// __Sorority row__ // media type="youtube" key="MbdY3_vLc2k" width="425" height="350"[|http://][|www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbdY3_vLc2k]

The film 'sorority row' is about a group of sorority sisters trying to cover up the death of their house-sister after a prank gone wrong, only to be stalked by a serial killer. This is all portrayed in the trailer as a stereotypical convention of a stalker slasher trailer starts with a group of sorority's having a party which chronologically leads on to several murders.It clearly gives us an idea that something has gone wrong when the music starts to become more fast paced which could symbolise the fear and panic in the scene.

When a daunting part of the trailer begins, it shows close up shots of the characters. The reason for this could possibly be to show the characters feelings on panic and to make us feel what they are feeling as we see their emotions, making us part of the film feeling the terror. The shots are edited in a way that chronologically goes in order and the montage of shots shown to us emphasise the significant parts of the film which targets their audience. The shots associate with the genre of the film as its a horror/ stalker slasher, you would expect fast paced editing which it does portray.

The antagonist is dressed in a black robe with the hood up hiding their face. Having a black hooded robe could symbolise death and fear of the person which could explain the murderers, by just looking at the antagonist the audience feel panic and fear. By not showing his face, could symbolise the hidden secret the girls were trying to keep so the antagonist has a hidden identity.

The trailer uses mainly diegetic sounds, the reason for this could be so that it would seems more realistic hearing the screams of the characters rather than hearing music. However, dramatic fast paced music is used in such scene where there are montages of shots. Towards the end of the trailer the shots become more faster edited which could represent panic like the pace of your heart beat would be. Also, the sound towards the end is the sound of people chanting while

The unique selling point of this film is that it is hinted to us that a girl is the murderer which subverts from a typical stalker/slasher film as sorority row shows women more in charge rather than men are. Also it hints out to us that the killer is not revealed, as the last shot shows the killer still covered in a black hooded robe.

**‘One hour photo’ film trailer analysis** **Genre: Stalker /Thriller**

The film ‘One hour photo’ is a stalker movie. In the trailer of this film, it starts with a young boy telling his mum he feels sad about a man called Sy who works in a photo lab in a department store because he thinks he has no friends. But his mum reassures him saying he does have friends and family and possibly a girlfriend. However, as the mother is saying this, the trailer shows several shots of him being completely alone in his flat suggesting to us that he is lonely without family or friends. The trailer reveals to us how fixated he becomes towards this family becoming to believe he is their ‘uncle’ knowing every part of their life.

As a stalker film, I would have expected a range shots to create thrill and tension which this trailer did. The shots used in this particular trailer were quick short shots, showing a range of zoomed and mid shots which makes the audience focus on the characters emotions as they are more emphasized in such shots. Nearly every shot is faded in and out from a dark black screen. This could possibly symbolise the audience not knowing what comes next, as it fades to black it could mean it’s some sort of mystery as we don’t know what goes on in the dark. Furthermore, the music also synchronizes with the editing of the shots as the music amplifies, the time of the shot being seen gets shorter and faster.

At one point, a voice over is used just to highlight the fact that the main character is an academy award winner. The voice over is not used for anything else in this movie apart from telling the audience this. It may be because it could help advertise the film as the main character is an academy award winner assuming the movie would be great too. Also, because the main character is a famous actor, they added just his name onto the trailer and not the other characters name. this was most probably because using good well known actors target loads of people to come and watch it not because the film may be good, but because they love the actors in it.

The dialogue in the film introduces the main character Sy as a lonely person.

The music in the trailer oscillates, this could symbolise how the film is itself, that the thrilling bits of the movie comes when we least expect it or that the thrill is throughout the film and it just doesn’t lead to a climax alone.

As this film genre is a stalker movie, their target audience would most probably be for people who enjoy watching this genre; it could appeal to both male and female audiences of a range of ages. Most stalker movies include killing such as child’s play, which could be their unique selling point as it subverts to the usual stalker films.

The film ‘The Unborn’ is a supernatural horror film. By just watching the trailer for this film, it tells the audience that a woman, Casey Beldon, has a demonic spirit haunting her which seems to be her twin brother who died before he was born, hence the title being ‘The Unborn’. As ‘The Unborn’ is a supernatural horror film, there are many differences and comparisons with the film ‘One hour photo’ which is a stalker movie.

