The document discusses the film poster the author created. It follows horror film poster conventions like using dark colors like red, black, and gray. It includes elements common to most film posters such as the tagline and credits. While reviews are common on other genre posters, they are less so for horror. The author included them to better inform potential audiences. The poster also features the film rating, which horror posters typically do not include, to fully prepare viewers for the content. It uses the unusual color pink for the main character to represent her innocence rather than dark clothes. A mid-shot is used rather than a close-up to show some action and generate suspense.

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.

Tom Chamberlain - Question 2 Evaluation
Tom Chamberlain created several ancillary texts to accompany his short film "The Eleventh Hour" including a logo, film poster, and magazine review. He established a consistent brand identity across these materials using the same fonts, colors, and logo. Specifically, he used the logo and font from the film title at the end of the short film and on the poster. While he did not use a screenshot from the film in the poster, the image chosen depicts the film's theme of a lonely journey. The color palette of the poster and magazine were also linked to establish cohesion across the promotional materials.
Poster & why i chose it
The document discusses a movie poster the author created, focusing on a hand with a ring as it signifies death and mystery in the trailer. They chose to include critic comments to fill empty space and followed the dark background and simple colors of red, white, and black from the source material to maintain consistency of theme throughout the poster and trailer. Overall, the author aimed to follow horror genre conventions for the poster by centering on the hand and ring.
Evaluation 2
The document discusses and evaluates several movie posters and magazines as examples for the design of a poster the author created. It summarizes that a poster for "The Grudge" uses little color effectively to create mystery. It aimed for a similar effect without using red which implies gore. The color scheme of a magazine, including red, black, and white, was also an influence. The poster and trailer for "The Woman in Black" effectively link the two with a dark, shadowy atmosphere and similar title layout. The author's magazine would be most similar to TOTAL FILM in its simplistic look and high price point, sharing a similar audience.

A2 evaluation final
The document discusses the conventions used and challenged in a poster, magazine cover, and trailer created to promote a film. For the poster, a conventional layout with a central image and title is used, while an unconventional solid black background helps the image stand out. The magazine cover develops conventions by positioning the image and title differently but keeps a simple structure. The trailer develops conventions through dark, barely visible scenes and breaks conventions by lacking voiceover or dialogue. Conventions are mostly followed for familiarity but also developed and challenged to suit the styled products.
Posters
The document discusses three different film poster designs. For the first design, saturated darker colors were used and the film title was placed below the main protagonist's photo to focus attention on both. However, this design was disliked as it looked chaotic and lacked clear structure and professional fonts. The second design was inspired by Requiem for a Dream and incorporated a split screen with dilated eye and character photos to connote danger and the struggles faced. The film title was centered in bold to catch attention along with a subheading insinuating future drug abuse. This design was personally liked but felt to lack originality.

Photos were taken of the main protagonist against a yellow brick wall and in a bathroom mirror to highlight the character and film's tagline. While bathroom shots couldn't be used, the photos of the protagonist in a fur coat and red lipstick against the yellow wall best portrayed the atmosphere desired to market the female-led British crime film.
A2 evaluation final
The document discusses the use of conventions and experimentation in designing a movie poster, magazine cover, and trailer. For the poster, conventions like a central image and title placement were followed. The magazine cover also featured conventional elements like supporting images and color usage. The trailer adhered to thriller conventions regarding transitions and length. Some elements developed conventions, like an unusual central image on the poster. The magazine cover positioned elements differently. The trailer featured darker scenes. Challenges included omitting an actor's image and only using black and white on the poster. Overall, conventions were mostly followed for familiarity, with some experimentation to suit each stylized product.
Draft film posters
The document summarizes the development of 6 draft film posters created by the author to promote their horror film. Each draft makes improvements based on feedback and aims to better represent the horror genre. Draft 1 includes initial ideas but needs refinement. Draft 2 uses prop necklaces but needs more elements. Draft 3 uses an actress photo but lacks horror elements. Draft 4 is improved with a close-up actress shot and blood makeup. Draft 5 adds cracked text effects and production logos. Draft 6 makes the image black and white for more contrast.

This document analyzes how the short film trailer uses conventions of film noir genres. It discusses how the narrative creates mystery through a complex plot. Settings and scenes replicate aspects of 1940s-1960s film noir, such as a detective at his dimly-lit desk. Mise-en-scene captures film noir conventions through clothing, lighting that illuminates only part of the frame, and props of the era. Editing adheres to conventions with a black-and-white filter, title design, and brief shots to maintain an enigmatic story. While most elements mimic classic film noir, experimenting with a daytime fight scene challenges some conventions.
Evaluating Question 2
The document discusses the house style, iconography, and typography used across a film's trailer, magazine cover, and poster to maintain consistency while allowing some variation.

Typography follows conventions for each media type while linking them through the use of common fonts, images and taglines.

