"A process needed for problem solving…not a special gift enjoyed by a few but a common ability possessed by most people"-Jones 1993

Post production research and planning

Links to my first year in terms of deciding in post production to film more and add to the film in order to achieve a longer film of a better quality. Links to second year as I restructured much of the trailer for pacing. Also had to change dramatic plot/trailer elements due to location constraints such as the car park.

"The making of the new and the re arranging of the old"-Bentley 1997

Media conventions, post production, digital technology

Links to my film within ancillary task as I was able to take a classic poster appearance from artists such as Saul Bass who's work featured within the advertisement of Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo.

"Creativity results from the interaction of a system composed of three elements: a culture that contains symbolic rules, a person who brings novelty into the symbolic domain, and a field of experts who recognise and validate the innovation."-Csikszentmihalyi 1996

"There is no absolute judgement [on creativity] All judgements are comparisons of one thing with another."-Donald Larning

Media conventions

Who was your product aimed at?

Predominantly male, working class, age 20-40. Themes of drugs, location, genre all help secure this demographic. Also could talk about how I attempted to expand my audience by appealing to women through a questionnaire.

Media Language:

I used action code within numerous examples such as the gun being shot and the follow up of blood. Enigma code is seeded throughout the trailer as the use of the final act of the film first which takes place in an interrogation room with bruised features. This causes the audience to wonder how he managed to get himself into this condition. Semantic code of the use of red within the trailer/title used to highlight connotations to villainy and violence, idea of violence before it happens is granted from tools they carry.

Within first year-Enigma code featured strongly throughout the opening in order to give the audience a sense of mystery surrounding the images that are flashing within the person's mind.
