Evaluation Plan: Question 1

In what ways does your media production use, 


develop or challenge forms and conventions of 


real media products?

Developing and Challenging Conventions:

How our teaser trailer is similar to other teaser trailers

How our teaser trailer is different to other teaser trailers

How it is different from a trailer

What is used to show the audience what type of media product it is

What makes it obvious that it is a teaser trailer rather than a drama?

Knowledge on conventions on all 3 media products: Developing conventions

Conventions of horror in poster and teaser trailer

How we showed horror through our magazine cover

Have we followed the conventions of horror throughout?

(Give examples, teaser trailers, posters, fonts, images, shot angles etc..)

Creation of products: Challenging conventions

Have we made it obvious what type of genre we are using?

Did we follow the conventions too much and made it predictable (We filmed in one place – Different? )

Have we tried to change it slightly to go against typical conventions?

Are our products interesting and exciting compared to others (use examples)

Or is some aspects boring and predictable (use examples of similar samples)

The reasons for challenging conventions (more original, interesting, appealing)

Or were the conventions not possible (resources not available e.g. prop, costume location)

Used a black actress which is unusual, show why we done this (give examples with Caucasian actors)

Originally planned to use Asian – Why we done this – Why we had to change it

Female killer – challenges conventions

Is there any other trailers or posters that challenge conventions
