- Include characters of both genders in meaningful, multi-dimensional roles
- Employ exciting, fast-paced storytelling and visuals

This document summarizes various scenes and elements from a film opening sequence. It describes establishing shots that set the location, genre and tone. It discusses title design, costume and prop choices to develop characters and move the plot. Camera work and special effects are employed to draw attention to clues and engage the audience. Formats from real news channels and films are challenged and developed upon to create an immersive opening for the mystery genre.
Question 1
This is my evaluation on what ways my media products (teaser trailer, poster and magazine cover) develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products.
Media evaluation q1
The document discusses conventions of teaser trailers that the author researched and applied to their group's teaser trailer for a film. It describes common teaser trailer durations of 50-100 seconds and how the group's 72-second trailer fit this convention. It also discusses conventions around editing style, sound design including tension-building music, use of voiceovers, text/graphic elements, company idents, and applying genre conventions of thrillers to situate the story in a school setting. Examples are provided from other films' teaser trailers to illustrate conventions the group's trailer adhered to or adapted.
A2 evaluation presentation
The document discusses the process of creating promotional materials for a film project including a teaser trailer, poster, and magazine cover. It describes analyzing existing examples to understand conventions of the genre. Feedback was gathered from an audience who felt the locations and visuals matched the crime genre. Some elements like the magazine cover background could be improved. Overall, technology played an important role in research, production, and editing the final materials.
The Design Process
The document describes the process of editing a photograph into a creepy image for a CD cover using Photoshop. Key techniques included converting the image to black and white, adjusting exposure and saturation to emphasize light and remove orange tones, blurring the eyes to make them fully white, and using burn tools to darken shadows. Text was added using blended fonts and effects to match the artist's style and make the text stand out. Additional images from the artist's work were incorporated at low opacity. These same editing techniques and design elements were then applied to create matching magazine and back cover advertisements.
Question one
The document discusses how the media product, including a poster, magazine, and trailer, uses and develops conventions of real media products. The poster includes elements like the main image filling most of the page, a large central masthead to attract attention, and credits and details along the bottom. The magazine similarly centers the main image and places the large masthead and title alongside it. The trailer uses common title elements like "based on true events" and credits to signal it is a trailer. Locations in the trailer also follow horror film conventions, shifting from a normal to creepier setting.

Changes for poster final
The document describes changes made to a poster. The first change was brightening the color of the word "HOME" in "HOMESICK" as it was too dim. Next, the logos at the bottom were moved further down so the title and text took up less space and the image could be the main focus. Finally, the release date was added back in to follow magazine conventions and include all needed information for the audience.
Changes for poster final
The document describes changes made to a poster. The first change was brightening the color of the word "HOME" in "HOMESICK" as it was too faint. Next, the logos at the bottom were moved further down so the title and text took up less space and the image could be the main focus. Finally, the release date was added back in to follow magazine conventions and include all needed information for the audience.
Evaluation question 3
The feedback Leah received helped improve her film marketing materials. Initial feedback on her storyline led her to make changes that improved the plot. Feedback on mock-ups and drafts allowed her to refine elements like layout, colors and images. Overall, feedback indicated her magazine, poster and trailer successfully fit the thriller/mystery genre and worked well together to advertise the film. However, some suggested smaller text sizes could further enhance the materials.
Feedback for mock ups
The document provides feedback on mock ups for a poster and magazine for a film. The feedback indicates that the layout of the poster and magazine fit common conventions and will be familiar and appealing to audiences. Additional elements added to the magazine, like flash pages, were praised for drawing readers in further. The selected shots for the image on the materials were said to clearly convey the film's genre. Finally, the color scheme of red, black and white was noted to be an effective pairing.
Publisher for magazine
The document discusses choosing a publisher for a new film magazine called "Screening". It considers several major magazine publishers - IPC, Emap, and Bauer. Ultimately, Bauer is chosen as the publisher because they already own the successful film magazine "Empire" and have experience targeting the desired film audience. While "Empire" covers all films, "Screening" would focus specifically on thriller and mystery genres, allowing it to appeal to a similar but slightly narrower audience. Bauer's existing experience and audience in the film magazine space makes them the best choice to successfully launch and distribute "Screening".
How did we change our trailer from how we originally planned
We made a few changes to our trailer from the original plan. We took some shots out and replaced them with others that we thought would look better after starting to film. We kept the beginning part of our planning the same as we had thoroughly thought it through and knew it would be effective. We decided not to include giving the animal's heart that was linked to Snow White, and instead just showed the package with it inside to save that for the actual film. Other than that, we kept everything as originally planned and were able to easily film and add a few shots while expanding on our original storyboard, which helped guide the trailer production.
Shooting scedule
Georgia moves out of her family home for the first time to celebrate her 18th birthday. She receives a nasty text from her ex-boyfriend Mark. Over the next year, Mark manipulates and isolates Georgia from her family. He convinces her to help him kidnap her sister Steph in order to get revenge on her family for breaking up with him. Georgia and Mark send threatening messages and packages to Steph's family. Eventually, Georgia realizes the harm she has caused and seeks help from her family.
Changes from mock ups
The document compares the original mockups for a film poster and magazine to the final products. For the magazine: the layout and key elements like the main actor's close-up photo were kept the same, but some minor changes were made to positioning of elements based on research of other magazines. For the poster: nearly all elements were kept the same as the mockups based on research done, with only the main image being changed from a medium shot to a close-up. Both the final magazine and poster largely kept to conventions for those mediums seen in research.
What changed from when we first planned our film poster and magazine
For their film magazine and poster, the document discusses what elements were kept the same from initial mockups and what was changed based on further research and planning.
The magazine layout kept the main actor's close-up image and text along the sides as in the mockups. The footer and key information were also kept the same. Some elements like the flash and date/price placement were moved based on researching other magazines. Additional context text was added under the masthead.
The poster largely kept the same elements as the mockups - title at the bottom, actors' names above, small print at the bottom, and release date. The main image was changed from a medium/long shot to a close-up to
What changed from when we first planned our film poster and magazine
For the film poster, they kept most aspects the same as the original mockups, including showing the main actor's face close up to convey emotion, having the actor names above the film title as is conventional, and including the release date and small print at the bottom. The only change was using a closer shot of the actor's face rather than a medium shot to focus on her emotions.
For the magazine, they kept many planned elements the same like the footer describing extra content and layout with text along the sides. Some tweaks included repositioning the flash and date/price based on research of other magazines. Additional text was also added under the masthead to describe the magazine's content.

