Remember that you are focussed on the Conventions of a trailer, and the specific conventions of the genre used.
Areas which you must comment on:
- Editing: types of cuts used (straight cut, fades to white or black, dissolves from one image to another), pace of editing, rhythm, whether it mirrors the sound cuts of not, freeze frames and other special editing effects.
- Sound: diegetic or non-diegetic, use of music (including well know songs), voice over/narration (either by character or the 'deep voiced movie trailer man'), synchronised dialogue
- Titles and written language: use of titling and credits, use of written language on screen either over picture, black or another background, position timing and font of titling, how narrative, theme or tome are conveyed through the written language (or not), titles for film marketing including credits, representation of institutions, individual etc.
- Picture: use of camera shots/angles/movement, mise en scene including costume/set/location/lighting etc., acting and moments of drama/comedy/etc. shown, casting (importance of cast and how they feature)
Remember, the more detail you write now the better your research will look later.

OPEN EVENING REQUEST
Open evening is coming up on the 29th of September and this means getting the Media Studies room ready to impress potential students. To do this I need your help both before the day AND on the night.
I know some of you were prepared to help in the holidays and due to a mix up we didn't quite make it happen. Now however is your chance.
There will be two rewards - one in terms of house points and another which may include food or chocolate. However the real reward is knowing that you have done a charitable thing and supported both your school and your subject well. I hope some of you will be willing and able to get involved.
Preparing the room including displays and emptying boxes after school starting next week.

Welcome back
Welcome back to year 11.
Friday's lessons will be about preparing the ground for your Assignment 3 projects.
You will need to be making notes during the lesson on the trailers we watch, and identifying the codes and conventions of both the trailer form and the specific genre of the films.
These notes will need to be transfered into onto your blogs and will in time be written up to go into your portfolio.
The focus on Friday will be CONVENTIONS OF A TRAILER but this doesn't mean that we won't begin to discuss other elements too including camera. lighting, mise en scene, editing, sound and written language.
Brush up on your use of media terms and be prepared to work fast and efficiently.

LATEST ACTION ADVENTURE TRAILERS
Here are some of the latest Action Adventure Trailers - good to view but be warned, they are very CGI (Computer Generated Images) heavy so may not be a particularly good guide to what you should be trying to create.
However, you could think about the planning of the trailer, the way narrative is drip fed to us through the images, dialogue and sound effects. How people and places are represented and how the audience is directly targeted.
I particularly like the first one - Super 8 as it is clearly aimed at a family audience. Think about whose POV we get in each of the trailers and how this helps us to identify the audience. Also make a note of who the Producers, Directors and Executive Producers are. Then look up what else they have done.
Also note the Lego video game advert which I have put in to get you to think about how important Marketing across different media platforms is. The game helping to advertise the Film franchise. And the the film helping to sell the game and also Lego toys. You may get a question which asks you to think about this.
