Evaluation Prep: Product Distribution

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Fox Searchlight

Warner Brothers

Evaluation Prep: Representation

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

I have decided to compare our character to "Kim" who is the main character within the thriller film Taken as they hold many similarities. These are the images I will use:

Lucy

Kim

Similarities:

• age (both 18yrs)
• ethnicity (white caucasian)
• appearance (long brown hair, brown eyes)
• both kidnapped
• both in education
• navie, vulnerable

Differences:

• locations of where characters are kidnapped
• background knowledge we are given differs

Evaluation Prep: Conventions of Real Products

Now that I have decided to conduct a prezi for my evaluation, I will need to collect different sources in order to fully answer the questions. I will therefore collect all of the resources I need and putting them on here before building my presentation.

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

In order to answer this question, I have created two nine frame analysis, the first is of the horror film SAW and the second is a nine frame analysis of my own film. This is because I have taken what I have learnt from real products and incorporated them within my own film.

Nine frame analysis: SAW

Nine frame analysis: Own film

Starting Evaluation

Now that we have finished the final product, it is time for me to start the last task of the project which is the evaluation of my work. I have decided that I will use prezi for this as it will allow me to answer all seven questions individually whilst still making links across the questions.

The next few posts, are all of the different information I am gathering to input in my evaluation as I will need to take information from a variety of sources therefore I will need to gather all of the materials I need before putting the presentation together.

Finished Editing

YAYYYYY.


We have finally finished editing the film, after almost a week of working on the project and making small changes as we go along to shape our sequence the way we wanted it to work. Overall, I am very happy with the final product and hope everyone else is to as we have worked hard to achieve it.

Potential Font Types

There are also a number of different font types used within opening sequences, below are a variety of font types within sequence I have researched.

Se7en:
The fonts used within this sequence are quite small and almost scribbles creating the feel that someone has written them quickly and in a panic. These are very suited to the film genre, as it also suggest they are writings on the wall, suggesting something isnt quite right here and supporting the rest of the opening sequence.




Panic Room:
The font used here is a lot bigger than the one I saw previously and they have made it big and bold enough to fit into the setting. There are many credits which have been placed on the side or on top of buildings shown which is quite a good feature as it almost makes them apart of the setting.




Saw (Compilation):
The fonts used here all are similar as the SAW sequels are all interlinked therefore the fonts had to also do this. They are all in white, bold writing to draw focus to them.
