Critical evaluation
This document summarizes the ways in which the media product "DETAINEE 238" uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media. It discusses how the film uses conventions from "The Road to Guantanamo Bay" to depict the detainment of innocent Muslim men. It also challenges conventions by having an open narrative rather than a happy ending. Props like orange suits borrowed from Amnesty International were used to make the audience feel emotionally invested. The poster and trailer were also developed using conventions from "The Road to Guantanamo Bay" but added elements like a focus on the detainee's children to build more tension and emotion.
Seven pounds
The poster uses colors like black, white, and red to draw attention and emphasize the film's dramatic genre. The repetition of the number "seven" and ambiguous phrases like "seven pounds" build intrigue. Will Smith's image shows half his face in light and half in shadow, possibly indicating a dark past or dual personality. Multiple names in the background and an unspecified release date further mystify the film and intrigue audiences.
Question 3
The document discusses lessons learned from receiving audience feedback on a film trailer. The feedback revealed that some scenes crossed genres from drama to thriller and raised the intended age rating. A focus group provided criticism that two different production logos did not match well and that a Christmas scene contrasted too much with the rest of the tense trailer. Based on this feedback, the filmmakers changed the production logos to be similar shades of blue and muted the Christmas scene's sound to make it feel more like a memory. The filmmakers found the audience perspective less biased than their own.

The document outlines plans for lighting, makeup, costumes, camera angles, sound design, and casting professional actors to help achieve the desired spooky atmosphere and suspense.
Hide and seek trailer analysis
The trailer establishes a mysterious and sinister mood through dull lighting in the first half. It then takes a scary turn with loud noises and disturbing behaviors from the girl. This suggests the film is about more than relationships, including elements of horror, fear, and suspense. Key aspects that enhance the frightening story are the emphasis on children and child-like behaviors, as well as symbols associated with children's games and horror tropes like dolls. The trailer builds tension through quick cuts and loud music before revealing the film's title and release date at the explosive climax.
Evaluation question 2
Our film represents social groups in a way that is conventional for the psychological thriller genre. There is a male killer antagonist and detectives trying to catch him, following the patterns seen in films like "Silence of the Lambs" and "Gone Girl". Teenagers of both sexes are killed off one by one, as often happens in horror and thriller films. The antagonist dresses all in black with a white shirt, representing death and darkness as villains traditionally do in films, while the posh white shirt suggests he is intelligent and calculating. A knife rather than a gun is used as the weapon to support the stereotype of horror killers and appear more menacing.

Various software programs like Photoshop and Premiere Pro were used to edit images and create the media pieces.

The student proposes a short horror film called "Asylum" set in a real-life asylum known for paranormal activity. They will create promotional posters and advertisements to place on billboards, buses, trains, and theaters. The poster features a grey-toned photo of the asylum building with a red-black title announcing the October 31st release date. The goal is to entertain audiences with a unique horror experience inspired by films from their mood board. Social media will also be used to advertise.
Rorys Evaluation Presentation Completed
Rory Parker created various media products for a course that followed conventions of real media in the horror genre. This included a magazine cover promoting a horror film with appropriate fonts, colors, and layout. Feedback indicated the cover was effective at conveying the horror genre. For a film trailer, conventions like ominous music and editing techniques were used. Audience research found that horror fans prefer films with death, violence and ambiguous endings. Modern media technologies supported the planning, production and evaluation stages.

The document discusses how the product develops conventions of real media products in its trailer, poster, website, and other elements. It examines trailers, posters, and websites for films like American Psycho, Glass, and Venom to incorporate conventions from those real products. Elements that were developed based on research include building tension across three acts in the trailer, incorporating critic reviews and character imagery on the poster, and including embedded trailers but not interactive elements on the website. The analysis of real media products helped shape each part of the product to match expectations of the psychological thriller genre.
Evaluation
- The group members constructed a film trailer for a hybrid genre (action comedy) film.
- The trailer used conventions like stereotyping females in a non-traditional role, covering up the antagonist's identity, and including company logos in the middle.
- Feedback on the trailer was gathered and areas for improvement were identified and addressed in reworking the trailer.
Media evaluation 2
The combination of the main horror trailer product and ancillary texts of a movie poster and magazine cover work well together to promote the trailer. The key villain character, Jordyn, is prominently featured in an iconic image in both the trailer and ancillary texts to create a recognizable horror icon. Color choices and layouts in the magazine cover were inspired by real film magazines like Total Film. Both the poster and magazine cover use a close-up black and white image of Jordyn to set a dark, unsettling mood for the psychological horror film.
Evaluation
The student created a teaser trailer, poster, and website for a horror film as part of their A2 media studies course. They conducted extensive research into existing horror film conventions to ensure their products adhered to typical codes and genres. Feedback from target audiences helped the student improve their teaser trailer by making scenes faster paced. A variety of media technologies were used at different stages, including YouTube for research, Windows Movie Maker for planning, and editing software to construct the teaser trailer.

