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.
