Evaluation Question 1 (Part 1)

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media:

My media product uses many forms and conventions of real media as our production is based on real media and how to develop on it and make it as real and as best we can. Some of the conventions we have used are production details, shots in different orders, footage that is not in the actual movie and audience certifications at the start of our trailer we have also used credits to explain the film slightly as we did not want to give away so much of the actual film in the trailer my group and me have also stuck to the conventions of film trailers by sticking to the length of a teaser trailer which is around a minute. Our video trailer production was meant to use and develop forms as opposed to challenging the conventions.

I also studied how other trailers are put in order and how different scenes of movies are used within the trailers to understand that once we had made a synopsis of a movie for ourselves it would not be as simple as just filming a short story and that there was certain conventions to follow for a trailer such as the fact that scenes in the trailer are not put in chronological order. My group has used many different conventions of a trailers within our trailer the conventions include the production details and an audience viewing certification. Our trailer also consists of differentiating shots and angles throughout all the different scenes of the trailer. Our media product more or less develops on conventions as our concept and ideas are similar to others within the market our films concept is revenge and is a psychological horror therefore have developed our trailer based on films such as the grudge and the ring which also are psychological horrors which contain the same types of antagonists and protagonists as our film idea and trailer production.

My production develops many forms of media as teaser trailers do not give a lot of the movie away as shown in previous posts where the trailers only give the audience a signification of characters and genre as opposed to giving away the story or the main plots and dilemmas in the film, Our production tries to develop this by showing shots of the film in different orders. My production also gives a strong sense of the genre this comes from the music used and different sound effects which follow the conventions of real media by using typical music and sound effects that represents the horror genre such as creaking doors, strings and wind noises, sounds are an effect way of setting a genre for a film or trailer for the audiences to get a sense of what type of film the trailer is trying to promote. This is shown in a previous post of the grudge trailer where strings are used effectively to set a scene and represent the genre of the film this is where our production has developed on real media as we have used different sounds shown in different trailers such as "The ring" and "The Grudge" and combined them in different scenes shown within our trailer to create a specific atmosphere.

below are URL's from previous posts i have done to express the ways in which i have developed real media in my production:

The above URL shows how I have tried to develop further on real media as i have analysed how The Ring correlates with my work this lets me understand how i can improve on my production based the improvements that could have been made in other films which in this case is The Ring