A2 Media Evaluation - TEXT VERSION
This document contains Shaun Liddle's evaluation of his A2 Media Studies coursework, which included creating a horror film trailer and ancillary materials like posters and a magazine cover. He analyzed how his work used and challenged conventions of the horror genre. Audience feedback helped him improve his projects. Throughout the course, Shaun learned new skills using technologies like Photoshop, iMovie, Audacity, and blogs to research, plan, construct, and evaluate his work.

My media product uses and challenges conventions of real horror trailers and films. By analyzing many horror trailers, I incorporated common conventions like costume design, music, and locations. However, I broke conventions by making the killer a woman rather than a man. I also used normal teenage costumes rather than dark costumes typically seen in horror. While some conventions like codes around genre representation are followed, theories on narrative structure and character types are challenged as my story includes atypical elements.
What have you learned from audience feedback?
The document discusses how the author gathered audience feedback through questionnaires to evaluate and improve their media products for an A2 coursework assignment. Questionnaires were used to collect opinions on an ancillary task and moving image task from target audiences aged 15-30. Feedback highlighted both positive and negative aspects, which allowed the author to change elements that audiences disliked, such as reducing text on a magazine cover or adjusting scene lengths. Gathering this audience input helped ensure the final products better suited the needs and preferences of the intended viewers.
Horror Trailer Closed Questionnaire Results
The survey results showed that the horror trailer was well-received by the target audience. 100% of respondents liked the trailer, its name "Vengeance", and said they would see the film if it premiered in cinemas. While most also understood the genre, liked the characters and locations, some had preferences about the soundtrack, makeup or wanted something more original. But the majority feedback was positive overall.
Horror Trailer Closed Questionnaire
The document is a closed questionnaire about a horror trailer, asking respondents about their age, gender, and opinions on aspects of the trailer such as whether they liked it, found it easy to understand, liked the soundtrack, name, number of characters, idea of a female killer, costumes/makeup/props, range of locations, and whether they would see the full film in theaters.
Horror Trailer Open Questionnaire
The document is a questionnaire for viewers of a horror trailer to provide feedback on their age, gender, what they liked about the trailer, their favorite part, if anything should be changed, if it made them want to see the full film, how easy it was to understand the genre of the trailer, how the trailer relates to other promotional tasks, and any other horror films it compares to. Respondents are asked to fill in blanks or provide short written responses to multiple questions about the unidentified horror trailer.
Calendar for what to do!!
This document outlines a production schedule for February/March 2012 and March 2012. It shows the schedule for filming, uploading footage, editing, tightening any loose ends to make sure everything is done, and the premiere date during the last week of March 2012.
Audience Research Poster
This document discusses audience research conducted to determine which of four examples people preferred for a poster. The research presented the four examples to participants and tracked their preferences. The results showed that example four was the most preferred option and will be used as the final poster design.
Audience Research
The document discusses audience research conducted to determine which magazine readers prefer. Pie charts were created showing the results of asking a specific audience range which magazine they prefer. The results found that example one was the preferred magazine, so it will be used for the proper ancillary task.
Landscape Horror Poster Analysis
The landscape horror movie poster depicts an innocent-looking boy standing next to a girl with blood coming from her mouth and yellow eyes, representing a juxtaposition of good and evil. Its landscape orientation and use of dark and red colors to symbolize death and blood diverges from traditional portrait horror posters. The repetitive slogan is meant to become embedded in people's minds to promote the film.
Skills & Concepts
1) The document discusses Shaun Liddle's skills and concepts learned in AS and A2 Media Studies, including creativity, research and planning, digital technology, and using conventions from real media texts.
2) In AS Media Studies, Shaun learned skills like using Photoshop but felt they could have analyzed more source materials. In A2, they have conducted more research and planned roles for their group project.
3) Shaun gained experience using different technologies like cameras, editing software, and blogger. They have also learned how to analyze real media texts and apply conventions to their own work.
