Evaluation
Genre signifiers:
For are film we used the genre of Horror in which we signified this genre by using weapons to show a murder weapon for are killer we also used a setting of a scary boiler room where are main character walks into to investigate. We also used camera angles that showed the genre like extreme close ups of are characters faces to show the emotions of fear also we showed glimpse of the killer to give it the effect that now one knows the killer. Are film is like the previous era of horror film like how we shot it and the story line but then it also has a part of new horror era like using younger actors in a Horror film to aim it at a younger audience.
Representation:
The students in are piece are portrayed young because the movement of the characters are very child like and the main character is very unaware of what is happening around him also the environment is a school and some parts take part in a classroom. Also the main character is adventurous because he explores what has happened outside after he realises what is happening.
Distribution:
Are film would be seen on You Tube and other online video streaming sites like Google videos. We would advertise the video by linking the film to popular videos so the viewers would find the video easy and we would also advertise on social networking sites because are film is aimed at the teenager scene because of the drama and plot of it being at a school.
Audience:
The audience for are film would be both sexes male and female because not just a one-sided sex film. The age group would be 14-25 because of the setting of it being at a school the audience could relate with the environment.
Attract Audience:
We attract teenagers to are film by using characters of the same age as are viewers, also we play a soundtrack that is in the charts so the viewers would have heard it before. The genre also attracts the audience because it’s a horror but it keeps you on the edge of your seats, which most people of the age 14-25 prefer nowadays.
Learning:
To make are film we used a high quality digital camera which we then recorded onto tap. After we filmed we used the editing software Storm Editing that have us the faculties to cut, copy, add soundtracks, add effects like fade and it also gave us the chance to put are film together in the right order because we filmed are movie backwards. The only problem we encountered was that some parts of the editing software was hard to work because we were used to using Windows Movie Maker and this software was a big step up from that.
Prelim Task:
Are preliminary task was to film someone entering a room then some dialog then some one exiting the room. For this part of are work we planned by choosing the location of are task we also wrote a script of what was said in the footage we also chose what shots to use like over the shoulder shot, mid shot. The editing we used was Strom Editing software, for this part of the task we had to just edit out are mistakes and cut some of are shots so that it fitted nicely together to get the best final result

Media Evaluation
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
It was felt that the type of film that we were producing required emotional interaction between the two main characters and the antagonists to be seen clearly, so a mixture of typical mid-range shots were used to allow them to both be in shot and also see their emotions. Close-ups were used to enhance particularly emotional moments.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
The social groups being portrayed are students and teachers. The students are the protagonists, and are depicted in a sympathetic way using regular close-ups to allow the audience to associate with them on an emotional level. The teachers are the main antagonists, and filmed to show this. In the same that Ridley Scott only showed glimpses of the alien in Alien (1979) to enhance the mystery and feeling of ‘unknown’, the teachers are kept hidden to create a sense of fear.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
I feel that the product would benefit most from mainly online distribution, to maximise the ‘viral’ effect of modern media in society. A limited cinema circulation could be used to generate local and regional popularity.
Who would be the audience for your media product?
The main audience would be teenagers, as they will find it easier to associate with the protagonists, also the characters throughout are media film are played all by teenagers so the audience could relate to their actions and emotions.
How did you attract/address your audience?
To maximise the impact of the media, it was felt that it should clearly define the character of what might follow. The media product is intended as an intense sample of a prospective film, in much the same way that the opening scenes of Wes Craven’s Scream (1995) depicts the film’s key elements of horror and sense of vulnerability in a little under five minutes.
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I learnt the key processes of capturing multiple takes on analogue media, and then editing and shortening the footage in a digital environment into a cohesive product.
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
I feel that the main thing that I learned was the importance of capturing a lot of footage and the effectiveness of editing the material into a finished product – the process of visual editing has allowed as much creative control over the final product as the writing of the script and dialogue.

Horror
Our film is part is in the genre horror. In a horror film the iconography is: -
· Monsters
· Blood
· Kitchen knifes in a wooden block
· Creaking doors
· Screams
· Skulls
· Thunder and lighting
· Religious relics
In a horror film the characters you would usually see are: -
· Monsters
· Vampires
· Ghosts
· Werewolves
· Ignorant villagers
· Zombies
· Maidens in distress
· Mad scientists
The setting of a horror film would usually be: -
· Old dark houses over looking the scenery
· Suburbia
·
· Cellars
· Castles
Narratives in a horror film are quite important because they make the scene. In horror films they use such narratives as: -
· Haunted house: scary ghosts that need exorcising from the house
· Possession: an evil spirit that needs exorcising from a body
· Rape-revenge: a victims rape leads to revenge
· Creation of monster: a mad scientist tries to create a life form.