In both films, it’s quite conventional as it starts with a relaxed beginning and leads on to show a sequence of thrilling events. In terms of the choice of shots and editing, in both trailers it shows an establishing shot of where it’s set, so in this case of both the trailers, it shows a house. The purpose of this shot is to show the environment and to place the audience in that sort of setting. Moreover, as both trailers are some sort of thriller, it shows a lot of close up shots. Having these shots emphasise more on the characters emotions or to call attention to what the character is saying. A film-maker may use this shot to make us feel extremely uncomfortable about a character. Therefore in the beginning of the film ‘The Unborn’, it shows this close up of a little boy who says “he wants to be born now” and by having it on a close up shot had put emphasis on what he said as it was an important part of the trailer, considering what he said was the basic story of what the films about. In addition to this, in the trailer one hour photo it shows more of mid shots which make us focus more on the detail of their actions and speech. However, in ‘the unborn’ the film is more of a horror film and so requires more unsubtle shots and so starts of with mid shots and long shots to show the setting and make the audience feel a part of the movie and as the trailer goes on, the zoom shots, birds eye views and close ups start to become more frequent to make the trailer seem more thrilling and fast paste. Whereas in the trailer one hour photo it focuses more on mid shots and two shots throughout the film, as a stalker movie, it shows the audience the stalker is interacting with other people, highlighting and emphasising the key points of the film rather than just making everything stand out.

Mostly used is diegetic sound in ‘the unborn’, which could create an atmosphere to the audience of making the film seem more realistic possibly making the audience feel more frightened about the movie. However there are some non diegetic sounds in both trailers which are added for dramatic effect. It causes a sense of panic when the music begins, or when it starts to oscillate.

In the film ‘one hour photo’ it uses a voice over to put emphasis on the fact that the main character is an award winner. This has been used to bring fans to watch this movie because they’re favourite actor is playing in the film but in the unborn it just relies film itself and what it has to offer so that the audience actually focuses on the story line and not the actors.

The sound of a camera of pictures being taken synchronises with the shots being shown onto the screen in the film one hour photo which also could be a reason to why it’s called ‘one hour photo’. In both films it the music oscillates and synchronises with the shots throughout the trailer.

Film magazine front cover analysis

//Tron is a science fiction film about a man being transported into a digital word.//


 * __Masthead:__** As the film Tron is about a man being transported into a digital world, the masthead has incorporated this digital world theme like its in a cyber world just like the film. However, the masthead is not as stood out like the rest of the text. 'TRON LEGACY' is in big bold white font which looks like its glowing, whereas the masthead just has a blue simple outline which blends in with the background. But this could be because they didn't want there masthead to be the center of attention, they wanted to promote the film and make everything else stand out.


 * __Image:__** This image shows a strong position, as the actor is in costume creates a better atmosphere promotes their film more to the audience, as a film magazine, it would be better to see the costumes and to see what the movie is about as costumes can sometimes give out a lot for a film. Also, the actor is looking straight at the character giving direct contact with the audience, this could be so that there could be a connection with the reader and the magazine. Moreover you can see that the image itself has been edited to fit into the 'cyber world' theme adding more graphics and illusions making it seem more realistic.


 * __Sell lines:__** The sell lines here are to target those who enjoy movies. For example, one of the cover lines here says "FIRST LOOK AT THE MOST INCREDIBLE 3D MOVIE EVER" considering this is a film magazine, these are the people that these are targeted to, also 3D movies have been a recent fanatic feature to have in movies, therefore people might want to read this magazine to find out what this movie is. Moreover, it says "WORLD EXCLUSIVE" in bold and highlighted in a yellow glowing effect. Having it saying 'world exclusive' makes us think that its the worlds best magazine have better things to offer than other magazines.


 * __Colours:__** The colours used here are yellow white and blue. this whole colour scheme has been kept throughout the whole page makes it look neat and uncluttered, making it look professional. Also some of the font has glowing effect making it stand out more from the rest of the font. The magazine had probably used a luminescent styled font as it goes with the theme of the movie.


