Early Consideration of Evaluation Questions

So now we've decided on our studio name and the genre of our film (Thriller). Now we need to consider a basic idea of what we could do in the evaluation questions. 

The evaluation question we are going to have to consider are:
  1. In what way 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, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? 
We have briefly discussed each of the questions as a group and decided on ways in which we can address each of these questions.

1. This is going to be challenged through the idea that rather than a rough male being the bad guy in the thriller, its going to be an innocent rich young girl rather than her being the victim.

2. It challenges the idea of social groups at the end. The main female is your traditional rich young lady and the male is this boy racer bully of a boyfriend. At the end this is challenged by switching the roles. 

3. We haven't got to worry about this at the moment as we shall decide this at the end when the film opening has been completed to decide what media institution is likely to distribute our film.

4. We haven't decided a specific audience for this film but right now we do know that is is going to be aimed more at young males. 

5. We will be attracting our audience through the content of the film as young males are probably more likely to enjoy thriller films that young female teenagers.

6.We will learn more about the technology that is needed to produce the films but we will be needing all the standard camera equipment along with the editing software for the film and sound.

7. We will hopefully have learnt a lot more technical shot types and be able to use advanced film techniques that will show improvement on our film opening.
