  1. In what ways does your Media product use, develop or challenge forms and Conventions of real media products?

  2. RESEARCH • As part of the research and planning stage of my coursework, I analysed trailers, magazine covers and film posters that were part of the horror genre and noted the typical conventions of horror. • Then I figured out general conventions of both film posters and magazine front covers as well as teaser trailers. • This gave me a general idea of what to include in my own products to form a real media product.

  3. My media products USE… Film Poster Mag Front Cover Large main image Billing block Tagline Social Networking Title Release Date Showed the genre Barcode Date Issue Number Price Strap line Smaller cover lines Masthead Large Main image Hook (i.e. Competition) TYPICAL CONVENTIONS OF MAGAZINE FRONT COVERS, TEASER TRAILERS AND FILM POSTERS Teaser Trailer Short quick cuts/transitions between shots Production/Distribution Logo Title/Release Date of film Tagline/conveyed genre

  4. My media products USE… Mag Front Cover Teaser Trailer Zombies Low lighting Blood Scary sound Short /quick cuts Lots of red/black/white Which connote danger/blood etc A horror style background e.g. Which Creates a horror theme TYPICAL CONVENTIONS OF HORROR Horror style background Blood Contrast between the colours red/black/white (which are Associated with horror)

  5. CHALLENGED • Teaser – Teasers analysed were generally 30 seconds long minimum. Howevermy teaser trailer was shorter than 30secs. This is because I thought it would increase excitement more for the film than regular teasers as it would want you to find out more. • Poster – Film posters tend to give a outline of the plot of the film. However I didn’t convey the plot completely in my film poster which most posters do (e.g. 28 days later). The reason for this is that I wanted to hold suspense and intrigue audience yet still express the genre and I think I did this well.

  6. DEVELOPED • MAGAZINE - Some magazine covers do show the main creature (usually the strongest) on the magazine front cover. • However I developed the idea by showing a zombie that wasn’t a ‘main’ zombie but just a common one. I wanted to retain the suspense and not give away too much of the film. I feel like I did this and it would pay off as more people would enjoy the film morewhich benefits in many ways such as they would be more likely to recommend the film to others (so more people would see it).
