Evaluation Questions

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

In this thriller coursework, we became more involved in how the film industry works with all the production logos making it look more realistic to the audience. and our understanding of the programs that we used has grown, so we are able to make the thriller look more professional

2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Our thriller doesn't really have any social groups in the opening sequence.

3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

I think this could be used in cinemas, as it quiet a strong story line that could become a great thriller. The Eye with Jessica Alba was in the cinema and that became a good thriller film and it was based on the eye that she was blind and had a eye transplant, our idea is similar in the way that its about sound and things start to go wrong when she gets her hearing back. It could just be released on DVD as The Eye has a similar story line and the audience may find it boring.


4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

We have decided the a certificate 15 would suit our thriller opening because it may involve strong language which may be quiet frequent. But a certificate 12 could be considered as we don't have to use strong language and violence could be moderate


5. How did you attract/address your audience?

The audience would be a wide range from 12 to older adults. The opening sequence leaves lots of questions to draw the audience in as they want to know the answers to the questions.


6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing the product?

I have learnt how to use final cut alot more and understand how upload footage from the cameras, and understand how to edit the footage we have uploaded, I understand what tools to use on final cut, to cut the footage and delete the footage we don't need. We have also used affects that speed up and slow down the footage to make it look more effective.

I have learnt how to use garage band, i know how to put the sounds together to make a soundtrack. i dont have a wide range of understanding of this, and need to learn more on how to change the tempo of the music.

We used Photoshop to create our production logo, which is called 'Stella Productions' Stella means star in spanish. In the Photoshop, i learnt that they have to have different layers, to make the picture work. i know how to cut it to make it fit in the frame and make the text work with the picture.
