4.Who would be the audience for your media product?

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

Our movie would most likely be independent as it doesn’t really fit into the tropes of what you would see from a movie released through Disney or time warner. It doesn’t really fit in with the perfect glamorous Hollywood actors and movies you would see released by those companies. Our product would most likely be funded by Kickstarter or the BBC as those tie in with independent films. Our movie would most likely be featured on the BBC if we were lucky, this is as our target audience would stereotypically watch the BBC. Also, our movie is similar to ‘And then there were none’ which is a series that was featured on BBC one and gained some popularity. Our movie also follows a style similar to that seen in ‘Inspector Calls’ which was also featured on the BBC which also happened to be independent.

Depending on if we could get a company to sign a contract with our movie to help fund it, it would most likely be funded by something similar to Kickstarter or Kickstarter itself. If so it would be released and shown in a select few cinemas near the local area it was made. If it was released under a company name we would more likely get cinemas all over the country as cinemas would recognise the company and could see it as something that would draw audiences in.

A company might choose to distribute our movie because they most likely would think it would draw audiences in so that they could gain money. They may also choose our movie as they like how unique it is and how it illustrates how a certain class may act in society. They could have not had anything in our genre for a while viewed in their cinema and may have come across our movie and distributed it to get a wider audience to come to their cinema, and/or for the cinema to expand, promote and distribute something that’s new and different for them. 

2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

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

1st Final edit of our film

We have made some new improvements since we made this as we have had some further feedback from the teachers. We have changed the lighting for the smile to make it more neutral and to get rid of the green tones. this makes it fit better in with the richer lighting and tones seen in the previous shots. We have added distorted sound after the voice over for it to fit in better with the genre of our movie. we have also added the sounds of birds to show the person from the voice offer is somewhere else in the further in a different environment. We also made the titles smaller so it looked more professional and so it didn't take up too much of the screen.

Audience feedback

In this, we again got reviewed by an audience on a film only this time we did this with non-media students, as well as, students that featured in our film. The overall opinion was positive and we were happy that the opening film gave off the right atmosphere. I don't think we are going to make any improvements to the movie as the impressions from people who have seen it are good and we are very pleased with it.

Sound

We have recently changed the music to a ticking soundtrack that we found on Youtube, it was copyright and loyalty free from the Youtube site original music store, it's called the haunting clock. We used this as it fits with our original theme of time running out, and a ticking clock is in most of our shots, you can still see it if you look closely but it's not as overwhelmingly present as it would have been. In our opening scene, we also have other uses of sound like diegetic (like what was in the shots) and Non-diegetic which includes voice over, music (which I've talked about) and a low pitched boom sound played behind the four shots of the dead character, and played when the title comes up.  The boom is to catch the viewers attention to important parts of the opening scene, this links to later events in the movie like the death of a character. The voice-over sets the scene for the protagonist and it is there to get the viewer thinking about who they could be and what they have to do with all of this. We have also got the diegetic sound of people at the party talking and giving hints as to what class they belong to (the upper class) and puns to the later death of a character they have ties with.
