Media Evaluation

How does your media production represent particular social groups ?

Our prodcution focuses mainly on teenagers we felt that we could appeal best to this audience because we are teenagers ourselfs so we know what other teenagers want to see in a film. We emphasised that the audience is based on teenagers by the way the some of the characters spoke especially Liams character who uses alot of slang when he speaks which teenagers can relate to. Also the dress code of the characters represents the social teenage group we are aiming at. We feel that the dress code was very important because you can get a rough idea about a person by the way they dress. The way somebody dresse's sends a message out to people about what they are about and we have used this in our peice.


What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?


A teenage based institution like M.T.V would help distribute out product because M.T.V has become less of a music channel and more of a teenage based programe during the years. I think that M.T.V would distribute this film because millions of teens watch M.T.V everyday so it would appeal to them and if u can appeal to teens that is a very big market to distribute to.

Who would be the audience for your media product?

The audience for our play is 13-19 year olds. The reason why we chose this age group is because people from these ages can relate to the story that out film tells. We did not wannt to aim it to an older audience because we knew that they would not relate to the story as well as teenagers.

How did you attract/address your audience?

We attracted the audience by making our title scene set the story so people who are watching it know what the film is about which will make them want to see how the story unfolds. Some of the locations we used would attract the audiences attention for example the school was used because allmost every teenage aged 13-18 are in education and go to school so that will engage them because they do the same thing everyday get up and go to school.


What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

I have learnt alot of things about the technologies of constructing this peice seen as this is the first time i have done media before. I have learnt how to put things like titles on a clip , edditing music into a clip , adding effects into certain clips etc. Ive learnt that u have to be patient when you use these programs because sometimes things can go wrong and it takes quiet a while to get certain things just exactly where u want it.
