In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms of conventions of real media products?
My film is an action/thriller, i think it represents these genres as it starts with a black car that pulls up in the car park which often shows a sign of upper class or importance. the man that gets out has a file in his hand which you never find out what is in the file or why it is so special, this suggests the thriller genre. When the man goes to walk into the school two men are waiting for him and as soon as he walks past they suspiciously follow him the man begins to run which starts off the action packed chase. I think our film has similar aspects of other films like casino royale as it is mysterious in parts but explains itself in the end, our film is mainly different due to coming from our own imagination.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
I think the two men that first appear in the atrium at school could be stereotyped as thugs, they are wearing dark clothing with their hoods up. These two characters then end up chasing after the other main character and causing mayhem which suits the stereotype given to these two characters. The other character maybe seen as upper class and looks important, i think he is seen in a positive light as he looks like a good person with high importance as he is carrying the secret file. whereas the stereotypical 'thugs' would be seen in a negative light. When we were finalizing our idea we set out to make the characters look stereotypical so their clothing was meant to look upper class and thugs.
Who would be the audience for your media product?
The predicted audience for our film would be boys, from the ages of 14 to around 50 years of age, as they seem to react to mild violence . As it is an action thriller it wouldn't appeal to many girls as they would rather watch chick flicks, comedies or romantic films.
What kind of institution might distribute your media product and why?
i think that warner bros would be interested in distributing our film as they have distributed films like The Martrix which is the same sort of genre as our film. Also due to our film being similar they may be intregued with our film idea and our pitch, the matrix was a successful film and hopefully they can make our film as succesful.
How did you attract/address your audience?
I attracted my audience by using loud music that makes the audience eager to watch what happens next when the chase starts. There is some mild violence in this film which helps to contribute to a feel of adrenaline this is why i chose males from the age of 14 to around 50 years of age as they react better to these types of films.
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
When i started this course i didnt have a clue how to use a Mac, iMovie, Blogger or a camcorder, soduring the course I have gained this skill of being able to use them, with the help of my teacher. I have learned to use these effectively within this course and being able to use them on my own without making any mistakes.
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
Looking back at my preliminary task, i have progressed further in the skills i have gained while doing this course. I used imovie to edit and put together my final film, i had to edit sound tracks in and take them back out again. i also had to edit and cut some parts that i didnt need, at the start of the year i wouldnt have known how to do this. I do think ive progressed as you can tell from the difference of my preliminary task and my full final project.
