Evaluation Question 2 (Elrad)

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Comparison between the Protagonist of 'The Chase' and a Real Protagonist:



My protagonist reminds me of Alex Rider (Alex Pettyfer) from 'Alex Rider: The Stormbreaker'.  




Here are some similarities and differences between the two:



Similarities:
  • Both roundabout the same age.
  • Athletic
  • Military changed; weapons, hand to hand
  • Great Combat fighter
  • Works for secret service
  • Courageous 
  • Brave
  • Smart
  • Adaptable
  • Has family in secret service
Differences:
  • Come from different backgrounds; one grew up knowing that his family was part of the secret service, Alex was propelled into the scenario in under a day.
  • Alex is very confident about himself whereas the Protagonist doubts himself a lot. 
  • Alex talks more and is more childish (or comedic) with the things he does/says.
  • Ethnicity
Comparison between the Antagonist of 'The Chase' and a Real Antagonist:















Comparison to Tommy DeVito from Goodfellas, we chose this character because of his unpredictable behaviour. He often changes from good to bad sometimes helping people or making things worse. This relates to the character in our thriller opening as he has a bad reputation however is trying to help the protagonist.


Similarities:
  • Mysterious character
  •  Not physically fit
  •  Drinks
  • Don't stick to the Rules
  •  Use to work for the secret service
  • Unpredictable
  • Has problems with himself, family, friends people around him
Differences:
  • One is way more younger than the other.



Our media product presents different social groups through the protagonist and antagonist in our thriller opening. The protagonist presents someone who has mental health problems and finds it difficult to socialise with society. This person needs help from society. On the other hand, the antagonist is different, he is a untrustworthy character who was a good person but then went rogue.

Looking back at your preliminry task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? To remind you again here is our Prelim Task and our Full Product... Preliminary Task -  Full Product -   PRE-PRODUCTION STAGE: •There are a few similarities between  our preliminary task and final product , in terms of the planning process, and differences, such as equipment used and depth of research.  • For our preliminary, we were only allowed 30 minutes of time for pre-production; which included planning the narrative and dialogue. Since the time we had for all 3 production processes was very short, our preliminary was not as high standard as our final product.  • For our thriller opening, pre-production was for about two weeks; where we planned initial ideas as well as final, we researched deeply into the thriller genre and the type of audience we would get and plan scripts and health & safety etc.  • Thi...

Preliminary task evaluation: Pre-production -In the pre-production process as we did not have much time we did not write a storyboard or a script and just came up with an original concept (The Chase), w e also did not have any costumes or props that we could use. We had to make use of our space around school as we were not aloud off site to film and after walking around the whole school we decided the best place to use was the science block. Production During the production stage we used techniques such as match-on-action and shot reverse shot to create verisimilitude. Post production Finally in post production we imported everything on to the MacBooks and used final cut pro to edit our film. We pieced together the scenes as we wanted using continuity editing. We then added sound effects, music and credits. What went well? We included a shot reverse shot successfully. We had a finished film. We used Match-on-action successfully.  Even better if? Re shoot ...
