Evaluation question 7- looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the product?


Evaluation question 6- what have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Evaluation question 5- How did you attract/address your audience?

Our thriller holds our audience's attention in many ways, throughout our opening of our film we have a very tense atmosphere which increases the tension and suspense to our thriller which will capture the audiences attention throughout the rest of the film. The audience would want to watch our thriller as it aspires to a younger audience and uses younger characters throughout the film which will hopefully make them want to watch our thriller. After our 2 minute opening of our thriller the audience would want to carry on watching our film as it ends on a sort of a cliffhanger as it was wondering what happened to the people who were captured by the killer. This makes the audience want to carry on watching the film as the beginning of the thriller introduces all of the characters and the killer and what he is capable of.

Evaluation question 4- who would be the audience for your media product?

After looking at my results from survey monkey I can see that the audience for my Film would be for the late teens and young people of the world who would like a thriller or a horror film. For people to young or too old this film will not appeal to them. These types of people would like to watch my film as it comes across as a scary thriller which will catch their attention with a good story. 

This is a wordle of what people thought of our thriller.

Evaluation question 3- What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why

Analysis of past students work



Positives
There was a cliffhanger at the end of the film as you didn't know what happened to the boy in the closet.

Negatives
In the shot of the bedroom, the lighting was very poor and there was a silhouette of everything in there.
They was acting out a mugging in the middle of the day, when it was light.
Continuity error- when the person was coming down the stairs he came down them twice.
The editing was basic and the fonts they used were very simple and basic.

From analysing this video i have realised that i need to concentrate on the small parts of my film including continuity editing and lighting to make sure that the film looks interesting and it does not look fake. Also when editing i should try and make it look as interesting as possible  and not use any dull fonts for the opening titles. Also we should film our film in the dark to make it look more shocking and intense.

Filming

We tried to re-film one of our last scenes but after much discussion we have decided to cut that scene out which turned out better and scarier.
