1. Evaluation By Dimple Verma

2. My Magazine Cover and Poster

3. A promotion package for a new film, to include: A Teaser Trailer, together with two of the following three options: A website homepage for the film A film magazine front cover, featuring the film A poster for the film My Chosen Brief:

5. I looked at the codes and conventions of similar trailers such as ‘Pink Panther’, Mr Beans Holiday’ and ‘The Dilemma’ which had similar genres (slap-stick comedy) as my slap-stick comedy trailer.

7. Mid shot

8. Long-shot

9. High angles shots

10. Pans

11. Side shots

12. Far shot

14. From my research specifically looking at the Mr bean trailer I noticed they had used fade in and outs, I had mainly used fade in and outs to connect each scene up and on the title cuts I used wipes these transitions were applied as I thought they looked more professional looking.

15. At the start of the trailer there was a green screen shown to make it look realistic and as part of the law it has to be shown.

16. Near the beginning I decided to show a quick glimpse of the ‘Universal ‘ logo so that the audience immediately know that this specific company is good at producing comedy films such as the Mr. Bean trailer therefore the audience are able to identify the age group and who it is aimed at in my case it is mass audience of all ages.

17. My mass audience would go and watch this film as soon as they see that it is produced a ‘Universal Pictures’ as they have created ‘Mr. Bean goes on Holiday’

19. I thought that it was very important for me to keep the style of clothing throughout the video consistent therefore I had to purchase clothing to emphasize the genre through following the conventions and keeping the costumes consistent.

20. As Harry is the main focus throughout my trailer I had to ensure he was easily recogniseable through the same shirt and tie worn for my posters and magazines as well as in my trailer, however I had to make him change it to something more casual during the trailer to make it look realistic.

22. The restaurant doors shows how stupid he is in real life even when he go’s out not just in his hotel home

23. I had to choose quickly where I wanted to shoot for example in the hotel due to heavy snow falls and serious winds

24. This is the costume I had to make my character wear to follow the conventions of slap-stick comedy

25. A church was chosen at the beginning to illustrate that France is a city that’s well known for its ‘Tradition and culture’

27. As Harry was introduced coming of a train a funny piano melody begins to play which represents him as a hilarious farcical character. The speed of the piano music increases to go with the flow of the fast pace trailer and successfully reflecting the genre with the melody playing itself

28. As the piano is playing continuously it does not synchronize with the transitions to reflect that he is always a silly character throughout the film

33. The main image was positioned at the front on top of the title - make my main character stand out as the magazine is well known itself.

34. Both my poster and magazine cover were blue - as I felt no other colour connected well with all the other elements on the cover and the fact that the sky on the poster and the blue shade on the magazine cover connected well with the sky on the trailer which helped them to link and be presented as one product.

35. I could not use a sky background for my magazine cover - looked unprofessional and did not follow the magazine conventions as they usually have plain back grounds behind the central image to make the audiences attention to be mainly on the main central image, thus I decided to fill the background with a dark Blue background.

36. The poster has Red, Blue and Yellow

37. The ‘H’ letters that are filled in a bright red color clash well with the dark blue background and also goes well with the magazine colors with the same color used for the title of the magazine title ‘Popular’

39. The character is the same

40. The title covers his face slightly similar to the magazine

41. The lighting is similar to one another

42. Similar colors are applied apart from the dark blue on the magazine – although I chose to have an image of the sky with different shades of blue to make them slightly similar for them to combine well together, thus allow the audience to identify the products along side the film easily.

43. Style of the main text kept consistent

44. The red shade of color used on the magazine ‘POPULAR’ is similar to the ‘HHH’ on the poster

45. I decided to maintain some of the elements consistency throughout the packages as I wanted the audience to identify the packages easily as well as for the products themselves to combine effectively.

46. I applied Red, Blue, White, Orange and Yellow for my whole package - illustrate how different the colors are from each other in parallel to how different Harry is himself.

