Day 15: Evaluation: Relationship

I believe that there is a strong relationship between my Print-Product and my Media Product, The picture above and below is located in both the trailer and the magazine poster. This shows a strong relationship between the two as the pose, the character and the unique style of the gun are easily recognisable by the viewer. The character is essential to the to both of the products as he is the main character within both of these, this makes him essential to be recognised by the viewer. The costume and props are also similar, this is because during the recording and trailer of the movie the gun that is used is a unique style, which adds flavour to the character and diversifies him for the audience. In the print product the below image has been edited so that the main actor is within an appropriate location, I will come to this later as it also explains more of the relationship between the two products.

This shot is a scene from Hot Fuzz, I had analysed this video previously and have taken inspiration with the villain, I have chosen to make my villain apparent but still mysterious through the use of a costume as did Hot Fuzz, this adds suspense to the trailer and the film and gives the viewer an interest in them both. This shows a relationship between my Product Research and my trailer, but it also shows a link between the trailer and the print product as the mysterious villain is used within both.

 Here is a shot from a scene within the RushHour trailer that I had researched during my Product Research, I have also chosen to include a ticking bomb within my trailer as it creates suspense and reveals a major theme of the film without potentially spoiling the film for the viewer. It also allows for the villain within the film to have a sense of reason that the viewer can understand which is apparent through my trailer as he is seeking revenge, whereas in rush hour the motive
is money. This shows a direct link between my Product Research and my final product.









My film also follows the conventions of an action/crime movie which allows me to easily relate it to the research that I had preformed for the project, there are many fast cuts within the trailer, over-enhanced sounds for guns firing and master-shots of the guns, these are all included within my trailer which allow the viewer to instantly recognise the theme and effect I was aimed for.

Another strong link between my Print Product and Film trailer is the usage of font style, I have chosen to use the same font within both. This allows me to easily establish a link between the two products through the use of text. The font style is called Pantera and is easily recognisable throughout both of the products.
