Film Promotion -Toy story-


  • The genres of the film are fantasy comedy animation and adventure


    •  The key conventions of a film poster are: 

    1.  The movie title is bold
    2. It shows the directors and producers at the bottom.
    3. The logos are at the top (Disney and Pixar)

    The key conventions of a film trailer are:

    1. The action is continuous which fits the genre 
    2. Shows part of the background of how they got there
    3. Shows release date
    4. Dialogue

    •  think that this successful because lots of people have watched Toy Story 1 & 2 and loads of people have loved it. It's certainly an old-time most wanted classic Disney film. 

    • I the movie is equally for girls & boys. The age range would naturally be targeted towards primary school children. However teenagers and parents would also be interested in watching the movie.

    Twilight -Genres

    this is the Twilight breaking dawn p2  trailer. I think that the genre of this movie would be fantasy , romance film , drama , teen and romantic fantasy. I think this because there are vampires and wolves and they don't exist because its fantasy and also the two main characters are madly in love (Bella and Edward) which makes it a romance film/romantic fantasy. This is a movie for teens as most teenagers are into fantasy and drama.

After that i used the eyedropper tool to select the colour i wanted (using the vibrant picture) and the results on how well i did is above this paragraph.

    Teen Drama -The vampire Diaries-

    The teen drama that i watched is Vampire Diaries. i watched the first ever episode. i think that there was a great opening with the scary music and that after a minute something really bad happens. The thing that draws the audience attention is that they thought of what type of music would best suit the genre (horror). I don't think that there were any narratives that would be typical of other genres. 

    I think that the way the characters were presented was very 

    interesting because we saw the characters face but their lips weren't 
    moving when they were talking.The main characters were the first people that the audience would see. One of the character is a vampire and the other one is a normal teenage girl. There is a part were there is a stereotypical part. It's  when a girl says sorry to the main character and then gives her a hug. She says sorry because of  her parents past away. I think this is stereotypical part because most people think that if your parents past away your life is not worth living for. the most stereotypical part is after the girl hugs the main character and turns to her friend saying "is she okay?" even though the main character was right there!


    i think that the vampire diaries is set in high school. I think this style of drama is about  hiding your secrets.setting appeals to the primary audience because they are familiar with the setting (school). At the beginning there was a scene that took place outside  the forest ,i think that the genre that will best suit the forest is horror because it's scary, dark and foggy.                                 -

    We know that this is a teen drama as there are teenagers and there was a school as a setting. Another way to know its a teen drama is the way the actor acts. (like a teenager) One obvious thing that teenagers  like to do is throw a party and then something bad is about to happen. We can hear if its a teen drama by the teenagers always arguing and the language they are using (e.g 'slang') The visual and the sound codes are more likely to appeal to teenagers. 

    teenagers that are into horror or vampires would more likely to watch this type of drama.
    audience profile/
    age - 13-17
    gender-  mainly girls but also boys 
    interests- watching T.V
    ethnicity- mainly white
    The secondary audience might be the teenagers parents as they want to know what the son/daughter is watching.

    Story pictures -Romance-


    -Romance-

    This is a medium long / medium shot 
    we have chosen this because because the subject who is going to stab the the other subject is showing the other side of him (not really a male) and that the character with the fluffy pink scarf  was betrayed .









    This is a long shot. our group has chosen this type of shot  so we can see one of the characters blaming the other character.



    this is a God shot (crane shot) we  have chosen this as a shot so the audience can take a good look of the dead character.
     I think this is a medium -close -up . we have chosen this because the last picture was of a crane shot so we took a picture from the side and its also from an angel to show the dead subject was a weak character and not a strong one.






       i think this is a wide/establishing shot because it shows the    setting/background however the picture doesn't   show the characters facial expression but it shows her body language. We know that the subject  sad because of her body language                      








    The story-      The man with the white hat and the woman with the fluffy pink scarf were going out. Then one day the man gives the woman a hug a stabs her. He runs away leaving her to die alone with the knife on her chest. A fairy finds her dead and picks up the knife wondering who would do such a thing when Suddenly a girl finds the fairy with the knife and blames the fairy for stabbing her. The fairy leaves with the knife on the girls chest (the one with the fluffy pink scarf) and walks away with her head down low.

    Camera Research - Transitions


    Types of camera Transition

    Cut

    The most common transition — an instant change from one shot to the next. 
     

    Mix / Dissolve / Crossfade

    These are all terms to describe the same transition — a gradual fade from one shot to the next.

     

    Fade

    Fades the shot to a single colour, usually black or white.
     

    Wipe

    One shot is progressively replaced by another shot in a geometric pattern.

    camera research - ANGLES

     angles 
    Normal Angle
    High Angle
      Low Angle
    Canted Angle
    Subjective Angle
    Birds eye angle


    Eye level

    Slanted




      In a normal angle shot the camera is positioned at approximately the subject's eye level, shooting the scene as we would normally view the world. 



    In a high angle shot the camera is positioned above eye level.





    In a low angle shot the camera is positioned below eye level.




    In a canted angle the camera is tilted on its horizontal plane to 

    produce a slightly unstable picture.





    a subjective angle the camera is put in place of a character and 

    shows us the scene from the character's point of view. 








    A birds eye angle is from high up, facing down.









    The level of the eyes looking straight ahead.

    media home work

     favorite music video is a parody called 'dont call me mabey' by wassabi productions (youtubers)  i like this video because usually music videos are either too boring or too crazy but this music video is really funny  however the music video that i really hate is Sam and the womp 'bom bom' i think the video is too crazy and the woman cannot sing at all which make it even more terrible.

    My favorite TV show is keeping up with the kardashians i like it because its interesting and at times its really funny but my least  favorite TV show is the news because its boring.

    My favorite magazine is O.K as it writes about the latest things and  has lots and lots of pictures which people are more interested in however i don't like the ESPN magazine because it a sports magazine and im not interested in sports .

    My favorite radio show is Capital FM because i like the musics that they put on and i also like how they don't put on really old songs however i really hate LBC because they don't even put music on , it's just about conversations and most of it is boring and is about the news and government issues which is really boring.

    My favorite website is youtube because you can subscribe channels and listen to music but  my least favorite website is Wikipedia  because any one can write it so some on the facts written might possibly be false.


    My favorite film is The Hunger Games because its a really awesome movie and  has some violence in it but the movie the i really hate is Paranormal Activity 3  because its too scary and it don't even end happily ever after , it ends up as the main character dead.
