Discuss the ways in which our thriller incorporates generic conventions ide

ntity specific scenes.

In our thriller we did called Ocupation we used a some point of view shots. The first POV (Point of view shot) we used it looking through a window in to a business meeting to

ed.make it feel like somebody is being watched or somebody is watching someone else. Another point of view shot we used was when Hannah a member of out media group was coming out of a building and he being watched over some bushes to c

reate the feel she is being followed or watched. With our thriller we worked backwards because at the begging of the thriller it has a diary on the follow saying meeting at 4 O’clock and somebodys bag and

shoes on the floor. At the

end of the opening of the thriller it has the same shot. Inbertween those shots we showed how it was lead to having the diary on the floor as well as how Hannah was kidnapp

The thriller is a typical thriller because there is no gore on bl

ood in the thriller because that would of made it a horrer. There is some action on the thriller which creates surpence and making people feel like they are being watched.

We used the film Seven (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEZK7mJoPLY) to get some ideas from to make our thriller better. In the film Seven they have a diary with the credits on we used that to help us with our thiller. Another film

we got ideas form as Taken because in that film it shows somebody getting kidnapped and we wanted to use that in our thriller.

How does our media product represent particular social groups.

Our thriller was classes as a twelve A which means people over 12 can go and

see the film but children under 12 have to be accompanied by an adult if they want to see the film. The gender we tagreted was nay gender because the main character is a women and there our a few men in the thriller aswell. The film is for any race and any class also.

The gender was streyotyped with men bein

g domiant because Hannah was kidnapped by a man. But also it was a women who was head of a business meeting when styreotypical

ly it would be a man.

This links in to our target because women would not think they our being styeotyped. So this means the out target audeience is ethier women or men.

What kind of media institution might distribute your target audience.

Our thiller is similar to other typical thrillers because some thriller have a tpyicall kidnap in them like our thriller did. I think our thriller could be made in to a Hollywood film b

ecause it has a wide range of target audience which means many different people will watch the thriller.

The thriller would go straight into the cinimar b

ecause it is a typical thriller that the target audience would want to watch. Also there a lots of different people would want to w

atch the thiller and it is also suited to children because thereis no adult content in the thriller.

The thriller offers a plot which could decelop into a sequal because in the thriller Hannah gets kidnapped and the sequal could invole finding out who kidnapped Hannah and where she is. But that could just be in all one film to make the film more intense. The fil

m would be released because it would make some money because how big the target audience is.

We used mise en scene with the cloths because we had to dress smart to look like we were in a business meeting. We also used lighting equipment to make it lighter in the business meeting in the thriller.

Who would be the target audience for our media product?

The age of our target audience is a 12A because there is not much gore, blood or adult content on the thriller. The gender is any gender because male or female can watch the thriller. So I think there is wide range of people that would want to watch the thril

ler.

The film that is similar to our thriller is Seven because we had the idea of using the diary for the credits and also the title of the film. Another film that is similar to our thriller is Taken because of the idea of a girl being kidnapped but not knowing who kidnapped the girl. Alos the surpence of nor knowing who kidnapped the girl will be incoperated into our thriller.

How did we arract/address our target audience?

The age our thriller is suited for is a 12A because it has some scence that might scare some children and it si for any gender.

The thriller might sacre some young children because a women is being watched and if girls watch our thriller they might think they are going to get watched and also it might scare young girls when the women gets grabbed in our thriller.

The position the audience would put themselves in

is in Hannah’s positon because they would know she is being watched so they would be in a better postion the know that they our getting watched and od something about it. Another psotion the audience would want to put themselves in is the kidnnappers postion so the audience would know who the kidnapper is and why they are kidnapping Hannah.

The impact this has is that they know they are being watched so they can find out who is watching them and make sure they do not get kidnapped.

What have I learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

The strengths of the camera was that it was good quality which made our thriller look better. Also the camera was easy to use when we know how to use it properly. The weakness was that the camera kept running out of bettery when we were suing it outside.

The problem we faced with the camera was that it kept running out of battery. We resolved this by charching the battery and geeting new battery to use. Also we did not use any new equipment.

We learnt how to adapt and edit the music so it would suit our thriller. Also we leant how to edit our thriller ot get rid of any blips and to make the thriller the length we wanted it to be.

Garage band helped us because we used it to edit a track we had so it would make more surpence in our thriller. Also it helped because we made the music suit our thriller better than it did.
