A.S. Media Thriller Opening Evaluation Graham Forward

[object Object],1. In What ways Does Your Media Product Use, Develop Or Challenge Forms And Conventions Of Real Life Media Products? Here is the infamous psycho victim. We have tried to challenge and use a similar cu shot to show the death of our main character. Here is our ending scene where we have tried to develop the death from psycho and instead used a cu of our main character (Andrew Johnson) that slowly turns into an els of him dead.

[object Object],This is the film poster for the film se7en. We used a lot of similar types of shots and music and se7en is a psychological thriller therefore since we followed similar codes and conventions we can class our piece from the thriller genre. Here is the Se7en titles, we used a similar effect with a black background with white text with an effect on each title.

2. How Does Your Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups? ,[object Object],As you can see our tall character worked really well with the tracking shots because it was easier to flip the camera upside down and flip the footage.

[object Object],Here Is the Stalker from the Cape Fear Trailer as you can see he is tall, white and masculine so we followed similar conventions in our piece using a tall white male. In The trailer the stalker can be seen at around 01:00 minute into the trailer. Here is our character with similar characteristics.

3. What media institution might distribute our film and why would big companies produce this film? ,[object Object],Both of these films where made by touchstone pictures.

[object Object],Our Thriller does not use any effects, there is a death scene with no blood and the opening minute and a half is consisted mainly of tracking shots (as seen above) and pans. I think that our film is made in a similar way to The Village because of its main use of angles and lack of effects. Similar to our film the characters the director (M.Night Shyamalon) has hidden the antagonists face and the use of camera and sound is important here as in our thriller to keep the audience interested.

4. Who is the audience of our film and how did I decide on the age range? ,[object Object],Here is The BBFC’s banner from their website, I researched what each category of age rating could contain in order to be classed suitable for that age group. Here is the age rating that our thriller film is going to be.

[object Object],Here is the questionnaire that I created to see what was their favourite type of film genre, what they feel a thriller film should contain and what age rating films where proffered.

5. How did I attract/address our audience ,[object Object],As you can see I sent the questionnaire to loads of people online and asked them to fill it out for me, I found that most people proffered psychological thrillers so we decided to create a sub genre to cater for our target audience needs.

[object Object],As you can see the feedback from my target audience is mainly positive and extremely useful so I can see whether we have done what we aimed to do which was to follow the codes and conventions of a thriller film to create an opening to one. The positive feedback suggests that we have done this correctly and effectively.

6. What have I learned about technology? ,[object Object],This Is the editing software that we used to edit all of the footage that we shot and added effects with. This is the type of camera that we where using to record our footage with.

[object Object],As you can see here is a still from our continuity task and as you can see the very first shot is blurry because we where only getting used to the camera and did not know how to fix it. However as you can see we learned how to correct our mistakes and made sure our final piece had no problems with it.

7. What have I learned since doing the continuity task? ,[object Object],Here is our work being edited using layers to perfect our piece in premier pro. Here is my rough attempt at a title in after effects. Similar to premier pro After Effects uses layers to add effects/ edit as well.
