Question 4

Evaluation Question 4: Who would be the audience for your media product?

Well, I kinda tied in this question with question 2 by accident. But like I mentioned before our target audience is meant for the younger generation, teenagers young adults people who enjoy going to the cinema to relax and have a good time.

Question 3

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

I can imagine our film being quite a mainstream event, largley advertised on the internet, tv and posters . I reckon it would go straight into the big cinemas over the country and be a typical Hollywood production. I think this is possible because our film is of a popular genre and I don't think it would take a lot time to get funded.

Question 2

Evaluation Question 2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our main title sequence mainly focuses on the gay community but appeals to a wide vairety of students as it's set in a school. Also, I beleive adults/people who generally enjoy watching films could be interested in watching this film as it's a typical horror film, very accessible for the casual movie goer. I don't believe the elderly or very young children would be suited for watching this film, for obvious reasons, the children would get scared and the elderly would get bored. But like I said it would appeal to many teenagers and the like as it falls into the same catogry as Se7en etc.

Evaluation-Question 1

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

Upon watching our media product you can immediatley tell what type of film it's going to be. It's a horror, and we make no secret of hiding this fact. The creepy music, the cuts in and out of credits and the diversion of seeing an intimidating figures face, it carries many of the horror genre conventions. However, our sequence also gives the audience many questions, not about what type of film it is, but what is actually going on. We actually show a murder in the title sequence but you are given know real clues as to why etc.

Also, like I mentioned before, you never see the killers face, setting up for the cliche 'whodunnit' which could possibly run throughout the whole film. It's hinted that the victim may have been homosexual but is not made blatantly obvious.

One movie we cited as an influence for our title sequence was David Fincher's 'Se7en', upon watching the title sequence (linked above), it became clear that we were drawn to the eerie, dark and uncomfortable feel it gave off and wanted to recreate something similar. We liked how you never really get a sense of whats going on so you mind can run around in circles trying to put things together. I also like how it cuts in and out of the credits, sustaining that feeling of the unknown. I'd hope we can grab a sense of this title sequence and incoperate it into our own as I really like this sort of atmosphere.

Continuity Piece!

Below is our continuity piece, finally uploaded for all to see. Basically, it's a job interview and it has to show someone walk into a room, do something (job interview) and walk back out. Ours looks ok I reckon, it ticks the boxes I think so no complaints really, I just wish our title sequence was as easy to make as this.
