My Three conventions

Casting, Directing and Credits 

Casting- Here we had to choose male and female actors who could portray the characters that we created. As we were targeting a male dominant society it would seem that having the male actor played by Levi Bent act violent, terrifying and creepy, I believe we have successfully achieved our ambitions do to the footage shown and how professional it looks compared to other real media. Furthermore the female actress used is played by Megan Boyle and we had envisioned her to be represented as the male gaze. This is due to the male dominated society and having her viewed through the male’s perspective allows the audience to experience it in that way. 

Credits- The credits consist of the members of our group and the specific roles that they played part into the final poster and trailer. To help create this we used Photoshop to help us create the credits and Dafont which enabled us to use the specific font used on real media posters/trailers.  Although some of the information regarding the names was false we adapted those media products such as the Friday the 13th poster/ trailer, The Shining poster and Nightmare on Elm Street poster into our own product to allow it become more accurate with other real media text.

Directing- This is a major role that has to be taken seriously in order to have a successful result. At the start of our production we had established who our director was and how we divided up the work between us was supervised by him. While shooting on set our director was there to organise each scene and direct the camera man to each shot that was supposed to be taken.
