FinalThriller

Question 7 - Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

I was set a preliminary task to show my current skills at the time so I could analyze what we did well and what i could improve on for my final sequence. My task involved one person entering a room, sitting down and having a short conversation with the person opposite. I learnt how to use different camera angles to portray authorities of each character and to show who is talking a the moment in time. I also learnt how to use the software we were going to use for our thriller and also how to set up a tripod.This preliminary task allowed me to have an engaging and dramatic opening sequence as i could analyze the preliminary task and look at what i did wrong and change it for my final thriller opening sequence. This then improved my work and i then could have an opening sequence which creates shock, surprise and suspense. I could have also looked at what i did well which i then used in my final idea as i knew what i created was god and will give me confidence in my final idea. This preliminary task helped me with my final idea because it taught me what i should used and what i shouldn't use. It taught me that i should plan before filming and also give myself a lot more time to film more footage. This was because we didn't have a plan for the preliminary work which is why it turned out not very good so i then knew that i should use one so that we can get on and film as much footage as possible. In addition i also knew that i should've given myself a lot more time to film in the final production because i could then film lots of footage which i could then edit and choose which footage works best. I learnt this because in my preliminary work the amount of footage i had wasn't enough to make a successful piece.

Question 2 - How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The main characters in my sequence are an unknown killer, a blond women and a husband. I left the identity of the killer unknown as it leaves the audience in suspense and makes them want to know who it is so they are more on the edge of their seats which will engage the audience more to. 

I used a blond girl as it is conventional and stereotypical and engages the audience into my film as they are waiting for something to happen to her as blond girls are stereotypically known to be stupid and vulnerable. I used this as it is one way to subtly show that she is vulnerable without actually saying it. This then creates suspense as they are waiting for her to be killed or injured. The girl in my opening sequence appeals to the audience as women can relate to her situation and think about how they would be feeling in her situation. She also appeals to the audience as anyone who watches a thriller out of choice wants to see someone being murdered and they know from the start she is going to be the victim.

These characters appeal to my audience, people aged between 15-30, as the killer makes the audience put themselves into the victims shoes and empathises with their situation. This also appeals to the audience as they do not know when the killer will pop up which then creates suspense.
