Preliminary task

The skill i have learnt from the preliminary task
1. chose a good location with hardly any background and a right amount of light needed
2. planing skills, i have improved planing to get everything needed for filming for a certain time
3. when editing the preliminary task I learned new skills to put into the main task

When comparing the preliminary task to the main task it is clear that the main task look more porfessinal because of the editing, film quality, setting and sound.
in the main task we did we a lot more camera angles however the main task is minutes long and the  preliminary task is 1.18 minutes.

The feedback we got form people about the  preliminary task was that is was not very interesting and that it was hard to watch because of the quality.

Respresentation

V for vendetta

The social groups we have shown here are the strong anti- new world order people a group that don’t believe in the government and the governments interests are not for the people, people that believe this are Alex Jones, David Icke , Anonymous and the people at Occupy Wall Street and other Occupy camps that were set up, this is the social group that Horus comes from this social background that is filled with different genders however mostly males and different ages for example with 12 year old explaining the crimes of the Canadian banking system link below- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axS-QdUkMqk&feature=player_embedded .


Alex Jones the paleoconservative


Horus wearing a T-shirt and jeans and handcuffed
In the opening scene, at the beginning two characters are introduced Horus and General C we all ready know that Horus is a prisoner because of the fact that he is handcuffed to the chair and because he is wearing casual cloths.
General C wearing a suit and tie


The General is wearing a black suit and tie this is too show his statues and power.

Horus and John are in the forest you can tell that this is a safe area for them because of the half burnt NWO posters and also they are meeting another member of the alliance. The reason there is burnt posters placed in the meeting area is to give the location history and to tell the audience that the rebels and military do fight and that this area has be won by the rebels and safe, this is similar to The Terminator 3 opening scene were John Conner is talking about the future and there is a match shot of skulls in the sea.

From the Terminator 3 opening scene

Burnt new world order posters

Back to the questioning room the computer screens have the NWO logo as the background the fact that they are background screens shows that the orders is much more powerful.

Target audience


Target audience

Our target audience are 15 or over people that enjoy thrillers and action movies also conspiracy theorist. We have appealed to the target audience by keeping the movie simple to understand even though of its storyline also by having a fresh and new storyline that is very rare is the media, the characters have be though the processes of Vladimir Propp theory about characters in a movie.
Horus- The Hero 

General C-The villain

John- The helper

Weapons Dealer- The donor

The movie is targeted at the English specking population as English in the most common language and make the most profit however if this movie was to be published it would be available in different languages. Everything that is in the opening scene was chosen to be there from the location to the costume, all were chosen to build and create an understanding with the audience.

Questions

Questions


In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? 
When we begun our media product all the characters learnt the lines and at the beginning of each day that we would shot there would be a briefing so everyone on the team would know what we would be doing, we also had a behind the scenes footage of the making of the product however the footage was lost in a accident.

Who would be the audience for your media project?
The social group that the movie represents is the conspiracy theorists mostly because of the theme of the movie and that it is based on the new world order conspiracy theories and the FEMA theories.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
We have learnt that without technologies this product would not of been half as good all of the tech played a important role from the tripod too iMoive. The movie opening was made using a technology iMovie the title is purely made with iMoive.

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? 
From looking back at my preliminary I found a lot of mistakes such as background noise and editing also in the main product we made sure that everyone apart of the product knows the lines also timing deciding on a time to shot a scene was important because in my primary task we ran into lunch time (1.25) this caused some distraction.
