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.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?
The girl is casey from scream I used her because we based our film on scream and the similarity are that they are both young adults both are wearing casual clothing. The differnces are that obviously joe is a boy and casey is a girl and when casey is on the phone she is flirty showing that she has no idea she is going to be a victim.
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? (i.e. of film openings)
Title of film
The title of the film is "knock knock" because the killer make the victim come to the door by knocking on it and then when they go to the door he stabs them with one of there kitchen knifes.
Setting and location
The setting is in a house because we wanted it to feel like the film scream which is based in a house.
Costume and props
With costume and props the killer is wearing a army jacket, army boots and a mask to cover is identity. the victim is just wearing casual clothing because he has just come back from visiting mates.
Camera work and editing
With the camera work there is a scene where the killer is holding the camera we tried to make it seem like it was what the killer could see through is eyes. with the editing we tried to make it quick cutting a quick snappy to build up tension to Suspense the audience.
Title font and style
The title font is just a typical block writing and it is coloure in red to symbolise blood.
Story and how the opening sets it up
The story is a typical stabbing scene and the opening sets it up by having quick cut shots from victim to killer then you see the killer with mask on and it shows you that the victm will get stabbed because a knife goes missing.
Genre and how the opening suggests it
the genre is a horror and the film suggest it because of the down, depressing and spooky music when victim walks in and then you see killer with mask on covered in blood.
How characters are introduced
the characters are introduced by the victim coming through the door and shouting "hello" and not getting a answer back meaning the the audience know he is alone the killer is introduced by sitting in a dark room and them when hearing the victim shout hello he then puts his mask on.
