for a film scene with descriptions of 24 shots including camera angles, movement, and key actions shown. Shot 1 is an establishing shot of a road and house. Shots 2, 6, 10, 12, and 24 are title screens. Shot 3 is a wide shot introducing the living room. Subsequent shots include points of view, intruders entering, the protagonist tied up in a car, being dragged into a field, and finally screaming into the camera in a close-up.
Insidious
The document analyzes conventions used in horror movie trailers like Insidious. It discusses how the trailer for Insidious uses lighting, music, camera work, and imagery to create fear, suspense, and mystery for the audience. Fast-paced editing, ominous music, and point-of-view shots are employed to build tension. Mysterious images like a shadowy figure outside the house leave the threat unseen, while a child hiding behind a door builds an unseen threat.
Devil
This document analyzes the trailer and provides insights into the characters and plot. It discusses how the costumes represent the different characters and their social statuses. Shots of an upside down New York city are used to foreshadow supernatural events. The characters are shown going about their ordinary day until something causes them to get trapped in an elevator together, hinting at an unknown threat.
The strangers
The document analyzes conventions used in a horror movie trailer to create fear and tension in the audience. It discusses the use of low lighting, isolated settings, ominous music, jump scares with loud sounds, fast editing, handheld camera work, wide shots showing antagonists behind unaware protagonists, and eye line matches that put the audience in the perspective of the frightened characters. All of these techniques are employed to engage the audience and make them fearful of what might happen.
Risk assessment
This risk assessment document was created by Chloe Mason for the production of "Revenge" taking place from October 10th-20th. It identifies several potential hazards for the production including props being used unsafely, car accidents on location, and tripping in wooded areas. For each hazard, the document lists the people at risk, location, existing risk controls, and determines the level of risk as low, medium, or high. The overall document evaluates and plans for potential safety issues for the upcoming production.
Pro plan
The document lists details of locations, actors, props, and equipment used over several dates by Rachel Hanson, Olivia Dedman, Hannah Young, and Chloe Mason. On the initial dates they filmed at a home and used typical household items, then began filming at wooded and derelict areas where they brought knives, weapons, duct tape and fake blood. They continued filming at the derelict locations over multiple dates.
Script writing
The document is a script for a short film depicting a home invasion and kidnapping of a young girl named Alice. In three sentences: The intruders break into Alice's home, violently assault her, knock her unconscious, and kidnap her by putting her in the trunk of their car. They drive her to an isolated, derelict building in the countryside where they continue to assault her. The script ends with Alice waking up alone at the building, freeing her hands, and finding a knife on the floor with a sinister smile.
Insidious
The document analyzes conventions used in horror movie trailers and films. It discusses how the insidious trailer uses text, imagery, sound, and camera work to set an ominous tone and imply supernatural events. Fast editing, mysterious sounds and music, and low lighting are employed to build tension and suspense. Establishing shots set the isolated setting and handheld camera adds to the fear from the character's point of view.
Devil
The trailer establishes that five strangers from different walks of life are trapped in an elevator in New York City on an ordinary day. Strange events begin to unfold, as the first shots of the city are shown upside down, suggesting something unusual will happen. Through the costumes and appearances of the characters, cues are given to their various backgrounds and personalities. An eerie tone sets an ominous atmosphere before the audience learns what threatens the individuals now stuck together.
The strangers
The lighting creates a gloomy, nighttime atmosphere that isolates the characters and makes them vulnerable. Shots of a romantic dinner establish the couple's tranquility before danger intrudes. Fast editing cuts between disturbing images to overwhelm the audience with tension.
