Final draft of Posters

Image
Final draft I have made these posters for my final draft. The first one has my model standing on a tree trunk looking into the distance. I have edited it in a way that makes the picture brighter and less dark, but if I was making this poster again, I would make sure that when I re shoot this picture l, you are able to see the clothes such as the t shirt more clearly. I would do this as the clothes are supposed to be the centre of the poster, so I need to make them be more of the focus. I would also have it so that she is at a right angle as the picture looks slightly odd because she is tilted slightly.

The audience may look back at him with a sense of want or jealousy as that is the life they want to have. However, the female audience may be looking at the video with a sense of disgust as they know that that is a dream and not a reality, but also because the women in the video are dressed very scarcely, they may dislike the video because of ...

Stranger Things

Genre- 1. What are the formal codes and conventions of Long-Form TV Drama?   Dramatic narrative (storyline) Multiple sub-plots  Ensemble cast (each character – own storyline) Main plot is usually resolved within the season  High production value sound/emotive Expressive lighting techniques dependent on sub genre  Scheduled Prime Time.  2. How similar or different are the formal conventions used in Stran ger Things?  Stranger Things is a Netflix show so will not be on TV in the prime slots, which means that it is regularly available for fans to watch on demand, but also may encourage more people to buy a Netflix conscription as they have heard about the popular show an want to watch it for themselves, which they are only able to do through Netflix. Also, the main plot of Stranger Things is not solved within the season and is spread across multiple seasons. 3. How does this help to develop the genre and the way in which audiences respond (po...
