In this Post I am going to be discussing about the early consideration of evaluation questions in which we as a group also discussed.
1) How does our product use, develop or challenge and conventions of real life media products?
Our conventions in our film is two men who play the antagonist and the protagonist, this is a convention because the two characters are men.
Our challenge convention is having a "chav" who is a hacker. This is a challenging convention because you don't expect a hacker to be this kind of chav person, you would expect them to be a science "geekey" kind of person.
2) How does our media products represent particular social groups?
The social groups that we are going to be representing in our film are a "chav" group, "intelligent" people, Business people. The age range were going to also represent in our film are people in their late teens and young professionals.
3) What kind of media institution would distribute your media product and why? The institutions we would distribute our product through would be cinemas. We would advertise the film in cinemas. We would also distribute it on DVD release after it is shown at the cinemas over a course of time. It would also be distributed on TV, and TV Companies such as Sky, Virgin Media, BT, a few months after it is released.
4) Who would the audience be for our media product?
The audience for our film would be people who are in their teens and people who are young adults, because the actors in our film are young, so the audience will be able to understand specific elements of these people in the film that older people may not.
5) How did we atract/address our audience?
We're all planning in our film for there to be a cliffhanger so this will make the audience want to carry on
watching the film.
6) What have we learnt about technolgies from the process of constructing our product?
I have learnt about a few technologies in the process of constructing our product as we have learnt how to use a camera and have also learnt about the different shot types and movements we can use with it. Focus pulling is another technology factor in which we have learnt about in the use of cameras.
7) Looking back at our preliminary tasks that we did what do we feel that we have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
We've learnt alot since we did our preliminary tasks, because when we first started off doing these preliminary tasks we only the knew the basics, but now know alot more since then. The preliminary tasks have helped us to understand more about the different elements of filming and shot types and movements that we should have in our final film.
