Question 4.

Who would be the audience for your media product?

Our target audience would be aimed mainly at teenagers/young adults. We decided this as we thought the film would be appropriate for that age group. We also decided that the film should appeal to both male and female, that go to high school or university. We aimed the film at the lower middle class as we felt that the film would appeal to them the most and the way the film has been set may link to some of those peoples lives so they could relate to the film and get a better scare from it.


The psychographic of the audience would be that they want to get a thrill and be scared by the horror/thriller films. In their spare time they might go out and see friends, they would also watch other scary and horror films as they enjoy that. The males may go and play football with their mates and the girls would possibly like to go clothes shopping and do group activities, like go to Camden and things like that. They would be very interested in social networking sites as its how they would find out about the newest trends, clothes and films.

Final warning draft 2

QUESTION THREE.

1) what kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

My group has titled the film as 'final warning' as ut hints to the audience the genre of the film and what may happen in the film. 'Final warning' also links to the plot of the film where a person discovers a note saying 'your next' and they have to try and get away from the killer and the note is the final warning to the person that is about to get killed. Our film is a triller as it does mnot have a lot of gore in it and it is a spooky and scary film that is aimed to put the audience on the edge of there seats. We have targeted the film at young adults as we feel that they would want to make the audience jump as well as enjoy the film.

The distributor for our film is 'Paramount pictures' we have chosen them to be our distributor as they have distributed high budget films of this genre in the past year. We are very certain the 'Paramount pictures' will get this film advertised to the correct target audiencde which would mean we would gbet a profit, if many people watch it. 'Pareamount pictures' have distributed films of this genre such as 'The devil inside' and 'Paranormal activity'.

Our production company is named 'Clockwork Productions'. We chose this name as we feel it fits our genre as it gives the sense that the time would pass quickly when you are watching the film. 'Clockwork Productions' also links to our film as it is only a matter of time before the killer gets you once you have discovered the note.

QUESTION 2.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The social group that my Opening Sequence has represented is teenagers. They have been represented by the location and the use of costume, the location of the park is Representative of teenagers as most teenagers hang out in the park with their friends. The use of costume shows that the characters are teenagers as they are both the girls are wearing leggings and the boy is wearing trendy trainers and jeans. The costume shows that they are young because if they were wearing smart clothes, the audience might think that the characters are older than they are supposed to be in the Opening Sequence. My Group decided that we wanted our social group to be teenagers as it would appeal to our target audience more and the opening sequence would make more sense to our target audience and it would appeal to them.
Our Opening Sequence wouldn't represent people in university as they are old enough to go clubbing and wouldn't necessarily go in to a park or forest. If we wanted our social group to be students at university we would have to change the costume, set and possibly the scenario.

QUESTION ONE.

Question 1:
 In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?



There are eight different conventions that are generally used in an opening sequence. these are: and establishing shot, titles, mood and atmosphere, clues to the audience, equilibriem and disequilibriem, production and distributor logo and the soundtrack. These conventions are used to immideatly draw the veiwers attention to what is happening on the screen. They have done this so it will prompt the audience to ask questions and them trying to figure out what ig happening/going to happen in the film. A film in which some of these conventions are used is the last exorscism. They have set the mood by using eerie music at the start and giving the audience small clues to what could be going on.

In the opening sequence to my film called ' final warning' we have used a variety of conventions to draw the audience in and hook them at the very start of the film. To do this we have used the conventions of: soundtrack, disequilibriem, titles, atmosphere and giving the audience clues. We have used a creepy and uneasy soundtrack to put the audience on edge but draw them in to what is happening. 

we have also given the audience clues to what is happening by showing close ups of the dead body and some clues of how the person has ended up dead, we have also used a disequilibrium at the start of the sequence so that the opening sequence starts on a really negative note, it also makes the audience curious about what has happened and makes them want to watch on and find out how this person has died and why they have died.