 * __Layout, forms and conventions:__**The layout of this magazine seems simple and conforms to the other forms and conventions of other magazine covers. Although there is most probably more colours and more to look at in this magazine compared to others, it still has the basic forms and conventions that a magazine has in this front page.The bar code is in a unusual place, this could just be because there wasn't much space in the bottom of the page where it usually is. Also the image here takes up the entire middle part of the page which strikes out to me because also the actor it staring straight at the camera to entice people to read the magazine. also i think that the sell lines are all put into the bottom of the screen so that

__Demographic:__




 * __Masthead:__** In the posters for the film inception, the font of the title is in red and so therefore, to keep the magazine 'realistic' and kept this theme. You can see that the Masthead is on the top of the magazine which is conforming to the typical conventions of a magazine. moreover, it does show that the image is covering part of the masthead, yet this could be because the magazine is confident that there name is widely known or that Leonardo DiCaprio (actor) is widely known and shown take up most of the space as he's promoting the magazine.


 * __Image:__** The image looks like hes dominating the front cover as hes standing in a strong position. Moreover, me might be wearing black and this could symbolise darkness or mystery. Also as hes not looking and the camera, it also suggests mysteriousness of the character he plays in 'inception'.


 * __Sell lines:__** The magazine shows limited sell lines and the image takes up most of the page. However, it also promotes other new movies on the side such as 'Thor' and 'Toy story 3' by having a range of movies here from horror to cartoons and target a range of people to get the magazine and read it and it targets a range to different film genres and not just a 'heist' film as inception is 'heist' genre. Also, it says in the corner 'PLUS THE COMPLETE HITCHCOCK PART 1' for some audiences, this may be a really good opportunity to take the magazine and read more about as the director 'Alfred Hitchcock'


 * __Colours:__** The main colours used here are red, white, black and a dusky blue. This has probably been the theme as it has been the actual theme of inceptions posters and so wanted to portray it in there magazine. They might have chosen red as it connotes danger and fear. having only 3 main colours makes the magazine look more professional and neater. also because red is the only accent colour, it makes it stand out more rather than being extremely colourful and having all the colours on one page making it look messy and unreadable.


 * __Mise-en-scene:__** The actor is wearing a full black and white suit which could show that hes a professional working person, however it also shows that hes holding a gun, this could symbolise the danger that the movie is about, and that he could be trying to hide his past. also because hes nearly is black could connote something hidden as hes wearing such a dark colour. The background may be like that to represent the film, as you can see it subverts from a typical magazine background. it shows buildings from a birds-eye angle, this could mean that it may be a interesting unusual movie as the background is.


 * __Demographic:__**


 * __Layout, forms and conventions:__**

Total Film


 * __Masthead:__** This mast head has been edited on Photoshop to make an illusion that its part of the background which looks like its 3D sticking out of the cover. By editing this, it can stand out from the rest of the magazines as it striking out and its different to other magazines. This masthead subverts from the other typical magazine mastheads as there's a lot going on in the masthead alone, however its a good idea as it goes with the theme of the magazine and the film 'inception'. Moreover as total film is a known magazine, the image covers a part of the name but this may be because the magazine wants to focus on promoting the film. What is also unusual about the masthead is it blends in with the background so much, the title of the film is stood out a lot more, however, this could of been done purposely so that people could tell that this is the title of the film and to pay attention more to the films than because the magazine is a well known company.


 * __Image:__** This image looks unusual however this may just be on purpose to represent the movie, on the bottom of the film title, it says 'inside the ultimate head trip' this could of been the reason the image is like this. The actor looks confused and shocked, and as it says an 'ultimate head trip' it could just symbolise the film as the film could just have a lot messages to understand and symbolism itself. Also the sell line "mind-blowing" is also representative is this facial expression, the actor has definitely stayed in character. Also, the image shows a slight shadow, like half of this face is in light and the other in shadow, this could symbolise that he's in hiding or that he wants to be hidden in the movie. it could also mean that its a mystery as hes in the dark and you don't know what goes on in the dark.


 * __Sell lines:__** The sell line 'THE MIND-BLOWING ISSUE' tells the audience that this current issue is packed with information that is worth while reading and buying. moreover, it says it twice when it says 'the 27 most MIND-BLOWING movies ever!' this will entice people to buy the magazine and read what they have to offer since the magazine //claims// to offer the best movies ever. Also it says in a big circle stamp 'TRON, everything you need to know' this could bring in people who want to see the movie TRON but done have the time to watch it or really loved watching it. because it claims to tell you everything you need to know, it could possibly mean that the magazine is going to reveal more than the movie does.


 * __Colours:__** The main colours used here are grey white and red. in this colour scheme red really stands out. the magazine probably used to to connote danger or fear which could represent the movie which is the reason to why it could of been used. The colour red is used to highlight important things that want to be stood out so that its one of the first thing the eye catches. for example, some of the sell lines are in red bold font standing out. having the sell lines in red can make people read the magazine.


