Question 6 - What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

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

Technologies which are brand new to me are the fig rig, Screenomatic, Final Cut Pro and Freesound. I have found through the making of this product that I have learnt a lot especially the use of Final Cut Pro because before this task I didn't know much about the software, however now I know how to insert letters and add effects to them for example the movement of the letter. The technologies that I have developed my skills in are my camera work skills and Imovie 09. I have noticed that my skills have developed greatly in using the moving image camera for example I can now perform a pan which flows with all steadiness this is a massive development for me because before my shots weren't as steady when using a moving image camera. The most obvious technology that has allowed me to produce a product which is creative is the moving image camera because it allowed me to explore different shot types and seeing their effect in a different prospective other than my own. Technologies that helped to develop my creativity; Imovie 09 because it allowed me to experiment with different effects and transitions on my shots. There were many technologies that needed careful planning but one which is most important is the use of the moving image camera because if I didn't plan or stick to my plan the footage which was shot wasn't a true reflection of my best ability. There was one time were I didn't use technology correctly and I had to repeat the task again correctly because of my misconception of the software; I thought I could move individual letters when I couldn't because the software didn't have the function and I wasn't authorised. The technology of the camera I used is so far ahead in technology compared to the camera I used at GCSE for example the camera I used for this product had much greater resolutions.

Below is a collage, I created themed on the technology I used whilst doing this project.

Our films target audience.....

Our films target audience. Our film can be viewed by a mass audience it doesn't fit a niche audience. Our film would be very popular with a young demographic. The structure of the target audience lives (demographic) would be; live in all areas for example rural and urban; they would be at the associative stage of education they would attend all types of schools from public to comprehensive; they would be working and lower class; both male and female; young adults.

Our films target audience. There are many psychographic variables and attributes of our mass audience. The social research has shown that our target audience, enjoy socialising. They do this through social networks for example Facebook, Twitter and Skype. The stereotypical weekday of our audience would be studying during the day, subject work in the evening with TV, clubs, socialising and listening to music because they would be very proactive. The stereotypical weekend of our audience would consist of them socialising, completing subject work, jobs, clubs and past times. They would have all types of social groups. They would be esteem seekers which means they would be materialistic in the sense of always wanting to look the best or have the latest phones and clothes, however in some circumstances this isn't the case because they may still be materialistic but not in that way they maybe wanting experience or wanting to travel.

Final Warning Draft Two

Question 3 - What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? Part two

What Kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Our film is called "Final Warning" its conventions are very similar to the horror genre making it a horror film.

Our films distributor is "Paramount Pictures", it is much-publicized, prominent and greatly reputed around the world as it being consistently ranked as one of the largest growing film studios. "Paramount Pictures" don't specialise in any particular genre, however some of the greatest horror movies have been distributed by them; for example "Friday the 13th". Generally most films distributed by paramount pictures don't take much time to reach fruition.

Our films production company is named "Clockwork Productions" in reason of the film is time orientated, this essentially means how long will it take until the killer will stop killing defenceless victims? This is dependant upon either until he has given up or has been caught. In our opening sequence the audience are shown two teenagers besieged by the killer. I personally believe that the idea of our film being time orientated is brilliant because it builds involuntary tension.

The most suitable media institution would be sky because they have designated channels for horror movies.  However the content wouldn't be suitable for the BBC, and in terms of ITV the film would be to modern for their specifications.
