Evaluation
1)In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms an conventions of real media products?
My thriller is called Door 29 and it can be compared to real media product because we used a lot of media software,technique and equipment for example :
Final cut pro: this allowed us to edit the length of the shots, match up all our shots and add transitions. Our film mainly contained cross dissolves between shots this is effect because it makes it flows nice and smooth however towards the end of our opening we decided to have fast sharp cuts to add tension. We was strongly influenced by Marathon so used a lot of parallel.
Soundtrack: enable us to create an original soundtrack, it also helped us to cut out unwanted dialogue in the background. At the opening i made it fade in so its nice and peaceful so it doesn't give away whats about to happen, however has it goes on i added effects like heart beats and heavy breathing so it matches with our jogger. Additionally has it goes on the speed of the music increased to build tension. At the end of our opening i added a bang, so it implies that our killer is going to kill her.
Livetype: this is what used to put all our credits with, just like most thrillers we stuck with one main font style throughout apart from. We used a bold Arial black font in white, then we added a dirt bike effect so it gives a sense that the title is moving with the jogger. The credits included who the film was directed by,starring, produced, music composer and the title. To make our film look even more professional we created a lot of various different names because in real films you'll rarely ever see the same name then once or twice.
Camera: We used a variety of shot angles and shot types to make it look more interesting, however we had to be very careful because we had to make sure there wasn't any continuous editing. Two shots i thought was very effect was the pan in the bushes where we can see our jogger, this was effective because it seemed as if we are spying on her, and the over the shoulder shot where you see the killer looking down at the picturProxy-Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0
2C this shot was effect because the next shot it cuts to our jogger and it implies that she is his target.

Mise en scene: My locations are mile end park and my flat which is also in mile end in east London, this was great because the locations was in walking distance. Our props where simple an envelope,money and a picture for our killer and for the jogger just an ipod and a bottle of water. Costume for both our jogger and killer was very basic, we was going for a natural look to show this is just a normal neighbourhood, our jogger was simple wearing tracksuit top and leggings which is what most female joggers wear. The killer was casual dressed in a t-shirt and trousers.
2) How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Our film is set in an urban area so it is representing urban east London teens from the age of 15-25 from both genders. There hobbies include going to the cinemas, partying and basically has an active social life. Our main characters are very stereotypical even though we do break some conventions because the jogger who is a female is playing an active roll instead of the normal housewife roll, however this doesn't last for long because she's about to get murdered. Our kill is very stereotypical because he is a black male who are often associated with because criminals.

6) What have you learned about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
My college is equipped with imacs computers with special software for a specific jobs which included :
Livetype:
This allows you to add text,objects,template and effects, for example dissolving,fades, glows and many more on to your footage to give it a professional look.
Soundtrack
This enables you to add or layover natural sounds like footsteps, clapping and screaming. You can also add sound effects either to make your film comical or to build tension. Additionally you could even create an original soundtrack to make the footage more interesting.
final cut pro,after you've watched a footage you can choose to shorten or lengthening your footage by putting an input and an output anywhere you see fit then you drag it down to the time line. This software also includes many effects and transitions for example fades, dissolves,wipes and many more. I additionally learnt I could place music or sound effects on to the time line to give my film a specific feel whether its sad happy or tense.
i also used blogger to post what i've done in my lesson and what i have learnt in my tutorial sessions. To film I was given valuable state of the art camera and tripods to film with. To transfer work from the camera to the computer I used a usb drive and S.T memory cards. I've learnt from Livetype different jobs people have in the film industry that I didn't know about before and using Soundtrack I've gained a better understanding of how to mix sounds by applying rhythm and volume.7) Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learned in the progression from it to the full product?
I have learned alot from when i first started this project
