Film Poster
Use : For my film poster I used ther conventions from the film Gladiator. As you will be able to see on my poster there are two armies going towards each other battling. Also the cinematography used relates to gladiator with the armour. I used Steel Tongues as most film posters do to show who has made the film and also i have put the website of the film also at the bottom of the page to get more feedback and the audience can find out more information about the film
Develop: I used the same as two groups going to battle but I changed mine so you dont know who is winning or it would spoil the movie. I just had a plain black background to emphasize the sun which is also in the background and to make the two groups to stand out as they are the most important thing in the film.
Challenge: The storyline that I used is something unusual but effective as i dont think that anybody has used this idea. yes people have used two worlds which could be classed as two worlds like the film The One, But battling for the sun is unique. I changed my poster to landscape to make the image larger and is easier to see what is happening. i also stick the sun inbetween the groups to show what they are fighting for, but you can still tell that they are going to battle.
Film Magazine
Use: The Masthead and the Subtitles were influenced by other film magazines such as The Empire and Total Film to convert it into a similar layout. I tried to keep the colours to a maximum of 3 which is used by most magazines. The main image is right in the middle of the magazine to emphasize the importance of the film. The Main image is the same as mine as it looks effective. I also used Andrew Sarris theory as elements can be seen and can tell what type of film it is from elements with my armour
Develop: Where at the bottom of the page there are sometimes pages that are used for top ten films of 2012 for example, i used the same layout but changed the information to 32 pages of your own work , meaning the audiences work that has been produced. I changed the actors position to look more like they are fighting the the person in the centre looks like he is in control.
Challenge: I changed the perspective of looking at somebody elses film and changed it to looking at your own film trailers and to try and get the audience involved instead of just reading the magazine.
Teaser trailer 
Use: I used the Toderovs theory and followed the conventions of a teaser trailer. It starts off with an equilibrium and then goes into a disruption when the underground people find the warning light of no energy left. Peaks are then found when they are training to get ready for battle and then there is a climax where both groups come together to fight for the sun. The music that we used was similar to all action films.
Develop: Using films such as Gladiator, The One and Transformers, I put it together and created a film with all these films as guidlines. The Gladiator was used for the fighting and the armour, The One was used for the transporting between the two worlds and the Transformers for wanting something off planet earth. This was developed by putting them all together and using different codes and conventions to do this.
Challenge: I went against the Carol Clover theory of having a final girl as it just didnt go with the production of the teaser trailer. As the the underground people are still stuck inthe 19th and 20th century Men are only suitalbe to fight and Women stay at home to look after the children. This is not sexist by the way its just the way it was back then. I also challenged the Laura Mulvey theory as there was no real male gaze in my trailer and was all men apart from
