EVALUATION QUESTION
In what ways does your
media products use, develop
or challenge forms and
conventions of real media
products?
When looking at the development of our theatrical
poster, it is important to look at what inspired the
creation of our poster. We looked at numerous
different film posters that were similar to the kind of
film we were making. This was what helped when we
were putting forth ideas on how to take the pictures
and what kind of theme we were going for in terms
of our film.
Typically the type of drama film we are creating would
usually be set in rural areas, and generally the lighting is
very dull and grey, sometimes the use of sepia light is used
to highlight how dark it is. Covers of this type of film genre
often incorporate the location of the film in the cover. A
typical example for this
is the cover of the location of the film is
Highlighted at the back.
We took inspiration from all these three pictures because they were very much the kind of film we were going for. From the second image we took the way they had a black and white background but there characters were still in colour. This as hard to achieve as we had to cut around every character and put a new layer of the picture on top of it. We used the way the character were placed from the first image. And we Incorporated the back ground from the third image. Our product develops real media products Because it incorporates all there technical elements of all the pictures.
Our film uses the same idea with the way the
characters are standing in the film. The characters
are all placed in a row and most of them are
standing up, with the same facial expressions. This is
something we used from real media conventions, this
is because it is all the same corresponding theme, so
there are definitely some elements that we had to
use in the making of our film poster
Our media product develops forms and conventions of real media products as we share a lot of similarities as the other film examples we used. The use of the bold title is also something that demonstrates the use of other media products. Also the writing at bottom of our theatrical poster demonstrates the use of real media conventions as it is a common feature that is used in a majority of films.
CHALLENGES
We wanted our media product to be unique and I feel that the
way we designed our theatrical poster in some ways does in fact
challenge real media conventions, because our characters are
very much in colour and their colours are very bold and bright
unlike the other examples shown, but the use of the black and
white background does make it different from the other film
posters and more unique as it shows that there is still an element
of the same theme, but it develops the idea that they used in the
creation of their own film posters.
CHALLENGE
First and foremost we challenged the idea that the
main people in drama street kind of films are
predominantly males.
We used an all female casting squad. Although,
with the way we dressed them and their facial
expressions, they were obviously not ‘typical’
females.
