1.In what ways does your media project use, develop or challnge forms and conventions of real media products?
Our video differed from usual thriller concepts which usually start in a dark place with ominous sounds and visuals but our video started with an establishing shot in a bright place, our project was set entirely in daytime to put across the view that the killer does not care wether he kills in daylight or not which contrasts usual thrillers where murders take place in dark areas.

2.How does your media project represent particular media groups?
The group that is portrayed in our project is the teens and young people as they are the types of people acting in the video, also it could be said to portray people around the south-eastern area of London as this is where the film is set and filmed and also the fact that most murders carried out n the UK are committed by young people in their teens or early twenties.

3.What kind of media institution might distribute your media project and why?
The Media institution that might distribute our film would be a company that makes films on a tight budget such as film 4 or united artists. this is because these companies have been known to make excellent films in low budgets and our film would definately be a gritty low budget film and these companies, film 4 especially have bought out phenomonal films at only fraction of the price of some high tech films that are not always up to the standard of there films.

4.Who would be the audience for your media project?
The main audience would be youths 16+ as in our film we wanted it to represent true events that occur day to day all over the UK and we think that people our age can relate to this as these are dangers that people face all the time. This sort of crime. teenagers being killed happens alot in the UK and you see it weekly on the news so people know this is based on a very true, very serious issue. Another group of people that it might attract are people who like to try to get into the mind and figure out hat is going on inside the head of a psychotic killer.

5.How did you attract/address your audience?
The way that we attracted our audience and adressed them by showing local areas within the community that seem normal but this view is changed after the events that occur within the said community as people are killed and the communitys image is tainted by this.

6.what have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this project?
I have noticed that when i first tried using all of the technologies used in processing our film i found them really hard to use and very complicated but since i have been using them much more i can use them easily now and make good use of the oppurtunites they create in making much better films and prodicts.

7.Looking back at your prelimanary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the product?
Looking back at my preliminary task i have learnt that varied use of camera shots adds a good effect to the shot and that over the shoulder shots add a certain degree of franticness to the film. I have also learnt that it is best to film at daytime nd darken the film via editing programs rather than filming at night as it appears too dark on screen. There are a number of faults that i now know we should improve such as the establishing shot which was too long and it would have been better to use a tripod for the image of the dead body to give a clearer view of what has happened.
