Evaluation

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

I kept my character mysterious, I made sure his face was not shown and he wore a hood. I also used a journey to start off the film. I used specific titles which would be seen in most film openings.

I don't really think my opening develops or challenges modern conventions.


How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My opening represents a younger, more independent and free thinking social group in which inadequacy and complications can be used to create.

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

The kind of institution I would want to distribute my product is one which deals with the darker side of real life, such as Artisan Entertainment who released Requiem for a Dream which shows a very dark and horrifying take on addiction. Another could be Desperate Pictures who released Mysterious Skin, a very intriguing film about liberation of truth.

Who would be the audience for your media product?

The audience would be the older teenager going into the younger adult, mainly those questioning redemption and morality.

How did you attract/address your audience?

A young male with a taste for promiscuity which soon gets on the better side of his conscience.

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

Not so much learnt, but I have become more confident with the use of cameras and final cut and after effects.

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

I have progressed in final cut, I am more confident when it comes to editing. I am quicker and more efficient, due to learning short cuts.
