The poster, radio trailer, and viral marketing campaign all utilize similar themes of mystery and tension seen in the film to promote synergy across the materials. Research was conducted into effective promotional strategies, and tests with audiences found the poster and radio trailer successfully conveyed the intended thrilling and mysterious tones of the film. Minor tweaks to the radio trailer were suggested, but overall the combination of materials cohesively promoted the film's key themes and narrative elements.
The document discusses the use of fonts, colors, and other stylistic elements across a film poster, magazine cover, and teaser trailer for a film called "Reverie." There is consistency in using a red font for the film title across all pieces, while other fonts vary stylistically depending on the needs of each ancillary task. Character expressions also differ slightly between the poster and magazine to suit the tone and audience of each medium. Overall, the combination of main product and ancillary tasks effectively promotes the film through clear visual links tied to its mystery genre themes.
The document discusses a media product created by the student consisting of a movie poster, magazine front cover, and teaser trailer for a horror film called "All Hallows Eve." The student analyzed how their media product uses conventions of real media forms and genres. Various software programs like Photoshop, Piknik, and Adobe Elements were used to construct, research, plan, and evaluate the different elements of the media product.
The document discusses a media promotion package for a new horror film including a teaser trailer, magazine front cover, and movie poster. It analyzes how each component uses conventions of real media products in their respective genres and how media technologies like Photoshop, Piknik, and Adobe Elements were used to construct, research, plan, and evaluate the project. The marketing mix of the three promotional products is intended to gain wide coverage and sell the film through different marketing channels.
There are several ways our media products use and develop conventions from real media. We borrowed camera angles, lighting, and sound from influences like The Ring and Hide and Seek. However, we also challenged some conventions - our trailer lacked voiceovers and dialog, and our poster's title was at the top rather than bottom. Overall we aimed to conform to general elements of each format to appear authentic while also adding original elements to challenge conventions.
This document analyzes how a student film opening for a thriller genre film both follows and deviates from typical thriller opening conventions. It follows conventions through the use of an antagonist wearing dark colors, props like earpieces and briefcases, an urban location filmed at night, suspenseful music, and a plot twist. However, it deviates by having female protagonists rather than male, younger main characters rather than middle-aged, and filming the location at night for lighting effects rather than typical daytime filming. The opening both compares to and deviates from real thriller openings in its characters, style, and plot.

This document discusses a group's choice to have Lionsgate distribute their film. Lionsgate is known for distributing major franchises like The Hunger Games and Twilight. The group feels Lionsgate could effectively distribute their mainstream action thriller film. The film may appeal to young adults aged 16-25 and have a big budget to film scenes in London. Investors could fund the film due to its creative story. Lionsgate's experience distributing films appealing to young adults makes it a good fit to distribute this group's film.
The document discusses how media technologies have changed over time and their impact on creating films. It provides examples of how filmmaking technologies used by the author have progressed from Adobe Premier 6.5 and mini DV tapes in previous years to uploading footage straight from memory cards using Adobe Premier Pro CS5. Various websites, software programs, and equipment used at different stages of researching, planning, filming and editing are described, highlighting how media technologies now make high quality film production more accessible.
The document provides feedback on a magazine cover, teaser poster, and teaser trailer created by students for their media production on the psychological thriller film "Truth Untold", praising elements like the effective combination of styles across the different media pieces and realistic shots in the trailer while also noting some criticisms of unrealistic shots.
The document provides an evaluation of a media product's magazine cover. It summarizes how the magazine cover uses and challenges conventions of real magazines. Specifically, it aims to replicate the style of the "Sight & Sound" magazine cover by following conventions like font, layout, and close-up images. While most elements copy the real magazine, some creative choices were made like using a single color scheme and only two fonts to maintain consistency across the product. Overall, the evaluation demonstrates an attempt to adhere to real magazine conventions while incorporating some original design decisions.
The document discusses the production of a media campaign for a film called "The Package" including the creation of a trailer, magazine cover, and poster.

