media magazine cover by andrew brown

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

Are ancillary text we made was a magazine, we made a film magazine which had a special on are feature film “Run”.

We also included other action films in are magazine to show that this was actually an action magazine.

This would help when it came down to the public we wanted to attract really 18 – 50 males who enjoy a good action film, we believe that this magazine helped up with attracting the public we desired.

But also combined with the trailer which shows an upbeat, fast moving and a lot of action!

So I believe that the combination of both are ancillary texts and the main product that we will be successful in what we wish to achieve.

In what ways does your media product use develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Some of the different conventions we have used includes, very fast and bold fonts, these portrays that this is an action film and any person who enjoys an action film will enjoy are film.

We also used a very simple name for the film “Run” its short and simple, yet cuts straight to the chase, that this film will be an intense and fast film, it also challenges the way movies are filmed by the 4 screens differently filmed at different parts of the film which were filmed at different moments allowing the action to keep going and you pick what section to watch!

We also made a magazine to show the film, which had bright colors and was very eye-catching for the film.

We also believe that the way this film has been filmed, it can pave way for future films to be shot like this especially action films, we are not the first people to use the four shot mode, a few movies out a few years ago did, but more famously the series “24” uses this to depict how much time is left and what is happening this is a very intense way of doing this.

So this is how I believe are media films uses, develops and challenges forms of conventions.
