Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
Looking back at our preliminary task I feel that I have
learnt many different skills that i have been able to develop into this
project. For a start in my preliminary task I only worked with one other person
whereas with our main task there was four of us I therefore had to adapt to
work with more ideas and opinions that i had to take into consideration. I have
also learnt how to improve aspects such as lighting. In our preliminary task we
had the issue of too much light coming from behind our two characters when we
tried to do a long shot. It made it hard to focus on the two characters because
of the glare from the sun. Therefore during our main task we avoided placing
the characters infront of windows or glass doors to prevent any unwanted
ambient light. A key aspect of the progression was the time management, it was
more convenient to film the preliminary task as we would film in school during
lessons so we could equally plan how long we would spend doing both filming and
editing, however in the main task we had to organise finding a house to film in
and a day in which all of the cast and crew could make it to the location.
Finally there was the issue with the sound in our preliminary task, because it
was filmed in the school canteen there was a result in unwanted diagetic
background noise to conquer this problem we used the detachable microphone to
focus on the sound that we wanted. Overall I think that our preliminary task
helped us to improve our skills so that our main task can be portrayed to our
full potential.
Who would be the audience for your media product?
How did you attract/address your audience?
The
audience for our media product would be for teens and adults. This is because
we brought together our idea in the planning progress and felt that this would
be the target audience that we would most be able to relate to and apply our
skills of representation affectively. The ways in which we did this was to have
a group of characters that all represent different stereotypes by the costumes
they were wearing.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?
The ways in which our product represents particular social groups are that we have classed each of the main characters into their own individual stereotype. we did this by giving the characters a stereotypical appearance. for example the 'Goth' style character we dressed in all black with heavy make up and a tight chain around their neck. the colour black in clothing classically connotes a quite dark gothic character which is one of the main reasons as to why we chose this. Also that our target audience was aimed at teenagers we felt that it was convenient to have the actors as teenagers to create a stronger connection with the audience and help them to relate more to the film and set characters within the film.
