Evaluation of my project.

• In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
  The project has all the film conventions in that the task asked for. Starting of the match on action, when character A, opens the door. Then into the 180 degree rule when the character A sit next to character B and then on into the shot reverse shot. All of these conventions are shown well and clear. I believe the shot/ reverse shot could have been improved on due to the camera being not that close to the character who is listening. This kind of draws attention away from the film. However the match on action is a good example and 180 degree rule is recognised through out the film as character A is always on the right and Character B is always on the left. This is shown very clearly.
• How does your media product represent particular social groups?
  The media group that my product represents is for a young age to demonstrate different camera shots and conventions used for filming. My product would come across as boring and uninteresting to the older generations of 21 plus. This is way my film is in the niche market of young people demonstrating uses of film conventions and editing.
• What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
  The type of media institution that would distribute is for other schools and colleges that teach media and learning film conventions and editing. My product is to be used to show good examples of match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180 degree rule. I could advertise my film over the internet, saying it is a good example of film conventions, easily recognising each of the shots.
• Who would be the audience for your media product?
  The audience that would watch my product would be young people both male and female and media teachers at schools and colleges that teach film techniques and conventions in media studies.
• How did you attract/address your audience?
  My project attracts the audience by telling a simple story line that involves all the film conventions with in it. With up beat music playing in the background and a title page to start and end the film production is just couple of ways of how the audience will be attracted.
• What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
  This filming and editing of the my film project has taught myself many topics about how Imovie programme works, the different film conventions and how film editing takes place to be put all together to make a film. This project gave me an small insight of what it takes to make a film as every film being produced are using most of the topics that I uses in my film. Such as different camera shots such as a master shot or extreme close up, how they moved the camera, crane shot or dolly and an insight about editing the film and the effects that you can do with all this put together.
