evaluation first draft (bullet points) :)

• In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? .It uses conventions rather than setting new ones. . Don’t show the monster. .Quick and snappy shots. .quick edits and different shots of the same things. . • How does your media product represent particular social groups? .our media project doesn’t really represent your average social groupings because : .its not really set in your average world. It doesn’t show any social groups of people. It only has a couple of characters in the 2 minutes that have been filmed and you dont really see enough details of the character to put them into a social group. I think later on in the film it might stereotype people slightly like evil scientists and other characters • What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? 20th centaury fox. .Fox searchlight pictures. Because they have produced some highly notable thriller movies in the past and so could be interested in ours as they share quite a few of the same thriller conventionsas movies they have produced. • Who would be the audience for your media product? .The audience for our project would be 15-50 year olds .people who like to watch a lot of thriller movies, .but it wouldn’t be really suited to much older or much younger viewers, .people that like getting into the action straight away rather then it build slowly . Also how an opening sequence sets the scene and also sometime foreshadows events that may happen later in the movie. • How did you attract/address your audience? .We tried to attract our audience by not showing overly much and kept it very snappy to try and keep the audience guessing what was happening and to make the want to watch the rest of the film to find out, . We also opened it with a heartbeat and some titles with images of a dead person which were meant to attract the audience straight away. . Rather than starting slowly, we tried to start it fast paced to get people in to the action straight away. .We also used different shots to try and attract the audience for instance we used first person shot as well as some different shots in the same scene to make it more snappy. • What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? . Adobe premier pro is easy to use but has quite a few flaws. . Hard to start using if you’re not used to that sort of stuff. . The cameras are easy to set up and use quickly even if you’re not used to using camera equipment they are really simple and easy. • Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? . That the editing stage needs to have more time put into it. .That I need to take more care when timekeeping. .To film earlier rather than later. .To help more in the editing stages.
