What
targets will you set yourself for G324 next year – when you will make a
trailer?
For next years filming of a trailer I will make sure my filming is done earlier so my group are able to edit it better and more efficiently.
I will also make sure I have more footage so that it will be longer as our opening was relatively short.
Next year I will improve the quality of footage through better sound as at some places in our opening we were unable to hear the characters
Next year I will also involve more camera angles as there were not that many effective shots like a shot reverse shot between two characters or for example an establishing shot so that we could get an idea of the setting

Evaluation Activity 7
Looking
back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel
you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?
Looking back at my preliminary task I believe that we have improved in our filming as we only managed to use medium shots and close ups. Whereas in our film opening we manage to involve a panning shot medium shots and point of view shots. I was dissapointed we were unable to involve shot reverse shot between our characters having conversations which would give more affect to the characters having conversations more interesting then having to look from one angle. In our opening we should of put in an other the shoulder shot of the killer approaching the first victim as it would give a better view of what happened
This was a clip from our preliminary task
This was from our final product and was one of the two point of view shots we used which shows that we improved our filming quality after practice with the preliminary task.

Who
would be the audience for your media product?
Our target audience would be teenagers and young adults which are normal target audiences for horror films as there are age restrictions on being able to watch them due to graphic content, which would be heavily linked with our film as we would aim to introduce blood. I also have found out that younger people prefer horror films to any other age group as they feel more secure, this is shown in other well known horror films such as the Scream films. Younger people also prefer a thrill seek so they would be more looking to watch our film

What
kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Twisted Pictures would be one media institution that may distribute our media product this is because they produce films such as the Saw series of films. Saw films are known for horror and gore which is also involved in our film. The same institution went on to have a deal with Texas Chainsaw Massacre which is an ideal match with our film as it to do with a masked stalker in the woods picking off a character every so often making them turn on each other.

Evaluation Activity 6
What
have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this
product?

We used the iPhone to film our opening as it has one of the best quality cameras that was accessible to us. We didn't choose to have a high end camera as it would cost our group too much and wouldn't be able to afford it. We were also able to edit our opening on the iPhone and upload it onto YouTube
which shows that the iPhone is a multi platform technology.
We used the website Blogger to be able to post our blogs as it is a public website in which other people can read our blogs
