AS Media Questions

AS Media Questions

Once we have finished our main task we then have to focus on the Media Evaluation Questions, these questions are 

1. In what ways does your media product use,develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products.
2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
4. Who would be the audience for your media product?
5. How did you attract/address your audience?
6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
7. Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

We have been advised to use a different type of media for each question for example (Documentary, News report, Directors cut ect)

1.For the first question I am deciding on weather to do a Directors cut and explain what is going on and why we decided to do it to which I will reference the question and explain how our media product develops, uses and challenges conventional media products.

2. For the second question I am deciding to do a vox pop similar to question 4 but ask them how did they feel about the way represented the main character. by doing this is can get a detailed view from the viewers view of the character.

3.For the third question I am deciding to do explanation on what types of media institutions there are and what types of genera's they distribute and then go on to explain what one would suit my opening sequence best.

4.For the forth question I am deciding to do a vox pop which will allow me to analyse what different generations thought of our opening sequence, by doing this I can get a detailed evaluation of which age group prefers this genera of film.

5.For the fifth question i have decided to do a document with different examples of attracting people to your film for example posters, advert etc . Our group created a poster to represent the themes of our opening sequence and the setting with this I will be able to explain how we attracted/addressed our audience and how other media institution attract their audience.

6.For the sixth question I shall write a information booklet/presentaion on how to use/how we used certain technologies that we used during the process of making this product. I shall also provide clips and photos this will make it easier to explain when I have a image of clip that I can talk over or write next to

7.For the seventh question i am going to do a pod cast with the othre members of my group and i will explain what aspects of my perliminary taks halped me in this final production, i will also explian what aspects i have advanced in since the perliminary task for example i have improved in camera place ments and types of shots which allowed me to be more inventive with the placement of the camera and the type of shot that i took.  

Ending to the opening sequence

The Ending

We have decided to change our ending to allow of a more open ending which will allow the audience to question more about what is going to happen next. Our original ending was that the character was going to get shot by a mysterious character but we decided that the ending would be to abrupt and not leave the audience questioning what is going to happen next. So after thinking about what else we could do we decided that we are not going kill the character instead we are going to leave the ending more open to opinion and to try and keep the watcher wanting more.To further Reduce our over all time we also had to cut out another scene to make our opening sequence fit the time scale of the brief. The scene we had to cut was the scene when our character wakes up in the building, the reason we cut this is because it dint totally fit the story line and the scene made the whole opening to long.
