EVALUATION OF ‘THE SPECTATOR’
IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT USE, DEVELOP OR
CHALLENGE FORMS AND CONVENTIONS OF REAL MEDIA
PRODUCTS?

1) DID YOU AIM TO CONFORM OR CHALLENGE CONVENTIONS IN
YOUR PRODUCT?
• When doing the plot we decided to start with having the typical actors
playing the typical roles. This is that we should have that antagonist
being male, this is because they are typically known as the ones who
cause the trouble/problem. As we decided to have the female victim as
this then gives that tension between the two different sexes. We
identified this as it is the most typical use in thrillers and that even
thought it is common it does work really well. For example, in the film
‘THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE’, WE SEE Katniss Everdeen the main
female character who is the typical female victim, and we also have
President Snow as the male antagonist. Although, some films rarely
HAVE THE MALE VICTIM, FOR EXAMPLE, ‘THE DARK KNIGHT’ HAS Batman as the
male victim and The Joker is the male antagonist..

1) DID YOU AIM TO CONFORM OR CHALLENGE
CONVENTIONS IN YOUR PRODUCT?
CONTINUED…
• When plotting our opening sequence we decided to try and use eerie
sounds that would help to create tension as this is what a thriller is
meant to do. We also used heart beats in the start of it this was to try
and give the idea of panic and to help create an atmosphere for the
audience.

1) DID YOU AIM TO CONFORM OR CHALLENGE
CONVENTIONS IN YOUR PRODUCT?
CONTINUED…
• With our opening sequence we went to challenge the conventions, but decided not to
with what we wanted to do. But other than those conventions with the typically female
VICTIM AND THE MALE ANTAGONIST, WE DO HAVE OTHER TYPICAL CONVENTIONS FOR THE ‘THRILLER’
theme, such as a lot of black, sudden loud noise at the beginning, its calm at the
beginning, and we see where the it is set, what the surroundings are, of the typical
forest scene. The images we use, are dark, they seem quite and abandoned, like there
WOULDN’T bE ANYTHING WRONG AND THE SILENCE AND PEACE DISTRACT IT FROM SEEMING
DANGEROUS. A CERTAIN CAMERA ANGLE WE USE WHEN THE CAMERA IS ON ALEX’S FACE AND IT
follows her as she shots up, it is a creative shot, it makes it as though she is coming out
and it makes you jump as she jumps. The camera movement of when we see the point of
view shot of the victim running in the field, shows danger and creates tension as it is
blurry and you cant really see anything. The sound effects we used typically the
heart beat slow and then faster as she is running and gets shocked. We have no music,
just at the background sounds, either natural like at the beginning we have the wind
chime at the beginning is the sound from the clip and is a natural sound. Our main theme
is a thriller, but we have also maybe used the horror theme in some ways as we have
tried my it scary and to shock people.

2) WHAT FORMS OF CONVENTIONS DID YOU IDENTIFY
THROUGH YOUR RESEARCH?
• When looking at different thrillers we took note of the typical
conventions that should be found in a Thriller. This consisted of
the plot having a mind twist in the middle of the film, for
example thinking someone killed someone and finding out that it
was someone else. The reason for this is to keep the audience
interested. When looking at Thrillers the normal sounds that
are used is a eerie backing sound to the actions that is taking
place on the screen. Other sounds such as heart beats,
screaming and enhanced sounds such as the wind or a creek is
often used. The use of settings often consists of sun down houses
such as cabins of little flats that are found in rural areas. The
settings also consisted of woods/forests and very dark places.
This is because it fits into the miss en scene of dark areas that
look uninhabited or are out of the usual. In the opening sequence
the titles often tend to be white or red on a black background
and the fonts tend to be jumpy and bold. Our opening sequence is
aimed at the male gender at any age. The reason for this is
because when we did an interview on our family members we all
found out that it was mainly the male gender that were
interested and that it did go form the age of 18-60. So when doing

TYPICAL PLACES OF A THRILLER….