 * __Layout, forms and conventions:__** The layout of the magazine seems a bit cluttered and all over the place, however this could just possibly be because of the background image as there's a lot going on. However, this may be done on purpose to represent the film. Moreover, conforming to the stereotypical film magazines, the bar code is situated at the bottom corner of the magazine.

Film magazine comparison



Film magazines can sometimes require a lot of information or little, depending on the type of magazine and what movie, they are trying to promote can target to different people. Empire magazine and total film are two different types of film magazines. Both have some similarities and differences although use some of the same typical forms and conventions of a magazine. Both of the magazines and promoting the film 'inception' however there are many differences to how they promote to reach their target demographic. Both magazines conform to the masthead being on top of the magazine in bold, however both stand out in different ways. As for total film magazine, their masthead seems to be edited and more thought about than empires masthead. Total film looks more creative with how to make it stand out from the other magazines, its a unique way of editing the masthead which subverts from the typical bold one coloured masthead like empire. Also, the films title is in the middle of the page which is one of the first things we look at since its placed in the middle.Also, both magazines show the actor in costume. Having the actors in costume make a better effect and atmosphere to the magazine, as it shows them in character, it may reveal a bit more about what the movie is about. Having them in costume can entice people more towards reading the magazine which is proven here as both these magazines have the actor in costume. As for the other forms and conventions of the magazine, both have a bar code situated at the bottom corner of the magazine making it look neater and in place rather than it being in the middle or the top. They also both have the issue date, price and their film magazine website at the top.Both magazines have edited the look of their front cover to represent the film inception. in both you can tell they have used photo shop to edit the background, image and sell lines to give illusions and effects.The way they place their sell lines are different, as for Empire it seems abit more in order and neater while total film has it all over the place. Empires sell lines show that it subverts from typical magazine covers as its not straight going across the page, it looks original. However just by looking at the magazine, you can tell that total film shows alot more sell lines than empire does, but this could be because the image is more stood out and larger than it is in total film making the image the center of attention.

Film poster campaign analysis

Harry potter is a fantasy/adventure/mystery film. These four campaign posters have presented the genre, mood and atmosphere of the film well. All of these posters are pretty dark and colorless just by looking at them however, in each photo, there is something that strikes out and stands out from the poster even though the colors are mainly black and gray. All posters follow the typical forms and conventions of a magazine with there own tagline. As this is part 1 of the last films of harry potter, the campaign posters had to stand out and so which it has.

The colours used in all posters is black, a majority of the poster is black. this is probably done on purpose to represent the movie, to portray darkness and mysterious as we don't know what goes on in the dark. however there are differences in all posters. The first photo shows the picture of Harry Potter; it will be instantly recognized by fans of the genre.It doesn't have much text or information about the film except from the title and the tagline 'the end begins'. these sort of posters would normally be seen in bus stops/ bill boards etc where people don't have enough time to actually read all the text on the poster. This poster is relying a lot on the photo itself as it is the main focus of this particular poster, as its so close up to his face, it draws a lot of peoples attention towards it.The actor is probably the center of attention in this poster as maybe it will self promote because hes such a well known actor, however, this could also be done to represent the film and how harry potter is always in the center of attention and everyone's eyes are on him. There is a contrast between the light and dark in all posters which could connote authority to the characters. The tagline says 'the end begins' this can tell the audience a hint about what will be happening in the film, maybe loads of fights and violence between people. Also the actors face looks strong and in power which could also help promote the poster because it is so eye-catching.The poster is very dark which represents evil, a major theme in the film, and Harry looks extremely distressed which shows that he is up against a great challenge. Very little is revealed in this poster which leaves the audience wanting to know more about the film, which may encourage them to visit the website shown at the bottom which builds synergy. Production companies are shown at the bottom which may be recognized. There are several other similar posters each with a separate character, which may encourage the audience to look out for the many varieties in which the poster comes

In both middle photos the images are different from the first one as its a two shot of different characters showing more background and colour. In the first of the two photos it shows they are both wearing red. this could connote that there is danger and fear within in film. Moreover, this first one has a different tag line to the other, this could possibly be because of the characters in the photo represent the tag line and how are are in the movie itself. this could hint out to us how the film is and what we would expect. The tagline shows how this will be the ‘epic finale’ of the series, which may encourage the audience to come and watch it to discover how the story ends; its other purpose is to remain in the minds of the audience so that they remember the film in future and a brand image can be built. The release date is given which allows the audience to know when they can see this film, and production companies are shown so the audience can see that the film is the work of professionals, so should be good. The title at the bottom uses an already established icon of the Harry Potter series so the audience can immediately know what film this poster is advertising. Both images show that the characters are behind something, covering part of there faces, this could represent the mystery and the secrets in the film as it looks like they are hiding from someone.