The student created a film magazine, poster, and trailer to promote their fictional film "Infection".
They received feedback on the trailer from friends aged 17-18 who are the target audience, and from media studies teachers. The feedback helped the student learn how effectively they conveyed the thriller genre conventions and how the trailer and campaign could be improved.
The student distributed a survey to collect structured feedback on how people responded to the trailer, which will help them evaluate the success of communicating the intended message and themes. The consistent color scheme, imagery, and fonts across all campaign elements effectively linked the materials together as a cohesive promotion.
The document evaluates how a media product uses conventions of real media. It summarizes a student project that created a magazine cover and movie poster for the film "Fraternity." The cover and poster effectively represent the film as an action thriller through their visual style, use of weapons/danger, and mysterious characterization of the main character seeking revenge. Both the main project and supplemental materials capture the film's tone and follow conventions of their real-life counterparts.
The document discusses a media product created by the student - a teaser trailer for a film called "Pursuit". It provides feedback on how the trailer uses conventions of the thriller genre and compares it to typical teaser trailers.

real media products?

7. Themes/Narrative
In our trailer, we was able to develop and challenge the typical forms and
conventions of a typical thriller genre trailer.
Four friends are taking a road trip. They end up taking a wrong turn down
an abandoned road and suddenly the car breaks down. They see a figure
in the distance so one the of the girls decides to get out. She pauses half
way and slowly starts to back away and runs away screaming. In time the
girls get split up and a bad situation occurs.
Our plot is not a typical thriller theme as it is part horror. We have also got
all female characters when usually it’s all males. However, the female
characters are seen as weaker and more as an easy target which our
trailer gives out
8. Iconography
The iconography we have used were typical horror thriller elements.
The characters all wore casual clothing. The white clothing represents their youth
and innocence. Whereas the red trousers worn by one of the characters suggests
that danger is lurking around along side the black outfit represents darkness,
doom and death.
Other props that we used were rope, fake blood and shredded clothing.
9. Setting/Audio-Visual Style
For our setting we used a secluded pathway within a forest like
area. We used this as it was not only fitted to our film title ‘The
Unknown Path’ but also followed the conventions of isolation of
characters in the horror thriller genre.
Our trailer was visually interesting as it had good use of
iconography, camera shots, music which built up suspense and an
eery feeling within the audience.
Through the use of camera shots, we created a
personal/documentary feel to our movie through the use of hand
held camera creating panic amongst the audience. We also use a
canted angle shot of one the characters looking tortured leaving the
audience wondering what has happened and if she is good or evil.
10. 2) How effective is the combination of your main
product and ancillary texts?
11. The combination of our main product and ancillary texts is
very effective as an overall campaign. This is due to our
consistent use of the same font ‘FF Confidential’, black and
red colour scheme along with the one image being re-
invented in the ancillary products as well as in the main
product. This combination of our main product alongside our
ancillary products show the consistency and the link between
the three making them work every effectively as an overall
campaign.
12. We used the same image which is reoccurring in our main
product however, we re-invented it making it work every
effectively in showing that it belongs with our main product.
For our main
product we
stuck with using
the same font
‘FF Confidential’
and also stuck

