6) What have you learnt about the technologies from the process of constructing?

We used Final cut witch allows you to add texts, effects and objects, this program gives the titles a professional look. It also makes the film more eye catching depending on the sort of fonts, effects and fades you use. We used final cut pro which allows to to cut, add clips and insert transitions, you place it on to the timeline and when its done it becomes your edited film. Another program we used was Soundtrack pro, which allows you to layover additional sounds, add sound effects and create your own sounds .

We used a video drive to save our clips and pictures, the memory card was used to save all our clips, we used the Mac computers to do make our film, the camcorder was used to film also Usb drives were used to save our material. I have learnt a lot using these programs and i have a deeper understanding of how to play about with the different functions.

Q2) How does your media product present particular social groups?

My media product is aimed at both male and female groups, the age group is 16-21 and young adults may also be interested and the ethnicity is aimed at a range of races.

My group didn't stereotype the audience that we wanted aim our product at, but the key thing we had in our mind was to keep our product based around young people because we thought that young people would adapt more and be more interested in the topic and the genre.

Location of the thriller 'Last Call'

For our thriller we chose the location London Fields train station as it is a quite train station where hardly anyone goes. So we thought nobody will bother us when filming although some still did. We also thought it was a good idea because we was able to get good still images and variety camera shots of the city.
We also wanted to film in the Hackney library because we needed a office kind of look for the scene we wanted to add for the police officer but was unable as it is a public area and had to get permission before had. Even though we was allowed but only to film in a certain area where no one could be filmed. in the end we thought this was bad idea as we needed a a computer and a table for the mise en scene which will help the audience get the feel of the surroundings. A few days after we then got permission to film in our teachers office which we found was alot better because he had all the facillities we needed for example piles of paper folders ,a computer and a desk. We then able to think of new ideas for the scene we had already thought of in the begginning and came up with a better one.

Q8) Audience feedback and comment

We recieved feedback from people in our media class and other people studying media. This is our wordle of the feedback, it shows the different types of words that were used to describe our film. The comments were generally positive.