2) WHAT FORMS OF CONVENTIONS DID YOU
IDENTIFY THROUGH YOUR RESEARCH?
CONTINUED…
• We tried to represent them through the many different ways such as the
plot of our opening sequence, titles, sounds, editing ETC. In the plot we
decided to have a male antagonist and a female victim this is because it
is what they expected as they liked having a female as the victim as
they seem vulnerable and make a good easy victim. By doing this also
went into the typical idea of what is in a Thriller of what helps to then
interest the older ages as well as the younger ages. Throughout the
whole of the opening sequence we also kept the lighting dark and we
ALSO HAD MOST OF THE SEQUENCE IN THE FOREST OF WHAT IS 'TYPICAL’. IT ALSO
helps to create the sort of scary atmosphere that they are looking to
find in the thriller. To try and help the scary/tense atmosphere when in
the running scene at the start we used a point of view shot and used a
very loud heart beat. the reason for doing this is because we where
trying to bring the character closer to the audience and make them
feel as she was. When coming to sound this type of audience are going to
want loud and intense and enhanced sounds. The reason for this is
because they are going to want to feel as if they are experiencing it
them sleeves as they want to feel the adrenaline rush from the loud
sounds such as the heart beat and the eerie music.

3) WHAT KIND OF MEDIA INSTITUTION MIGHT DISTRIBUTE
YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT AND WHY?
• A Hollywood company such as Warner Brothers FOR EXAMPLE WOULDN’T
distribute our media product, this is because our product does not fit
the typical conventions that are found in a Hollywood film. The reason
for this is because we had a very low budget and do not have the
resources that a big Hollywood film would have to be able to higher big
actors/directors, have a big fan base already existing, nor were we
able to have amazing CGI as we did not have the things we needed to do
this available. However if we were to have these different things such
as big actors and a high budget to allow good CGI etc then they would
have been more interested in distributing our media product as they
would have gotten our product more interesting and would have made it
more profitable. However our media product would be more likely
distributed by a British institution than a Hollywood one. This is because
of numerous reasons such as having a low budget, Niche Audience
because of our specific theme and because of our British typical
conventional thriller.

WARNER BROTHERS
• Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., formerly known as Warner Bros.
Studios, commonly referred to as Warner Bros. (spelled Warner
Brothers during the company's early years), or simply WB—is an
American producer of film, television, and music entertainment.
• One of the major film studios, it is a subsidiary of Time Warner, with its
headquarters in Burbank, California and New York. Warner Bros. has
several subsidiary companies, including Warner Bros. Studios, Warner
Bros. Pictures, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, Warner Bros.
Television, Warner Bros. Animation, Warner Home Video, New Line Cinema,
TheWB.com, and DC Entertainment. Warner owns half of The CW Television
Network.
• In the late 1990s, Warner obtained rights to the Harry Potter novels,
and released feature film adaptations of the first in 2001, the second
in 2002, the third in June 2004, the fourth in November 2005, and the fifth
on July 11, 2007. The sixth was slated for November 2008, but Warner
moved it to July 2009 only three months before the movie was supposed
to come out, citing the lack of summer blockbusters in 2009 (due to the
Writer's Strike) as the reason. The decision was purely financial, and
ALAN HORN SAID, "THERE WERE NO DELAYS. I’VE SEEN THE MOVIE. IT IS FAbULOUS.
We would have been perfectly able to have it out in November.” This
resulted in a massive fan backlash. The seventh and final adaptation

