Evaluation: Question One

In which ways does your media products use, develop and challenge forms and conventions of real media products?



Shafia, Jenny and I have created this emaze in order to present all of the trailers that we used as inspiration for our own romantic comedy trailer.

This gif shows my script for the voice threads that I have created to explain how I have used, developed and challenged forms and conventions of real media products.

Voice Memos

I used the voice memos app to record the dialouge and voiceover for our trailer. I then saved the clips and emailed them to my hotmail account. After this I downloaded the recordings onto the mac  and dragged them onto premier pro and started to edit

Audience Research Post

I asked some questions regarding my film poster I have took all of the responses into account and have started to apply them to my poster.

Music Cue Sheet

This is the music cue sheet which explains the information regarding sound on our trailer.

Editing Screenshots For The Trailer

This is our current trailer process, We have been using the razor tool to cut down scenes and then we have been using the arrow tool to put the videos next to each other and then we have been putting them in the correct order. The pink squares are the text slides, the green are the sound and the blue are the videos. Shafia and I have been using the audio gain feature to make some of our sound recordings louder or quieter as some are louder than others.

Mise en scene research and planning (Breakfast at tiffanies)

I am going to be identifying the mise en scene features from this image from a film in the Romanic Comedy genre.

This two shot image is from the Romantic comedy, 'Breakfast at tiffanies'. The two actors are, Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard. The natural lighting in the shot is slightly low key making the setting look more romantic, it is also causing a shadow appear off the characters onto the wall.The setting is in a corridor of a flat in New York. They are both smartly dressed suggesting that they are of a high class. The characters are called Holly Golightly and Paul Varjak in the film. Looking at the body language of the two characters e.g. the mans arms around the girl and there facial expressions show that they are in love as there heads are tilted and their eyes are nearly shut showing that they are about to kiss. The mask that is on Holly's head and the mask that Paul is holding are the only props that are used in this scene. As for the framing both of the characters are in the middle to make all of the focus of the shot on the two characters who are about to kiss.

Mise en scene research and planning (The Proposal)

I am going to be identifying the mise en scene features from this image from a film in the Romanic Comedy genre.

This two shot image is from the Romantic comedy, 'The Proposal'. The two actors are, Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. The natural, high key lighting makes the scene happy and upbeat. The setting is in the streets in America. They are both smartly dressed suggesting that they are of a high class. The characters are called Margret Tate and Andrew Paxton in the film. Looking at the body language of the two characters it shows that in this scene the man is more dominant due to the fact that his is on a higher level and the woman is knelt on the floor looking up to him however they are both smiling so it looks as if they are getting along. The framing shows both of the characters in the centre to make all of the focus of the shot on the two characters who are in deep conversation.The phone and bag that the actress is holding are the only props used in this scene. The colours of the image are bright and dark which makes the image interesting to look at.
