Evaluation Question 1: In what ways do your media products use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? Film Trailer: My film trailer is quite typical of most common conventions that other horror trailers tend to have in them. For example, at the beginning of my trailer I have what all trailers and horror trailers have which is an warning...

I decided to remove the image from her pupil because I felt that it ruined the 'stare' of her eyes. I also felt it looked tacky and unnatural to I just decided to have the figure behind her. I also moved the release date below the credit block because I felt it looked more professional and conventional and as it was moved onto...
The last big change that I made to my magazine front cover was to use the offical logo from my film trailer as the 'Secret' title. Despite this font working well in my trailer, it was a bit thin for my magazine front cover, it also clashed with the pattern on the actresses top. To resolve this issue I used photoshop the get...

I decided to incorporate further influence from my trailer as I felt that it was lacking meaning and relation to my other products. I am still unsure on the image in her pupil, I have reduce the opacity to make it look more realistic to an actual reflection in a person's eye but I feel that it is unclear as to what it...
Because my trailer was lacking tension and fear, which is often a given in horror trailers, I decided to incorporate some fear into my trailer. I didn't want it to be too obvious so I used an overlay method to put in a silhouette of the 'fear' i my trailer which is the 'thing' that Flick talks to. The silhouette that I have...
"The main title text could be a little larger as it can become lost in the picture. If you set a small black line around the text it can make it stand out more." ...
Due to the fact that the current outcome of my trailer lacked the 'fear factor', I decided to incorporate some new shots into my trailer. I filmed my two main characters under different lighting to flash up throughout my trailer to increase the tension and make more of an impact on my audience. I then decided to introduce the weapon that would be...

My film trailer is rated 12 and my 'film' is rated 15. This is due to my trailer containing hints to violence from young children. I if a young child was to watch my trailer they may feel that because the characters in the trailer are carrying out these acts, it is therefore acceptable for them to replicate these acts. The Bobo Doll...
My current draft of my film trailer is coming together quite nicely. However, it is still lacking on the pace, tension and 'fear factor'. To make me trailer have more impact on the viewer, I will need to organise and plan more filming. This extra filming will contain jump scares from close ups of my characters faces and added sounds effects. I will...
Magazine: Move the masthead down and add some cover lines above the title – this is conventional for the mag. You probably need to move your image to be more central, and swap the cover lines from the right side to the left. Move ‘First Look’ up to top right under the masthead OR move the main headline to the centre and have...
Since added my timelapse I have decided to make a rather drastic change to my story. I felt as if my trailer wasn't telling a story or showing 'what could happen' so I implemented a change into the ending of my 'story' to give my trailer more structure and flow. My trailer now has a beginning, middle and end to represent different elements...
Since my last draft, I have added the issue information with pricing for UK and USA as Empire magazine itself is sold in both of the counties but primarily the UK. All of the red text on the front cover is to match the masthead to give it a stronger house style. The titles I used for my 'feature articles' are just titles...
I have decided to use an existing magazine masthead to make it look more like a real magazine and more professional. I have decided to make the font I have added so far the same colour as the masthead to give it a stronger house style, it also stands out a lot on the front cover as I have lots of dull contrasting...
I haven't used any filter on this image, the shadows were created from natural window light as it made her skin look more natural and less ghostly. The studio lights completely washed her out and hid all of her freckles which I didn't want to hide. I then did a similar technique to this image as I did with my film poster; I...
As I broke common conventions with the placement of my film title, I decided to still to convention with my bottom credits and logo. This mainly due to them being slighting more difficult to read anyway so I avoided any more difficultly from an awkward placement. I also changed the font again on my film title because I felt the other one was...

The most recent additions to my trailer is the footage of Flick talking to 'someone', sounding scared and my timelapse of the sunset to show time passing. My timelapse was rather awkward to edit as it is in total 8 whole minutes of footage so I had to speed it up so it looked smooth rather than jumpy. This was very difficult to...
The current stage that my poster is at is my adding the film title. I am doing this first as it is the most important element of a film poster, besides the main image. The reason my title isn't in the traditional placement of the centre of the image is because I wanted to break this convention, to give my poster a unique...

Original image with natural window lighting and no editing. Second image has had the brightness altered to take away some of the harsh light, that was reflecting on the skin. I then experimented with the hue and saturation to give the impression of more controlled lighting. I also added extra freckles to the forehead to make it look more solid. I added more...

The Grand Budapest Hotel is a 2014 comedy film directed by Wes Anderson. This poster can be seen as postmodern as it is heavily influenced by the 1930's, especially through the way all of the characters look. Each of the characters are on a key label to signify the hotel, the characters are also being represented as 'objects' that make up the hotel...
