Group 6 AS 2016/2017

Evaluation Activity 6 What have you learn't about technologies from the process of constructing your product? Technologies we used in the process: Canon DSL 650 D with 18 - 55 mm lens: Although I was not the cameraman and therefore didn't have much experience with the camera, when I did use the camera it was easy to use and easy to film with. However one con that I would say is sometimes it was hard to focus with.   Microphone:  The Microphone picked up the dialogue of the actors very well and blocked out most of the background noise. Although when it picked up the dialogue the sound quality was very good, sometimes the mic wouldn't pick up the sound and we would have to film again. Blogger: Blogger was very useful throughout the production process of our thriller opening as it helped us to record our research and ideas with ease. However when producing something on blogger especially when using pictures it would become frustrating when the layou...

How did you attract/address your audience? Our target audience is 15 year olds to 25 year olds. Our title appears to our target audience as it is a dark background which shows it is scary and a simple word CHASE. It is a simple word that gives away an idea of what the film will be about and older people don't like horrors and prefer movies with more complicated narratives. The audience would be drawn into the film as they excited and the film building suspense will make me people want to keep watching. Also plot twists such as when the protagonist discovers the antagonist new his dad makes the audience ask questions such as why is his father significant and what is going to happen next. We targeted our target audience through social media such as Twitter and Facebook. Posters for our movie will be on buses and billboards. 

Who would be the target audience for your media product? We conducted surveys on survey monkey. What we discovered? We discovered our target audience is between 15 and 25 year olds.  The majority of our audience is between 15 and 17 year olds. We have a mix of male and female audience. What certificate we choose to make it We choose to aim it at a 15 certificate as the majority of our audience is between 15 and 17 year olds. This is a suitble certificate as we have limited swearing, violence and sexual content. 15 rated certifciate means no one younger then 15 can watch our film but from our surveys no one under 15 was in our target audience so it wouldn't really affect the amount of people who watch our film. If more of our target audience was between 18 and 25 years old this would of allowed us to add more violence, sexual content and swearing but an excessive amount of this would not fit our type of film.

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: ...

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...
