looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progession from it to the full product?

When reviewing my work from how far it has come from my preliminary task I have realized how much work it takes to direct edit and organises everything from the story board planning to the casting when I look back at my progression I feel I have learnt how to use the camera much more effiently and get the angle of my shot much more confidently without retaking the shot so many times I feel have learnt how to manipulate the camera much better on getting the right effects with the right shot for example when in a more tense seen you are able to move the camera of the tripod to create a more realistic atmosphere to the audience ect. Also I feel I have learnt throughout my progression is how different storylines casting and edits will make the product of my work appeal to different audiences and how you would need to adapt it so it creates the perfect for your product genre.
Also I have learnt about the institution and producers and how they relate in relevance to the product and even though I my peace of product institutions wasn’t used but solely to created effect I learnt how important it is the have in as they are the label and bran that sometimes that alone can appeal to a target audience. For example a plain white top with a low designer name to a plain white to with a high prices designer like Gucci will appeal to more people than the other and it is in the same way the movie industry work as a film direct by Mel Gibson and distributed by 20th century fox will have more appeal than the lower names.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?


I have learnt how to use I movie as it was completely new to me and mange to grasp its wide range of features from uploading and exporting from video cameras to downloading sound from webpage’s all across the internet and also with in downloading music I have learnt that copyrighting of music is a strict law in the industry and producing world and is taking with strict measures. When constructing my work I found this a difficulty to overcome as imovie only had basic sounds and would create hardly any authenticity to my product so i asked my teacher and she explain their are website where they have music websites were music copying is ok for example free sound.org.
I have become aware of how to use Blogger and how there is so much more you ca do with it than just to post pages and pages of text but how you can scan in work up load images and sound post videos customise backgrounds to give some originality

How did you attract/address your audience?

I attracted my audience through conman ground based areas such as the park and also technology such as the mobile phone and how these simple objects can have such a dominate effect on the lives of teenagers also to make sure I never attracted the wrong age I made sure I included a dark dull coloured back ground than to the bight greens and bright blues a park normally holds. Also I made sure I inputted scars of a teenager to tell the audience and parents of children that it isn’t child friendly and could be a possibility to slightly scare views

Who would be the audience for your media product?

I feel the mass of my target audience would be manly of the working class average teenager of both genders but with the majority males as it touches deeply into the ins and outs of their lives and how they deal with the pressure of popularity school education and attracting the opposite sex. The niche of my target audience would be the few adults (manly of parents) who want to have a slight insight to what their teenaged or slightly younger children get up to so they can understand their way of though as sometimes loose communication with them due to the different time areas they were bout up in, but still be able to acknowledge that this is clearly a movie and can’t hang on the every content of the product as it is a thriller and the intentions is to scare excite and confuse the views.

what kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

A media institution that might distribute my product would be one of the thriller entertainment industries such as Spy glass due to the fast past, short shots opening sequence of my film. Also I think it might interest Hollywood pitchers as it has the making of a really good thriller film as of the way it follows the trait of the sixth sense with a lengthy time of credits at the start of the film to draw in and engage the views but realistically might be but of due to the low funding and query to make enough profit margins so a more local institution might be more keen to distribute my product like channel 4 or the BBC

How does your media product represent particular social groups ?

My media products represents social groups between teenagers in the classic stereotypical way as were the class and popularity between them counts for everything and how easily it is for one lest fortunate teenager to spiral in a world of depression and so often than not represented in the media to self harm and even kill their selves. It also slightly touches the social group of adults and how they are sometime so unaware and bewildered of what the struggles of teenagers go through and seem to not take much of an interest due to the stereotypical attitude of teenagers to say in a conman line of the media “leave me alone, my day ways fine “ .
