Media Evaluation - Question 1

In what ways does your media production use, develop or challenge form and conventions of real life media products?

As for the film poster, i feel that this was the more simpler product to produce out the the 3 media projects due to the amount of features used in the film poster. this was a chance for me to become imaginative and experiement with the different features trying to see how I can avoid using the original conventions.
These are the basic conventions used in my product:

- A main image - a eye catching focal point
- A film title - Visibily able to see and attractive, use of different fonts
- A 'catchy' slogan - a catch phrase or a innuendo based on the film
- The Credits - Information based on film and who is featured in it
- A Theme - Blatenly connoting the genre of the film
- A Release Date - Showing when the film will released in cinemas
- A Production Logo - A symbol connoting the producers

With all these features combined, I feel that I have achieved a very successful film poster, however, I purposely have not used certain features in my product simply to avoid becoming too 'traditional'. The Age certification has not been used as it will allow the target audience to do more furhter research into our film, giving them a chance to use other media resouces to find out such information like the internet, telecommuication, apps on mobile phones, film reviews and newspapers. I have been influenced by this idea from looking at other film posters, such as Saw. TBC
