What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
We have learnt to use Garage Band proficiently. Due to the new sector of the corse, we had to use copy free sounds. This meant making our own music on Garage Band. By making our own music it gave us the opportunity to score the music, to fit with the film. Apart from that, the rest of the technology we used we already knew how to use. However it was more a case of expanding our knowledge, to encorporate what we had invisaged in the original planning setions. This was basically the understanding of different types of effects we could place on both the visual and audio footage we had.
Looking Back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
As a group the main thing we have learnt is to get more footage than really needed. We had a problem with the preliminary task, because we didn't quite get all the footage we needed. The same thing happened when we filmed are real thing, however that was due to running out of time. Another thing we learnt was, it's much harder to make your own music. Also how important detailed storyboarding was. We had ruff ideas of the story in the preliminary task, but ended up making must of it up. The small things we learnt from the task before hand, really helped to make the final product run as smoothly as possible.

Evaluation
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products.
Our thriller uses conventions of the thriller genre. For example we use short clips and dramatic of key sound to put the audience on edge and to feel uncomfortable. We also use flashbacks which is a conventional aspect of the thriller genre. We challenge the conventions of real media products by the narrative of the thriller, by showing the truamatic event first and then showing the character's life afterwards.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Our thriller represents negatively on teenage social groups who our represented as violent, drug-addicted people. However we do try the make the audience feel sorry for the main character as he his traumatized
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
A british distribution company might distribute our media product because it is set in Britain and about Britain. A company such as Channel 4 films, Film Four and BBC Films. As the thriller is british it would appeal to audiences in Britain
Who would be the audience for your media product?
It would be aimed at primarily the young adult consumer, and therefore give it a certificate fiveteen with some more mature content such as drugs useage and possibly some more violent themes revolving around the drugs underworld.
How did you attract /address your audience?
We started our piece with high speed acytion style shots which created some mystery and hpoopefully will serve to intrigue the audience and also capture their attention hopefully keeping them engaged on the piece. We also concentrated on some themes which maybe more relevant to the younger adult audience such as the theme of drugs.
