Planning Question 7

For question 7, we will be filming this one also, but will have pieces of card and an object (e.g a ruler) to hold the signs up which will have Q&A on them. 

Planning Question 6

For question 6, we decided we are going to film it - all three of us will be contributing. In the pictures below, it shows what each of us will be doing & saying.

planning Question 5

Georgina was assigned this question
How did you attract/address your audience?
- Now we have worked out from question 4 who our target audience is, we can now determine how we have attracted the audience for our film.
- Speaking over our thriller video, talking about what aspects draw the audience in.

planning Question 4

Georgina was assigned this question
Who would be the audience for your media product?

- Do a survey:
*what film genre do most people prefer watching?
* How is the soundtrack important in a opening sequence?
* We will also be asking what age range the audience are and the gender; this would help to determine who would watch our film.
- Finding this information out will help us determine who our audience are, this could help us in the future if we was to film again, we would be able to know who our target audience are.

Planning Question 3

Andrea was assigned to this question
What kind of media institution might distribute your media project and why?

- Talk about industries that produce successful thriller films

We have done some research on production companies that have produced successful thriller films, the four that have stood out to us are: 

• Metro Goldwyn Mayer
• Paramount Pictures - Shutter Island
• New Line Cinema - Se7en
• 20th Century Fox 

We have worked out that these companies are well known by all ages and we have done a survey to determine which one of these four stand out most when watching them. 

Here is our survey:

- Why they would produce our film

We would like 20th Century Fox to produce our thriller film but as they only produce high budget films, we are unable to use them as our production company because of our low budget. 

- Talk about how their logos stand out to the audience e.g Universal
- Do a survey on what logos the audience think are most appealing.

Planning Question 2

Danica was assigned to this question
How does your media product represent particular social groups?

- Relate our characters in our film to real life characters/actors in the film industry.
- Where do your characters fit into the social groups? e.g teenagers, elderly people etc..
- Explain why you thought the characters matched up to the real life characters and why we used them.

All this could help determine what kind of audience our film is attracting and who it is aimed at.

I have looked at other thriller films and I have decided that the murder should be related to a lady in the film LA Confidental, this character is called Kim Basinger, she plays a lady called Lynn Margaret Bracken The character is french but the things in which she does in the film is what the murder does in our film taking picture of people then getting someone to do the dirty work for her!!!



The other Charater in the film the dog walker. In the film LA Confidental there is an officer who is like the dog walker in our film,. he wears Plainclothesand acts like a proper detective in the film. The officers name in the film is Wendell Bud White. This character I feel is really good because he finds the dead bodies just like the dog walker in our film.

Planning Question 1

Andrea has been assigned to this question

Question: in what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of the real media products?

What we will be speaking about in question 1:
- Why we have used the fonts we used; www.dafont.com - Andrea
We used the fonts we did because i found that it gave a good thriller edge to the titles, and these match the genre in which we were going for. I used www.dafont.com because some of my other group member’s were talking to older students that have used this website before and they recommended it. When on this website i discovered various good styles of fonts but the one i chose stood out the best.
- Why we used the location we did - Georgina
The reason in which we chose to shoot our thriller film in the location we did is because, Georgina lives there and she knew that there would not be anyone one walking though our scene and there wouldn't be screaming kids of loud people passing, that would interrupt us. We needed this because we were setting the scene that the killer has placed the car in a quite and cut off place (not were people normally go). 
- Why did we use the actors and costumes - Danica

The reason why we sued the actors that we did was because, we found that they suited the character that we were trying to out across in our film.

We used women as the killers because we wanted to portray the male gaze but though a women's eyes. This shows the women are more powerful in our film.
- I am going to get 9 screen shots from our film and talk about each one of them step by step by using these points above.

The Ending.

This is our final thriller film, The Ending.

Adding Titles

In the group, I took on the role of completing the title sequence, I had to decide whereabouts the titles would go in each scene and what effects I think would look best over them. I used the programme final cut, to place in the correct places. At first I had to experiment on the programme so I could get used to using it, but then I started to add the real titles and effects. I thought it was quite tricky at times and if i could do it again i would make sure to take more time and choose different effects.. one of my favourite effects was the bad film, as it made the shots look more like a thriller. I chose to use this all the way through.
