This document discusses the development and use of conventions in various media products, including film trailers, posters, and magazines. It examines how certain techniques were used or challenged conventions to make the media stand out while still providing necessary information. For example, in one film trailer the rewind technique at the beginning was unconventional but gained attention. Overall the document aims to both follow standard conventions to appear professional but also experiment with challenging conventions in limited ways to make the media more interesting.
Trailer conventions
Although trailers vary in content depending on genre, they all follow certain rules. Trailers target specific audiences by when and where they are released. Every trailer includes the production company logo to establish credibility and appeal to certain genres. They also all display the release date to inform viewers when the movie will be in theaters. Additionally, every trailer must include the age rating to indicate appropriate audiences. Elements like quotes, director/actor names, and social media links are also often included to further promote the film. Sound is another essential element, using music, dialogue, or narration depending on the genre. Overall, trailers aim to appeal to target audiences and create interest using standardized elements.
Codes and conventions of a film trailer
A film trailer uses short clips and scenes from a movie to promote an upcoming film and attract audiences. Trailers typically show action scenes, establish characters and locations, hint at the plot without revealing too much, and end on a climactic moment to entice viewers. Conventions of trailers include including the production company logo to build reputation, specifying the film rating, using music and voiceovers to set tone and pace, and including the release date to motivate viewers to see the full film. Trailers are distributed through cinemas, television, and social media to promote films to different demographics.
Promotional package analysis
The document analyzes the promotional package for the film Inception. It discusses three key aspects: the trailer, poster, and press coverage. The trailer gives audiences a preview and allows them to form an opinion, while the poster provides intrigue to further research the film. Both the trailer and poster feature a physics-defying folded landscape scene to emphasize the mind-bending nature. Press coverage was also important, achieving critical acclaim in reviews and a unique Facebook game and YouTube video that related to the psychological thriller genre. Consistencies across the promotions, like a dark blue color scheme, bold sans-serif font, and portrayals of Leonardo DiCaprio in a sophisticated way, help craft the film's brand identity.

Radiohead used digital technology in their marketing strategy for 'In Rainbows' by releasing the album first as a digital download on their website, allowing fans to pay what they wanted including £0. This innovative strategy appealed to Radiohead's dedicated fan base who are interested in the band's original music. As a well-established band with critical and commercial success over several albums, Radiohead was able to create and execute this unique marketing strategy without a record label, having established trust in their artistic vision and independence from the commercial music industry.
Evaluation question 2
The document summarizes the target audience and style of a magazine for independent females aged 16-25. It aims to portray glamour with a more edgy perspective. The cover features a bold, sophisticated background with a model displaying contrasting "messy" hair and darker makeup paired with a girly top. Interior photos likewise contrast dark, "rock chick" styles with colorful patterns. The magazine appeals to those with both glamorous and rebellious sides.
Hair&makeup
The artist did hair and makeup for a magazine cover model, aiming for a rock chic look to relate to the magazine's theme while keeping it neutral for an elegant feel. With the hair, they went for a wild messy look to represent imperfection rather than the traditional media perfection that sets unrealistic standards.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Trailer convention
- 2. The first conventions I used in the trailer was the green screen. The green screen informs the audience as to who is eligible to view the trailer. The green screen is a common convention used in every movie trailer. The convention include s a website that gives you more information about the green screen and its use. My green screen says that this trailer is not suitable for viewers under 17 without a parent of adult guardian. I chose this rating as my trailer is a horror therefore I seen it best fit.
- 3. I used the Sony picture entertainment logo as it is a common convention to include production company logo and images to inform the audience who the movie is being produced and distributed by. This can influence the audience to watch the movie as they may acknowledge that the production company is well known for other good quality movies that they have previously enjoyed.
- 4. One of the conventions I used was a tagline to describe an aspect of the trailer to explain something . This convention can work in various ways, some trailers include it to explain the storyline, some use it to create intensity whilst some do not use it at all. I felt that putting a tagline here and there would help clear up the storyline and provide some answers for the audience .
- 5. A unique selling point that I included was the name of the cast in the movie. This helps promote the actors and may help people recognise the cast and therefore want to watch the movie as they may have recognised the actors from another movie they liked. This convention is widely used especially when big name actors are in the movie as this promotes them and makes the movie look good as the actors may be of high standards.
- 6. This unique selling point tells the audience of what other movies the producers have made therefore giving a reference to what they are capable of and proving that they are worthy of being watched. This promotes the mentioned movie as well and may remind people of the movie so they would go back and watch it, this would also be gaining production companies money and attention. This convention is useful for attracting an existing fanbase and encouraging them to watch this new movie.
- 7. The movie title is an important convention as the whole trailer revolves around it. The movie title also gives clues as to what the movie is about and the genre. The short title helps makes it easier to remember and will attach to the trailer therefore making the trailer recognisable and easier to remember as well. This convention is one of the most common as it is common sense to acknowledge the movie title as it informs the audience of what they have watched. It is also usually included at the end so it is almost the last thing that the audience remember watching.
- 8. The last and final convention included in my trailer is the blurb. This usually goes quite fast but it includes details such as the producers, actors and directors. It is an important informative text to show the credits of the people that have worked on the movie therefore to show that it is a good movie as it has been worked on. The blurb also incudes the release date that enables people to look forward to the movie and also create anticipation and excitement for the audience so they are more likely to watch it. the website included allow the audience to retrieve more information on the movie and the production logos again show who have produced and made the movie.
- 9. All the conventions used in the trailer have all had the purpose of promoting the trailer and proving to the audience how good and worthy is it of being watched . Secondary purposes are also to entertain the audience to make sure they have something to look forward to when watching the actual movie. I used conventions just as they would be used in real trailers to make my movie trailer as realistic as possible .
