Below, I have create a mindmap to show what I have learnt form each technology throughout the process of constructing my product. by kellysimpsonx

Overall, I have learnt that the use of different technologies can be extremely useful to appeal to different types of audiences. For example, younger audiences may appeal more to social sites such as youtube and pinterest, whereby older audiences may be available on Facebook and Vimeo. These different technologies can be used to reach a range of different audiences which is important in the film industry as it can help when advertising and promoting their film to a particular audience.

I have also learnt how the Adobe workshop works and how it can be very effective when editing a movie, and layering sounds and videos over one another and that it is also a way of placing effects over a clip to change the pace or appearance of the shot.

Evaluation - How did you attract/address your audience?

We have edited our feedback on Premier Pro and published it to Youtube.

I have used Linoit to display the feedback and show how we addressed our audience

Evaluation - Who would be the audience for your media product

I have created a powerpoint and placed it onto slideshare to show who would be the audience for my media product. I have based my film around a particular demographic and psychographic audience all of which is explained within the powerpoint,, and these were taken into account when, filming, editing, creating a treatment and also when choosing the characters and mise-en-scene of our opening title sequence.

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

This is the link to Film4's website, a page which advertises 12 years a slave. This would be relevant to my product as the taboo idea of a paedophile would be shown on the small art institutions, such as film4. 12 Years A Slave - Film4

Evalution - How does your media product represent particular social groups

My media product focuses on the negative representations of particular social groups. For example, the paedophile is represented as threatening, the young girl is represented as vulnerable, and within the treatment the single mother is portrayed as being unfit and unworthy. We have used these negative representations as they are stereotypically seen within Thriller films.  For example: There is a vulnerable child is seen in the Thriller film 'man on fire'

In the movie 'The Frozen Ground' we see the stereotypically threatening kidnapper, who too, is portrayed as an average Joe with a wife and children.

And in the film 'Taken' shows how the unworthy decisions of a single mother leads up to the kidnapping of her daughter. This is seen as the father is reluctant to let her go, but by the persuasion of the mother, eventually lets her. This could be interpreted as 'unfit' as the mother makes her daughter lie to the protective father, which intern lead her into a major kidnapping.
