Evaluation Question 7

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

A production company funds a film project and provides them with the tools to produce the film, mainly this includes funding because they may need vast amounts in order to build the film they desire production can include casting, editing and equipment . This includes pre-production and post production, so from making the film to editing the film they will help them along the way. After this the production company will sell what they have produced to the distributor.

A film distributor is a company which will have been sold a film after it has been produced, by a production company. A film distributors job is to release the film this can be through, the cinema and how it reaches the big screen, DVD's, and even how it gets onto the telly. This is the job in which they have to provide for the film. In my opinion Facebook, Twitter and youtube sites are 'unofficial' distributors because it is a way in which a film could get itself distributed across to the public.

I would try get touchstone productions to distribute my film because they have distributed a few romantic comedy films so they will know how to distribute to attracted the target audience i would like to reach. They distributed pretty woman which is a romantic comedy and it was a success so by using this company we could hope for similar success.

Our money for our film would ome from one investor with a lump sum this is good beause we know what we are getting and if we want our film to be sucessful we need a large amount of money. There is a downside where we might have to make the film how the investor wants it to be but we are able to do this is we can get a reasonable profit and to do this we need money for advertising and anything else to push our film out there.

Evaluation Question 6

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

This screen grab is of our prelim which we have made and in this particular shot the camera was shaking which looks unprofessional. And Below is a screen grab of us doing a similar shot without the camera shaking i believe by us making this mistake in our prelim it has helped us when filming our opening sequence. This is good because the camera shaking would not be acceptable for our opening sequence as we want it to look as professional as possible.

Above is a screen grab which is a bad shot because the body is in the way to much covering the other person, we saw this after we made our prelim and then said we would have to look out for any obstacles or people that could get in the way of what we are filming. And in the screen grab below you can see that their is a teddy right on the edge of the screen we moved it so that it did not get in the way and i feel we realised this because we learnt from our mistakes in our prelim as we let obstacles get in the way.

Evaluation Question 5

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

As you can see in these screen shots these are two different people getting ready for work, i believe this represents business women to be classy and looks after herself whereas on the other hand we have the art teacher who is very clumsy and is late to work. For me this is how we have represented this particular social group as we have made the business woman very prim and proper and the art teacher to be very silly and clumsy. Also to clearly show we have represented these women in this way we got Lucy to do a voice over which does explain a lot as to how and why they act in a certain way.

Also represents them differently as on has to use public transport and the other uses her own car this for me shows their social groups and how much they earn or what they spend their money on. Here are screen grabs above showing the transport which we have shown them using in our opening sequence. This in my opinion really represents the social groups they are in because they spend their money on different things.

This is a character from the movie the proposal and she reminds me of the girl in our movie called Jessica they relate as this woman is strong and independant. Also she works for a buisness just like Jessica from our movie. Overall they both are very similar and i would say that they are almost identicle as they do not like to show their true emotion and have various layers to what you see.

Evaluation question 4

What have you learnt about technologies from the process on constructing this product?

Above is a collection of screen grabs, they all show which sites i have used to help me throughout my making of the opening sequence. There are many different varieties which have all used many purposes into me making the opening sequence. Not just sites but programs were also used such as imovie and final cut as they was key to making my opening sequecne the best it can be.

My phone i used this many times during the production of our opening sequence. We all had to communicate using our phones allowing us to meet up and film sections or even organise the voice overs and anything else. So overall this piece of technology has helped us significantly because without it we may not be able to be as organised as we were. Thankfully we all had a mobile phone which allowed us to communicate fast between each other.

This is a mac which has the programs loaded onto them and with these vital programs our opening sequecne would not be as professional. Mac's are very fast and effective when it comes to producing and making the opening to our film.

The camera and obviously this was needed to film our actual opening and without it we would not have a video.

The tripod we used tokeep our camera still for specific shots.

Evaluation Question 3

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

In these screen grabs you can see we have used costumes to show the difference between the characters also by the way in which they travel. For me this is a typical rom com opening because shot are montaged show two main characters acting completely different. Also we show them in their work place which can really express personality which they both have and i think this challenges to typical conventions of a romantic comedy. Also we don't  see a man in the opening sequence which is new because a lot of the time in opening sequence we will see a male character that is how i think this opening sequence challenges the typical conventions.

Evaluation Question 2

How have you attracted your target audience?

Evaluation Question 1

Who would be the target audience for you media product?

Here is what i feel is our intended target audience is. Her name is Lucy and she is 17 years old and is currently a student in collage studying hair and beauty. As you can see she takes pride in her appearance and she spends between 2-3 hours a day just to get her hair to look good. Other than being a student in collage she also has many other interests and hobbies. As you can see by the hat she loves to party, she usually spends every friday night looking for a party she can go to, as she just enjoys socialising. Parties are not just how she loves to socialise, she has her mobile phone which is a Blackberry and she uses instant messaging and social networks to talk to her friends, she uses Blackberry Messenger, Facebook and Twitter most commonly. 

She has big interests in celebrities  as she reads magazines such as, OK, Hello and Heat magazine to keep up on all the latest gossip on her favourite celebrities.  But she does use Twitter on her mobile to see what all the latest trends and catch up on any news she may have missed. Lucy does like to look her best and to do this she regularly goes shopping with three of her best friends. Lucy loves fashion and all the latest 'must haves' she loves to shop at H+M, Top-shop and Primark. But having such expensive clothes 'needs' she needs to have money, Lucy still lives at home and has one younger brother so her Mum and Dad give her a weekly allowance, this is not enough for whats she enjoys. But she has a part time job working in the local Riverisland which she works every saturday and sometimes on a sunday if she needs the extra cash.

Lucy loves to eat at Mc Donald's as their is one close to her work so she loves to eat there on her break, but one thing she could not live without is Coca Cola. She loves Coca Cola it is her favourite drink in the world. Lucy is not really fussy about food or drink but she loves Mc Donald's and Coca Cola as they are her all time favourite foods and drink.

If lucy ism't out at parties, at the shops or at work she loves spending time with her boyfriend, Lucy has been in this relationship for over a year. And as you can see she still wears the necklace he gave her on their anniversary.  And she loves to go to his house after collage many nights and sometimes on a sunday if she is not working. Often on a special occasion or she is bored of staying in she will ask her boyfriend to take her to the Cinema to see a new must see film. Lucy loves Romantic Comedies because she can relate to the feeling on being in love and they always leave her with that feel-good feeling which she loves. Sometimes she will watch other genres of film but this would usually be if the film is a 'must-see' for example 'The inBetweeners Movie' or 'Avatar' and even 'Toy Story 3'. As you can see lucy will not just stick to the one Genre which she loves but she may watch other genre of films if everyone is going to see it. Her favourite all time film is The Devil Wears Prada because she loves the friendship which the characters have and it relates to her life.
