In what ways does your media product use, develop, and challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

FILM POSTER

While my short film is mostly unconventional, my poster follows a vaguely conventional format in that it has ratings at the top, billing blocks on the bottom, and the main attraction in the middle. However this is where convention ends with my poster as I related it heavily to my short film and so used artistic styles and an experimental design to make it. I challenged conventions of film posters by joining the images and text together; in conventional posters, the text is layered over the main image. For mine, I put the text inside the film title which is a unique approach to poster design. I developed the ratings conventions by using a colour scheme for them that stands out against the rest. My poster reflects conventions and genre mixes in my short film so they link together very closely.

CONCLUSION

Overall, I have used a variety of ways to use, develop, and challenge conventions in my film and ancillary tasks. Using an experimental genre approach meant my work crossed multiple genres and I was able to use, develop, and challenge conventions of all, which made for a more interesting film. Using examples such as "Amelie" and " Bodysong" gave me a chance to experiment with typical styles as well as using my own.
