The document discusses lessons learned from completing a preliminary media project and creating a full media product. It reflects on improving framing, planning the genre, and ensuring smooth transitions. It also addresses attracting the target young adult audience through relatable music, fashion, and technology. The response discusses sticking to thriller conventions like lack of dialogue but changing the protagonist to a teenager. It describes learning to use camera and editing software through practice and research. Representing social groups through characters with jobs/income and including diverse ethnic backgrounds is also mentioned.
3. How did you attract/address your audience? Firstly the music choice that we have used helps to attract the audience because they can relate to it and it may be something that they would listen to in their day to day lives. This could also mean that they can relate to the film and its genre because they recognise the music. Secondly the use of the mise-en-scene for example the clothes that our actress is wearing helps to attract our target audience because they may relate to them as it may be the style of clothes that they wear. Lastly the use of modern technology for example the photographs that were taken on a digital camera help to address the audience because it is a typical young adults behaviour. This is the way that young adults decide to take pictures at every opportunity to cherish memories and this is what our protagonist has done in our film.

7. How does your media product represent particular social groups? If we were to make the whole film we would show characters who have good, steady jobs and a reasonable income. This then makes them act as though they are of a better class representing the social groups that have a ‘higher class’ persona about them. Again if we were to make the whole film and distribute it, we would include characters that are from a different ethnic background than the protagonist to show diversity and make sure that we attract different kinds of audiences.
