Evaluation: Question 1- In what ways does your media products use, develop and challenege forms and conventions of real media products?

Teaser Trailer:

      
      USE-

• Production/distribution company at the beginning.
  
• Action, fast pace
• Title and 'Coming Soon'                                                   

      


      DEVELOP-

• Shows we have developed our trailer rather than just using typical horror conventions. 
  
• Based on a social network- Facebook.

      








       CHALLENGE-

•  Show more than normal teaser trailer.
•  Makes you wonder is she the 'last girl' at the end.
• Mixture of social network ad horror may make it a reality horror.
• Typography effect to annotate the reality complex of the trailer and the dangers of social networking sites.   

 POSTER:

  USE-

•   Researched the social networking site poster and seen the use of the computer tool bar, (search engine) and added my own effect with my title and tagline.  Also the production company and website is at the bottom on the poster.  

DEVELOP-

• Different images, mosaic into main characters face. 
• Main image of main characters face (Beaten up)

CHALLENGE-

•  Mosaic of main characters face although i did see this on the film magazine using my own images i create this myself in photoshop.
• Set up like a facebook page - tagline. 
• And not showing cast is a challenge for my poster. 

Magazine Front Cover:

        USE- 

• Headline of magazine at the top of page, story's down the side.

Main image in centre, main film headline in middle of the page (large font)

DEVELOP-

•  Subtle colours, rather than bright colours. Kept the colours from my original colour sceme on poster and trailer.

CHALLENGE- 

• By using the main image as an eye, and duplicating the image out of the film where shes tagged in an image being tortured. Not like usually magazine, can be said to be a challenge.
• Adding different fonts to add the magazine cover.
• Using colours which match the connotation of my film.
•  

 

Research & Planning- Progress Magazine 1

• I have decided to change the colour scheme? Do you think it looks better?
• I have decided to take the red out and replace it with the blue to give connotations of what my trailer is about.
• I have also made the white more brighter in the eye to make the main image stand out more.

Research & Planning- Progress Magazine

This is another draft of my magazine, i have added the red circle and changed some fonts and colours which have connotations of other magazines. I have left to add story's down the other side, i am also looking at lighting the image slightly. If anyone has any ideas/comments please feel free to help me :)

Research & Planning: Unused clips

• While filming all scenes we had a lot of unused footage to give us a range of shot types angles, and camera positions to make sure we can make are trailer look the most professional and give us vary of what clips to use. Throughout this blog i will upload short clips of unused footage.

Magazine Research- connotations

Research and Planning- Rough cut of film trailer

Research and Planning- Next idea for magazine

 

I zoomed in to the image i took of Georgia, as i wanted to use her eye and opaque the facebook image she gets tagged in, in the trailer on to her eye so it looks like a reflection, i did this as it keeps it quite clean and simple for my style of magazine, but also gives readers an inset to what my films about.

 This is what my magazine looks like when i have used the correct eye and added my title i used a gradient round the eye to make it look more spooky.

This is neally my final idea for my magazine, i decided to keep the font for my film quite simple as it relates to my type of magazine, i also used the colour blue as it is used a lot as its the facebook blue colour, to begin with i was going to use red but then i asked for feedback off my fellow students. I used the typical conventions of a normal magazine with the 3 colour based red white and blue.

Research and Planning- 1st draft of magazine

This is the my first draft of my magazine, when i was going to use the computer background as my main image, i decided that when i had took the image and cropped it i was not to keen on the idea.

Planning and Research- Progress Poster

I have now added my production logo on to the poster.

Planning & Research: Filming

• Today we filmed the scene f the girl on facebook and unexpected gets tagged in a photo of her friend being tortured, we decided to do this scene as it reveals how people find out about Louise being kidnapped.
• This is the actor release form, the actress was my partner Laura but we still did this as it makes the trailer professional.

Planning & Research: Location Recee

• This is the location we filmed the girl being tagged in a photo of her friend 'Trevor West' we decided to do it , in my friends bedroom as it makes the mise en scene relate to the scene as its homely and shes checking her facebook like mostly in her bedroom.

Reserach and Planning: images for magazine

I used the SLR camera for the images for my magazine, i did this as the images on magazines are really clear and professional. The first 4 images are of the main actress Georgia who plays the young teenage who gets kidnapped i decided i wanted her face natural rather than what she looked like when getting tortured so it reflects on before she met the killer on facebook, i warped the image into eye to show the audience what my film is about an relate it to a social network.

planning and reserach-Poster final

I listened to the feedback i received on where i should place my 'coming soon' and i decided to use the same banner but move the title of the film to the other side, at the bottom i have put the website and production team i have got to add my logo which i have produced for my production team

Research and Planning- Poster audience feedback evaluation

• The feedback i have received has been very useful and i have acknowledged what they have suggested.
• Firstly by my mosaic image i uploaded my image on to the social network Facebook where i have over 1000 friends this helped me a lot with feedback in what genre it is and everyone knew what and has a taster to the trailer. 
• I asked if they think i should add other computer bar tool and insert coming soon many agreed, many evaluated on what they thought the trailer was about just by looking at the image this showed that the poster i had produced did its intentions. 
• Also people commented on it may not be clear enough the image so used the brightness/contrast effect on Photoshop to help me achieve this.

Planning and Research- Poster feedback

This is the feedback i've got off my facebook profile for my poster.

I have took it to account the feeback i have been given and experimented with the feedback.

I am glad my poster by the image i produced has made my audience know what the film i am advertising is about.

This feedback has helped me a lot.

Research and Planning: Unused Clips

Throughout filming i have filmed various shot types/positions to gives us a various number of shots to make the trailer look better and compare ad contrast the positions to make the trailer look better. Throughout filming i will upload short films of unused footage we do not use for are trailer to show other various cinematography.

Research and Planning- Poster

I am struggling where i should put my coming soon?

and what sort of font i should use?

Any feedback guys :)

Research and Planning - Research

• Whilst researching particular genres i found this new film 'Chat Room' which is some what similar to my own trailer.
• As its a horror linked to a social network site although there story is completely different it does give us some ideas on how to progress on ares.

Research and Planning: SLR camera

Today we tok pictures in and around college using and SLR camera and a digital one, we did this to compare the quality, we found out that SLR cameras are much more advanced and better quality than digital images, i have uploaded a example ^^^ :)

Research and Planning: Production Logos.

 These are my 2 production company logos which will be placed on the trailer and my film poster, u have produced two horror production logos to help promote my trailer as these would of published many other horror films similar to mine.

Research & Planning: Fonts for Title

These are some ideas i created on photoshop for my title of my film trailer. I decided to stick with the bottom sensation as that's the facebook font, and i think this related most to are horror instead of using a typical horror font, this makes it more realistic.
