Answers:
1.       I decided to develop the conventions of mise-en-scene in my film poster as I wanted it to make it look as though it would fit in with other film posters on a board. I therefore used a setting which was in the night which relates to the theme of horror. The positioning was important as it had just the right amount of the arm showing through to keep the mysterious feeling.
2.       The location which I used developed conventions as I used one of the main characters houses’ which is where the murderer is normally placed in other horror movies.
3.       The camera position for this poster was challenging as usually you just have the camera looking directly at a person in a movie poster, but this one only shows part of the arm from a side angle.
4.       The layout of this film poster is developing the conventions of a typical movie poster as it has the actors, directors and production companies along the footer and then the title and release date just above them. By placing the text here it meant that the main focus was still on the image.
5.       The mise-en-scene of my film magazine challenges conventions of a typical movie magazine as normally you would expect there to be an image of the actors when involved in the actual movie whereas mine is showing a shot outside of the movie which shows how people will need to read on inside to find out more about the movie itself.
6.       The location which I used for my film magazine challenges conventions as I had the pictures taken down one of the streets where the movie was filmed whereas in a typical movie poster the location would be in the middle of filming.
7.       The camera angles in my film magazine follow conventions of a typical film magazine as the shot is face on and it includes an image which is similar to other film magazines. I also think that the style of the camera shots should be the same on most film magazines as it is stereotypically known as the right thing to do.
8.       The layout in my film magazine follows conventions of a typical film magazine as I have the same structure as the popular film magazine ‘Empire’ and by doing this I think my film magazine will attract the largest audience.
9.       The mise-en-scene of my teaser trailer is following the conventions of a typical horror trailer as the lighting is low throughout the trailer; this creates the atmosphere of tension.
10.   The location of my teaser trailer follows conventions of a typical movie trailer as the woods where the first scene is filmed is very common for a horror movie trailer because it is a place where people don’t know what the area around them is like.
11.    The camera angles of my teaser trailer follows conventions of horror trailers as I use a large range of camera angles which means that people get shots of the surrounding area, facial expressions and discussions
12.   The sound of my teaser trailer challenges conventions of other teaser trailers as most other horror teaser trailers use one soundtrack which lasts throughout the whole trailer whereas I have decided to mix it up so that it creates tension.
13.   The character representations in my teaser trailers follow conventions of a typical horror trailer as it has the killer, someone who is being targeted and then the friend of this person and I would say that these people are typical in horror trailers.
14.   The make-up in my teaser trailer is following the conventions of a typical horror film as the innocent civilians look as though they are in their everyday clothes whereas the killer has a full black outfit and has a horror mask.
15.   The dialogue in my teaser trailer follows conventions of a typical horror trailer as near the beginning the dialogue is very calm and slow paced whereas the dialogue near the end is very panicky.
