Marketing and Publicity

During Media Studies, we disccussed about Marketing and Publicity. We looked at the different the conventions of an house style.

They are:

• Colours
• Font
• Design/ logo
• Sound
• Layout

We settled on the idea about West Side Story's house-style, e.g colour scheme:

• Red, which connote passion and violence.
• Blue denotes the Dunraven colour.
• Yellow connote hope and happiness.

We also decided on the main things we wouldd be doing for WSS publication. We would be doing a moviee trailer and posters/leaflets. We talked about the sort of things a movie trailer would need and the sort of things we need to make a leaflet.

Whilst deciding on our house style, we looked up some of WSS's own style. Click WSS's to view. We looked at some other films' own house-style and how their cover is designed to fit certain audiences. We also viewed WSS's trailer on youtube to have an idea of how to make ours. ClickTrailer to view.
Tkeyah and myself were assigned to go to cooltext and design a text for the WSS's front cover. You can view this on her blog.
