__ FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS FILM TRAILER: __ media type="youtube" key="iJS-wWqVAyk" height="283" width="504" align="center"

In the film trailer we are given the names of the two main characters this attracts a certain audience who are interested in the two celebrities. There is no voice over used throughout the trailer only digetic sound 'dialogue' from the edited scenes, theses are enticing and colloquial tones of voices used. This causes the intended audience to feel part of the movie and engage in the plot a little more. The music used is very up tempo this sets a very mood lifting atmosphere which reflects the genre of the film. The trailer also features the soubndtrack 'jump' by Kriss kross this accompanies one of the scenes and continues to play through out. This is a clever way of targeting the audience as the song is very well known and on popular demand at the targeted audience parties. They have used cross cut editing which sums up the plot in a very fast and effective way. Mise-en-scene tells us the genre of the film which is a hybrid rom-com. The two main starts are known as sex symbols in the public eye so we get an idea of the ideological theme of a sexual relationship. Also costume, hair & make-up shows us the era of the film which is the 21st century. Some of the iconography represents the comic as well as romantic elements of the film. Unfortunately this film has not got a unique selling point as the plot is copied from the movie ‘No strings attached’. However they have used two stars that are of high demand in the public eye to attract audience to their film. The films certificate is a 15 because it contains a lot of adult themes. The film targets the demographic of older teenage male and females, of any ethnicity, region & religion, Into the rom-com genre and are not offended by the themes of sexual nature. We hear dialogue of the two starts and they are establishing the rules of their ‘friends with benefits’ automatically we are more involved with the narrative of the film. The film trailer is successful as it gives you a full synopsis of the whole film. Including the conventions of a rom-com film in very few scenes from the film with edited techniques.

__THE THREE MUSKATEERS FILM TRAILER:__ media type="youtube" key="38an1IAG1TA" height="283" width="504" align="center"

In the film trailer the begining use with an adventurous soundtrack this automatically informs the audience that the characters are going on a journey. The soundtrack is fast which automatically indicates the speed of the journey. The voice-over that accompanies this is very deep and powerful, showing us that the film will have a dramatic narrative. From the mise-en-scene we are given the era of the film. we see this through the clothes worn that are very olden day trends, this is also seen through the womens choice of hair style and make-up. The props used in the trailer automatically let us know the genre of the film and the basic narrative of the film. Swords and other fighting equiptment that are used reflect the dangers to come aswell as the time era again. The trailer uses cross-cutting to place scenes together that relate to the narrative of the film. There is also texts used to intice the audience to the film, clearly stating the film plot. They also feature a slow motion this makes the trailer more visualy interesting. The films targets a demographic of family orientated kind and people who are aware of the prequels. This version of the three muskateers is the seventh remake and therefore not an original plot. The dialogue used in the film consist of the famous line 'all for one & one for all' this is strong and effective. the trailer includes further dialogue from the film and arranges them so they may be seen as mis leading lines. Overall i think the trailer is successful as the audience get an idea of the narrative, mise-en-scene and the time era.

__FILM PITCH:__ GROUP MEMBERS: Tiffany, Lois, Denai, Robert  __Title:__  Five:One __Genre__: zombie horror.

__Tagline__: Play time is OVER?

__Basic plot:__ It’s Halloween. Student finds and old book in the school library 'rise of the dead' telling them how to summon the dead. They bring it to their class mate’s attention during an afterschool detention and 5 of them decide to follow the clues to the school basement while the others decide to leave and go home instead. The teens mess around in the classroom but their book has conjured up evil and causes the zombies in the area to awaken. The non-believers are met by a mass of zombies as they try to leave the school. The remaining 5 are left to fight in a zombie massacre.

__Characterization:__ Zombies will be 5 of the original ten we want to represent different types of characters: The zombies: the logical thinker, Ashley (one of the couples), Dave: the caretaker, Alex: the leader of the pack, The zombie slayers: Stacey: the dumb blonde, Matthew: the Nerd, Icy: Gangster, the teacher the Andrew: other half of the couple.

__Mise en scene:__ Location : school (the school basement, the toilets, the attic, the black staircase, the corridors, the classroom) the church cemetery (St Anthony’s) the park. Lighting: Dark, Chiaroscuro lighting, sepia for when they are reading the book to emphasise its old age. Costume: all in school uniform with individual twists. The dumb blonde will have a short skirt, nerd with glasses, Zombies in ripped and bloody school uniform. Fake blood and special effects make up. Care taker in a jumpsuit. Cinematography/editing: fast motion editing when the zombies are attacking the pupils. Use of titling and point of view tracking to give the effect of zombies following them. Close ups when characters are screaming to express emotion. Resources: weapons found in a school e.g. Brooms, mops, board markers, ruler meters, chairs etc. we will also need actors (around 10 people) computers and editing software and a camcorder.

Our influence was the 2008 movie Day of the dead. We are using similar shots and angles we have seen in the movie. Our unique selling point is the fact that it is set inside school; a school is considered a safe place makes the storyline unexpected.

__GENRE RESEARCH:__







__MAGAZINE ANALYSIS:__

__ POSTER COMPARISON: __

These posters are all for the same film 2004 'Diary of the dead' by George A Romero.

__The main image__

The main image on poster one is not a direct image of charecters but instead a vidoe camera and zombies. this automatically tells the genre of the film. expressing the idea of desertion aswell as zombie massacre. this is also seen through the use of colour and other visual imagery, such as fire. The second poster's image is more explainatory in the basic plot of the film. we see possible group of tourists and or students (through the video camera), being followed or attacked by zombies. this poster sells the significance of the video camera more than the first one. Again there is a portrayal of zombies which is a running theme. The zombies are surronding the main image in the centre which is the group. this poster also sets a scenery and location to the audience.

__The tagline__

The tagline on poster one is ' where will you be when the end begins?' this links well to the main image as the zombie massacre shows that the city/area will be left dissereted. This leads me to belive that poster 1 is a public transport poster because emphasis is put on the tagline that people will see and remeber even if they only see for a few secconds, rather than the second poster which does not feature a tagline.

__The text__ The font of the film title 'diary of the living dead' is in the same font style and size on both posters. This creates a constant link as the it becomes a signature look. this helps audience remeber the film and are able to recognise. The only difference between the two film titles are the colours although similar colour schemes are used throughout the posters. the credist are on both posters making sure audiences are aware of the proffessionalism. however poster one uses reviews in its poster this works out well as an advertising technique. and poster two uses the cinema realese date in bright bolod lettering. this shows me that the poster is used on a bus stop or public billboard.

__The genre__ The genre is shown clearly through both posters. The most obvious is the reference of the zombies portrayed on both poster one and two. The colours used in both posters are also conventional zombie genre films. the tagline is another give away as to what genre to expect from the film. reflecting ideologucal themes of violence and survival of the fittest.

__Characterisation__

Looking at poster two the types of characters are very typical. the nerd who is present in a zombie film being the smartest however weakest and challenging their usual atmosphere. Also the leader who is seen as the female. this shows them as the brains of the group. the idea of the female holding the camera shows her leadership role. There is another male charecter standing there he is seen as the sceptic or possibly the athletic. this person becoms more violent throughout the film. this si shown through his mise- en- scene holding a weapon.
