Question 6 on evaluation sheet.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
Whilst we were doing our opening seqeunce, I was coming across a variety of different technologies that you can use to do the opening seqeunce. For example, we were using the camera which is the most obviously technology you can ever use. This piece of technology allows you to record and cut bits out whilst filming something. Aswell as the camera, we were using technologies such as the Imac which allows you to edit some of the recording we've done during the process. This is a really useful piece of technology because it allows you to make the opening sequence more accurate and more professional. We also used the Imac to sort out the titles for our opening seqeunce so that the opening seqeunce can look even more professional just like the opening sequences in real life films. Another piece of technology we used during the opening sequence is the scanner. This gives you the opportunity to scan in some of your work and put it on the Imac into your documents. This is a really useful piece of technology because it can show evidence for your opening sequences and it can back up your points which is a really useful way of succeeding your project. Throughout our process, we used the scanner to scan a piece of paper that contained a load of relevant information that was based on the topic. We then put this on to our blogs to show exactly what we were doing as a group.

There are many types of technology that are useful for the media industry; especially when it comes to creating an opening seqeunce for your film.

Questions 4 and 5 on evaluation sheet.

Question 4: Who would be the audience for your media product?
The type of audience we are looking for are people that are interested in thriller/scary movies and also the people that are 16 years of age or over. Most of the people that we are looking for are males because they are the ones who have a big interest in the thriller movie society. We are hoping fot these people to buy our media product and make them except the quality and the use of professional filming for our film.
Question 5: How did you attract/address the audience?
I attracted/addressed the audience by simply revealing a very good advertisement that people around that people around the world can be interested in. I also attracted the audience by making the price very low so that more people can come and see the film so that we as a filming company can make a bigger target audience which will therefore make the film more popular. We will be advertising this film more by doing television advertisments, leaflets, radio advertising, etc.

Question 3 on opening sequence evaluation.

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

Our opening sequence is a thriller. It is an opening sequence that is introduced for people aged 16-24. The title of our film is called Hummerscavern.
In our opening sequence, we haven't yet decided on the institution in our group but we will eventually come up with one. We do however have some of the titles in the opening sequence and we still need to finish off some of the titles in some of the shots. We are however thinking about using Lionsgate as our institution. Lionsgate is an institution from America that was first introduced in 1997. Many films were made by this institution company. Infact its actually one of the most famous film institutions ever introduced. Lionsgate would be a brilliant selection for our opening sequence because the sky with the background is related to the beginning of our opening sequence. In other words, the beginning of our opening sequence is revealing clouds in the sky and slowly the camera comes back down and faces the protagonist. This is a perfect match for our opening sequence and the audience would be more than interested to watch.
