EVALUATION Q7

Q4+5 How will you attract audience

The way we will attract our audiences to consider our different audience interest for example majority of teens these days join a social networking site, our older audience we would suggests large events.
We have to think BIG there is no point struggling making the film and aim for example only a site called vimeo however we would also think of using vimeo as we would try to catch every ones attention.




Social Networking sites:

Social networking sites are very affective towards publishing, so this was also our first idea because everyone in our age group has joined some what a social networking site. The large audience means more support which would lead to larger audience. Site like YouTube are also very affective as you can make a partnership with YouTube to promote your film and lead to a greater audience also in YouTube you can choose to create your own channel and allow viewers to watch your trailer or promotion video.

In class we found in YouTube a channel dedicated to an independent film called "My name is Jerry". The film had more attention then expected even though it was made by university students.





EVENTS:

Events like film festival's which we also discoverd in class has a big role for the independent films.
What we could is get a whole lot of students with their films and make a big event that would benefit a lot of people including the students. This would help a lot in advertisement sector which we can include in magazines newspapers bus stops etc. The film festival have a lot of attention so this great enjoyment also for the people who are interested in independent films.

Question 2

Real actors was not an option i don't think it was either suggested, so instead we had to use of what we were given we are media students selected randomly put together. We had fill the shoes of an adult and a married couple i wouldn't say it was hard but we lacked the experience. The way we played this roles are through our stereotypes of the gender of each adult.

so for example it would suit married men as the would fantasize there wife would be a normal housewife. This is seen in Black widow wheres the wife is at home doing the cleaning, choking and washing. The story could relate to olden films that stereotype wife's being at home with their clothes (uniform) apron slippers and dress also the husband comment when he gets home "honey I'm home" also fits the stereotype. This is from a movie called perfect housewife (i think it is also an independent film).

 The shots taken from Black widow is the character (widow) looking out the window as if she is trapped this can be compared to the film above stereotype wise that the wife's stay at home seems like prison. The M.E.S also can be compared to the film where the widow has an apron, slippers and dress.

Question 6

We had a lesson were the whole class watched each groups film and we had to comment give them feedback on the positive of there film. We had a positive feedback and reaction while watching the film.
Bernard give everyone paper to write the comments to give to each group.

Bernard suggested we use wordle to insert each feedback to wordle and this what your results would be.
The way wordle works is that the most common word is the biggest and bold.
I am happy to see that words like "GREAT", "WELL" and "GOOD" this suggest that our film is liked by the rest of the class.

Also, i am a happy to see that the most important parts like the M.E.S "POISON" which was very eye catching.

Q1: In what ways dies your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products

For this question it would be reasonable to compare our film with THE STEPFATHER.

        

 Black Widow - The Stepfather

                     
                           

   First comparison

The first comparison i would make would be the production of each. Black widow on the left is set on the husbands work place where's the stepfather is set at the house which he caused all of the murders. We can see similarities on both scenes we see that the both are establishing shots and first shots off the both film.

Second comparison

The stepfather starts with pan of the items you would expect to see as they are men's item we are not surprised at first as we know these item are related to the title stepfather. However, the slow music that suggest that its not what its seems we later find out these are tools that are associate with the crime. This is similar to the "HARMFUL" poison on Black the Widow because the poison is associated with the crime that might happen.

Third comparison

Extra close up on the widow in Black Widow is seems she can see through us which is scary as it looks like its interactive similar to The stepfather where the character off the stepfather looks straight at the camera as it seems he knows we are there. The similarities of this shots also shows the two criminals which cause harm to there love ones.   

Forth comparison

The shot were in The stepfather there is pictures of the family seems to be very close and happy as all the characters in the pictures are all smiling meaning he are happy and full of joy were are confused and see that they seem such a close family. Here is similarities in Black widow where the widow is playing with here weeding ring at this point we are thinking they are happily married but we are proved rong later.

Q3 - Who would be the audience for your media product?

sandra , is 23 works part time and is a mother of 2, she works part time as salesmen to big company called T-mobile TM. She regularly enjoys going out to cinema. She has a great social life as her friends think big of her and always good person to talk too. She is really into he music and drama, enjoys activities like "shopping". She is happily married wife.
