Explain how you used digital technology to adhere to or deviate from the conventions of real media texts?

I used digital technology to adhere to the conventions of real media texts by having a film teaser trailer that uses a range of camera angles and also to have the footage mainly around the escapades around one main character to give the film its own unique identity. An example of this is in superhero films, such as Spiderman or Iron Man where the emphasis in the full films or the trailer is of the film’s main protagonist and we used editing on the apple macs to shorten clips and also change the transition of shots in order to make this happen. We also used a voice recorder to record the voice of Miles’ angry parents at the part of the trailer where he leaves home. We chose not to show the parents in the shot, because I thought that it would be more effective if you could here the voices only in order to keep the emphasis on Miles with him being the only one in the shot and therefore the pain is felt by Miles and the sympathy is felt by the audience.
I also added sad farewell music to the part of the product where Miles’ turns down help from a stranger and walks into the distance. This adheres to media products with the sad walking away music when a character departs when all hope seems lost. I then for the next clip used uplifting hopeful music when Miles runs through a field in order to balance out the emotions that are being felt by Miles and being shared by the audience. This also shows the unpredictability in the plot to show that there are plenty of surprises in the film. If the film was too predictable then it would risk audience as the different twists and turns help to create the link to real life as the old saying goes: “life is full of twists and turns”. I also tried to show the harshness of reality when Miles is kicked out of the house to show that life can be cruel and also has many trials and tribulations along the way. When using the farewell music I adhered to real media products by fading it out when the uplifting music started in order to make the mood transition more smooth and make the editing seem more professional. All of these things I feel were each important.
