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 fact that the titles were disappearing connects to our story line as in our trailer someone is abducted meaning he disappearing just like our titles. So overall I believe that this made our titles look very professional and much better than our AS titles. Another convention that I can talk about is the mise en scene part of both of our projects. With our first project our costumes were not very well thought out and this is because we did not spend a lot of time planning. Even though football hooligans wear the same sort of clothing that we were wearing that day it still could of been thought out differently in order to make it look more real. This meant that we knew we had to put a lot of planning into the costumes that we were going to use in our A2 project. We started off with the rich businessman and we had to put him in something classy, something that was going to make him look rich so that is what we done. Then with the two thugs we thought we would have to hide their faces to make them look frightening so we used some masks and told them to put their hoods. These costume ideas made our A2 look very professional as it made it look like it was very well planned out.
