props

we used a car to show that the districte nurse was a professional that had to travel a far distance giving the sence that she is by her self and that she has no support. it also make the actor seem old enough to be a district nurse.



we used a candle to give an eerie effect. The glow in the basement make the audience know that there is something wrong. We like the shadow effect on the walls behind the actor that the candle light caused, it made the basement seem as if the evironment seems unnatural and as if there is something esle with her.


the folder give the actor a more professional look as it seems that there is lots she must know/ do. it also make her look as if it is just another ordinary day at work for her.



actors

we decised to use one actor in our opening sequence so the audeience could understand what is happening rather than going from one character to another. our actriss is danielle garden (me). she plays a district nurse visiting an elderly woman in her house.




this is a pic from the film. we decide to use me as the actor because my group decided that i was a good actor, and that i could express the correct emotion for the role. i need to be able to show the worry i had for Polly and how anxious the nurse was going into the dark basment.

location

After lots of decisions we decided use use Meg's house. this is because we decided that a normal house would build tension as they wouldn't expect anything unusual to happen, as well as this her house had a basement this mean we can use the stereotype of something bad always happening in the basement to use some of the idea typical of the horror genre.

Question 1

In what way does your media production use develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media productions?
I interpret this to mean; what differences are there between my production and one of a typical horror.

i think that the best way to anwer this question is with an interview this of the main actor (Danielle Garden), who plays margaret the district nurse.  this is because it wil give the adience an insight veiw of what the actor think of the film and how they felt when being apart of the production. an exemple of an interveiw with emma waston after she had been in the tale of Despereaux.



By having an interview it can help the audience and the interview see how the actor/actress really feels about the film not how she is meant to feel about it which they can hide when answering questions online, they can see if they are really excited or if they don't think it will be a great success by the body ques they give. it can also keep the actor in focus as they cant get distracted.

I think using an interview style technique to answer this question is good because you can see if the actor think that the convention they used was appropriate to the type of film they did, and if they would have do it slightly differently if they had known what they know about the production now.




Question 2

How does your media production represent particular social groups?
My interpretation: what group of people will best connect/understand the character in the film.

I think that they best way to answer this question is with the a slideshow. This is because it will quickly get what social group our production represented and why it was the best option to represent that group.

This link take you to some examples of good presentations

By having a PowerPoint the audience can easy understand what is being said and why it is that we chose to represent that social group; working class. By doing a PowerPoint the facts come across clearly and their is no objective point in the presentation.

Question 3

What kind of media institution might distribution your media product and why?
My interpretation; what type of production would help promote the audience to buy my film and why?

I think the best method of answering this question is using links. This is because I can find websites that explain the type of media productions that would produce our media production. links are a good methods because there websites can give the audience more detailed information about the production.

This link is to tiger aspects production, it is a independent production label. our production would be most likely be an independent production label because there are unknown people, it is a small group and it was low cost. An independent production label means not as much money can go into advertising and producing which means there will be less publicity.

however if it had been a larger production it would more likely have been a major conglomerate production label such as Sony.

Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media production?
My interpretation; who would come to see the film

The best way to answer this question is using audio,  as I can clearly tell the audience who would be likely to come see my film. An audio would help the audience to hear what audience we wanted to come see the film and now after the production the more likely audience to come see our production.

Question 5

how did you attract/address your audience
my interpretation; how would you have the film promoted to go see/ buy it

i think that the best way to answer this question is with images and graphs as I can show how a type of advertisement has developed in popularity. It is a good method as the audience can see why this type of promote has become more popular and why we would use it. We would use cheaper methods of advertising as we wont have much money to spend on the advertising due to the production label being independent as they wont be make as large enough profit to spend on promoting our productions as a larger label such as Sony.

there are different ways of advertising this graph so this so of the popular methods and none popular
methods of advertising




it would be like that we would use social media and word of mouth as it would be free and the promote the film incredibly well so lots of people would find out about the production.


Question 6

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of the constructing this production?
My interpretation; what technology did we use and what we did with it?

this link send you to a prezi presentation that ansers this question, to use it just it just press the spcae bar

Question 7

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
My interpretation; Have I made progress since I did my preliminary task?

I am going to answer this question in a presentation. this is because it will be easy to present the information and i can break the question into pieces so that its can be answers with more precision and detail.
