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

  • Teaser trailer
Use
- Title, shown towards the end, which is 'Offline'
- 'Coming Soon' shown straight after the title
- Conventional voice-over throughout
- Production/distribution company shown at the beginning
- Typical horror genre aspects: action, fast pace editing, dark scenes, low-key lighting, Carol Clover's Final Girl theory, implied male as villain and female as victim.





Develop
- The trailer is based around the social networking site, Facebook.



Challenge
- You get a good sense of our story in our trailer as you see quite a lot more of the narrative, there are images of Georgia that look a bit haunting, and it looks unlikely that she survies; however, she is supposed to be the final girl.

  • Magazine
Use
- The biggest font is for the masthead, 'Close Up'
- There are sub stories down the right hand side
- Barcode
- Price.



Develop
- I have used more text and less images as you might not normally expect on a magazine front cover.

Challenge
- The page is set out like what you would see on a computer screen, a lot to do with the social networking element
- The title of film is not as big as you would normally expect; however, the size i have used works well with the layout and the inspiration i got from the Facebook page.


  • Poster
Use
- Huge font for the title of the film, 'Offline', cast and crew information at the bottom, image 



Develop
- The picture of Georgia being tortured is inside the text, which is quite usual.

Challenge
- The fact that i have just included a few colours (blue and black) which i have done as it is related to the Facebook colour scheme, of blue.
