1) In what ways does your product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real products?
I feel that our product dose follow the traditional genre theme, I say this due to the way that the film have an obvious protagonist who has lost his memory and this is shown clearly in the opening, and we also have a sinister character trying to find out information from him.
The music and locations also use forms and conventions how they both appeal to the genre of the film due to how the location was gloomy and dark and the music was sinister and I feel that it all fitted in well with the film.
• 2) How does your product represent particular social groups?
I feel that we did not make our product target any particular audience, in this way we tried to make our target suitable for all people and thus by not targeting a specific type of audience we could make an opening that everyone would enjoy and thus gain maximum appeal.
• 3) What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
I feel that a media institution such as Columbia pictures would be suitable to distribute our media product... looking at their previous films, such as angels and demons and the da-vinci code and I feel that with our product being similar to these kinds of films, and the way in which it is a mystery thriller involving an artifact that they would have a good line of experience to aid us in the making of the film and for these reasons we feel that Columbia pictures would be a suitable institution to distribute our product.
• 4) Who would be the audience for your product?
I feel that our target audience would be people of around 15+, I have decided this on the basis that the opening starts of the portrayal of the film as quite dark and mysterious, you can see this with the use of blood on the characters t-shirt and also the violence that is included. I feel this is a reasonable decision due to how there are many 15+ films coming out recently and this way we can still attract a large majority of people to view the film.
• 5) How did you attract/address your audience?
We attracted the audience with the use of sending out surveys 1st of all to check what type of film that people would be interested in viewing. This also made people interested in the film. Secondly we presented the 1st draft of our film to the class, this way we gained points from the group in how to improve our opening and from this it allowed us to address the audience’s queries and questions about the opening.
• 6) What have you leant about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
From using the Macs to construct the film opening I have learn to utilize certain technologies for making and editing films, such as final cut express and adobe after effects. With these two programs I feel that I have improved my editing techniques and as a whole the group has utilized them to the best of our ability to finalize our opening.
• 7) Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
Looking back at the preliminary task I feel that I have learnt that in order to improve a film to the best it can be you must 1stly make sure the music fits in well with the genre of the film thus letting it suit the opening.
Secondly you must make sure that the voicing is clear and if not make sure that you make suitable re-dubs.
Finally instead of just having good acting you also need good editing in order to draw the audience in, by having good editing effects you can make the film seems more enjoyable and believable for the audience.
With these in mind I feel that we as a group and me personally have progressed since the beginning of the project.