The last poster shows bad weather, which could be representing the film

This long shot image shows one of the many battles between the antagonist and protagonist. As its a long shot, you would usually see these sort of posters on a bus. The thing that stands out straight away in this poster is the title as its in the center of the poster and is highlighted my the editing of the lighting in the background from the wands. In this case, the font over power the images in the background as there isn't much to look at in the background.compared to the title.

Audience research

__Introduction into audience research:__ During a lesson with my media class, we did a focus group session where we came up with several questions of what we would like to know more about in trailers and what to put into trailer. We then all contributed to answer the questions as a group to get answers of how we see specific trailers to have and to not have. By doing this focus group we get to analyse what people want to see and don’t want to see in trailers and therefore this allows me to produce a better trailer for my audience. I then recorded and analysed what the focus group said into simple paragraphs to be more easily red.

From my audience research, it has allowed me to think carefully about what to include within my trailer and pictures for my poster as it gave me a better insight into what my target audience expect to see.



Main location planning Our trailer is of a slasher/stalker film genre. From research and audience feedback we thought to have one of our main settings in a dark isolated area which represented our story line well. We found a underground tunnel, Greenwich foot tunnel, which portrayed a lot of what we wanted to portray in our film, as the setting was dark with contrast of the lighting, it could have been used to connote the protagonist and antagonist in our main character.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 300%;">Magazine photo ideas I like both these photos for my magazine cover as its just a simple photo of the main character. I wanted the photo to be simple as photo so that the text and information around the page would be easier for me to put on. from previous coursework, i realized i had too much going on the in background and so i realized if i had a simple close up shot it would represent the magazine much better. Also, because my genre is stalker slasher, i thought a close up in low lighting would create mysterious atmosphere which is needed for my specific genre. The darkness in the photo portrayed a sense of fear around her as you don't know what going on around her.

I could do loads of Photoshop editing with these photographs such as enhancing the photograph, making her eyes stand out and editing flaws in the photo such as the shadow of her nose.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 300%;">Poster photo ideas



__**Poster idea photo 1:**__ This photograph of the main character looking over her shoulder is the first photo of my poster ideas. I chose the actress (Ronalyn) to be in this position because she looks mysterious as she’s not showing herself properly like she’s hiding her identity which is the reason to why I chose this positioning as the plot of this film is about a girl with another identity. The setting of the poster is in a tunnel which will be featuring in the film, which I consider to be a good setting environment for my particular film as it looks cold and dark which sets the atmosphere for both my poster and the film for my audience. Moreover, wearing black adds more emphasis on the fact that she is mysterious as it connotes darkness and mystery as you don’t know what’s going to happen as you can’t see much. However, this poster looks a bit plain and could possibly look better as a magazine, but there is loads of space around the actor to show my creative style on Photoshop to go with my title ‘shattered’ and my tagline ‘There’s something sinister in her reflection...’. I could edit my photo to look like it has shattered glass.



**__Poster idea photo 2:__** This photograph of the main character and someone else blurred out in the background suggesting someone is following/stalking her as he looks slightly scared/ frightened. I chose this positioning for my poster as it clearly shows what this film is about, someone being stalked, which I thought was a good idea. The main character is looking straight onto the camera which makes the poster more strong and effective as she looks straight at you. However, looking at how the photo looks now, it doesn't look much like a poster therefore i would be editing out and enhancing a few things such as the people in the background and cropping the photo onto a landscape photo making it a poster a billboard or train station. For this particular poster, as the picture is quite strong, i am not planning to put loads of writing on it as I won’t the photograph to be standing out and be in centre of attention rather than the title. Cropping this photo would mean that her face will be more zoomed making the poster more powerful in attracting more wider range of audience as they pass by this poster.



