EVALUATION
what have you learnt about technologies through the process of constructing this product ?
when creating our blogs we had to use a large admount of diffrent technologies. we needed to upload diffrent types of content to make our posts visual in order to follow the marking criteria. this helped make my work look alot more intresting and easier to understand so when someone read it they would have a better idea in there head as to what exactly we where talking about.
During the filming of the opening sequence we used the obvious pieces of equipment like the camera and the tri-pod. I found that using the tri-pod involved carful setting up because if everything was too loose the camera wouldnt be rigid enough to capture the shots without wobble but if it was too tight it made our panning shots look sharp and jerky rather than smooth and professional like it should be.
for music I started to use websites of the internet or in this case www.freeplaymusic.com
where I developed my skills in choosing appropriate music that matched the tempo of the opening sequence and helped accuratly portray it as a thriller opening sequence rather than an american cop show as our original music choice showed.
during the editing sequence of our film I learnt most in the form of new technlogies through livetype. livetype I never used before so it was a great challange for me to try and overcome. I managed to use livetype creatively and effectively by the halfway point of the editing stage for example I started using pillars and car windscreens in which to place my titles for greater cinematic effect compared to the boring title straight across the screen as I had done in my preliminary task. when it came to the evaluation stage we followed the usual formula with our blogs by uploading as much visual material as possible to stress our points.

Looking back at your preliminary task, what did you feel you have learnt in the progression from that to the full?
looking at my preliminary I feel that I have progressed massively with my overall knowledge of shot-types (use more than the basic close ups and long shots) my knowledge of media terms and awareness to the universal rules of filming and framing a shot.
During the preliminary the cracks in my knowledge inadvaribly showed through the lack of a professional look to my work, major things such as camera shaking, continuity errors and lack of variation in my shot types aswell as ignoring the rules of filming like the 180 degree rule however my current task is a vast step up there is much more creative use of the camera such as the shot we can see of alex that is panned across the bonnet. The general shot quality is also vastly improved there is less camera shake making the film look more professional and slick. continuity problems are less noticeable and non exsistent. My useage of the editing programs on the current task is much better compared to my prelminiary task where for example a title would just be placed on screen my current task would have titles placed on things like pillars and across car windscreens through the use of livetype.

EVALUATION
who would be the audience for your media product?
I think the target audience for our media product is going to be young teenagers up to adults or somewhere in the age range of between 17 and 28 as I feel this is likely to be the biggest audience who will be attracted to our film.
I think they will be middle class people from the areas of sutton and wimbeldon.
