Question 7 - Evaluation

Firstly, I found the preliminary task incredibly useful in helping me understand the importance of editing and how key good editing can be to making a really good product. Another important thing I found when doing the preliminary task is that you need to take lots of takes of the same shot just incase one shot is ever so slightly wrong and therefore you have plently others to rely on and thus it gives you cleaner and better product if you have a many shots to choose from. 

Additionally, the importance of continuity also became something I learnt about throughout the proces of making the Preliminary Task. For example as you may see in our Preliminary Task, some of our shots might not add up due to the little things like having hands on the table and then next shot them not being there, this therefore was a mistake that we corrected when producing the final project. 

Here is our Preliminary Task

Question 5 - Evaluation

How did you attract/address your audience?

We attracted our audience in many ways. 

Firstly, because we were excited about the project we were working on, we therefore attracted our audience through our word and purely conversing with others about the media product. This was found to be an effective method because when you show your excitement to others about a personal thing, they usually support you and want to hear and know more therefore we attracted our audience through that method. 

Another method we used was social media, we spread the word of our final project online which therefore attracted the attention of people around the world who were and are into the same genre as our film. We used the likes of Facebook and twitter to showcase our project online. This has been successful for many big name films, an example would be the Marvel Facebook account uploading all of their film trailers so the whole world can see them easily. 


The final method we used was uploading the project onto youtube, this therefore means that any person scouring youtube for gritty British crime films, they'll see ours and thus attracts our audience in another way.

Question 3 - Evaluation


Film 4 was the company that we believed who would distribute our Final Project. We found the links between their films and ours uncanny and that no other institution were distribute our product who related better with our product than Film 4.
