how does your media product represent particular social groups?

I feel that our main character is similar to Character played by Heath Ledger the joker in the 2008 blockbuster The Dark Knight by Christopher Nolan. My reasons for this are that the joker shares Many things in common with our main character, For example he is criminally insane and a threat to Society. Also adding to this I feel that the joker acts in the same way our main character Does. We have dressed our main character in dark And rugged clothes, this is to indicate a sense of danger and tension. By using black As the colour of the clothes and the bag over his head it makes the character seem Inhuman and almost lacks feelings and emotions.


who would be the audience for your media product?

Our media product is for a specific type of audience, for example people who love thrillers and enjoy watching them and also people who don’t mind a bit of violence and strong language. We and the bbcf have rated our media product as 15 this means Suitable only for 15 years and over and that No one younger than 15 may see a ‘15’ film in a cinema. No one younger than 15 may rent or buy a ‘15’ rated film.

How does your media product represent particular social groups ?

we feel that our main character is similar in many ways to the character of the Joker in Batman the dark knight. The reasons for us choosing the joker is that he suits our idea of a villain. Firstly, there is an air of mystery and confusion surrounding the main character in our plot, also it seems that his sanity can be questioned. Our villain is male and our victim is female this helps represent women as vulnerable and almost helpless as they need rescuing.

Camera Work
-execllent
-disorientating when needed to be,
-Shot distances appropriate to give disorientating feel
-variety of shots effectiveley placed for earie feel to film.
-Location shots good for setting the environment

Sound
-Sound could be made more relevant to whats happening, sounds a bit thrown in in places
-Personally would make the sound more atmospheric then synthetics

Mise en scene
-Good use of props the head bag was good for not suffocating their actor tho giving the appearance of distress

Editing
-variety transitions
blur filters and quick transitions effective at creating disorientation feel.
fade transitions create confusion then small window of realisation of new scene

thriller feedback



mise-en-scene

- use filters to make lighting in the woods more dark and creepy
- the lighting is a little too dark at the end, edit it to make it lighter
- location- no link to why they are in the woods. add props and show how they got location

camera work

- good hand held/ point of view
- range of shot types
- hand held too shaky
- establishing shot would make audience understand more

sound

- make music in sync
- make it more diegetic
- music does not fit the film
- add folly

editing

- add contras into the beginning bits to draw viewer in more