3) WHAT KIND OF MEDIA INSTITUTION MIGHT
DISTRIBUTE YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT AND WHY?
CONTINUED…
What British institution would be interesting in producing our media
product?
• A British company such as Hammer would be interested in our Media
Product because they are an institution that are based in the United
KINGDOM AND ARE KNOWN FOR A SERIES OF GOTHIC ‘HAMMER HORROR’. EVEN
THOUGH OUR PRODUCT ISN’T A HORROR IT IS A THRILLER AND DES CONTAIN SOME
same conventions such as having the jumps and the mystery. They may
also be interested in our media product because we have stuck to the
old traditional conventions of a thriller that may appeal to their
AUDIENCE. THIS IS ALSO TYPICALLY bRITISH AS WE HAVEN’T GONE AGAINST THE
CONVENTIONS OR TRIED TO CHANGE IT AND IT IS WHY IT WOULDN’T FIT A TYPICAL
HOLLYWOOD FILM AS THEY TRY TO GO AGAINST THE CONVENTIONS. AS WE HAVEN’T
gone against the conventions and have stuck to the typical film it
makes our film had a niche audience and this is what Ealing attract.
They also would want to produce our media product because it is one a
low budget meaning they would be able to easily produce our product
meaning they would be more likely to earn back money and make a
profit.

CONTINUED…
Who would want to distribute and how?
• Artificial Eye & Entertainment One are both companies that might
distribute this film. This is because they both have headquarters in the
UK and both hugely distribute within the UK. They both have an interest
in distributing film of entertainment and Entertainment One seem to
have a pattern of distributing a few horrors and thrillers.
• They could distribute our film though many different ways such as:
• There are a number of different ways in which our media product could
be distributed this could be done through the internet by online adverts
and trailer or through bill boards/ posters.

Another way of distributing can be through franchise products as well.

film. The

4) WHAT WOULD BE THE AUDIENCE FOR
YOUR MEDIA PROJECT?
When doing the audience research we said that it would be mainly
the male gender compared to boys that would watch it and that it
would also mainly young and maybe the old. our opening sequence is
to typically entertain the people watching it. Our opening
sequence is niche this is because we want a specific audience to
watch it and we want our opening sequence to appeal to the male
gender as we know that they are most likely to find it more
entertaining . Our audience wouldn't be main stream because it isn't
a suitable film for younger ages and it isn't the type of film that a
family would watch either.

MEDIA PROJECT?
CONTINUED…
• This type of genre is normally aimed at elderly teens such as 16 and
above of whom would tend to watch this as a diversion. This is because
most teenagers enjoy thrillers because of the typical conventions of
the jumps and thrills that come along within the film such as
adrenaline. The older generation is not typically attracted to this
TYPE OF GENRE AS THEY DON’T ENJOY THE TYPICAL CONVENTION OF A THRILLER.
The may also not understand or be able to link with the new types of
thrillers as they may prefer the older films as they may understand
them more. However middle ages people may enjoy out genre of film
because firstly it is a diversion also with the mystery they may enjoy
trying to solve the mystery that underlies the storyline of the film.
YOUNGER AGES UNDER THE AGE OF 16 WOULDN’T WATCH THRILLERS AS THEY TEND
to have mystery with them of what tends to play on the mind in a scary
way. Meaning they my no understand hat they are watching also would
FIND IT TOO SCARY. OUR THRILLER FILM ALSO WOULDN’T TYPICALLY bE AIMED AT
the female gender, but at the male gender. This is because females
AREN’T TYPICALLY INTO MIND PLAYING JUMPY FILMS, bUT INTO THE
stereotypical chick flick films. However males are typically into the
conventions of a thriller such as the dark mystery, the jumps and
scares and the mind twisting plots that are in the film. Another type of
target audience that needs to be in consideration would be what class
this type of genre would appeal to. Typically this genre would no

AUDIENCE?
• This type of genre is normally aimed at elderly teens such as 16 and
above of whom would tend to watch this as a diversion. This is because

Meaning they my no understand hat they are watching also would find it
too scary.
Our THRILLER FILM ALSO WOULDN’T TYPICALLY bE AIMED AT THE FEMALE
GENDER, bUT AT THE MALE GENDER. THIS IS bECAUSE FEMALES AREN’T
typically into mind playing jumpy films, but into the stereotypical chick
flick films. However males are typically into the conventions of a
thriller such as the dark mystery, the jumps and scares and the mind
twisting plots that are in the film. Another type of target audience

6) WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM
THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT?
• The technologies we used were helpful in our media as it was the high
quality camera of Toms that we used, which he knew how to use well and
was familiar with which meant no faffing with a camera that none of us
know how to use. With the planning, we used story board sheets which we
had to scan into the computer to add onto our blogs. The sounds we used,
some were natural but also some we had found on the internet, and had
to make sure that they were not copy rights. With the editing we used
THE APPLE MACS, WHICH ON THEM WE USED THE PROGRAMME ‘IMOVIE’, WHICH WE
ORIGINALLY DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO USE EXCEPT FOR TOM, bUT WE ALL ObSERVED
and helped with the editing, and with what we observed Emily did some
editing herself and helped a lot with that. With blogging what we had
done and how we did it, who did it and why or when we were doing things,
we used Blogger.com. Which was really helpful and it gets us to put
down everything we did and who did it and when, why, how. It also helped
with planning when to film and organisation of it all.

6) WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT
TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PROCESS OF
CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT?
CONTINUED…
• PERSONALLY I’VE NEVER USED IMOVIE bEFORE OR bLOGGER, bUT NOW AFTER
using it for a while, I have and I'm sure others also now have a good
understanding of it all and how it works . The technologies we used at
EACH STAGE WERE HELPFUL ESPECIALLY WITH bLOGS AS THEN, AS I’VE
MENTIONED, WE KNEW WHAT WE’D DONE, WHAT WE HAD TO DO AND HAVING THE
filming dates on there was helpful so then we could easily remind
ourselves of when and the location of the filming. With the technologies
WE’VE USED, WE’VE LEARNED THAT THERE IS A LOT TO DO AND HAS TO bE DONE IN
stages and has to have time, preparation and planning, as it cannot be
done all so quickly and all at once.

7. LOOKING BACK AT YOUR PRELIMINARY TASK, WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU
HAVE LEARNT IN THE PROGRESSION FROM IT TO THE FULL PRODUCT?
• bEFORE WE DID THE PRELIMINARY TASK WE DIDN’T
really realise the process of the film industry.
The Production (Pre-production, production and
Post-production), Distribution, Exhibition and all
the steps that have to be taken in each one.
PRE-PRODUCTION: The planning of the filming
including writing, casting, sorting out locations
and clearing any legal problems.
PRODUCTION: The actual filming process.
POST-PRODUCTION: The editing process, including any
adding of special effects or CGI.

7. LOOKING BACK AT YOUR PRELIMINARY TASK,
WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE LEARNT IN THE
PROGRESSION FROM IT TO THE FULL PRODUCT?
CONTINUED…
DISTRIBUTION
• Deciding on release date
• Deciding how many prints to produce and in which cinemas to screen
them
• Advertising campaigns
• Designing art work for adverts, posters, flyers and billboards
• Organising premieres
• Booking talent (i.e. stars or director) for press interviews and
personal appearances
• NEGOTIATING DEALS REGARDING FILM’S DVD RELEASE AND TV SHOWINGS

CONTINUED…
EXHIBITION
• This is the process of showing a film to an audience, mainly referring
to the cinema environment, but also including other types of
screening i.e. the internet, on aeroplanes etc.
• The ways in which it is possible to view a film are sometimes referred
TO AS ‘WINDOWS OF EXHIbITION’.

CONTINUED…
• THE OPENING SEQUENCE, WE DIDN’T REALISE HOW MUCH EDITING IT ACTUALLY
TOOK, ESPECIALLY WITH THE CREDITS AS THEY DIDN’T LOOK PROFESSIONAL
when we did them the first couple of times, so we had to keep editing
a lot, and having to make sure that everything fitted well and
worked together fitting and that it looked good when the shots
changed, that it all fitted well and that the lighting of it could be
changed to fit the genre and the area it was filmed it, such as if it
WAS bRIGHT AND IT’S A DARK FILM, WE’D NEED TO EDIT THE LIGHTING ON THE
programme, and it is important to keep everything look
professional for the opening sequence as it is the start of the film
WHERE YOU’D FIRST GET EVERYONE GRIPPED ONTO THE FILM AND INTERESTED,
YOU DON’T WANT THEM TO GET bORED WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES. SO
MAKING SURE THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE IT DIDN’T
have the bored factor. With the technologies we used were helpful
in our media as it was the high quality camera of Toms that we used,
which he knew how to use well and was familiar with which meant no
faffing with a camera that none of us know how to use.

