In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
The overall reaction to our teaser trailer was highly positive. I am pleased with the comments made about our product in terms of their appreciation for atmosphere through lighting and colour, something we focused on.
''loved it :) i really like the green (night vision) effect aswel as the close up on the car.. the music fitted really well. only improvemnet would be to make sure all camera shots are steady- but apart from that it was really good. well done xx'' - Kiera Stevenson, 18
''I looove the nightmode bit where it's all shakey and green but I don't think the song goes'' - Christie Brown, 17
''I thought the music fits really well and the night vision bit was a good effect but the camera angle in the part with the car could be a bit steadier'' - Emily Brampton, 17
''I really enjoyed it! it was fitting with the genre and quite disturbing! it defenetly set me up for wanting more! i loved the use of colour and i would see this film becasue it gave wet my apetite enough to want to see it, but didn't give too much away. I would give it a 8/10.'' - Jordan Hayward, 17
''It was pretty random, interesting though, thought it might have been a music video to start with until I saw a date and that at the end, if the film is supposed to be a horror, might want to add a little bit of gore like the bit with the hammer and that, so its clearer what it is'' - Robert Dudley, 20
''I like it, the music suits the theme really well, I liked the green nightvision shots, when they were shakey, it was really effective'' - David Griffiths, 19
''The lighting and colour contrast is clever, I like the random skyline at the end'' - Tristan Barrett, 18
''It was fantastic! the shakey camerawork, works really well in nightvision, it makes it seem really realistic, and the skyline part at the end made it!'' - Johnathon Sheriff, 20
The aesthetics of the product were irrelevant to the atmosphere we wanted to create, so our focus was on the relevant codes and conventions of our chosen genre which was a collaboration of a psychological thriller/ horror. I think this in itself shows originality, combined with our selective use of micro-features, which are carefully selected.
Lighting proved extremely effective, I espesially like the chiaroscuro effect we created in the studio using the professional singer lights, this is closer to film noir, but the concept of mystery and creating something sinister, is relative to our film. The blue hue at the beginning is not edited; we thought it added an eery luminesence to which complimented mystery in our piece, this is something commonly found in teasers.
The parts of the sequence shot in night vision and manual focus was meant to distort Rosie's point of view, cause disorientation and nausia when the camera begins spinning and shaking as well as concluding to a sense of manic with the music complimenting this, throughout.
We also thought about colour, the nightvision green and the red from Rosie's top and the car break lights, are traditional colours of which typically, disturb the audience.
We also stumbled upon some fantastic graffiti, of which you only recieve a glimse of in the teaser; this included the blonde girl and asian man wearing glasses, followed by the superman logo.
This is relevant to our narrative as Ali saves Rosie from murder. Furthermore, we used a mixture of slow and fast cutting rhythms in the editing; this is what horror teasers use as standard; aswell as the pschological thriller sub genre. We also used jump cuts to maximise time periods and emphasize the length of the shot in the actual film, it also creates a 'choppy' effect, which is within the codes and conventions of the genre and the teaser trailer format.