<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 200%;">Font ideas: for poster... These fonts are ideas of how i wanted my poster title to be like. I chose a theme of 'cracked' or 'broken' font as my title is called "shattered" represented the shattered glass which will be featured in my trailer. All have the same theme going on however some are easier to read than others. At first, i thought the best fonts were //'Aerial demented'// and //'skratch punk'// and they seemed like they went the most with my film, however the font //'aerial demented'// seemed unclear but i liked how much the had the 'shattered' effect therefore i decided to merge both fonts together still having the clarity of the word but effect of 'shattered glass'.

__ FINAL POSTER __

This is my** //final// draft** of my //__film magazine__// featuring the main actor in the my film 'shattered'. From the movie magazines that I have found and analyzed, the photos seemed very dominant against the sell lines as it usually promotes the one of the upcoming films that is featured in the magazines. In film magazines, I found that there could either be loads of editing/dominant photograph and minimal sell lines/writing or either simple photo with more sell lines to promote the film and magazine. **__Photo:__** My photo in my film magazine is of a close up shot of the main actress in my feature film 'shattered'. Having the photograph and a close up puts emphasis on the emotions portrayed on her face which helps to know what the film is about, possibly by the low key lighting of the photograph, the darkness could symbolize something hidden showing some sense of mystery within the film which fits in with the story line of a girl not knowing her other identity. Moreover, the direct contact of her eyes with the camera lens looks as if she is looking straight into the audiences eyes pulling them towards the magazine.<span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: left;">Moreover, the photo presented was influenced by the fact that having a straight faced image of the character seemed to be most effective following the rules of thirds within the magazine as shown in the empire magazine. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> From looking at other magazine covers such as empire and total film allowed me to develop real media forms and conventions. From the magazines that I was analysing, the Empire magazine featuring Tron was more simplistic focusing more on the image than the text whereas in total film the focus was more towards the text. Therefore I thought to adopt the similar forms and conventions of empire such as the large bold masthead, large main story title of the film and other multiple text conventions such as highlighted texts. I thought to portray similar content in my magazine as it would be most suitable for my target audience and would seem more attractive. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: left;">Unlike empire I chose to put magazine title on top of the main image as the magazine itself isn't established. **__Font/text:__** The font used in the feature film's name uses the same fonts featured in the actual films posters going with the same forms and conventions to promote the film. The fonts used here were used in all my other media products which i thought would be effective as it would make the audience become familiar with my trailer. Moreover, I chose the colour red to signify the blood and gore within this film as a slasher stalker film suggesting the thriller.
 * __Layout:__** The layout of my magazine was influenced by many of the other magazine covers analysed.

FIRST DRAFT POSTER



This is also my first draft of my poster however this poster would be seen on bus stops as it is a portrait photography. This poster could be seen as effective as the the glass/mirror effect around the model suggests she's the "shattered" person. however from doing other drafts of posters I decided to go with a different poster as this poster wasn't as clear about the plot and was not as effective in the combination on my trailer than other posters I had created.



<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 200%;">FINAL DRAFT POSTER

This is my first draft of my __poster__. As this is a landscape poster, I would imagine this to be on billboards or train stations Photo: I like this photo and decided to choose this photo as it really shows the plot of the film as the main actress seems to think she's being followed or stalked which this photo obviously portrays. her face gives off the sense of her being frightened or scared. I decided to choose this poster as my __**<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">FINAL POSTER **__ as it connotes more as you can see the dark back ground more and a showy figure behind the model, cleary showing that this trailer will be about a stalker.


 * __Photo:__** I decided to stick to this poster as i thought it connoted more than my other ideas. the setting and the facial expressions portray more mystery and fear as the photograph is taken in dark settings wearing dark clothing which could be interpreted as the 'unknown'. this goes well with my trailer/genre as stalkers are always unknown to the protagonist and clearly by showing this here on my poster by blurring the antagonist wearing a cape represents the genre straight away making it quick and easy to realise.


 * __Layout:__** this poster is of a landscape form, so keeping it simple was what i had in mind. usually landscape posters are situated in train stations and bill boards where people only have a quick second to look at it, so by keeping text to a minimal and making the photo stand out keeping everything neat and tidy was what i envisioned for an effective poster to be seen.


 * __Font/text:__** My poster includes many of the vital forms and conventions in a poster such as the film title, film ratings, cast names and more which i had found from analysing may different real media products. i kept everything minimal and short to ensure that the main focus was on the image. like with all my other media products, i kept the font style the same and the colour scheme the same, i thought this was effective as keeping things similar would make this more memorable for the audience and familiarize themselves with my poster and want to watch the trailer.
