2. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? 3. Discuss ways our teen drama incorporates generic conventions and identify specific ones, how do they challenge these conventions?
4. Our film trailer uses forms of a real trailer, to start with, we used the conventional green screen certificate at the beginning of the trailer, and chose the producing sign of Universal mid way through our trailer. 5.

12. How effective is the combination of our Main product and Ancillary tasks? 13. Film trailer with ancillary task, film poster: Why are film posters made? Film posters are made in order to publicise a film and make a specific audience understand what type of genres and themes are included.In search of what our poster should consist of we looked at one similar trailer and poster that we researched in our STAsThe Notebook Screen shot of The Notebook trailer The Notebook Film poster We noticed that both the poster and the trailer focused on this idea of the central characters alone in the rain. This clear link shows the audience a defining and compelling clip that entices the audience to see the film so we decided to do a similar thing... 14. Our Film poster and its relationship to our trailer In our trailer we had moments which showed emotion and stood out visually none ore than our silhouette shot. So we pictures with the intention of using Photoshop to black them our in comparison to the background. We took new images of this rather than taking a clip straight out of our trailer because it was very tight framing and did not have the arch of the back of either character so would not have the desired effect. We considered this to work well as it relates to the audience that these two characters are totally separate from the rest of the world as they look into each others eyes, and how what they have is so special. This Silhouette in our trailer wasA moment that really symbolisedhow these characters are extremelypassionate about each other, as it isthe first shot we see them together in arelationship sense. This image in both ouradvertisement based products work well incorrelation with one another because it tells theaudience how their relationship is the central focus of the film. This also tempts the audience to want to seethe film because her face is blacked out and not shown. There is a clear connection between the characters before they even see one of them enticing us to want to see her face. 15. In terms of what we give away to the audience through the poster and the trailer itself, we decided to go with different approaches. For the poster we wanted to add an air of mystery with such a harsh and powerful title. The point of this was that it challenges the words ideology, the fact it is written so freely amongst images of freedom such as the field and open sky in the background. This makes the audience question why is this love forbidden and implies that if they were allowed to be together that they would feel the freedom that the poster conveys. The trailer in contrast plainly shows what is forbidden and why it is and focuses instead on building up questions in the audiences mind about whether they can escape the problem. We felt that this would work well as it shows that their is more complexity to this story after seeing both tasks. In our research we found that an interesting story is one of the largest selling points especially with a teen romance. 16. Concluding, for our poster and main task that they work well together in advertising the film forbidden as they both quickly display to the audience the themes of love and intimacy from the way the characters are close together. Also how the poster poses questions that the trailer can answer and that suggests that to undrstand the trailer you would have to see the film. 17. Film trailer with ancillary task, Magazine cover: Why and how do new film releases have magazine coverage and how have we used our knowledge to produce ours?
This use of the word back suggests repetition and that he is a well known star and that he must be good in order to make such a big deal over someone's return to the big screen. This suggests how good the film must be for such a known actor to be associated with it. The actors name is in a large font and bright red in contrast to the rest of the page showing he is the most importantthing in this magazine demonstrating his highervalue. The only other thing on the page which relates to this is the word win which could suggest him and his films winning persona. Josh tells us gives the reader the impression that this idolised person is telling us gossip and makes us feel luck to be personally told THIS RELATES TO THE TRAILER....becausethe actors names have been shown on screen representing that these people are important showing a direct link between the film and the social world. The image that the actors have willingly gone and spread the word about the film suggests to potential viewers it is something worth spreading the word about. 18. Film trailer with ancillary task, Magazine cover: Why and how do new film releases have magazine coverage and how have we used our knowledge to produce ours? THIS RELATES TO THE TRAILER....becauseweaim at our target audience in two ways. firstthrough the trailer and giving them themes and ideas which they need such as sex and violence. And secondly by showing the kind of style of the magazine and the actor who are willing to collaborate with the filmdisplaying the films influence to the glamorous community
The hair of the actor is considered very modern as it could be seen as rebellious with its random disjointed spikes which fall freely across his face relating to the target audiences need to be cool and free. Gives a young audience a hope and dreams of becoming and interacting with the starsThe jacket whilst matching withhis hair with spikes of rebellion this idea of fur and thick coats relates to the ideology of wealth and stability which would attract people to want to know about his lifestyle and his work with the film to get there. 19. Film trailer with ancillary task, Magazine cover: Why and how do new film releases have magazine coverage and how have we used our knowledge to produce ours? THIS RELATES TO THE TRAILER....because in order for the film to be well publicised and for viewers of the trailer to know thatit is a serious feature film within the film making industry they must see its connection with other media outlets. This has to serve the readers uses and gratifications as a magazine otherwise trailer would loose credibility and magazine would not be bought as frequently.
Title is clear and makes the reader understand exactly what the main focus of the magazine as a whole is. Showing that this magazine is a well established recurring magazine giving it some credibility in the industry Giving a reasonable price for target audience Showing the reader they have a chance to interact with the magazine and to entice the reader to buyit because of their excitement to enter competition. Has a clear main story and focus of that story Makes this magazine sellable at any retail outlet and look real amongst other magazines on the shelf. 20. Film trailer with ancillary task, Magazine cover: Why and how do new film releases have magazine coverage and how have we used our knowledge to produce ours? THIS RELATES TO THE TRAILER....because choosing a face of the film is necessary so that when an audience see the trailer they will instantly recognise the star and who he is. This means that an audience is already aware before seeing the trailer that this film is massive and worth looking out for
This star was chosen to represent the film because he is the one of the main character along with the female lead. Use of the boy instead would appeal more to the teenage girls who reads magazines more than boys do. He has obviousrebellious feel as he stares straight into the camera withoutsmiling as if e has nobody to impress. He seems powerful and unafraidas he looks slightly down at the camera showing his fame. 21. Concluding, that for our magazine front cover it was vital to advertise the magazine from a different perspective. This shows that the magazine is used alongside the trailer to be totally separate but both advertise the same thing through totally different mediums . This means that an audience can get a full view of how good the film really is and encourage their desire to see it as they can understand alternate views on the film from the story in the magazine and produce their own upon watching the trailer.Overall the combination of our main task and ancillary tasks was for one purpose: which is to advertise the fictional film we had created and we felt we did that by covering needed aspects and fulfilling all required codes and conventions of all three media outlets. 22.

We used Adobe Photoshop CS3 for the photographs and preliminary tasks, Pinnacle Studio 11 to edit our trailers, and Microsoft Office 2003 for our word processing and presentations. We used a Canon XM2 video camera for filming, a Rode microphone and a Canon 1000d SLR for still photographs 32. Fronter

34. The Internet
35. Canon XM2 Video Camera To film our trailer, we used a Canon XM2 HD Mini-DV Camcorder. The Camcorder had many features which proved to be useful to us during our filming time. The lens had a very wide zoom, it allowed manual focusing, it had a mic input and fire wire PC connection. These features enabled us to create our trailer exactly to our needs. The camera also had an interesting feature of zoom on both the handle and side, which meant when doing low shots the camera could be held and controlled using just the top handle. 36. Adobe Photoshop
37. MS Office We used Microsoft Word for all our documents and for our back ups and Microsoft PowerPoint for our evaluations. Microsoft documents are accessibly usually by a wide range of universal programmes. This means, most computers can open these files as long as a word processor/presentation software is installed. By using this in our coursework and evaluation sections, we are able to ensure that our coursework is accessible to those who will be viewing it. 38.
