2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
4. Who would be the audience for your media product?
For my media
project the target audience we wanted to achieve was late teens to middle aged
women and men. The fact that the audience can be so wide is because the
characters in our film are of a wide span of ages. Mother, Father, Daughter and
the killer- the killer is around the age of 20. The film is featured around a
family, therefore the audience can relate. The audience for my product would
also be one who would like Thriller/Horror films as our film has got a lot of
blood and gore in due to the killing of the family. The fact that it is not
just a typical Thriller, there is a deep story to our film, and if we were to
make it a feature length film then the audience would see the plot unravel and
understand the killing of the family. We wanted to draw the audience in with
our opening scene, we wanted them to ask themselves, why are they dead? Is the
person in the hoodie the killer? When did it happen?
5. How did you attract/address your audience?
In our media
project we decided to attract the audience by using the story line to the full.
The opening sequence clearly shows that a family has been murdered. However, we
do not know whether the only person alive in the sequence is the killer, we
leave the audience questioning themselves. We attract the audience using
Mise-en scene, with the high amount of blood, and the knife that the “killer”
is seen spinning. The clever camera angles we used also helped us address the
audience to where each victim had been hurt when killed. We used a lot of close
ups to help create tension and also wide shots to help establish where it was
for the audience. All the shots we used helped the audience to try and have an
insight of what had gone on. The use of sound we used also would help attract
the audience. The sound was very eerie and creepy; it helped create the scene,
keeping the audience on their seats.
6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
Through the
process of constructing this product I have learnt a lot about technologies,
especially when using the camera in the filming process and also the program we
used to edit our final product. I’ve
learnt how to edit the film, how to speed up film, slow down film, and also how
to add titles to the product. After completing our product I now feel more
confident in my editing skills. When we filmed our product I learnt how to
focus the camera in which to make the vision clearer. During the whole process
when using technologies I leant something new along the way every time we used
the program to edit and during the filming process.
7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
