Our film trailer uses and develops conventions of real media trailers. We include the production company logo at the start to establish trust, as is conventional. Throughout the trailer, we use intertitles to provide further narrative information, with white text on a black background as is typical. We place the film title "Deluded Elude" at the end to allow audiences to remember it, following convention. The billing block with credits for directors, actors, and crew is also included at the end, mirroring real media trailers. Overall, our trailer adheres to codes and conventions through these inclusion of these essential elements.

1. IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT
USE, DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE FORMS AND
CONVENTIONS OF REAL MEDIA PRODUCTS?

2. The start of a film trailer usually shows the production company logo. This is so that the audience can
recognise the logo and so that they trust it when watching films. This is conventional and for our film trailer
we did the same, this gave it a professional look and ensured that from the start of the trailer we were
conforming to codes and conventions of real media products.
This is our film trailer
production company
This is the Donnie Darko company.

3. INTERTITLES
Throughout the trailer we used intertitles as this is conventional
where the intertitles allow the audience to receive further
information about the narrative of the trailer. We used white text
in order for them to stand out on the black background which is
quite conventional in a film trailer. I think that the intertitles for
our trailer look professional and work well with the trailer.

4. FILM TITLE
I believe that our film trailer is conventional, it is eye catching and it also portrays the trailer
well due to “deluded” connotating with Morgan the main character within the trailer and the
connotations with “elude” due to it meaning trying to escape from the imaginary friend. I
believe it is eye-catching and it follows the codes and conventions of real media products.
We placed the film title at the end of the trailer due to this being the convention, it also
means that the audience are able to remember what the film is called after they have watched
the trailer.

5. BILLING BLOCK
The billing block consists of the films directors, actors, producers and the other crew members, it is
placed at the end of the trailer after the film title. It gives credit to the members who took part in
the trailer which is conventional and we also placed this after the film title. I believe that our billing
block represents a real media billing block and therefore looks professional.

6. CONCLUSION
Overall, I think that our film trailer does resemble a real trailer due to us
following the codes and conventions throughout where we have added all
the key aspects which makes a film trailer such as the production
company, the intertitles, the film title, release date, billing block.
Throughout the trailer we have conformed to the codes and conventions
where we have added a non-diegetic soundtrack and transitions between
the shots to ensure that the trailer flows. We have left the audience with
intellectual pleasures and we have given the audience emotional pleasures
when watching our trailer due to the mental health issues in which is
portrayed in our trailer.
