Q.7 Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you

At the beginning of the course a had lack of knowledge when it came to media, what my main problems were was attention to detail and concentration levels. At the start of the year we made a preliminary task to try and display vital continunity technique, shot reverse shot, match on action and the one hundred and eighty degree rule. The comprasion between my opening title sequence and preliminary task there is a big difference.

Q 6 what have you learnt about technologies from process of constructing this product ?

Over the last year I have improved my media skills greatly I've learnt various different skills this has helped me complete my opening title sequence.

blogs

When creating my blog I used loads of pictures, screen grabs and videos to create a very visual effect this is to get a high standard mark on blog. One major technique I learnt was using contact sheet, a contact sheet is made up of 9 shots you've grabbed from the film this shows people what type of film it is. I also learnt how to embed clip on to my blogger using Youtube.

Hardware - Imacs, tripods, camera etc...

I firstly came in to contact with a tripod at the start of the year when learning the basics of how to make a film what a tripod does is it allows you to move the camera pan across or tilt with out a having a shaky shot. Ive always used a video camera since I was little boy it helps you take photo and make films .

Garage Band

Jordan one of peers who is into music taught me how to use it he told me it creates instrumentals and melodies and its a good way make music for your film and good for setting tones of for your film. It is also good for finding sample music.

Q5 how did you attract address your audience?

Q3. What kind of media instition might disrtube your media product and why?

Having researched distrubting companies such as Warner Bros and 20th century fox I come to conclusion that Revolver Entertainment the reason why I choosen this is because this conpany has disirtbuted many film simliar to are such as adulthood , kidulthood, The Kid, Dawn of evil: rise of reich, Legacy: Black ops and many others. All of the films that they produce are very thugish and high drama thats why I would want them to distrubte are film.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

In our film, we used typical stereotypes in are film to make certain people relate to are opening title sequence e.g. black male the criminal and the white male the snitch.

In our film we show that black male is the criminal and the white male as the snitch we used this common sterotype so it would be easier for the veiwer to understand the film.

Both men are in similar because of they posture and are quite bulit men. They also are in the same situtation because they are both in prison wearing orange prision garments and looking directly in to camera showing agression in their eyes. There facial expressions show that they are angry at the fact that they are in prision and show and can't wait to get out. Both shots are taken indoors and are with a white background however the lighting in the second shot is different because we wanted to create effect of what is happening in the shot is past tense. They also have sort of same hairstyle this shows that they must be both from a rough background. Overall I personally think that the elements are the same in both shots and it shows a very thug ish and gangster social group. the people who made the film where i got the shot from a wanted make it a very hardman sort of film.

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

In this particular question I will comment on how my film usesmedia products through the use of conventions and other real media products. through most of my film we very simple but effect conventions, we tried to make it as thriller like as possible for example at the start of the opening title sequence we used sepia tone to create the effect that one of the characters was having a flashback this is used in alot film and this start also in are film sets the tone for the whole film. We used simple white font with a black background this also done in alot film to create mystery and suspense to the audience. we reseached are music through free sounds I personally think the all the music we choose went well together because of the type of film we done.
