A gif animated image,
it is a pixel animation
like my product will
be, it’s also the same
character as the one I
will be doing, he is
swinging a sword and
the picture has a mix
of dark browns and a
light blue background.
Younger fans may like
watching it because
it’s a well animated gif
so it would be cool to
see how detailed the
animation is.
Existing Product
This is the original fight between Jaime Lannister and Ned Stark, two of the main characters of the show, they are in
Kings Landing which is a fictional city created by G.R.R Martin (The Author of the books). The Angle is side on so we can
see them clashing swords.
It is light, and the characters are both wearing some sort of leather outfit, they both have prop swords which they are
fighting each other with, the colours are light creams and dark shades of brown.
The audience for this scene would be for older teenagers or adults that watch the show ‘Game of Thrones’ or anyone
who’s interested in swords fights or the like.
Existing Product
This is a poster of the well received film Braveheart, it is a full body shot of Mel Gibson
dressed as the famous William Wallace, he is standing in front of a sunlit sky, which in my
mind signals hope, he is holding a great sword, and the font used is strong and makes it look
like a film about history.
Existing Product
This is the animated Lord of the Rings film, it is a drawn poster for the film, the angle is quite
strange as it almost puts us below Gandalf as his sword is bearing down on the ground, Frodo
and Sam stand by him but look out of place in the world of violence, the lighting is mostly
dark except from a light part in the sky which signifies the small good agaisnt evil.

other products were composed of and how they did their fights, and other scenes.
– Questionnaires
• The questionnaires helped because I could get an idea of what people liked in
fantasy/medieval shows/films, so now I can incorporate those things into my

than the questionnaire so I could really get an idea of what people like.

– I got a decent response, most people seemed to like the fantasy/medieval genre and

when I make it I can incorporate all these things into one big piece, which will garner to
a larger audience.
– How did you distribute your survey? Give an advantage and a disadvantage
– I distributed it to my friends from my city/old school, they gave me answers pretty quick,
so I was able to really get an idea of what people in the range of 14-19 liked about

shows/films.
