The document discusses conventions used in movie trailers, posters, and magazines. For trailers, it notes they use quick clips and sneak peaks to entice audiences while avoiding long dialog scenes. Trailers also aim to set an ominous tone through lighting, music, and exaggerated violence. Text is used to provide context and color correction makes shots appear scarier. Fades are used to transition clips and create suspense. For posters, the conventions are including the main characters' names and avoiding plot details. Movie magazine covers typically feature the title of their main feature story and a close-up photo of the leading actor to draw viewers in.

2. The conventions of Movie Trailer
While doing my research I found out all of the things that movie
producers do in their movie trailer to entice the audience into the
cinema to watch the movie. These include things like showing the
audience sneak pecks of the film to get audience want to see the
movie when it comes out. Another is using small fast paced clips of the
film instead of long slow paced clips with lots of dialogue in. Also in
the movie trailer I made sure that the location was conventional of the
horror genre by filming it in a secluded environment like so many
other horror movies are. Also the environment we were going to film
at needed to have good lighting but not to light that it wasn’t scary but
not to dark so you can’t see anything. When we were editing the
trailer we adjusted the video feed so that it appeared whiter and more
over exposed. The reason for this is because it signifies the violence
used in the particular scene in the trailer. This is a big convention of a
horror movie is because violence is not allowed on public television so
is used a lot in movies instead.

Another convention that we implemented into our trailer was
the use of text screens to give the audience a better idea of was
is happening. This is conventional of a teaser trailer because it
replaces the use of a audio narrative and makes the trailer seem
scarier. We also used colour correction in most shots because
the original shots contained to much colour so we made them
darker so that it made them seem scarier. The final main
convention that we used was the use of fade to white and fade
to black. The reason that we use these techniques was because
they seemed the only way in which we could made the trailer
continue to be scary and to also use the effect as a time lapse to
give the audience a scope of what is happening in the film but in
small interesting clips not in large uninteresting clips.

5. The conventions of Movie Poster
When I did my ancillary research I learnt about the different
things that movie posters use to entice their audience in to
watch the film. The first convention that I learnt about was that
movie posters have the names of the main characters on them
somewhere and I believe I have achieved this because of the
way I have put the production text on the poster at the bottom
and then the second point was that any movie posters never
give away any information relating to the movie. By doing these
things I have made sure that the customers are going to be
enticed into watching the film when it is released.

10. The conventions of Movie Magazine
When I did my ancillary research I found that on the front covers
of most movie magazines they have a main cover line that
shows what film is going to be the main feature in that issue.
Also when the magazine a particular featured film it will
normally show a close-up of the main character in the film and
this is will be the picture on the cover of the issue.
