Media Presentation By Emiel Pronk

Introduction ,[object Object],[object Object]

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? ,[object Object],[object Object],Blurred shot to add a creepy effect makes car look like its at high speed Shot behind tree and shot using hand held technique to give impression that someone is watching the car Our thriller has many influences from other films, I think the start of ‘Get Carter’ was an influence on the start of our piece. I thought that the idea of starting the thriller in a moving vehicle would set the tone and build suspense. Music is also used to build suspense

How does your media product represent particular social groups? ,[object Object],[object Object],Dressed in suit, middle class, age 18+ Driving a car makes him look middle class I feel that the gender of the character is represented in a very typical way as he is not afraid to wander straight onto an empty farm to look for petrol which shows he is mature, confident and dominant.

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],I think that our thriller would offer opportunities for franchises and sequels as it would be quite a versatile thriller that could have lots of twists and cliffhangers.

Who would be the audience for your media product? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],I asked a group of 8 people, 4 girls and 4 boys to see which gender would like our film the most. Overall both genders liked the film. So I think the film would appeal to both men and women

How did you attract/ address your audience? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? ,[object Object],[object Object],We used an application on the Mac's called ‘Final cut’ express’ to edit our films once we had collected all of the footage. The editing was tricky to get the hang of at first but once we had watched all of the tutorial videos we were all very capable of using it. For the title sequence we used cuts and fades to give it an opening feel, we also used blur and motion streaks throughout the film to give a spooky effect. The application we used to edit our soundtrack was ‘Garageband’ we had to edit our soundtrack using this application as we were not allowed to use an unedited soundtrack.

Looking back to your preliminary task,what do you feel that you learnt in the progression from it to the full product? ,[object Object],When we started filming I felt very comfortable using the equipment and I was able to use the equipment to a high enough standard to get the specific shots that were needed, such as low angle shots and hand held shots. Overall I think our product has gone very well we were unhappy with a few elements of our film but we used our editing skill on Final cut to sort all of the problems out. Our task was to make an opening sequence to a thriller film and I think that we completed this task very well, making a well executed film. I think that another film that we could link ‘Trapped’ would be Alfred Hitchcock's ‘Birds’ as it uses the same technique of starting with the protagonist in a car by themselves, I think this is very effective and also works very well in our thriller.
