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

I have learnt that there is a lot of work in the research for making a new film. I have also learnt about more of the affects you can use and how to upload music or sounds from another source. Also, i have learnt that keeping the camera still is very important for certain shots that need that feeling of calmness.

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

I have learned that it is quite easy to film a few scenes and cut them and move them into the order you want in the film. I also found that adding the different effects onto parts of the film is easy and quick to do, for example the peephole efect, that makes the screen have a circular boarder around it, and the earthquake effect that shakes the screen, but getting the right effect for the feel I wanted and getting the continuity in the filming and the editing is quite difficult. I found that Imovie is a quick and very easy way to make a good looking film. The cameras used were not brilliant but they did the job of filming and filming in the different light and weather conditions, along with the tripod for the stil shots.

How did you attract/ adress your audience?

I attracted my audience of mainly male tenagers by having a few flashing and black and white shots of a teenager/ teenagers in modern times, in their rooms, doing what any other tenager would be doing. The music starts off very eerie, which draws the audience in by that unsettling feeling and makes that certain audience interested in what is going to happen next. The music then calms down a bit later on, making the viewing a little more comfortable, and draws the audience into what's going on, visually, in the scene, so they can make some sort of sense of it all.

What would be the audience for your media product?

The audience for my product would be teenagers, mainly male of most social backgrounds. Even more for the slightly lower class people and for most people that have religious beliefs. This is because the sequence, and film is about a male tenager, with his friends, or "friends" who has died because of constant pestering because of his class and background. The storyline will certainly get to the target audience as they would be of the same generation and would be able to associate with the characters and the actions the characters take and do.

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

Many institutions that make films, espcially thriller type films would distribute my product as my product is a thriller film (or opening of one). Also, a reason why would be that the film has most or all the conventions of a thriller and has the shots and action of quite a realistic movie opening. A specific example of an institution that would distribute my film would be spyglass as they already distribute thriller films.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My product shows the lower, poorer class of people as being picked on or discriminated as they do not have the same things as many other, slightly richer people have. It also shows teenagers as a rude, not caring much social group. It shows some male teenagers like they are very casual in what they do and what they wear. It also puts across that the poorer teenager wants to be like the richer teenagers in how they act and what they do in every day life.

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

My product uses many realistic forms and conventions such as the shot types and the different effects used to create a certain atmosphere. (Close ups, black and white...). Also, it uses a soundtrack throughout most of the opening composed by myself, which real media products use and it gives the sense of being very authentic.
