Horror genre trailer analysis

The final Horror trailer I am going to analyse the genre conventions for Texas Chainsaw Massacre

-Certificate of film
-Impact sounds
-Slow music at the start
-Pace of music speeds up as the pace of the editing speeds up
-Fades to black
-During fades at the start there are impact sounds of a chainsaw, this links to the title of the film
-Trailer begins with the characters in a 'normal' setting; which sets the tone
-Sinister mise-en-scene (creepy looking house, girl see's a scary reflection in the mirror, sink covered in blood, chainsaw
-Reference to the past
-Images of blood
-A lot of lowkey lighting, most of the trailer was filmed in the dark
-Sinister location in a grave yard
-Screen remains black for a few seconds
-Emphasis on 3-D at the end
-Many screams
-Flashing images

Poster analysis introduction

I am going to conduct research and analysis towards the conventions of film posters. I have looked at five different posters from a variety of genres, in order to see if there are similarities within the conventions. This will help my understanding of the depth in film posters, thus benefitting me when I am making my own. Below are the five posters, each of different genres, which I chose to analyse the conventions of: 1) La La Land 2) Spider Man 3) Insidious 2 4) Hangover 2 5) The Notebook

Magazine cover analysis introduction

After looking at the conventions of movie posters, I will now do the exact same, but for film magazine covers. Both film magazines I will be looking at are aimed at different audience and will both be for different front covers from a different film magazine. In terms of design and layout, I will be able to see if both film magazines share the same conventions. Below are the two film magazine covers I will be analysing:

list of tools I used in software

Adobe premiere: software ALL DONE ON A PC Camera: HC-VX980 Manfrotto tripod Use of dissolves From black dissolving into next shot – slows the tone down and gives glimpses in (seems like little romantic snapshots at the start) I added an outside sound during the park shots Camera sound from the colleges sound effect library Impact sounds from BBC sound library I included a sound effect of a ring tone from BBC sound effects library instead of the apple iphone ringtone which I recorded with the shot iphone doesn’t sound like a ringtone in a trailer Fading down the volume of the music whenever there was any dialogue from the actors the music was loudest in the 3 rd part so I especially did this here Photoshop, for the film title
