Q7: Looking back at your Preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product.

Compared to my Preliminary task the film is 100% better because in the Preliminary task we acidently brieched the 180' bletently but in the film I don't think we did and if we do it's not as noticable.

Also the match on action is considerd more in the film as well although we didn't have any issues in the Preliminary task we had to film for longer, in different locations and at different times in the film so we had to be more carfull in the film.

Preliminary Exercise

Q6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this produce?

Research and Planing blogs: -

Quick Time player, Scribed, Free sound, Dafont, Paint, Photoshop and Youtube.

Our Opening Sequence: -

Because I didn't do Media last year I learnt how to use Imovie and how to export a movie. I also learnt how to use livetype and Final cut to put the finishing toutches on our film opening.

Our music for our Opening Sequence: -

We used freesound to look for uncopywrited music and soundtracks to add to our movies and how to download and import it into an unexported and renderd version of our movie in Imovie.

The titles for our Opening Sequence: -

We used livetype for our production company name and our subtitles within the actual film it's self. But for the film name we used a black screen and a regualr font on Imovie.

Our audience feedback: -

I've poasted a link to our film (which is on youtube) to facebook and got a screen grab of the poast and any feedback I would have recieved.

Evaluation blogs: -

I used wordel to made a coladge of words to show what person might watch our film.

Hear are some photos of the equipment I've been using: -

Q5: How did you attract/ address your audience?

We uploaded our unfinished version to YouTube and I copy and pasted the link onto face book to get feedback and for people to easily view it.

(I haven't actually got any feedback yet unfortunately).

We also did a voice over using a combination of recording and pasting it to YouTube and face book to receive feed back

This is the voice over: -

Q4: Who would be the audience for your media product?

Q3: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Because it's a film you would be looking at film companies and producers specifically big names because it's an Action film and the genre needs money behind it for effects, casting big named

actors and stunts.

It would probably be someone like Twentieth century fox, Warner brothers Pictures or Universal because they all have money, they have produced Action films and they are big named producers.

Q2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Ours is quite interesting because in some cases we meant to do it and and it other's we didn't.

For instance my character as the big (or in my case not so big) bad boss in charge of a drug trafficking and supplying operation isn't very stereotypical I don't think. But in some ways I think it is because whenever you have something like that going on you sometimes have the "white man" in charge of the operation and his "coloured muscle" doing the dirty work.

Delarney's character isn't stereotypical I thought because when ever you have a multi raced cast it usually end's up that the white person is the victim and the black person is the bad guy so we decided to challenge the stereo type and cast Delarney as both the main character and the victim.

Daryl's character is stereotypical because whenever you need someone to be a henchman and it's a multi raced cast the director would usually cast someone like that to fill the role. And because the other two roles were sorted you before we decided it was convenient to match this to the stereotype.

Q1: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Our film genre is Action and due to the resources at our disposal we couldn't add any over the top dramatic visual effects of explosions gun fire and bloody violence which is typical to our chosen genre. But after all we only needed to do the opening sequence so we looked at what was typical of Action openings. Usually the storyline is created around an event which usually happens in the opening of the film and the rest of the story is built up around that event.


So in ours Sam is just finishing a normal day at work and then things get as far from normal as they could probably get when he stumbles in on a dodgy back room drugs shipment deal, which the stereotypical bad boss doesn't what him to see so he sets out to silence him.

It has a stereotypical chase, damsel in distress a hero and a villain and that's about it for stereotypical Action genre.
