what kind of media institutions might distribute your product?

Some examples of media institutions that would distribute my media product are Warner Brothers, Lionsgate and Miramax. all of these institutions produce and distribute films within the thriller genre for example Miramax released Pulp Fiction on the 21st of October, 1994 which is within the thriller genre.

who would be the audience for your media product?

From the research I conducted into suitable age groups me and my project partner decided to go with a 15 certificate film, as this does not include overly explicit content. Not only this but the thriller genre can easily be aimed at people from 15 years through to 60+ years of age so we decided to go with a 15 certificate reducing the amount of complications that could be encountered, such as weapons, to much explicit language and potentially delve into overly dark themes.
 
what have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

from completing this media product, I have learnt how to make use of the programme Adobe Pro Plus and other adobe software. I learnt how to cut, edit, build effects, layer video files and make use of double tracking audio files within this software. I have also learnt how to edit pictures and insert them into my media product on Adobe Pro Plus.

In what ways does your media product use, develop or change forms of conventions of real media products?

In our media product we made use of synchronizing the music with the video shots to build the intensity of scenes and to add again to the atmosphere, this is commonly used in all films but thrillers make use of them the majority of the time. We also made use of a particular shot where in the foreground of the shot there is a blurred object and the victim is in focus but the focus changes revealing the object to be a knife, this again is used often in thrillers used to create mystery and tension throughout. we made use of mse en scene where we used a hat to represent a certain group of people, this isn't always used within thrillers but has been used in some thriller films.

looking back at your preliminary, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

from the preliminary product I can see how the use of purpose built materials such as professional cameras, tripods and professional editing software. Also I have been able to identify how a more diverse use of camera shots can increase the professional quality of the product. Not only this but it gives the product a more indulging feel for the audience meaning they can really follow the story, not to mention it increases the overall effect of the different camera shots helping to emphasis certain aspects of the scene. I have also learnt how the use of audio recordings or music can increase the effect of the atmosphere and increases the indulging effect and increasing the connection between the audience and the product.
