Typography- Exsisting Media;


As seen previously in 50 Cent's "In da Club" music video and The Matrix, the typerwriter effect has been very popular among different ranges of exsisting media products. We thought this idea would be very effective in our advanced year to prove we could step up the game another notch and make the typography come alive (instead of being boring!).

Typography- Typewriter;

After researching different typography we decided a typewriter effect would work well with our piece as the phone call to 999 is formatted in a similar fashion therefore we wanted to follow the conventions of an emergency. The font above is AMERICAN TYPEWRITER.


Founded on the Macs via Imovie it was simply understood and followed the conventions we found in 50 Cent's music video "In da Club" and The Matrix.


We used dafont.com at the beginning of our research but soon found that every font in the 'Typerwriter' catergory looked very similar. The only difference that made them stand apart were:
  • distortion
  • colour
  • boldness
  • gaps/closeness between letters

Photo for Review Page;

Articles follow certain conventions whether it's about a feature film or niche production. An outstanding image which draws in it's audience could arguable have a big impact on whether the film is a success or not. An example for this is an article on Batman (1989) found in TIME magazine.


The effect of having an explosion behind the batmobile really emphasizes the excitement which surrounds this film. It is also important for your main image to connote what happens in the media piece therefore our establishing shot which as a group we decided is really effective (and cool) shall fade into our review.

Photographs for poster, review & flyer




These photographs were taken during/before our filming process in order to help develop our ancillary tasks. The photos had many different locations such as shots of the smashed car were taken in a local motor garage. We encountered problems while taking photos especially in the college car park with shots of joe lying on the floor. To avoid health and safety issues we had to barrier off part of the car park so no accidents were caused in the process.
