Chris - I thought the film was pretty good. I especially like the ending as it was an effective way to end the film. I didn't like the bit where the your watching the killers point of view, as he is walking down the stairs.
Tom - I enjoyed it, I thought tension was built up effectively especially through the use of music. I liked the music in the background. The end scene really topped off an excellent film.
James - The film is a mixture of good scenes and poor scenes. I felt the bit where the camera zoomed in on the knives was poor. It was well jerky. The end scene and the beginning scenes were quality though. The middle part of the film let you down.
Dave - Not bad, but I have seen better.
Liam - Loved it, the end scene was quality when the killer followed the victim outside then killed him. Then the hand banged against the window. That made me jump.
From the feedback I recieved I can gather that our opening scene and our final scene were good. However the middle of our film clip let us down slightly.

Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?
From when we filmed the preliminary task we have made such a progress with filming and the quality. we now have used different types of camera angle and shot such as zoom, shot reverse shot, hand held and canter shot. when we were doing the prelimniary task when you tried to edit it on adobe and we struggled and never really understood how to use it.
The 180° rule is a basic guideline in film making that states that two characters in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other.
Match on action refers to a film editing technique where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action.
Shot reverse shot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character.
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
As we were using and playing around with adobe we were getting better at using it, with youtube im on it everyday so iknew how it worked and camera etc were quit hard to work at first but then we figure out all the buttons and managed to film the film.
Evaluation Activity 6 - What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
We have used different forms of technology in order to create are films.
These are what we used:
Adobe Premiere 8 - We used Adobe Premiere 8 to edit our film clip and our preliminary task. It is software on the computers at our school that enabled us to edit our filming effectively.
Video recorder/camera - we used the ieces of equipment to film the film and the preliminary task.
Computer at school/home - we used the computers to edit and update our blogs
we also you the internet for reserch.
Microphone - we used this to get better quality sound for our film clip, to make it a more immersive experience for the audience.
Tripod - we used a tripod to make the clip more steady and if we wanted to turn the camcorder you could do it gentley
Memory stick - to save work on it and transfer it from school to home.
Youtube - we used youtube to find videos in which we could analyse for our reasearch and planning. We also used it to upload oour film clip inorder to get it uploaded onto our blog's.

Who would be the audience for your media product?
The boy called John is the sort of audince we would like to come and see our film he is the age between 15-21. He looks well dressed and like to be up to date with latest clothing so i think he would shop at designer stores, with the waist coat he looks like he would listen to hip hop/rock music which is typical in what teeagers listen to. He looks like he would watch typical american comedies e.g. how i met your mother,freinds and will and grace he favourite films though are horrors his favourite horror films are helloween and scream which is good because that is what we based our film on. We ask him what he thought about our film and this is what he said
"I liked the film the music in the background made me sit on the edge of my seat and the short sharp cuts helps you build up to the stabbing at the end. I really liked the end bit when the hand smashed against the door and the title appears it made me jump. Both acting was good from the killer and victim but the filming was alittle shaky also the camera shakes when the actor walk past but over all i enjoyed the film".
Evaluation Activity 3 - What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
We chose Rogue Pictures to produce our film. This is because Rogue Pictures do fairly low budget films and also specialise in horror films. This was therefore perfect for our film. They have done such films as Shaun of the Dead, Seed of Chucky, the Strangers and Doomsday.The role of the company is to produce the film to the highest quality possible. Their parent company is Universal. Rogue Pictures use Universal to distribute their films. This is because they are a multi-million pound company that have the power to do a large advertising campaign. This would enable us to distribute our film worldwide.
Using Rogue means that there is already an established audience base. this will help us in terms of getting a large audience base. People that have watched Rogue Pictures productions are likely to watch any new films they produce. This therefore be a good start for our film as we would be guaranteed to have an audience.
The money for this film would probably have come from private investors. I would want them to be British in order to maintain the British theme to this film. However Universal would be needed to distribute the film worldwide to maximise revenue.
Our film would be distributed in a similar way to Slumdog Millionaire. They slowly released the film in England and India first then gradually, as revenue increased went world wide. They didn't spend too much money at the start, but gradually increased. This the way in which we would distribute our film. We don't want to spend to much on advertising as we wouldn't have the funds available.
