SIGNING OFF MESSAGE
Well, this is my final post, it has been fun working with group 2, and it has been a very fun experience making a thriller. I have enjoyed these few months a lot.
Signing off post
Throughout the media coursework I have learnt a lot especially from camera angles and sounds. I have throughly enjoyed every bit of it.
Feedback from The Run
Here is a small clip where a student is given their opinion on 'The Run'.
Also, I have received feedback from friends on facebook.
Here is a quote from a students that has seen The "Run and what they thought about it.
‘OMG I cant believe you actually made this! This is so GOOD. It kept me in suspense throughout the opening. I would so like to see the finish thriller!’

Q5: How did you attract / address your audience?
The rough cut feedback did help to improve our group's final film opening. Our rough cut presented many unnecessary scenes that we did not need and with the help of our teacher pointing out this issue it allowed us to then get rid of these scenes and make our thriller opening much more effective.
Furthermore, there was an issue with the sound in our rough cut, we used narration throughout of the main characters perspective of what was going on.. there however was a gap in the middle of our film because the words in the narration did not match the actions going on in the thriller itself. With the teachers feedback we could see this problem and then got the chance to remove it. Our teacher said to get rid of the gap so we did this by removing the unnecessary scenes and slowing down the voice to match the actions.
Thirdly our thriller rough cut had a certain effect/theme edit running throughout which gave the footage a kind of flashy effect, our teacher said that our film may be more effective if this effect only took place when the main character was having a flashback so the audience would know the difference between the character's reality and the character's past. So we edited our footage so it would then do this.
In conclusion the feedback we gathered made our work alot better and alot more relatable to our target audience. Without this feedback our work would not have been as effective and we would not have reached our full potential as a group.
We have reached our audience so far through a cinema screening as a group and then we indiviudally uploaded our film to facebook as well as just showing our friends around college to get their opinion.

Q1. In what ways does your media products use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
we have used intertextuality for our film starting because most films start the way our Thriller trailer started off.first it showed the 'CANDI' studios, and the 'North East' production
THE FILM PYSCHO WAS A BIG INSPIRATION IN OUR THRILLER TRILER.
CONVENTIONS TITLE SEQUENCE
IT USES THE CLASSICAL OPENING WITH ESTABLISHED CLOSE UP SHOTS AND GOING BACK INTO FLASHBACKS.
I HAVE LEARNT THAT IN THE TITLE SEQUENCES YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE MAIN IMPORTANT PEOPLES NAMES, THEN YOUR THRILLER NAME, AND THEN EVERYONE ELSE E.G. MUSIC COMPANIES, COSTUME DESIGNERS, FILM EDITORS (ECT)
Q3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
The start of our film was only funded by CANDI studios which is a local small company. ( also in our opening sequence)
as we didnt have a chance to finish our film we will need fundings from Companies such as: BFI, Funding, Lottery, BBC, FILM4, Privert Investors, Film Culture Funds, in addition we need to market our thriller so we would use Facebook, Youtube which are both a source of Viral marketing because we want our film to be small budgeted and we will also use the internet as a big promotion and a big source of distribution. We are also using Home Grown Stars who were born and brought up in North London.
Q6. What have you learnt about technologies form the process of constructing this product?
you can use different fonts in different sizes up to XL and Xs but also we can use BOLD, italic, and underline, and we can use different colours and highlights,
we can also put in LINKS, urls and pictures
we also learnt how to use a camera, heres the work from before that we blogged
Q1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions forms and conventions of real media products?
Here is a clip, where I have discussed the conventions of title sequences and openings. In addition, i have discussed whether we have followed the conventions ourselves.
Technologies used to make this was ClipGrab - to download clips from youtube and Windows Movie Maker to generate the clip(and handbrake to convert it to a mpeg 4 as the file was too large).