Print scrreens for how we made trailer
The document summarizes the steps taken to create a film trailer using Adobe Premiere. First, video clips were filmed and imported into Premiere for editing. Scenes were selected and arranged in the desired sequence. Text was added using title tools to introduce scene changes and provide credits. Transitions between clips were added using dip to black effects. Sound and music were layered, fading the music in and out and lowering it during dialogue portions. The finished trailer was exported and uploaded to YouTube.
Transcript
The document appears to be a transcript for a film titled "Homesick". It provides intertitles that establish the main character Laura Ward had a caring community and exciting future until change came with new surroundings and one man who manipulated her. This manipulation had several consequences and seemingly devastating endings for Laura Ward and others, making up the thriller of the year from the director of "The Reality Run".
Film trailer problems
The filmmakers encountered several problems when creating their trailer, including difficulties filming on schedule, crashes when using the new editing software, correctly adding and removing audio, and properly placing intertitles. Through perseverance and help from others, they were able to overcome these challenges, learn to use the software, and complete an effective trailer.
changes to mag
The document summarizes changes made to a final film magazine based on feedback. The size of the website and some other elements were increased to make past issues and details more visible to audiences. The size of the main headline was adjusted to not cover the main image and appear clearer. Finally, the color of text below the magazine title was altered so it did not all look the same at the top and brought more attention to the main image.
Changes to poster and mag
We made changes to our film poster based on feedback. The original poster did not clearly convey the plot or tone of the film. After receiving comments, we redesigned the poster to more plainly show what the movie is about and to capture the feeling of the story in a way that will attract audiences.
Print screens for magazine......................................
The document describes the process of designing a film magazine mockup. First, an image was chosen and placed on a black background to set the mystery/thriller genre. Boxes and additional photos from other films were added to showcase multiple movies. A barcode, footer with other film titles, and large main film title were incorporated to resemble a real magazine. Straps with consistent colors were put down the sides. The magazine title is in red font to stand out, along with the website, date, and price. Lines separate the straps to make the text readable. More straps were added to fill space and provide information. A circular shape was included to highlight a competition and entice readers to learn more inside.
Analysis of trailers
The three trailers for Oblivion, Iron Man 3, and After Earth are all action adventure genre based on their depictions of weapons, violence, and tense music. Both the male and female characters are represented similarly across the trailers, with males portrayed as dominant and using violence while women are shown as companions or assistants. Special effects play a major role in the trailers, conforming to the action adventure genre by enhancing things not otherwise possible for audience enjoyment.
Shot plan
This document contains a shot list for a film with 56 shots. It details the action, props needed, and actors for each shot. Many of the shots are of characters Georgia, Steph, and Mark and involve them at a party, Georgia moving into a new flat, Mark screaming at Georgia and pretending to be nice, Steph being attacked at a bus stop, Georgia's parents receiving a disturbing package, Georgia screaming and looking sad while holding a lighter, and two black screens with text titles. The shot list follows the scenes and interactions between the three main characters.
Final equipment for blog
This document outlines the digital equipment needed for a film project, including a video camera, digital camera, microphone, tripod, and lighting. It explains that the video camera will be used to film all shots, while the microphone will capture dialogue. A tripod will stabilize shots from a distance or during panning shots. Lights will provide dramatic or supplemental lighting for effects in video and still photos. A digital camera will take portraits, action shots, and location photos for marketing materials.
