Evaluation Questions

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? (i.e. of film openings)

Using the same placement of titles as many films, putting them so they fit in with the shot. Many other films have used this so that they can easily be read by the audience.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

It shows a definate representation of class of people, showing the boy in the boot, and the 'gangster' above him shows a definate clash of class and personality.

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

Someone looking to distribute a comic book style film about a cop that is not on the right side of the law.

Who would be the audience for your media product?

Males aged 15 - 25

How did you attract/address your audience?

With the voice over describing what is going on in the shot. And the obvious prescence of violence.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Cameras have a tendancy to be left on record for longer than intended and record things that aren't needed, but sometimes useful.

Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

I think that I have learnt a great deal about film making in general, not to be too ambitious, and not to try and do things that are not plausable on a zero/low budget. Also to make sure that I have planned, booked and sorted everything out before it comes to the day of filming.

Note for Pete, I am not really sure about half of these questions, they are very vague. Will email you about it now though...
