Evaluation

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

Our opening sequence has challenged some codes and conventions and we have also followed codes and conventions. Our sequence has the order of credits in the right place meaning the director is the last name you see and so on. However the code that we did go against was we put the title of our film at the end of our opening, Some people would perceive our sequence as a trailer because of this but I believe me made the right decision because it

leaves the element of mystery till the last moments.

• How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our sequence represents a difficult situation of family feuds were something may have happened in a family which could be something small right up to the major subject, This also has a lot to do with our film because it is of a family that no longer gets on because someone if accused of killing someone close to them. However this might not be the truth but because the person is hurting they just want to blame somebody.

• What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Our distributor would be Universal Pictures because I believe our film is a very good idea and it can be even better if we had universal behind us and by looking at the reviews we have gotten from both fellow class mates and people on you tube I think our film could be successful.

• Who would be the audience for your media product?

The audience for our media sequence would be aged 15 and upwards because our film isn’t gory or so heavy so that’s were it would be acceptable for the younger people but it also has a good story line so it also would appeal to the older generation, as well as people who love jumpy films.

• How did you attract/address your audience?

We attracted our audience but putting the film clip on you tube and addressing the link on facbook so everybody could go on to it and write comments and express their views on our film. We got 80 views on our clip when it was on you tube and very supporting comments one saying it was 5* film.

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

I have learnt many things while doing this film such as editing skills, camera skills, codes and conventions, many of these skills were due to teamwork and trying to perfect our film to make it the best of our abilities.

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

Through out the whole course I have learnt many skills and I’ve learnt a lot about media theories, the distribution process and code and conventions. I’ve also learnt about working in a group and how to share the tasks of making a opening sequence.
