Evaluation Questions

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

With the group having a dicussion about our media prject we think we have a few techniques that real media products have. We studied thriller films and tried to manipulate some of the angles and editing used with in intense moments in the film. Gareth and I focused on the editing and trying to build tension to have the audiences attention grabbed. Also with Amber and Rebekah creating the sound track to help create a more intense feeling about the opening. 

2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

3. What kind of media institution would distribute your media product and why?

A film franchise would distribute my media product as it is the opening of a film. However, it may also be distributed as a film for television. 

4. Who would be the audience for your media project?

With our media project being a thriller film and perhaps under the sub genre of horror/thriller the type of audience we intend our film to appeal to would be teenagers of the age of 15/16 through to any aged adult.  After carrying out research into the ages of thriller film viewers, evidence suggested that the previously stated age range were more likely to watch our type of project; boys more so than girls.  But we however have aimed our project at both genders.

5. How did you attract/address your audience? 

We attracted our audience by making the characters in the audience's age range. The audience's ages would be teenage, so we therefore made the age's of the characters the same. 
We also made the story line of the Thriller something they could relate to, as the story line involves the girl planning a party, and the audience, being at a teenage age, are thinking about attending or planning parties.

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this project?

7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product

I think we have learnt new techniques in camera work and using different angles to create the effect we wanted for our project. our group also used a wider range of equipment from the dolly and track and a tripod, but in our first preliminary task we only used camera and tripod.
For our preliminary task we had a larger group, this allowed use to share our roles to make the task become easier to work with, and making it fast to complete.
