Question 6

Question 4&5 Who would be the audience for your media product? AND How did you attract/address your audience?

Before we interviewed the teachers about our response I wrote down a set of question for the audience to answer. Below are the set of questions which were asked.

My group filmed the whole show case where the other films made by other people in my year were shown.

This is the booklet that was made for our media showcase, it shows the characters starring in it and the synopsis for our film.

Below is a video of the audience response to our film Sharp White

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

In our group we had a group discussion and we all decided that we were going to use the same film certificate as the strangers. 

For advertising our film we will use social networking sites such as, Facebook, You tube and Twitter to try and promote it. These social networking sites are good for advertising out film 'Sharp White' because millions of people use these websites every single day. Using these websites will promote our film because people can share the film 'Sharp White' and show there friends. We can tweet about our film, post a status on Facebook and share the video on You Tube and also create adverts on the side and on the start of videos.I feel that these will be the best way to address the target audience of teenagers. 

Below is a photo of a picture of a blog I made on tumblr to advertise our film Sharp White. I reblogged pictures of the strangers and put our film on there as well from youtube to advertise the film in different ways. Loads of people use tumblr everyday all around the world, it is a good way to advertise the film.

Below is a picture off Facebook of me sharing our film to my friends on Facebook

We had produced a dvd cover for our film sharp white that we would use to market and distribute our film.

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

Effect		Scene	Evidence
Use of narrative			This scene opens with a dead girl on laying the floor with blood on her head and splattered across the floor. This connotes that the genre of the film is a thriller/ horror. This will make the audience want to find out more and what happened in the scene. In the first seconds of the film we blood which connotes that it has been a murder.
Mise- En- Scene			For our film we used fast jump cuts on the crime scene with splattered blood and over the open wound which creates tension. Another thing which also connotes a murder are the sound of the camera and cards on the floor.
Editing Techniques			In our film we used a few different types editing techniques. The 999 call is the one which is the most noticeable in the film Sharp White.
Use of Camera			We used a vary amount of shots, shots which were used were long shot, close up, mid shot, over the shoulder shot and a wide shot. Some of these shots connote bullying as there are three strangers starring at one girl which makes her vulnerable.
Special Effects			Special features which were used were the title of the film, the people starring in it titles and also a change of colour on the jump cuts over the wound on the head of the dead body.