Evaluation part 2

Overall, the projects balanced following real conventions while also innovating to better fit the intended horror genre and story.
film poster codes and conventions
Film posters use various codes and conventions to advertise films and provide insight into their narrative and genre. Typography on posters corresponds to the film's genre to make it more eye-catching. Photographs and illustrations also correspond to the narrative and genre, showing characters, actions, and plots. Lighting sets the mood, with dim lighting for dark films and bright lighting for happy films. Color schemes are used cleverly, with colors like red connoting love in romances but danger in horrors.
A2 Media Evaluation, Question 1
The student analyzed horror trailers, magazines, and posters to understand conventions of the genre. Their analysis found conventions like starting trailers with non-scary scenes, using quick cuts and transitions in action scenes, and leaving the trailer on a cliffhanger. The student's own trailer followed many conventions but also challenged some, like including more soundtracks and not revealing the full plot. Their poster and magazine also followed conventions like using red/black/white colors while challenging expectations through unusual effects. In conclusion, the student felt their work used conventions effectively while also putting their own creative twist on the genre.

Trailer q1
The film trailer follows horror genre conventions with an MPAA splash screen, production logo, and establishing shot at the beginning. It shows the monster only partially and in shadows to create mystery and persuade viewers while still adhering to showing the monster as little as possible. Tense moments have high-key lighting instead of the low-key lighting typical of horror to remove the connotation of safety usually associated with high-key lighting.
Test shots
The document provides feedback on test shots for different scenes including the front door, house, shower, and bedroom. For the front door, it recommends increasing exposure and adding lighting as the shot is too dark. The house image is praised for being well-lit unlike others, though the sky adds to the dark tone. While the shower scene is well-lit, it suggests the framing could be improved for those shots. The shots of the bed are well-lit and one bedroom framing is a personal favorite but could be pulled back further with a lower angle.
Other logo ideas
The document discusses potential logo ideas for a company. It does not provide any specific logo designs or concepts, but rather suggests exploring different logo options. Further details about logo designs or branding strategies are not included in the brief document.
Horror genres
This document outlines several subgenres of horror films including supernatural horror, slasher films, body horror, zombie films, comedy horror, and gothic horror. Supernatural horror films focus on ghosts and demons, often involving religious themes of possession and exorcism. Slasher films center around a serial killer picking off victims. Body horror focuses on the destruction of the human body. Zombie films depict zombie outbreaks and apocalypses. Comedy horror blends humor and frightening elements. Gothic horror features Gothic settings and combines romance with horror.
History of horror
The document traces the history and evolution of the horror genre in film from the 1890s to present day. It highlights some of the key developments and influential films that helped shape various subgenres over the decades, including the birth of horror in the 1890s, German Expressionist films of the 1920s, Universal monster movies of the 1930s, Japanese films responding to nuclear attacks in the 1950s, the rise of slashers in the 1970s-80s, and the satirical self-aware approach revived by Wes Craven's Scream in the 1990s. The genre has seen both success and failure at times in remakes and cliches but also new influential supernatural haunting films in recent decades.
Question 2
The document compares and contrasts the representation of social groups in two media products: a Q Magazine cover photo of David Bowie and the student's magazine cover photo of a male artist. It finds that while both use similar shot types and lighting, they differ in the use of makeup, styling, and clothing. The document concludes that the student's photo portrays their male model subject as independent, strong, representative of rock music, serious, talented, and important through the photo's direct gaze, lack of assistance, attire, facial expression, and placement in the magazine.
Evaluation Question 6
The document discusses the various technologies used by the author to research, produce, and evaluate their music magazine coursework. It describes each technology's purpose, how it was used, any problems encountered, solutions, and lessons learned. The technologies used included a Mac computer, Canon DSLR camera, Photoshop, InDesign, Blogger, PowerPoint, Survey Monkey, lighting equipment, iShowu, iPhoto, Prezi, social media, Excel, and Word. The author learned how to effectively use each program and technology through practice and experience working on their coursework.
Question 2
This document compares two images - one from Q Magazine of David Bowie and one of the artist's own image. Both images use a medium close-up shot with direct address and straight on angle under high key lighting. However, the Q Magazine image of Bowie lacks shadows, shows him without clothes but with styled hair and makeup, while the artist's image includes shadows, clothing but plain hair and no makeup on their subject.

By Dr. Vinod Kumar KanvariaLAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Poster q1
- 2. USE ● Most posters for horror films use the dark gradient around the outer edges of the image, in order to create a sense of darkness and the unknown. ● My film poster uses red, black and grey, colours that are usually seen on horror film posters, due to their negative connotations and links to the genre as a whole ● My poster also follows the codes and conventions of film posters, such as the inclusion of a tag-line and the credits at the bottom of my poster.
- 3. DEVELOP ● Although some conventions of film posters such as reviews are quite common amongst other genres, these do not commonly appear on horror films. However, I felt that including them on my poster was necessary, as it would help to better inform the potential audience on the film, and perhaps persuade them to watch it.
- 4. CHALLENGE ● Film posters in general do not regularly include the film's age rating. However I felt that his was something that should be include, so that the audience is fully aware of what to expect from the film, which is especially important for a genre such as horror. ● ● Although my poster uses red, black and grey, I also use the colour pink on my main character, which is an unusually bright colour for horror posters. I chose to do this in order to reflect the innocence of the main character, rather than dressing her in dark clothes that would suggest something negative about her. ● ● Lots of horror posters that feature the main character use close-ups. However, I chose to use a mid shot, as it allowed me to present some kind of action, creating and atmosphere of suspense.
