When we first recorded our movie we noticed that the location of our movie was wrong this was because we wanted our location to look like a police investigation room but the problem with using out study room was that there was too much background scenery that made it look like we was in a school this was a problem because it made our film look unprofessional and this would affect our grades.So to resolve this issue we had to change our location from our study room to our school board room.
These images in the back made our film look unprofessional
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
One convention of an action thriller movies is that the killer is kept anonymous for as long as possible and throughout the movie little clues about his identity are revealed bit by bit such as their voice. My group developed this convention as well because did not reveal; the identity of the serial killer because we wanted to leave are audience fearful and scared of who they are, however we did use a voice over of the killers voice to reveal to the audience that the killer was a women. This was useful because it allowed use show our audience on key theme of an action thriller which is suspense this also challenged this convention because we revealed our killers voice at the begging of the movie whereas most action thrillers wait for a build-up. Another convention that is common in action thrillers that my group and I included is the use of blood, blood plays a big part in action thriller movies as it symbolises danger to the audience and this makes the audience expect the worse. Another convention that my group and I included was the use of music in our film music is common in most action thrillers as it sets the mood and alerts the audiences when something not right; the first time music is heard in our film is just after you hear the girl screaming this makes the audience this when they hear this set piece of music that someone is going to get hurt.
How does your media product represent a particular social group?
We wanted our media product to represent working class people living in inner city London because for the genre we picked (action-thrillers) it is common that normal everyday people are affected. We showed this through the use of costume and location also dialog. In our movies the character that had been murdered was wearing normal high street brand clothing this allowed our audience to notice that they was a normal everyday person because they were not wearing designer clothing or jewels that you may see on someone of a higher class. Also the area that we filmed in was in a normal working class inner city area to show that our characters are not use to a luxurious lifestyle.
This picture is from the beginning of our movie, the picture conforms our social group representation because it shows a normal working class victim. Also this picture shows a working class inner city street.

What kind of institution might distribute our media product and why?
One institution that could distribute our film is Warner brother this is because they are well known for releasing action thriller movies, this means that our movie would automatically have a positive way to be marketed. Also Sony may be interested in distributing our film because our film has the use of computers, phones and projectors all products that Sony make so therefore I our film would be a good way for them to promote their products and as a result this would draw more attention to our film.
Who would be the audience for our media product?
As a group we decided to aim our video anyone over the age of 15, our reason making this choice.
how will you attract your audience?
This presentation explains how me and my group would market our film to our audience I thought the best way to do this is to advertise our film on digital platforms instead of traditional platforms such as magazines and billboards this is because the access to our trailer and movie information will be easier because of the growth in convergent devices.
