Evaluation: Question 1

In what ways does your media products use, develop and challenge forms and conversions of real media products?

Trailer
Use
. We have used ideas such as sound/shot types/ sound effects from the strangers- this helped us construct our trailer and which editing effects to use.
. We added subtitles such as 'What happens when one person just cant let go'- to tell the audience whats happening and where the film is going.
. We looked at different trailers to give us inspiration for the music in our trailer- and also where to put it, we also used sound in our filming.

Develop
. We filmed a chunk of our trailer down at the train station due to atmosphere- also it helps create suspense and highlights the genre more
. We also filmed near a church yard to give a scary effect of her running- another scary location
. We filmed the toilet scene where she finds 'Bitch' written on the mirror- typical conventions of other horror films.

Challange
. We created a stalker board to clearly highlight to the audience that she is being stalked- shows images of sophie in different locations and also more about him
. We filmed from his point of view, showing him following her- showing the film from his perspective and showing he is the villain, and sophie the victim.








Magazine
Use
. I modeled my magazine of Empire magazine, as it is shown below- gave me initial ideas for my magazine and where to put the headline/pictures.
. We looked at the different fonts and colour schemes the magazines used- to help me pick the colors I want to use.
. We also looked at layout, such as the heading/layout and also the pictures and where they're put- to help me locate my own pictures

Develop
. I used the idea of him holding a camera- to show he's stalking her/stalker board.
. I were also creative in choosing the 'Obsession' font- typewriter style, to add the 'stalker' effect.
. I was creative in choosing the colour for the background- faded out black effect, and also the shine from the camera.

Challenge 
. I reflected a picture of sophie in the lens of the camera so it appears as if he's filming her
. The situation of the barcode and issue number- I located them in different places to what you would normally see, to fit in with my other pictures/text.




Poster                                                                                                                                                           
Use
. I looked at some of the layouts of different magazines- to help me model my own and to give me inspiration for my own poster.
. I looked at colour schemes- of other posters, looking specifically at the horror genre.
. Shot angles- to help me take my pictures.

Develop
. We used the idea of sticking to three main colors- to keep the poster consistent and so it doesn't look messy
. Him stood with his back, hiding his identity- to give the film some misery.
. The Obsession colour/font- conventions of the horror genre.

Challenge
. The stalker board in the background faded out shows where the film is going- also to show its an important aspect in the trailer/magazine/poster.
. The colour's of the actors names- sophie, white. Adrian, red. Good/bad.
