evaluation question 4

this is question 4 of the evaluation and i have used survey monkey to answer it. below is a screenshot of survey monkey

question:

who would be the audience for your media product?

overall feedback:
after handing out this essay a week later we had a lot of feedback we found that more teenagers from the ages of 15-19 would go and see our thriller also adults by the age of 21-30 would also l8 like to see our thriller films

sveral people under the age of 15 claimed that they are unable to watch certain thrillers due to age ratings i feel that that had a major impact on the results.

10-15 year olds 13%
15-21 year olds 66%
21+ year olds 21%
these are the overall results we found and made up from each induvidual person


youtube would also be a great audience for our thriller because they can also leave comments saying weither or not the film is good which will help us out in the future for other films we create.

evaluation question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?




Our Thriller is not particulate for any induvidual social group we made a pledge saying there is a bit in the Thriller for everyone,

Romance

friendship

Violence
sorrow


and a load more if we had to choose them all. we believe the younger generations would be the ones that would want to come and watch our Thriller aged 15-24 the reason for this is because most thrillers are 15+ and even if someone under the age of 15 wanted to see a thriller at the cinema they wouldn't be able to, and even if we made a full thriller we would make different previews to the Thriller so what advertisements to use to attract younger people one to attract the middle aged group and one with the older sense of a good story line, if we were to attract teenages we would probably go with the two main charecters back-to back on on side and then the henchmen on the other side on hes own representing that something has happended to the other one. if we were going to attreact the middle age generation i would go with a bright poster because it is harder to get middle aged working class people to stand and observe a poster we will make a poster that will make them want to stay and look as for the older generation i feel they wouldwant to see a calm film so we would put some of the aspects of the film such as tensly gripping a fight for friendship etc.

as you can see the stars of this film are all teenagers which would attract teenagers rather than adults because some teenagers like to watch films based on people around the same age as them.


violence in a film would also attract certain social groups such as males that like to see a bit of violence and bad language in a film
the users of youtube can easily access and watch our thriller film by just typing the name of it and clicking on it.
facebook is probably the easiest way to get something around these days and all you have to do is share the link to all of your friends and they can share the like with their friends and so on.

this is a wordle i have created, i have taking certain keywords that consist of social groups and techniques. i have also used this as a brainstorm which i will use to improve our work.

Mobygratis.com

When creating our Moby Gratis account for our use on our Thriller video we first had to sign up for a mobyGratis account. it is pretty straight forward to set one up all you have to do is going to the search engine type in mobyGratis and then you go on to create an account which can be located in the top right hand side of the page and before you can make an account the website asks you to put your home address and what your email address is etc. and you then have an account with MobyGratis.

After re-logging back into the moby Gratis website you can choose from a variety of different soundtracks that you can put a request on to use for your own uses, the soundtracks you will be able to use are ones that don't have a licence on. they then ask you a set of questions including what will the soundtrack will be used for and also say any of there soundtracks they have on the website are not allowed for any commercial use which you have to accept terms of use for. Moby Gratis takes about 48 hours+ to go over  your applications and if they like what the soundtrack will be going to they will send you a confirmation email with the soundtrack attached to it which can then be used for you own use but not commercial or any other usage.

constructing our thriller


When coming to film the problem we had to use a tristand to keep the camera still so there's no distortion to the film or for it to be slanted even though it is slanted we felt it would create a bit more tension, but thats not for us to say or is it?. When filming on top of the car park we was having to hold the camera steady because the wind would move the camera making the picture look slightly slanted, There is advanced Technology like steadicam which allows you to film with a steady shot every time no matter what type of ground you are on but because our thriller is only two minutes long and we haven't got the money to cover for a steadicam we just used all faith in our hands to keep it steady and for the close up shots we used a tripod, While Filming our two minute Thriller when framing the shot we made sure that it was clear for the two actors in the shot and because we was on top of the carpark we wanted to give the audience thrilled and on edge without it getting boring and want them to watch more.

naming our thriller

for the title of the Thriller we had to think long and hard for a title which makes sense for the film, at first thomas thought the title "Dales Dilemma" would fit the Thriller perfectly but what he didn't realise when he went to ask around what they thought about the title of the film they said it was good but a bit childish and for a Thriller like ours we could think of a better Thriller name. So next while editing the thriller the words deadline came into my (Ryan) head and i asked dale about it and he thought it was brilliant and i thought that it made the audience feel that something or someone was "out of time".

So in the end when producing our thriller the title of the Thriller is going to be called Deadline.....

use of sound

the use of sound in our thriller is very similar to the theme tune of halloween the high pitched notes and the deep music in the background . we felt that this would create tension and fit well with our thriller. if you want to listen to the music go onto my blog and watch the thriller and listen carefully to the music in the background.

problems we encountered


Problems we faced when filming our thriller was the filming process took over 3 days but the first problem being the weather changed and because our thriller is based outside in the day time the littleness things like the clouds also cars in the car park one minute there was one and then there was more. there was one scene where the weather slightly changed but it still fits perfectly which is great.

The way we resolved this was by being patient and waited for the perfect moments to arise, there was still little bumpy touches like there was more cars in the car park then there originally was but what we did was we filmed round it, and not getting the cars in the film.when there were cars in the car park we just changed our angle of filming so that these faults are not revealed within the film.
i also encountered a problem at the train station scene as i kept missing the timing s for when trains pull in and pull away.

editing our thriller

Finally today on the 29th march we have finally finished editing our thriller we only now need to make sure the music is more in sync with what's going on in the picture, in total after all of the editing we have done there is 3minutes and 50 seconds of footage, but is still quite long and may need tweaking or cutting down depending on what the rules are, i feel like our thriller is suitable for teenage groups and Theres no specific genre we have made it towards.
