This is a voice recording about our teaser trailer.

Above are just a few examples of the conventions we followed on the magazine front cover. The first set of images show the '+' sign, ours is on the left hand side this is to advertise more features to be found inside the magazine. The second image shows the issue number and the website for the magazine again ours is on the left hand side, We have also included this on our cover and in a similar size font. We then added a bar code, the one on the left to make our product look realistic when looking at magazine front covers we noticed they were placed on their side rather than horizontally. Next we have used right justified writing, the image on the left this fitted in well with our composition and layout of our magazine. A convention of a one word exclamatory is used to grab the readers attention. ours is on the right saying 'FREE!' in capital letters. Finally we have used
Overall we followed many forms of conventions in our front cover of our magazine however there could be slight improvements eg. Masthead under the actors head. However in my research i did find a magazine front cover that also puts the masthead on top of the photograph. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrzVwkmxY16It6Fw-3_JpPkU4L-niiIo5YgI1A99-auGQUx3U4FkQAHsJlKDvPG2PcMVt1qGr0UNtBRSx7n8a8wRHOyTB78sK1MFq0ILnXV-wjb8E3cde4a_Y9T3_AAspTNQxf0fkm0oQx/s1600/film+magazine+2.jpg
Overall i believe our group have met many codes and conventions on our film poster and it looks like a real media product.

Overall i have gained many skills and experiences throughout my A2 media project. In both filming, research and editing. I have used different pieces of software depending on which products i was producing. I used final cut for my teaser film trailer this made editing simple and easy to use. We were able to add audio and transactions to make our teaser film trailer look more realistic. I will remember these editing skills i learnt as they may help me in the future if i decide to fulfill a career in filming and media. However stressful and hard work this project has been i have also enjoyed it working as a team and producing high quality products and the end of it all, showing an achievement. However if i could for instance, I would improve on my time management as that ruined a lot of my project; so back and alter a few things i would. for instance, In my magazine front cover and poster i would have like to have used more varied camera angles as this would look more professional and stand out more. Also i wish i had took more photos when we were filming that we could have used for our magazine and poster as we would have had more choice and made sure the correct photo was chose for our project. Also I'm not keen on the yellow effect lighting used in our teaser film trailer and would have much preferred to use professional lighting however this would have been to expensive and hard to get hold of. Fortunately our yellowish lighting fits in well with our teaser trailer as it is meant to look secretive and erry looking. I also felt my time management was rushed and i wasn't always able to produce my work to the best of my ability. Finally due to working in a group i believe some individuals put in more work than others making others work harder. My favourite part of the project was filming the teaser trailer as i don't believe i will get the opportunity to do that again. I believe our teaser trailer was a success as i believe that you can tell straight away which genre our film is for and the text and sound effects at the end of our trailer make it sound realistic. If i had more time i would have learnt more about the video camera as i feel our group didn't have much knowledge on how to use the camera to the full of its ability effecting certain shots in our teaser trailer. Our group did a lot of planning and we had in depth discussions about all of ideas i believe this helped as we were all happy with the outcome and very organised making everything run smooth. We gained positive feedback and by using conventions all of our products were individually effective.
