Evaluation
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
My media product uses typical thriller conventions, for instance lighting and the description of the villain and other characters. The main and most important part of the movie opening, takes place in the typical, dark, mysterious place where the victim is being hidden, by the vicious, two faced villain. The main point is that other people are much weaker and helpless towards this young girl. Challenge forms include implying the details of the objects and people (I have focused on the depth of field) and also very good quality of the camera I used.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
I wanted my product to represent a group of teenagers. I tried to indicate that some of the stereotypes that we know about adolescents, are real. Especially the theme of 'Envious love' which can really become an obsession for many young people stepping into the world of adults and responsibilities.
Who will be the audience for your product?
I think that the best age for being able to watch the movie, are going to be people who are over 15 years old. This is going to increase the number of people, who will watch and enjoy the movie. In my opinion, 15 is a perfect age as the movie contains few violent scenes, and mainly gives an idea of cruel and unpredictable behavior towards other people.
How did you attract/address your audience?
To do this, I will use the internet to help to reach the audience from all around the world. The best solution to hit the media market, would be posting a trailer of the movie on YouTube and promoting it on other social networking websites. Other good way to attract the audience, would be creating a limited number of good quality posters, that could promote the movie, in the busy places like shopping centers, theatres or cinemas.
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I have learnt that over the time, technologies developed by adding more very helpful options to the camera, for example insteal of 'auto' now, we are able to use 'manual' which enable us to create the effect of depth of field whenever we want to. The other thing I have learnt is that now the quality of the image is much better than it use to be, and there is a huge variety of softwares with many different editing options, for example Adobe premiere cs5.
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
From the last, preliminary task i have learn how to use a camera myself. I have progressed the most, by learning how to use different types of camera shots and angles, including depth of field along with filmiming particular scenes with the important use of continiuity what comes with putting people in different roles to create meaning of the storyline. On the other hand, i learnt how to use the light, and what type of lighting suited specific scenes in my movie.

Filming on Friday
We have finally filmed a 360 shot, for the flashbacks that our movie contains.
The whole scene, is about Vanessa's imagination, where through the anger, she sees the love of her life, hugging his actual girlfriend.
With Rowena, we are planning, to split this shot into few, short parts, and use it in between other scenes with Vanessa, to indicate, that this is all she can think about.

Costumes
We don't have specific types of costumes, but our main character is a high class fashion blogger, so from Vanessa we expect skirt/dress (light colours) and the leather jacket. Her hair are suppossed to be curley, and her makeup needs to be done.
When it comes to Chester, he is more into comfortable clothing. For instance chinos, vans and plain shirt. We are thinking, of dressing him up as a typical teenage guy.
His current girlfiernd Naomi, will be wearing jeans, jumper (red/brown/black/grey) and purple converse.
For our movie, we will need many different photographs for the memento board, and for the blog. We are planning to change the outfits as often as possible, for evey photograph to look different.
