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

In our product we present a typical pace structure of a thriller, the clips start off as quite slow and flowing but towards the end you will notice each clip is slightly shorter. The non diagetic sound  (inevitably) is tense and menacing which suggests something is about to happen. 


also typical to a thriller is the questions raised by the audience and I feel as though this product does create mystery. You never really get to see the subjects face and you are not quite sure what they are up to. 


the themes used in this product is isolation and perhaps revenge. 


2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

As you can see throughout our media product it is constantly challenging the idea of gender, serial killers are usually male however in this product the antagonist is female, stereotypically serial killers are portrayed as large, powerful and dangerous, however through scene and low camera angles, this antagonist is portrayed as scheming and elegant. Our product also combines the conformity of the working culture ( which we have shown through costume) with a deranged serial killer, which I believe challenges the idea of conformity and the working life.  

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

I believe these following films institutions will distribute our media product, more likely companies like Lions gate and paramount for they are well known for presenting rather dark, sinister films such as thrillers and horrors such as saw and paranormal activity . The other institutes are also relevant to our media product.

4. Who would be the audience for your media product
As we do not want to restrict our audience too much we considered a fair age certificate would be a 

5. How did you attract/address your audience?
I believe we attracted our audience through a few factors, one being the title of out film "The Working Women" the idea is that hopefully this will intrigue people into watching it to find out what its all about. Also the film may appeal to everyday people who work a 9-5 like the main character possibly does here. 

To get the audiences attention I posted our product on YouTube to receive audience feedback and this is what was said 

Not the most constructive feedback but it still helps us to get an idea of what people are thinking of our media product 

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of contructing this product

7. Looking back at your prelim task, what do you feel you have learned in the progression from it to the full product.

Without a doubt since our preliminary we come a long way. I would say that we had improved in almost all areas. Since our preliminary our framing for each shot has been much better as you can see in this shot the subjects legs are very tightly framed. 
 








Whereas in our preliminary task we left far too much extra room on each shot.


We have also come a long way with the editing as we moved from out of the comfort zone with using "I Movie" and delved straight into the unknown with using "final cut". It was a challenge to start with however it made the movie much better and we  managed to create a shallow depth of field at the beginning, which is an effect you could not create with "I Movie"

We also improved with the camera angles and the use of the camera was much better. less shaky and more accurate.