scheme.
13. These stills from

and font as our
ancillary products,
showing
consistency in our
products creating
an effective
campaign.
14. 3) What have you learned from your audience
feedback?
15. For our audience feedback we showed our trailer to a group of mixed males and females
aged 12 – 19. We chose these ages to get an idea of what certificate it would be by how it
affected people. We also asked a few member of staff for their opinion expanding our target
audience and seeing if our movie would appeal an older age group.
Amy, 12 – “I couldn’t really understand what was happening. I think it was too old for me.”
Charlotte, 15 – “I really liked the idea of the film and I can’t wait to see the actual film. It was
really interesting!”
Scott, 18 – “I enjoyed it however I could predict what would happen in the actual film. It may
be too young for me.”
Mr Todd – “It was exhilarating”
Mr Farnsworth – “It was fantastic. Absolutely superb.”
16. We gave out this questionnaire to 16 students, male and female of ages 12 – 19.
1. Did you enjoy the trailer?
2. What would you rate it on a scale of 1-10? 1 being bad & 10 being excellent
3. Did you understand what the storyline was about?
4. Could you tell who the main character was?
5. What certificate would you classify this film as?
6. Would you go to see this film after watching the trailer?
17. After we received the questionnaires back, we counted up the results.
1. 13 out of 16 students agreed that they enjoyed the trailer.
2. Most of the students answered they would rate the trailer between 6 – 9.
3. Most students said that they had a clear understanding of the storyline.
4. Majority of the students knew who the main character was.
5. The certificate of the film would be a 15.
6. It was more of the female students who wanted to carry on watching the film.
18. From our feedback, we have learnt that the majority of the students that
viewed our trailer and wished to watch the movie were mostly female.
They were mostly in the age category of 15 – 23.
Upon reviewing our feedback, we decided that our main target audience
would be females age between 15 – 23, however, our movie also has an
appeal to an older male audience.
As we used the typical horror forms and conventions for a horror thriller
movie, this already allowed us to have a set target audience. For example,
the sinister look given by the use of blacks, reds and whites in our fonts
along with the use of black and blood in our movie alongside the tortured
character sets our trailer at a 15 rating.
19. 4) How did you use media technologies in the
construction and research, planning and
evaluation stages?
20. Research!
Before planning our poster, magazine and trailer we had to do some research. We did most
of research based on the horror thriller genre. We looked into a variety of movies, posters
and magazine covers such as Sorority Row, The A-Team, Sucker Punch, Mission Impossible 4,
Four Brothers to become aware of the conventions of these.
For the trailer, we mainly used the Internet. We spent many lessons looking over horror and
thriller trailers on YouTube. YouTube helped us as it enabled us to pause and go back and
forth between shots which we were then able to analyse and use in our work. These trailers
were horror thrillers such as Orphan, The Strangers, Scream and The Last House On The Left.
We looked at the music and how it was effective to each shot and built up a suspenseful
atmosphere, the type of shots, how the characters were portrayed and how the overall
trailer successfully achieved creating a exhilarating atmosphere.
For the magazine and poster we used the school’s Intranet to access past students work via
www.warrencomprehensivemedia.blogspot.com, the Internet to search for inspiration along
with a variety of magazines and poster. We used websites such as www.comingsoon.net
www.idmb.com , to look up previous Empire and Sight & Sound covers along with movie
teaser posters and theatrical posters. Here, we looked at the layout, images and fonts that
were used and the effect they created. These websites were effective as they allowed us to
look into a variety of campaigns at once for previous and upcoming movies.
21. Planning!
After research was collected, we began to think about several ideas we could produce an
idea of what we wanted to do.
We then decided on a final idea of what we wanted to do.
We first wrote out a shooting script where we planned out what would be said in the trailer,
what the captions would say and iconography. We also drew up a story board.
Once we had finalised our idea’s and had a clear idea of which direction we wanted to take
our campaign, we uploaded our work onto www.warrena2sear.blogspot.co.uk and continued
to do so throughout our entire project.
Our final trailer however did not however go as we had planned but we improvised and
created an even better trailer than we had originally anticipated.
After planning our synopsis we then looked into our magazine and poster ideas then, drew
up what our poster and magazine cover would look like.
Our poster and magazine cover however also did not go as we had planned and we adapted
our magazine and poster cover to match our new trailer.
22. Construction!
When constructing our trailer, we used the software Adobe Premiere 6.5 to edit and create
the trailer. We had also used this software for our AS work so luckily we were all familiar with
it making it easier four us to construct our trailer. We came across a few complication, such
as the group coming to a decision on what type of music best suited the trailer. We were
able to agree on which music to use by testing out all the types of music we all thought were
