Evaluation Notes:
Question 1: In what way does your media production use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Being filmed on a hand held camera with the camera mans perspective.
Mention how it has been done before in clover field
Briefly mention how the film would have played out after the intro and how it’s not all going to be through the camera guy’s perspective.
The idea behind the film, although inspired by many different aspects such as video games and ghost stories, is remotely original. Having a ancient spirit of an assassin seeking revenge on the descendants of the men who killed him centuries ago.
Question 2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?
The product represents two types of people. The Believer and the skeptic.
Through the whole introduction the believer has always said yes to this theory and belief that the assassin will kill all his enemies. Whereas the skeptic, even when shown evidence of something he is apart of, still denies that there is anything and the believer is chasing hopeless dreams.
Question 3: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Warner Bros. would be a good backing distributor to have because of their previous supernatural horror films such as Nightmare on Elm Street.
It would give the film a good following thanks to the Warner Bros. fan base of horror lovers.
Question 4: Who would be the audience for your media product?
The audience for the film will be fans of horror films that take a supernatural side, the thought of possibility of the events being true and possible to happen, films that can actually mess with the minds of the viewers.
Question 5: How did you attract/address your audience?
To attract our audience, we made a fake news report where one of my victims was found killed in the woods, which are featured in the film. The only possession he had left, excluding his clothes, was an ancient book, filled with notes and diagrams that have been added to the original book. The book was about the knights Templar and the war against the assassins. This is a similar marketing technique that was used for district 9 with the ‘no aliens here’ signs and with Blair witch project with the documentary that was never proven to be fake until after the film. These things give the audience a great story to tell others and word of mouth takes over until the film is finally released, so everyone wants to see it thanks to this viral marketing
Question 6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I have learnt that the correct software and hardware on your editing system plays a big part of creating a great quality final product.
Question 7: Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
The editing skills I had before creating the preliminary were no different to what I have now because of how much I knew before hand, I wish I had pushed myself a little harder then maybe I would have leant a little more editing techniques. But instead I stuck to using minimal editing skills that I knew I would be able to use without complication, which wasn’t an entirely wrong decision, it meant I could produce something that I knew would go right in editing, but it also means I didn’t push myself to actually improve my work myself.
question 3+4 will be done in a comic strip layout
1+2+5+6+7 will be done as a directors chair from the view of the assassin.
