Evaluation Questions 

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or 

challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Our media product is an opening.
We start it off as normal with the institution at the beginning of the film and titles as the film starts starting with star actor and the titles end with the name of the film (The Awakening). I think the edits we have made are to a acceptable quality and I think they are to a satisfactory standard.

We used a match on action shot, a bust shot, a shot reverse shot combined with over the shoulder shot , long shot and a medium long shot. 

This shows we used a verity of different shots which in the long run will hopefully get us 

I think that this sticks to the media convention for horror movies, as it starts out like a normal situation, with young helpless women that are all alone in a big house. It give the audience and innocents point of view.

 higher marks that we want. 


2. How does your media product represent particular social

 groups?

I think our film actually broke general convection because it 

actually to opposites that are best friend and the less girly/cool one 

has the upper hand in the friendship unlike general convention 

which dictates that the more popular one would generally have the

 upper hand in the friendship.     

The staker takes the less popular girl because she see him and he 

doesn't know what to do so in a moment of panic he drags her out 

of bed and nocks her out with a blunt object.

This breaks convection because everything tends you usually go 

quite smoothly at the begging for most film and our issue starts

 right at the start of the film with an unintentional abduction.

      
  
3. What kind of institution might distibute your media product 

and why?

I dont think touchstone would distribute our film as it is a bit
violent for the family entertainment business.
we decided to use universal as we know they have produced horror in the past.

We know tis s they produced such classics as “Frankenstein’s Monster” and “Dracula”. This also made us more confidants that our film would sell, because universal are such a large and big budget production company. That as soon as people would see the logo of universal, they would be interested in the film.  

 

4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

15-25 year olds as we think they have an adult mind but they will 

still enjoy the scary story line.

5. How did you attract /adress your audience?

To attract the audience at the start we used  an argument to draw 

there attention to the screen before we started the suspense 

building. 

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I have managed to build on my editorial skills (which was one of my aims at the begging of the year) I have learn how to use camera shots in a film and how to finically carry out my camera shots. The final thing I have leant from this editing process is the way to do 
titles within my film.  

7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you 

have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

I feel I have learnt so such from this process and I feel that we as a 

I feel like my story telling skills with in the film has improved drastically. 

I also feel that my camera and editing skills have majorly improved since the first task we did with the camera and with final cut.  

have achieved so much.
