Evaluation Question 1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop, or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? - Trailer

My trailer for Ripper's replica uses all of the conventions that'll be used in any trailer on the psychological thriller genre.

These conventions include:

• A range of different camera shots and angles
• Music soundtracks
• Titles
• Dialogue

Camera Shots and angles

Due to most trailers consisting of multiple camera angles and shots, I wanted to reduce the amount that I use while still have a broad range. I have also done this I i thought hat it was vital to convert the story of the film through the camera shots and angles as well as in the plot to ensure that the audience understand what's happening. The shots that I have used in my trail include: close up, mid shot, wide shot, and a high angle shot.

Below is a Psychological thriller trailer that uses wide range of shots

Music Soundtrack

I most trailer there is music that creates tension and drama throughout the trailer as a way of enticing people into wanting to come and see the film. I originally wanted to use two separate pieces of music to highlight the contrasting emotions, but then I decided to use one piece of music from V for Vendetta called Evey Reborn. I chose this piece of music because i believer that I tells its own story, one of paranoia and distress, and only enhances the drama of the trailer.

Titles

The titles in my trailer help to explain the story to the audience so that the pot is understandable. The titles do this in a way that they allude more then there is due to the ellipsis's that I use in the trailer for my text. The titles were always something that I was going to add as I felt that they are a vital part of the trailer as they help to tell the story.

Dialogue

the dialogue in my trailer, at first is the main character presenting to the camera as part of his weekly show on the internet entitled Ripper's Replica. The other part of my trailer is a monologue from the main character and acts as a blurb to the audience as it tells the audience whats going on in the tailer without revealing too much

Overall in my film trailer i have used several conventions to create a professional film trailer that relate to the psychological thriller genre.