best suited and then came on a joint decision as to which we all agreed best suited our
trailer.
Before we could do any of this we first had to re-shoot some of our footage and add some
more. This is because when we were looking back at our original footage we saw that we
needed some improved shots as our original shots were not adapted to our new script.
23. Construction!
When making our trailer we used the software Adobe Premiere 6.5. The first few shots of our
trailer are in order so it starts to make sense however when it hits the peak, we mixed up all
our shots. The pace of shots was also important to consider in the production of our trailer.
During the start, the pace was slow after each shot is paused, which looked like a picture was
being taken which made it aware to the viewers that we’re the main characters. Captions
then appeared and as there was four of us it worked well with the four words, ‘four girls, one
nightmare’. After the word ‘nightmare’, the music kicks in and the pace speeds up showing
many shots of the different scenes that took place. ‘The Unknown Path’ appears and pauses
for a few seconds and then changes to a shot of Regdeep at the window. This shot is quick
which should make the audience jump.
24. Magazine editing!
To start off we had to come up with an idea of what our magazine image
would be. Our original image include all four members of the group
standing united, holding a mask. We did this as it was visually strong as
an image and suggested that the girls had been a lot together but had a
secret to hide. We got inspiration for this from the Sorority Row and A-
Team cover. However, after deciding it was not as strong as an image as
we hoped, we then took out the mask as it gave away too much and look
amateur. But due to the changes in our trailer, we chose a different
image all together that was more suited to our new trailer. Our new
image was of only one of the girls looking like she had been dragged
through hell which should make the audience wonder what happened.
To edit our image, we placed it onto Paint Shop Pro 7 and Adobe
Photoshop CS3. We played around with the tools, such as the ‘lasso
tool’ and eraser, in attempt to make the central image stand out against
the background and the rest of the Empire cover but not too much as we
wanted it to look professional.
25. Magazine editing!
After collecting a group of Empire magazines, we then played around with the
layout to see what fitted our image best. We then settled for a similar layout as
the Empire cover for the Mission Impossible 4 campaign. However we gave our
magazine cover a horror thriller movie theme and changed the colours around.
We ended up using the colours red, which and black. The font we used, we got
from www.picnik.com. It is called ‘FF Confidential’ which gave our text a crooked
and eerie effect. We were consistent with the type of font we used with our
campaign effectiveness and it helped establish our trailer as a horror thriller. We
placed our text in the centre of the page as it followed the typical conventions of
an Empire magazine and this is what we was trying to achieve.
To keep with our horror thriller themed magazine cover, all articles and images
were all horror related. For our banner we included images of The Woman in
Black, The Devil Inside and Chronicle. These were fitted to our cover as it gave it
sinister and drew more attention to our central image.
In the end we were able to successfully achieved a special edition empire cover
by following all the typical forms and conventions for an empire magazine.
26.
27.
28. Poster editing!
For our poster, we first drew up an image of the back of the four girls looking down a long
pathway however, as we changed our magazine cover to fit our new trailer, we had to adjust
our poster image to fit them to have a successful campaign. We then looked at images on the
Internet and found inspiration from a The Last House on the Left poster. We then based our
poster on this.
Our new poster image became a blend of the pathway, an image of Regdeep crawling in the
distant for help looking like she’s getting away from hell and a medium shot of her which is
the same picture that we used in the magazine. On Adobe Photoshop CS3, we took all three
images, cropped them and then made them look ghostly. We blended the edge to make it
look like a car head light coming across this tragedy which occurred which relates to the
trailer where the car broke down.
The images were placed on a black background to the right so on the left we filled up it up
with text. We used the same font, ‘FF Confidential’ for the film title, date and website and
the same colours as the magazine cover. This left our overall poster with a strong effect as it
lures in an audience and makes them wonder what could have possibly have happened.
29.

31. Evaluation!
To create our evaluation we started it up on Microsoft Office PowerPoint
2003. We looked back at all of our work from when we started the
project. After looking back on our campaign, we had to answer four
questions. These questions are; “in what ways does your media product
use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media
products?”, “how effective is the combination of your main product and
ancillary texts?”, “what have you learned from your audience feedback?”
and “how did you use media technologies in the construction and
research, planning and evaluation stages?”. In these we explained our use
of various technologies such as the Internet, Intranet, Paint Shop Pro 7
and Adobe Premiere 6.5. We looked in detail how these were helpful and
effective in making our successful campaign.
