Final Product - Thriller Opening

Pahirthana Anusriskumar- Question 7, Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progession from it to the full product?

Looking back at the preliminary task, we improved significantly by improving on the storyboard and the detail of the storyboards. We realised from the preliminary to how important the storyboards are and to what extent of detail we should achieve whilst making them.

Due to the experience we had from the preliminary, we knew how time consuming filming would be and timetabled our filming days out. This enhanced on our teamwork and communication skills which made the group feel more comfortable at making the thriller opening.

Editing was the most difficult process of the project, as we had to make sure all of the footage was intact, as this project was longer than the preliminary, it was far more time consuming than the preliminary.

However, compared to the preliminary, our strategies and teamwork improved significantly and gave us a great outcome of the final project being how we expected it to be.

Pahirthana Anusriskumar- Question 6 What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing the product?

Pahirthana Anursriskumar- Question 5, How did you attract/ address your audience?

We attracted our audience in many ways which were most easy for us. From the audience research we found out that majority of the young audience preferred a thriller convention movie which can be related to the students daily lives.

The key areas in the media we used to attract our audience was setting, storyline, mise-en-scene and character.

SETTING

Our setting for the movie is based in a school, this would attract our young audience as they preferred a setting they could relate to and they thought it would be more interesting for them.

STORYLINE

The storyline revolved around a young school girl who gets bullied in school, then gets imprisoned by her school janitor. We thought this would attract our young audience as every school has young students and every school has janitors, this would be story the audience could watch with particular interest.

MISE -EN-SCENE

The costumes were only a school uniform and a janitor's suit. This really influenced the storyline as it bought the storyline to life. This attracted the audience as it really gave them a sense of belonging as the main protagonist was a young school girl herself.

CHARACTERS

The young school girl really would attract a young audience as they can relate themselves to her, also the fact that she is young and vulnerable would enhance the audience to empathise the protagonist.

Pahirthana Anusriskumar- Question 4- Who would be the audience for your media product?

Pahirthana Anusriskumar- Question 3, What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

 As preferred, we wanted our media product to be mainstream production, as we felt the audience we aimed at would prefer to watch a movie which was distributed by a distributer who is well known.
 If we were to use independent institutions, our audience we aimed for wouldn't know who the distributers are and our movie may even be aimed at a niche audience.
I think our movie would be more successful and well known if it was distributed by a mainstream audience other than an independent institution as the movie would be well know to every age group.
The stereotypes and media conventions within the film would work best in a mainstream production as it can be related to everyone and is a wider preferred choice.
