Section 12: Analysis of completed sequence

Evaluation.

Q1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge the forms and conventions of real media products?

In our film sequence we have used many different forms and conventions of a thriller film that would be used in real media products, for example the use of partial visions, enigma codes and the use of different camera angles in the images of our film you can see the use of these in the first image it is partial vision and it makes people think who is it? What are they doing? This gets the audience thinking and builds up tension as it doesn’t allow the audience to see the full identity of the person as he has something to hide and they begin to wonder what it could be. Also the image of the face starts to make people ask questions as they wonder what the make up he is wearing is and shows to the audience he is actually a clown so the story is now fitting together they have a part of their puzzle complete, The music in the film sequence also makes the a scary atmosphere to build up the tension and indicates that something bad will happen in the films, the use of the voice over gives the audience a sense of the characters identity they know his voice and can hear his planning many real media products would do all the same things.

Q2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

In our film it portrays children as weak and they have no control of what people do to them they have to take it as it comes, the image of the children shows this as the person is just staring at them and they look fearful where he was in control which is also withholding information like what will happen to them.

Q3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Our film is a low budget british thriller film and the film distribution that would have our film would be the likes of Film 4 as it is a british film company and it is associated with channel four which many teen's watch his channel and it is advertised to them so it is appealing to them and to the company it will not be expensive to run.

Q4. Who would be the audience for your media product?
Our target audience is teenagers at the age of 15 + both female and males, the film isn’t gruesome but in areas makes you jump in this particular age group this is very appealing as there is many stages of excitement.

Q5. How did you attract/address your audience?
To attract the audience we have aimed for we did audience research, which was a questionnaire where we asked various questions on many different film ideas and titles and the one we choose to produce was the film that had the highest number if votes. The question’s consisted of things like:
Rate these ten ideas 1-5 according to how appealing they are to you;1 being poor and 5 being excellent.
and
Rate these titles from 1 to 5 in how appealing you think they are:1 being poor and 5 being excellent?

Q6. What have you learned about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Producing this opening sequence i have found out many things and how difficult so aspects are, some areas of the adobe première pro were difficult to use but when you had practiced using the equipment it was easy enough there were many features to be used that improved the film being made e.g effects

Q7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learned in the progression from it to the full product?
Looking back on my preliminary task i feel i have learned some much, one this i learnt was that planning is a vital part of your film making and if it isnt up to scratch you will not make your film sequence successfully, organisasion is the key with it all being ready and set 0ut you can go knowing what you are going to film then come back and do all the editing which is more efficient and quick rather than knowing bits of the film, filming that and then havin to wait for the rest to be do so you can edited it all together it wastes your time. Also i found not to re-lie on somebody else and the technology be willing to carry on be idependant and confident with what you are doing.
