Evaluation Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

There are no particular groups of people of a certain age, race, gender, religion, ethnicity or culture. However I do believe that my thriller product does “speak” to a certain type of people who would enjoy watching my thrillers genre. These people I would associate as relatively within the ages of 15-60, any race, any gender, and any religion except those that view violence as particularly bad and any ethnicity or culture.

Speaking of culture however does raise the question of whether or not my thriller could be associated as a realistic possibility and whether or not it is more possible to occur in a certain culture. This is important to know as I would then realise these characteristics of my target audience and possibly alter the thriller or market it to certain people. This culture I see as possibly European, or American? I see it less likely to relate to audiences of other cultures such as Asian, African, South American etc. as the actors do not look like them or act in certain ways that the public from another culture would. The whole thriller is also set in the English countryside, and not somewhere else that other cultures may find easy to relate to. It is for this reason why I don’t think that any other culture would easily relate to my product.

Age wise, there are also small limits to which I think my thriller will be appropriate or enjoyable to certain groups of ages. For example I believe my thriller is not suitable for anyone under the age of 12 to watch, this is due to the large use of cigarettes, violence etc. And I also believe that anyone over the age of 60 may dislike the genre of a thriller but I could be wrong with that certain hypothesis. It completely depends on the own persons personal taste.

In conclusion I have not particularly “altered” my video to fit a certain social group’s perceived tastes. However I believe that my thriller rather fits into a universal social group of most people, which in general means that anyone can enjoy it but it purely depends on the own audience members personal tastes.

Final Changes

I have now finished the intro and I am very proud of it! We had to make a very small amount of changes but I am happy they worked well and now compliment the intro well.

1. The first change was I could not film the actor William actually driving in the car, I wanted this as shown in the storyboard to show he was driving and make it more realistic however I could not since William was not comfortable enough trying to drive the vehicle.
2. Secondly I could not film the Actor Anthony hiding behind a tree/rock when he had fallen over, not only because it would have made my film too long but it also was very hard to find a realistic place that he could have fallen.
3. I could not get any titles made with a graffiti looking font on the tunnel, due to the program I was using not having a suitable effect.
4. In the last scene we took out the part of William standing over Anthony (the protagonist) as we found it took some of the suspense out of it, we also did not put the sound of a gun in as we felt this caused the same problem and instead left the audience eager to find out what happened with out it.
