Final Trailer and Print Work

Media trailer first cut

This is are first cut of our trailer. We showed this to 20 year 11's and asked for their oppinions on it. We used this feedback to creat wordclouds so we can see what words came up most of all and how we could possible change it.

Bad wordss.

Good words

Teaser Trailer

Teaser trailers are usually 0:30 to 1:30 seconds long. These are to give and audience a glimpse at the movie before realising a proper movie trailer where it explains more about giving details of the movie and what the movie contains. These trailers can be fast pace where it is usually just contains the trailer rush. 

I decide to create a teaser trailer with the footage we already had shot and edited it just to be a trailer rush. This is used with fast pace editing with most shots not lasting longer than 5 seconds.

Final Desisons on Poster Layout

Billing Block Created

The billling block is the credit block that appears on the movie posters. Sometimes it’s referred to as the poster credits or just credit block. If people have the time to read the small print they will learn who is staring in the movie but also the producers and executive producers. The presence of names in the poster credits is related to the contracts signed between the companies involved in creating the film and also includes the cast and crew members.

Magazine mock

we created a magazine front cover mock to see where we would place other films that would be promoted. We took inspiration from magazines such as Total Film and Empire.

Codes and converntions of a scfi

Codes and converntions of a scfi

Science fiction films uses science based depictions problems that are not necessarily accepted by mainstream science, such as aliens alongside with futuristic elements such as spacecrafts or robots. Therefore the codes and conventions within science fiction films included science and technology. Science fiction films often focuses on political and social issues and explore philosophical issues like the human condition Codes and Convention in science fiction - Set in future - Different planets - Time travels- travelling backwards and forwards through time has always been a popular in science fiction film - Spacecrafts - Robots - Imaginative settings - Alien abductions - Galactic Empires that oppress everything - Rebel(s) going against the empire - Conflicts between alien and human The science fiction film genre has long been a tool for discussing topics and issues, and providing us with thoughtful social commentary on potential unforeseen future issues. The presentation of the problem that is disturbing to an audience can be made more acceptable when put in future setting or on a different world, and by keeping us entertained by using advanced technology such as CGI and special effects which year on year improve. The altered context can allow for deeper examination and reflection of the ideas presented, with the perspective of a viewer watching remote events. Most controversial issues in science fiction films tend to fall into two general story lines, Utopian or dystopian. Either a society will become better or worse in the future.

Genre

Genre

Genre is the category of film, music or literature, characterized by similarities in form, style, theme, or subject matter. This helps the industry and consumer decide on what movie they would like to see and helps to put a label on the movie. The movie industry follows a formula when making a movie this then attract the people they are aiming for.  As people decide what genre they suite e.g. comedy is seen for people that want to laugh as where a thriller is where people want a hard gripping story line that they will have to pay attention to. With people always going to the genre they like then they are reluctant to change their genre and see a different movie.  

With in a certain genre there are codes and conventions. This can have its advantages and disadvantages. For the industry this helps them create the perfect movie as they know what the movie has to have with in it to attract the people that will want to see the movie. For the consumer the advantage of this is that they know what they are getting from a movie and they will know what to expect. At time this can get boring as people will find that the story line is repeated and has no real different to other similar movies. This then forces the industry to think of new ways to sell the story line. This then makes industries think of innovations and hybrid such as roncom. This is a mixed between romantic movies which can be serious with a hint of comedy to take some of the serious side of it taken out.

The industry creating the movie could represent the movie with in the trailer  as being a thriller but in fact it has more scfi codes and conventions than it does a thriller movie therefore attracting the wrong people to the movie. This may be due to the iconography shown with in the trailer. With them showing the wrong genre that the movie is this will in turn give the people a false sense of security and will lead to dissatisfaction with the movie that they would have seen. This could then lead to poor reviews truing away the people that the movie industry wants to attract.

In conclusion the industry has always to market it the genre trufuly to gain the market that they are aiming for. Even if the market that the industry are aiming for is nichie market they will still make huge profit if the market the film genre right to attract the people.  In the end it is up to the consumer on what they want to see with in the genre and the industry has to follow/ predict the taste and be able to predict when they have to invention the film genre. This can lead new movies and taste in the future. It can also create hybrids such as scfi thriller. But it is always hard to classify genre there for it is sometime difficult for the industry and consumer to put the movie in to a genre