1st Draft Horror Trailer Storyboard
The document appears to be a draft of some kind. It contains no other information beyond the title "1st Draft", so a 3 sentence summary cannot provide any meaningful details about the content or purpose of the document. The document title "1st Draft" suggests it may be an early version of a longer work, but without seeing the actual content no conclusions can be drawn about the topic or key points being drafted.
PRODUCTION OF HORROR MAGAZINE
The document describes the process of designing a magazine cover for a horror film called "Vengeance". Key details include:
- Using a black background and darkening the image to represent the horror genre.
- Adding the title "PREMIERE" in white to indicate the type of magazine.
- Including the date, price, and text like "MASSIVE PREVIEW SPECIAL!" to make it appealing to readers.
- Featuring the film title in red and additional text about contents to draw in the target audience.
Dimension Production Company
Dimension Films will produce and distribute the horror trailer. While not the largest production company, Dimension Films has found success with horror franchises such as Halloween, Scream, and Piranha 3D. Dimension Films was founded in 1992 by Bob Weinstein and has experience producing popular horror and comedy films.
Photo Analysis
The photograph is effective for a horror film poster because it only shows the killer's lit up face without revealing anything else about the plot, maintaining simplicity. The black background represents the darkness and horror genre which typically uses this color scheme. The mask looks vaguely scary to audiences, indicating it is for a horror film.
Horror Photograph Analysis
This photograph makes a good horror movie poster as it only shows the killer's face lit up on a black background, giving away nothing else about the film while keeping it simple. The black background represents the horror genre and darkness, which is a typical convention for horror posters. From the poster, the audience can tell it is for a horror film as the mask looks vaguely scary.
Professional Photograph Analysis
This document analyzes and discusses the effectiveness of three horror movie posters. It notes that the first poster only shows the killer's face lit up against a black background, keeping the image simple while conveying the horror genre. It then analyzes a second poster showing a creepy character holding a phone to relate to the film's title of "One Missed Call." Finally, it discusses a third poster showing both the larger killer towering over the smaller victim at the bottom to demonstrate power dynamics and suggest vulnerability, while also depicting the film's setting and the killer's red eyes.
What makes a good photograph?
The document discusses a horror film poster photograph. It notes that the poster only shows the face of the killer, keeping the film details simple and not giving anything away. The black background signifies the horror genre and darkness. Only the killer's face is lit up, using lighting intentionally. Within the killer's eyes, another character can be seen screaming, another horror film convention.
Magazine Cover Analysis' - RESEARCH & PLANNING
The document analyzes a magazine cover promoting a horror film. It notes that the dark colors and clothing on the cover help set the horror genre. The character's blood-stained hand also conveys the genre. Small text is scattered around the cover to promote other magazine content and increase interest. Typical magazine cover conventions like large film titles are replaced with more realism, like barcodes and prices. This makes the cover look more like a real magazine.

Production of Horror Poster
- 1. Firstly I decided to change the opacity on the image to make it look darker to represent the genre of horror. I decided to use this image as the extreme close up shows the intense expression on the characters face.
- 2. I then added a black bar at the bottom of the poster with text showing the directors name, producers and the characters. I added this to highlight the ideology of the poster as I want it to look extremely realistic.
- 3. After this I decided to add the horror films slogan ‘JUSTICE IS REVENGE…’ and the release date of the film ‘October 2012’. I also made up a website for the film to make the horror poster more realistic.
- 4. I then decided to add the age certification which is a ‘15’ as the target audience for my horror trailer is 15-30. I also added the logo’s of the production and distribution companies which are ‘Dimension Films’ and ‘Newline Cinemas’.
- 5. I then added the title of the horror film which is the main aspect of the horror poster, this stands out as it is in the colour red which connotes blood therefore represents horror.
- 6. After this I changed the titles at the bottom of the screen to a dull grey colour because I felt they stood out to the audience to much. Finally I added some short reviews from popular newspapers and my actual magazine front cover, I added this to make the magazine look more realistic.
