2. Our film trailer had many conventions that
can be seen in real film trailers.
Conventions such as sound, text, effects
and footage were in our film trailer and as
such, represented a real film trailer
Our film trailer is a psychological horror
genre and therefore had the usual
conventions as creepy music, fast paced
scenes and darkened effects.
3. As you can see from our film trailer of a psychological horror, ‘Alter of
Bones’ our film trailer contains conventions which are represented in real
horror film trailers . The music creates the atmosphere of a horror style,
the black and white effect helps to create a dark environment and fast
paced cut scenes helps to build tension.
4. The film trailer for horror film, ‘The Day’. This film trailer
has music which relates to the genre, color effects on the
footage and fast paced scenes. The film trailer also has
the film companies logo and text, all of which can be found
on my film trailer ‘Alter of Bones’.
5. Film posters follow the conventions of having
the film’s name at the top of the poster, a
image relating to the film on the main page of
the poster, credits of people involved in the
film at the bottom of the poster and
sometimes a tagline.
Magazine covers follow certain conventions,
such as the name of the magazine at the top,
an image relating to the film on the main
image and a price tag
6. The magazine cover for my film
trailer, ‘Alter of Bones’. The
magazine follows the conventions
of other magazine film covers. The
name of the magazine is at the top,
the name of the film is on the page,
an image relating to the film on the
page and the magazines price tag
is on the page
7. Total film magazine showcasing
the film, ‘Terminator Salvation’.
The magazine has the name of
the magazine, film title, image
relating to the film and a price
tag, all of which feature in my
magazine cover
8. I believe that my media product does meet
the required conventions of a film trailer and
the ancillary products which accompany the
film trailer.
Conventions relating to horror trailers is
represented through sound, effects and
footage on my film trailer and the magazine
cover and film poster also have the
conventions which are also found in real
posters and magazine covers.
So over all I believe my media product uses
conventions and challenges them.
