eval two


This is a screen shot of both real media and my media product they both show the main character from both media products. The main character in the real media products is wearing clothing that teenagers in urban areas in any part of UK, it is also light colours, which also shows the innocents of the character making the audience feel that he is either the innocent victim or the hero in the film. The main character in our media product is also wearing clothing that teenagers in urban areas around the UK would wear but our main character is wear dark colours showing him a the villain and also it was a way of us hiding him in the night so that he could easily sneak up to his victim.

The body language of our main character is showing that he is very lonely this is being demonstrated by him walking with his hands in his pocket and his shoulders raised; this is contradicted by the position of his head which is tilted slightly upwards this shows he’s walking with a purpose.  This is in comparison to the main character in the real media product that has one hand in his pocket and the other swinging around with his body, this shows he is confident but on the other hand he is slightly lent forward showing he is upset or in a deep train of thought.

Neither media products are using props this is because both of them are meant to be really natural films where it’s not what props the characters use to show their emotions but how the use their voice, their body and their face to show how they feel in certain situations.

Both characters are very important in the both media products just that the in our media product is the one causing pain to others for whatever personal reasons meaning that he is the villain in our film and the character from the real media product is the victim/hero because everyone looks up to him for advice and he is the one who is so badly hurt by the end of the film that it causes him to die.


The company I would choose to distribute our media product is more than likely Revolver Entertainment the reason for this is because from the research I’ve made of Revolver Entertainment they specialise in international films and from their track record they have been very successful in the box office with their films.  http://www.skillset.org/film/jobs/distribution/article_4958_1.asp
·         Distribution involves launching and to support films in the marketplace.
·          Distributors must have a strategy and good knowledgeable about promotion and publicity so that the public get excited about their film and go see it.
·         Distribution companies that are associated with Hollywood studios and will release those studio products in one after the other worldwide. 
·         Non-associated Distributors (Independents) only handle films paid for by non-Hollywood companies, which mean the normally only work on film coming from their home country.

The audience age range for our real media product is starting from the age of 16 to 25, the majority of that age group would be male. The currently that particular age group seems to really be into action and thriller movies, something that is out of this world and really exciting compared to their lives. The music that teenagers of that age listen to is a lot of home grown British rap, and a lot of American hip hop and rap. To my our generation are readers so they don’t really read any kind of magazines, I think it is really hard to say what are the favourite TV shows of such a large age group, because people have different and complex was of thinking and looking at the world.
The new age generation has a lot technology at hand and this means a lot of different way of communicating with each other without making verbal contact via twitter and facebook and recently tumblr. Our generation survives on technology for entertainment purposes and communication, currently every games console has a way of communicating with other who has the same kind of console e.g. Xbox 360, play station 3 or Nintendo. The majority of teens have blackberries and iphones we have many different gadgets for communication and mp3 uses. Every teenager has a different social group meaning they all spend their weekend differently. I believe that majority of teenagers spend their money on clothing and on anything that could make their teenage year more adventures.


 Production Equipment E.g. camera and tripod

We the camera to capture the film we had a bit of trouble with the white balance a t the night time cause we found that you had a bit of trouble seeing the characters and that is the main thing seeing the character. We also had the chance to test out the external microphone on the camera and we heard how hard it was to hear the characters over the background noise.
After using the cameras we the export the film onto premier pro and then we arrange and cut what we don’t need. After editing we the upload the film to youtube and embed it into my blogger so that everyone else can see my completed work

Compared to my preliminary we thought hard about the choice of location and what it reflects to the audience, we also spent more time working on filming and the media techniques this time more than the story. The last time after the audience research our peers told us that the film was a little bit too risky and not really realistic. So we took that in mind and did our best at making everything realistic and more believable to the audience group. 

eval one


1.    The title of our media product and a real media product.



The reason I choose this real media product to compare our media product is because both media products is are of the same genre. The titles of both products are thick block writing, this is so that the title looks simple and they don’t really give the audience a clue of the context of the film.



2.         The setting and location



Our media product used a location that contradict the genre of the film we used it because it seemed real suitable to the behavior of our main character and he’s way of thinking. Compared to the real media product that used a realistic location where you would expect to see people of their age.


3.    Camerawork and Editing




One of the shots we used is a close up and an extreme close up, this shot was a way to make the audience question what is happening to that character or what they’re doing. The real media product also used the same kind of shot to make the audience wonder what that character was ding and if they’re one of the main characters.


 

4.   Costume and Props

The characters from both media products wear clothing that represent the age group and social group they’re aimed at.

5.      Font and style

The font we choose for the opening credits are plain and simple this is so that the audience feel the tension of the murder from the start so that they want more and the pictures in the background make he question more about the context of the film.

6.       Story and how the opening set it up

The opening sequence of our media product does give the audience an insight into the mind of the killer (main character). I believe that the opening sequence of the real media product does give the audience the feel of how the rest of the film will play out, it shows the hate between two of the main characters and the feelings another main character has for another.
