Spider Diagram

As a group we created a spider diagram for examples of production names we could use in our trailer and on our posters. We came up with them by using posters and items around college to come up with them. We used the same colours to highlight which ones were similiar to each other or which ones had a link and which ones we quite liked. Although we liked all of them we wanted one that matched or was relevant to the genre of the film we are doing.  Therefore Chic Productions and Colour Productions was immediately out of the questions as we thought they would be too bright when we are wanting a darker theme. The top 3 we liked were Blue Max Production, Oaktree Productions and Lightening Works.

Analysis of a Film Poster

The Jumper poster is very simple yet effective, the subtle glow surrounding the main character implies the importance of him aswell as giving off the impression that he has some form of supernatural power. The idea of the poster is unrealistic which helps support this idea of a supernatural power as it shows the main character stood on top of a sphinx, which to any 'normal' person would be almost impossible.

The text in the top right hand corner also helps emphasize ths supernatural power that this individual may have, 'anywhere is possible', this may also be a key quote within the film, without giving too much information away to the audience.The title and other institutional information is placed in the bottom right hand corner, this then does not distract the audience away from what the main image represents. It also includes titles of other popular films that the director has made so that the audience are drawn in to go and watch it.

Plan Of What to Do.

Initial thoughts on main idea.

Analysis of Teaser Trailer.

The Harry Potter Teaser Trailer.



The trailer uses the iconic Harry Potter theme tune that has been used throughout all the series' of films. This instantly draws the audience in as the connecetion between the music and the film can be made easily.  There are several fast cuts, with a mixture of close-ups and mid shots, these help to show in detail the characters which are involved. They also arrange these cuts in chronological order, starting from the first in the series of the Harry Potter and showing the journey and the story behind all of the films, which builds up the tension to that of the final film. The fades between cuts show the passing of time, this appears to happen in many trailers therefore I think this will be good to use when making the teaser trailer. The super imposed text help to reinforce the story of the film and tells the audience what is happening in the teaser trailer, it also enhances the climaxes within the films making the audience want to go see it. Teaser Trailer also shows the date of release, production company and what format the film will be found in, this gives the audience extra information about the background behind the film, this will be good to use in my own production of a teaser trailer as it will make it more professional and realistic. The mise - en - scene used in the trailer is similiar throughout all of the Harry Potter films, the use of dark cloaks, wands and mystical animals helps represent the magical world of Hogwarts, which interlinks with the colours and font used which are dark and spooky suggesting something serious is going to happen.

Analysis Of A Promotion Package.

There are now many different forms of marketing a film, with the film industry being so large, platforms such as facebook and twitter are used to promote films alongside many others. I am going to analyse three in detail and they are aTrailer, Website and Poster of Mission Impossible.






This Film is an Action, Adventure, Thriller, it contains fast cuts to enhance the extreme speed of the storyline, jumping from different iconic shots and action scenes, this creates intensity for the audience which I think will make the trailer I make more exciting. This ensures that the audience gets a feel for what is to come within the film. At the very beginning diagetic sound is used along with voice over, this is so that the audience can get a brief insight to the plot, this builds up an atmosphere in which the audience will want to carry on watching. As the trailer proceeds fast, racy upbeat music comes in to help reinforce the idea of the intensity of the film.

The poster also helps contribute to the main idea of the film, with its bold colours and font it re-emphasises the sharp and quick plot of the film as it is straight to the point with the date of release and title, this will be helpful to put in my own poster as it will instantly draw the audiences attention to the poster. This links with the trailer in promoting the film as it has an intense feel with the direct information and genre about the film. The second poster also helps with the promotion of the film as it shows the name of the film and the main actor, with a flare of colour which makes the film seem more attractive for the audience to watch.