48. The title is written in in a funny looking font representing the fact that this is a comedy magazine, the title is covered as the title is so well known the audience do not need to be recommended of the title as much

49. The red colors are the same on the poster of the ‘H’ and on the strap lines of the magazine cover, title and price star are all the same. The bright blue, red and yellow colors represent holiday colors

50. The strap line of the magazine cover where I mentioned 20 different famous comedy actors names - persuades the audience to read the magazine further

51. I also included the price, barcode, issue number, date of issue I shown these features and implemented these onto my magazine cover to make it look more realistic as normal magazines the ‘famous’ magazine cover does

52. I had to ensure that all three products matched by keeping some of the elements consistent in order for the audience to identify this as 1 package.

54. ‘I liked the way the clips faded in and out as it helped the whole trailer to interlink and it actually made it look like a real comedy trailer’

55. ‘I really liked the trailer as I personally really like comedy films and am a huge fan of them therefore I felt that the trailer itself really persuaded me to watch ‘Harry Hulbert’s Holiday’ film’

56. ‘I immediate could tell that the products you created were one package, but in one scene it is a bit dark unless it was to show he is really up to no good in his hotel in France’

58. During this project I used Final Cut Pro, Live Type, Adobe Photoshop and Blogger.

59. For the editing of my trailer I had used Final Cut Pro this was used to add effects/add a voice over/ add any music

60. Final Cut Pro allowed me to work effectively during the development stage of my trailer

61. I had never ever used this type of software before and was a new thing for everyone including the teacher (Miss.Simms) , however I over came this problem by learning from websites for example YouTube and I had made notes too during the exhibition stage

62. When it was put into practice of actually creating a successful trailer I found it much easier as I had become more confident in using this software

64. Final Cut Pro allowed me to apply effects and develop my trailer further in order to meet my customers expectations and thus making the trailer meet its genre (comedy).

65. It allowed me to organize all my footage and put it chronological order of event which took a very long time to do.

67. My poster and magazine were both created and developed in Adobe Photoshop – as you cans see I applied different types of effects on the images, backgrounds and texts (strap lines).

68. - I developed the faces by applying brightness effects

69. - I edited the text by applying different styles on to make it look professional

70. - I had used the lasso tool around the face to cut it from the background and to make it look effective on the poster and the magazine cover

72. Text itself

73. Other effects on the text

74. Style of textEffects can be selected from here

75. How did you use new media technologies in construction and research, planning and evaluation stages? (Continuation) Digital Camera I had used a digital camera that allowed me to take images and apply the rule of thirds effectively in order to take effective professional images for my poster and magazine cover. I had experimented for a long time on the camera in order to take the perfect close-up shots of Harry for my poster and magazine cover Camcorder During the filming of my trailer I had used a camcorder and placed it on a steady tripod to take steady footage I didn’t want my trailer to show scenes unsteadily as it would look unprofessional. Using the camcorder allowed me to develop my skills and gain confidence in utilising camcorders in the future

77. Pink Panther

78. The DilemmaTo identify some of the codes and conventions of slap-stick comedy trailers there were many fades in and outs which helped it to be classed as a comedy trailer thus allowing itself to be easily identified as a comedy trailer by different audiences.

79. On the whole I was delighted with the creation and development of the whole of my package. I felt that I could have created an even effective trailer to meet my audiences expectations and to follow the codes and conventions of a comedy genre which would on the whole attract my target audience and cause my film to be a box office. I feel I have conveyed the message of my trailer effectively to my audience well by indicating that it’s a slap-stick comedy trailer by instigating similar codes and conventions of similar slap-stick comedy trailers. I was able to log my ideas and thoughts down easily using a software called blogger on the internet. From my experience of the creation and the development of my ancillary tasks and the trailer which was developed on new software called Final Cut Pro and Live Type I was able to produce an effective package altogether, I had to consider the importance of genre for my whole package. As I researched into similar products for example ‘The Pink Panther’, ‘Charlie Chaplin’ ‘Mr Bean’s Holiday’ I had realised the codes and conventions are similar and have hardly changed even though times have changed as quoted by Neale ‘genres are instances of repetition and difference’ Thus meaning that the codes and conventions of a slap-stick comedy never change and are repeated throughout generations within the film industry during the development of slap-stick comedy films. After the creation and development of my full product I feel more confident in using Final Cut pro, Adobe Photoshop and Live Type as these technologies have developed me for creating films in the near future.
