Evaluation How does your media product represent particular social groups

The social group that appeals to the audience is older teenagers such as 18's. As you can see i picked out a scene from my movie and a scene from the taking of pelham 123 because these two clip are similar. it show a a young gender wearing clothes like an everyday clothing.















This is kind of fit in the stereotype because both of the mysterious attacker are wearing dark jacket and an a hat. When we think of what the attacker is wearing we thought of this so that's why we chose that the attacker of our film would wear.



























As you can see both of our victim are wearing smart clothing like a suit and bright colour. we thought it would be good for our video when the victim stand out in the video

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

Here is an example which shows how our film is similar to that of Bullitt.

it shows how the camera shots are related, pans left and then followed by a zoom.


after this the production company is shown, extremely similar to that of ours.












after this is followed by the main character


then the title of the movie




EVALUATION: Question 1 - Forms and Conventions of title thriller sequence

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

In our film, we used our title sequence effectively to draw more emphasis on the genre of the film (suspense /mystery thriller) .

The intertextuality between the title sequence used is also used in many other films we have used.

Our titles/credits, slowly fade in, this draws more suspense as it resembles what is actually happening in the film (the killer slowly appearing).

However, our titles appear rapidly to add to the emphasis of the 'thriller' effect. 

On the left you can see the production company name of our company, whereas on the right, you can see the production company name of Pelham 123. Both of these are similar to each other because the title comes over a landscape shot of the environment.











On the left you can see our film title 'Shatter'. The effect of the titles are that it slowly fades in and crumbles towards the floor, to show effect that the glass is breaking, thus resembling a glass falling to the floor and breaking. The titles of Pelham 123 appear very fast, resembling a fast moving object, in this case, a moving train.









On the left our credits appear on our film, the names slowly fade in and fade out, to resemble the killer in our film. Whereas the credits on Pelham 23 appear very fast to build up suspense and to add to the frantic atmosphere which is already created by the amount of people rushing in the background.


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


As you can see here is the comparsion title sequence that inspired us and help us through the mading of thethriller opening. we followed each code and convention below is the intertextuality of us thriller and the taking of pelham 1 2 3 :





 




















































As you can hear from the taking of pelham 123 the beat is very high tempo which inspired is in our film.

Evaluation of the our film shatter

Before we started filming we had a lot of problems such as what location to film at but one of groups members stood up and volunteered and offer to film at his house. During the half term we didn't film at all so that was one of our problems but however after the half term we all buckled down at got serious and film. it took us only two days to fully get all our clips.  other than that i think we have produced the film to the best of our abilities. 


If we had more time to film, there is so much more we wanted to include to make our film flow easier and to show off more of our creativity camera skills. 
we also wanted to add a scene of window curtains moving when the shadow figures stand behind the victim and such noise and movements of the shadow figure walking but we haven't had enough time to achieve all of this.




This is one of my favourite scene in our film. it took a lot of time and caution when we was filming this because of the glass piece and we didn't want to harm one of our members.

I would like to thanks all to my group for having such a fun time while filming.
