{Evaluation} Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?


My preliminary task involved the same actors as my final film.
When maing the Prelimnary task, I worked on just thinking about camera angles and video and sound effects.

After creating my preliminay task there were areas which actually worked very well and I planned on using in my final piece. This involved a scifi camera effect which darkened the scene and changed the mood.
I used this effect in many of my scenes in the actual film which changed what was an ordinary lighting area into a dark mestirious effect.

Because the actors worked very well in the Preliminary task I really wanted to use them again in my fianl piece. Harry already had experience in acting as he was one of the top students in drama and took the roll of some really big plays for marlwood school.
Harriet also has had previous experience because she had been doing drama since the lower years of school.
So I knew I had made the right decision to use these actors to get the best out of my film.

{Evaluation} How does your media product represent social age groups?

My media product represents social age groups in many ways.

The actors used were targeted to be young which creates feel towards young teenagers as they are both in the same situiation and it can become more life like.

Also the language and tone used which stereo types teenagers sound like.

The setting as well, this is because the person (Harry) has come home from school.

The scene is very messy in Harrys room which shows relaxed, casual teenagers who doesn't care about stuff.

As my social age group is set for teenagers, I had to research on films which were in my genre and targeted the same age groups. Parnormal Activity was a film which I was inspired by to create mine. It involved few characters and set in one house which I did the same. When I did market research on Paranormal Activity I found out that the target social group was 'Teenagers'. Aged 15-19.
