Evaluation Questions

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? (i.e. of film openings)

Well my film opening is maybe a lot like some Film noir. where you see the main character in some sort of crisis at the start, maybe shot or dead, where they then go back to tell the story. I didn't copy this exact, because film noir is mainly black and white, and i didn't really want that. so just the main idea is from that grene, One example is Double Indemnity Where the main character has been shot and you assume he is dying, he returns to his office and starts recording his voice about how it lead up to this point.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The social group for my film is and older audience maybe teenagers, features a young protagonist who has been hurt and is dying, so this wouldn't be a good film for a younger audience.

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

Maybe an institution that is set apon this particular genre of film, maybe one that distributed some film like Dead Mans Shoes or any of shane meadows films.


Who would be the audience for your media product?

Well as i said in a early question a older audience, maybe age 15 and upwards. this is because you assume there is quite a lot of violence in this film because it starts off with a death. because of this it wouldn't be really suitable for anyone younger.

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

I have learnt a fair amount about opening sequences and how they are constructed to either create mystery, action ect. I have learnt about what makes a good opening sequence and what makes it just look like a trailer.

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

Well our preliminary task had quite alot of continity errors and i didn't realise this. since then i have been more aware of this problem and taken greater care ensouring nothing spoils my filming. even though i had a basic idea of camera angles and shots, i have learnt since then a greater deal, and also in the editing side i have learnt about makign the shots flow, for example when someone is walking, when the shot cuts you need to make it look liek they where continusaly walking, not just starting again like i did sometimes.
