Looking back at your preliminary task, What do you feel you have learnt it the progression from it, to the full product?
I have learnt a lot of things from the preliminary task to now, one thing that I learnt was to film more footage than you need because you can always edit it out if you do not need it otherwise you will have to film again.
I have also learnt alot more about different camera angles and how they can effect the quality of the end product. In the the perlimeary task we only filmed the basic shots, but in this piece we have used other camera angles and tried to make the film more realistic to watch.
Another thing that i learnt was that continuity areas should be avioded at all costs and we went all out to try and prevent any continuity areas in our final product. They ruin the hole media product which is why when we went back to film for the second time we looked at the camera and started filming exactly in the right spot, and we also had to were the same clothes.

What have you learnt about technologies from the construction of this media product?
From the Making of this piece I have learnt how to operate a camera properly, I have had previous experience with the cameras in the preliminary task but for a shorter time period. I had to use the night mode on the camera this time because we were filming at night.
I also learnt how to upload footage on to Adobe files and how to edit properly, again I have had previous experience editing footage on my preliminary task but it was only a very small amount of footage. This time we had to edit out 28 minutes worth of footage out so it took a lot longer.
I have learnt how to use Blogger and how to navigate Blogger in the correct way. I had no experience with Blogger so it was very new to me, I also learnt how to import thing into the Blogger from Fireworks so I had to learn how to operate Fireworks properly as well.

How did u address your audience?
In our media product we adressed the audience through a range of different camera angels a camera speeds witch will engage the audience. We used "match on action shots" as the couple walk to the alley and we also used it when the two attackers turned the corner of the alley and as they walk down it. We have used "over the shoulder shots" in the arrgument between the couple and the two attackers. And we used "shot reverse shot" when the two attackers walk down the alley-way and look at the couple. We also used wide shots to get the all of the characters in on one shot. All of these camera shots will engage and address the audience more.
We have also used fake blood on the victim as he is beaten on the ground and we made the victim look very badley beaten up. This will address the audinece as being shocking and they will feel more emotional in the piece.
The diologe that we have used is very simple but it will address the audience as being more realistic. There is swearing in our media product but this is because people are getting attacked and we wanted to keep it as real as we could.
The fight scene went very well and looked like a real fight, this will make the audience think that he is really getting beaten up. If the fight scene would have be bad then the audience would not feel as into the film because it looks fake.

who would be the audience for your media product?
The target audience for my piece is mainly for people that like Action/Thrillers. People that mainly go to the Cinema to watch films or who will rent a DVD out. The age range for my film would be around 15 - 40 but it is a very wide ranging film so anyone could go and see it. I, personaly would rate the film a 15 certificate becasue it has strong violence and kidnapping in it and children may find it disstressing. Also people that like violence would like this film becasue it would have lots of fight scenes in it.

What kind of media institution would distribute your film and why?
Through some research I have done, I found that 20th Century Fox distributed the film Taken and could distribute mine. If 20th Century Fox are to big then I would turn to a more local British film distributor, such as Amber films, Eros Film distributor or Hammer film productions. Each of these British film distributors are well established and would take this film to market.

How does your media product represent a particular social group?
In my opinion our media product represents young people and in particular youths that roam the streets. In one of the scenes one of the attackers talks in a very slang way "R u dumb, Blud!" We have chosen this type of slang language because we wanted to stereotype the attackers as being violent youths, whereas not many people at all speak like it.

In what way does are media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
In our media piece we have used the idea and many conventions from the film taken. We have taken the idea of a girl being abducted by two men who then beat up the man. Originally we did not choreograph the fight scenes but we watch some Action films and looked at the fight scenes and realised that we had to choreograph the fight. Another convention that we used was movement in unison, when the two attackers chase the girls and catch her, it is all done in unison. Unison makes the piece look more professional and it keeps the piece tidy.
