Moodboard...

This is our moodboard, we tried to incorprate our main ideas for our trailer by adding pictures and words which are related to the idea we had in mind as well as the genre. A split personality is a mental disorder which is experienced by our main character therefore there are pictures of two people, and also there are two different eyes on one face- this suggests the disorder as well as signifying the different moods which is experienced by the same person, therefore highlighting his unstable mental state.

Also the main feature on the moodboard is the picture directly in the middle- we tried to give our main ideas around this feature. Adding cut-out newspaper words like 'Flashback', 'Virtual Reality', 'Control', and 'A sence of clarity' helps us portray the kind of genre we want and the main ideas of our trailer. These cut-out words also link in with the idea we had for our plot, becuase our main character has a mental disorder words like 'Virtual Reality' relate to his state of mind.

We also used reflecting materials on the mood board, this is to emphasize the idea of someone who has a split personality which is the personality of our main character- we also used rhetorical questions on the mood board especially around the reflective images- this is to create effect and brings forward our genre we also had an idea for the trailer in relation to relfections and mirrors.

Audience Presentation...

This was made for a presentation I did In media, I specifically chose this key concept becuase I wanted develop my knowledge in it. My research on this key concept highlighted the importance of an audience and what they mean to production companies. Everything in relation to media texts is focused around the audience therefore when we developing our ideas we wanted to have a clear understanding to who our audience are, then we could further research our target audience by doing questionnaires to get an idea of what they want and expect from our chosen genre.

Genre Codes & Conventions Research-Inception

Inception-
Dom Cobb who is played by Leonardo Di Caprio is a skilled theif but not for materialistic things, he has mastered the exteremely dangerous art of 'extraction' where he can steal valuable secrets from the subconscious whilst someone is dreaming- this is thought to be when the mind is most vulrenable, after some time Cobb loses everything and is forced to do one final mission for redemption.
Codes and Conventions-
The trailer starts off with Leonardo Di Caprio who plays Dom Cobb talking over the trailer, he is almost introducing his character and gives a little insight in what the plot is going to be about. Also the music plays a significant part in setting a tone for the movie as the trailer progresses the music gets louder as well as the tempo getting faster. This plays well in relation to the footage on screen becuase it aids in adding mystery as well as suspence in the trailer.

Genre Codes and Conventions Research- Shutter Island

Codes & Conventions:
This trailer has been put together very well, the codes and conventions that have a knock on effect of how it is presented to the audience. The quick cuts and music are parallel to one another, the quick cuts shows intertesting parts of the movie but they dont show enough therefore portraying mystery which links back to the genre. Also the parrallel sound which is used throughout the trailer is very effective from points at 1:53 to 2:04 the music increases from calm and composed to very harsh and rapid, notice how the screen shots and gets faster and the music gets louder this has an impact on the audience because of quick increase of the music.
