Question 7- Looking back at your prliminary task, what do you feel you have learned in the progression from it to the full product?

This is our match cut preliminary, and it is clear that our skills here were not as advanced as they were in the final movie.

This is our movie and it is clear that we have improved with our range of camera angles and shots. We have also learnt how to add credits and sound.

Evaluation: Question 2 comparing similarities and differences in shots

One of the shots above is from our thriller (demented) and the other is from the film we were inspired by (seven) . in the thriller opening of seven there is someones hand writing whilst the effect on the shot over laps it and makes it blurry, we tried to capture this same effect as we thought it was very effective. although we tried to capture it exactly it didn't work considering seven used professional cameras and editors, their shots are quicker and the opening is faster paced than ours.

Q2 How does your media product represent particular social groups?

i have decided to compare these two still shots because they are similar to eacheother. 'Se7en' is the only film that uses close ups to the extent of every detail. The two revolting shots i have decided to compare have an effect on people which will cause them to gasp at every still image.

In se7en they have chosen to get a picture and film it as a part of their movie, similarly we have decided to do the same.

The differences between the two still shots is the camera shots in which it is recorded, our shot is more of an ariel shot, so that we are able to see almost all of the picture. Our still image is the second one, and the first shot is a bit different in terms camera shots, Se7en's one is more of a shot from the side which makes it different.

This tells us that the person is quite deranged and has quite a few problems with themselves, the fact that the character is cutting and sticking pictures of dead bodies suggests to us that the characters might like deadly things and is a weird person.

This is another shot that i have decided to compare again, from the film 'Se7en'.

The still shots are very effective because they contain the cross dissolve which makes the film much more interesting in a sense that it creates effect on the subject.

The differences between the two shots are that, the first one which is our group is of the character turning the pages, the cross dissolve adds the effect because it makes it look more realistic and much spookier. The same as 'Se7en' but the character is writing.

Question 2-How does your media product represent particular social groups

These are still images, one of them is from our movie 'Demented' and the other still is from the movie which inspired us when we were making our film 'Se7en'. Our still image is our character with cellotape and about to cellotape something whilst the other image is only a picture of hands doing something. I chose these because they are opposites of each other.

We tried to make the mies en scene look the same by using lighting to darken the whole room and only add emphasis to the characters hands, this was also affective because that would add a nice shadow affect. Our product is not specific to one kind of social group, we think that people will like our film for their own individual reasons, although the most popular audience will be young people who would probably like to get a fright

Evaluation: Question 5, Who would be the audience for your media product

Someone from our target audience would be... Aron! as you can see above.

Aron is 17 and is a stereotype of a moody teenage rebel... yhhhh!, he doesn't work doesn't clean, doesn't do chores, he actually doesn't do much other than eat and sleep, he's a skateboarder and loves pulling an Ollie or two in his spare time, hanging out with mates and late night parties are his sort of thing, he loves the colour black and gelling his hair till it looks plastic.. awesome!, he's cheap as ever and the money that he does get will be spent on "totally cool stuff" like booze and tobacco. skinny jeans and spikes on clothing is the kind of thing Aron here likes to wrap himself in, not my cup of tea but hey. on an ordinary day you might find this kinda stuff in Arons bag:

Question 5- Who would be the audience for your media product

These are the typical items you would find in the bag of one of our main target audiences. Martin is a young employe who works at H&M and is really outgoing and active. He loves to go out and take part in various sports. He is also up to date with all technologies and gadgets. He is 21 and is studying at university. The lucozade shows that he is energetic and the iphone and watch shows his knowledge of gadgets. He is a thrill enthusiast so he would be the perfect person to come and watch our film.
