Question 2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

 Click this picture to see different types of social groups

In our video the social group that we are representing is age. We show a young man walking around being very thoughtful which challenges the stereotype because young people are thought to be very loud and not caring about life. We have represented them in quite a positive way because we havent shown a young person being care free or non caring, but instead we have shown them being thoughtful and caring.

Question 1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

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

Question 5. How did you attract/address your audience?

Our opening is based in a canal which can be classed as a really empty area. 

The film name is called Delirious which means Hysterical, uncontrolled. This can be good to attract a good audience. 
Our opening is discreet which can be really good because it keeps our viewer guessing because we dont give away a lot in our opening. We havent got a lot of acting in our opening because if we had more it would really be classed as a narrative so we kept the acting simple. The pace is really slow with a piano in the background which keeps the video down beat. We have our opening released on vimeo and we have had a cinematic release and will have it released on 250 DVD's. Our rough cut helped us to improve our opening because we had really helpful feedback which helped clean up our opening and fix any problems. 

Question 3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

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

Question 7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the ful product?

Editing rough cut feedback

After Rebecca looked at our blog she gave us some feedback.

• She told us to tighten up our clips, getting rid of parts that are not needed. 
• The shot with Solomon coming outside of the bridge needs to be longer.
• Make the clip of the bench plaque shorter.
• Move our tunnel short to a more suitable place.
• With the spinning shot of Solomon on the bench, we have to make jumo cuts and change the direction so it reverses.

Overall our rough cut doesn't have sound yet and at the beginning we still need to include our production company logo's.

second day of filming

Solomon had to cross over the bridge to get to the other side so we can get the shots of him on the stairs.

We got the shot of him on the stairs. we thought it looked really good because you can see the rush of the water behind him giving it a freaky feeling. Also he's quite close to the water.

Luckily the weather was nice so we got to film.

Filming the 'In memory of Elizabeth Kirby' footage. it was annoying because  the footage seemed bent even thought our tripod was fine.

This is the shot going around Solomon. We had to do it by hand and it was difficult because none of us had steady hands.

first day filming

For our first day of filming we went to the canal. We played around with the camera and got use to filming with it. we got a few good shots that will be used in our final edit of our opening to our film.

Pitch: Evidence

We were first to show our pitch to the class.

Going through the brief about what our film is about.

Going through everything including our genre and inspiration.

'Props and costumes'

Going through our storyboard. We got told we had to make the images more clearer   for example our close up shots drawing didn't really look like close ups.

Planning: Audience detail

Our target audience for our movie are 25-40 year old mainly males. they would have to be educated because our film will need concentration throughout. The film also gives out little bits of information slowly which could be hard to understand. They will be interested in psychological thrillers as well.

              Our secondary audience would be young adults 16-24 (which is the age range that go cinema often). This would be suitable to them because our film certificate is a 15. The movie could still interest young adults because it interests our group who are aged 16 and 17.
