This is a mind map of action which has the main conventions of an action films. Some examples are that many action films are set in Eastern European Countries because many action films include terrorists, also many action films contain explosions and fight scenes which then suggests that there will be lots of action going in in the films. This mind map would give me some crucial ideas on what we could add to make an action film good as well what I could add to improve an action film.

These thriller conventions will help our group decide what we could have in our film, for example we will need to add some kind of music which will have to be intense because as our film is a action thriller film there will need to be some music to make the scenes more intense. Another convention is that there needs to be a strong story line because it needs to engage the audience and bring them along with the story, if the film doesn't have a strong and engaging story line it will lose the audience. There must also be reasonably quick cuts in a fight scene because it would make it look more realistic and interesting for people to watch, this means that the fights will be more intense and dramatic for both the actors and the audience. An antagonist driven plot is important for the film because it helps set the scene and create the story line which will help the audience connect with both the protagonist and the antagonist.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre Trailer Analysis

Texas Chainsaw Massacre Trailer Analysis   After watching the trailer to this well known horror movie it is very clear that the film is aimed at the older generation and that there target audience would not be anyone below the age of 15 as it clearly has a lot of graphic scenes that younger viewers would find very disturbing. So I think that the target audience for this film ranges from the age of 18 up to around 25 as these are the ages where your going to get teenagers and young adults who enjoy watching these type of gory, scary films for the thrill of it. right from the start you can see that it is a typical horror film as you see that the film is based around a group of vulnerable teenagers who are going away for the weekend this is a typical stereotype for horror films because a group of teenagers are easy to use because they could be thought as young and helpless. Normally films use voice overs in their trailers to tell the audience about the story or about credit info...

Digital Technology

Digital Technology The software that I used for the construction of the film that we made was adobe premiere. It was very useful throughout the whole process. It helped us in creating a film that looked professional and not tacky. From right at the beginning it was very easy in finding out how to use the software and when you got the hang of it, you were able to use such things as animations, sounds and cropping clips. We used all three of these in the creation of our film. I did most the editing on our film which meant that it was up to me to make the film look professional. As I did most of the editing it meant that I felt more comfortable using the software adobe premiere. We also used YouTube to upload our film and make people able to watch it whenever they want.  For the creation of our film we didn't actually use much equipment. To do the filming we used my Iphone 5s because we knew that it had just as good quality camera as the cameras provided from the school. We w...

How have I improved my conventions of real media texts?

How have I improved my conventions of real media texts? In this post I will be talking about both my projects and how both of them look like professional media projects. For my first project which was my AS it was not very successful with looking like a real media project. It looked very fake and looked like there was not a lot of care taken with creating the titles for example. There were no animations that were involved in the titles they just appeared on the screen and this made it look really poor and uninteresting. However when it came to creating our A2 project my group made it known to each other that we must make the titles make look more interesting. We done this by adding animations to each one. For example on the first title that came up we used a fade in which meant the title disappeared into the back of the screen. Firstly this made it look very professional yet it also helped our trailer appeal to our audience as it made it look like a mysterious action film. The fac...
