Evaluation Q/3

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

The company, Vertigo Films is what our media product is distributed by. We chose this production company as they have a number of different types of films, some of which involve family films like, Horrid Henry The Movie, dance films such as, Street Dance, both of which was produced in 3D, independent Horror films like, The Children, Monsters and Wake Wood. Considering our media product presents a quite unusual theme and they work around a great number of films from different themes, they provide a confident line up for ourselves. Moreover, as it is a British Production Company, it is much easier to undertake and relate to the budgets, as America’s horror films are fairly overrated. Given that Vertigo works along a number of themes, their thrillers conclude to an outstanding finish. One thing that attracted us the most was the fact that they have worked around different styles to entertain the audience, one of which is 3D.

Evaluation Q/4

                  WHO WOULD BE THE AUDIENCE FOR YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT?

Our media product is made to attract young adults. These of who are from the ages of 16 years old and above.  During the making of he video, we produced a target audience profile, of a male who was interested in the themes and films of the genre of our media product. This gave us a brief idea of the type of people that will appeal to a film like ours, that is, an unusual thriller of a psychopath. 

The Target Audience Profile:

First Viewing Of Video

27th Feb 2012


In today's lesson, we viewed everybody's video. The first viewing of the video was done so that everyone can put their input and advice for what should be done, in order to help each other make improvements for higher grades.


My video still needs a lot of editing as it is missing a few small things. There were a few problems with sound in the video, as there were a few sounds louder than others, therefore, we need to re-record them, editing it all to one level. A few shots of the dream sequence are still missing the colour effects needed, which is the change in brightness and contrast. Also, titles are not yet added and we have planned for the titles to be edited in the beginning of the sequence, where the writing and blurred dreamy sequence is, this is so we can avoid having to add font into the  shots later on, which include dialogue, as it will be too far into the video.


 However, on a much brighter side, everything else seemed to trigger the audience's attention very successfully, it was said by a pupil, "it has potential to be good, it just needs to be finished." Finally, as most of the shots were not rendered, by the time it got the point we had to watch everyone else's video's, we didn't have time to watch over our one, therefore it as more of a shock to us that it actually came out as well as we thought it would be. It was, too, our first time watching it and i really enjoyed what i'd seen so far.

As it is a dream sequence of a nightmare, i edited the effects and changed the contrast, brightness and color of the shots to a darker looking atmosphere. This is to make it easier for the audience to understand it is not just a dream, it is a weird dream sequence of a psycho. As there were a number of shots from the dream sequence, i added the particular effects needed as a favorite, this was to make it easier for myself to add in quickly to each shot, of just the dream sequence.