Apple Macs, which on them we used the programme ‘iMovie’, which we originally didn’t know
how to use except for Tom, but we all observed and helped with the editing, and with what we

done and how we did it, who did it and why or when we were doing things, we used
Blogger.com. Which was really helpful and it gets us to put down everything we did and who
did it and when, why, how. It also helped with planning when to film and organisation of it all.
Personally I’ve never used iMovie before or Blogger, but now after using it for a while, I have
and I'm sure others also now have a good understanding of it all and how it works .

• The technologies we used at each stage were helpful especially with
bLOGS AS THEN, AS I’VE MENTIONED, WE KNEW WHAT WE’D DONE, WHAT WE HAD TO
do and having the filming dates on there was helpful so then we could
easily remind ourselves of when and the location of the filming. With
THE TECHNOLOGIES WE’VE USED, WE’VE LEARNED THAT THERE IS A LOT TO DO AND
has to be done in stages and has to have time, preparation and planning,
AS IT CANNOT bE DONE ALL SO QUICKLY AND ALL AT ONCE. PERSONALLY, I’VE
never been good with group work, because I like to work more
independently, but with doing this, it has made the work better as there
is more input to what is being done, said and created. Working in a group
is good but can also be a bad thing as there is always one person in the
GROUP WHO DOESN’T DO THE WORK AS MUCH AS EVERYONE ELSE, WHICH WITH MOST
of the work if this happens it effects every bodies final grades on what
has been done and makes the others upset and fall out. Which is bad
bECAUSE THE GROUP WORK DOESN’T WORK WELL AND IT COULD FALL APART IF IT
DOESN’T GET SORTED. THE TIME MANAGEMENT HAS TO bE USED WELL AS OTHER
wise things will not get done.

CONTINUED…
The filming has to be planned really well, other wise things will
get rushed and all done last minute, which can make things
stressful and stress everyone out in the group. The timing or the
project has to be managed well so that it can all be done in
good enough time. The roles taken in this process of the film
making was a struggle as three of us and never used the
technologies that we had to use before so there was only one of
use n the group who could do it, and do it well. We each had a
different role in the filming, by sorting out the setting, the
actor(s), the timing of where to get it done to make sure the
weather would fit our filming needs and whether the setting
would be okay, the actual filming, the editing and the research
OF OUR LOGO AND TITLE, TO CHECK IF IT WAS OKAY AND WOULDN’T bE ANY
sort of copyright. All of this ahs developed well from our
preliminary task to our main task now, as we realised that what
we needed to do and the timing we had to do it in.

CONTINUED…
How have your skills in these areas developed since your
preliminary tasks?
IN OUR PRELIMINARY TASK, WE DIDN’T HAVE MUCH OF AN IDEA OF WHAT WE
were doing as it was our first time filming and the programme that
we used for our editing was the first time we used that too. In our
Preliminary Task compared to our Main Task we had things that
WEREN’T AS GOOD SUCH AS:
• There was no added sound or music
• Bad camera quality
• CUTS FROM AND TO EACH SHOT WEREN’T AS EFFICIENT AND CLEAN
• The setting is in school where as our new setting is outside of
SCHOOL SO WE’VE EXPLORED OUR FILMING AREA OPTIONS MORE IN OUR
Main Task
• The length of our Preliminary Task is only 30 seconds, where as
our Main Task is nearly 2 minutes
• We have better camera angles and shots in our Main Task one
compared to our Preliminary one, which shows that we have
learned more, as we have, in our Main Task, a creative
shot, where as in our Preliminary task, we just have basic shots
and angles.
• The actors in our preliminary where people from inside our
group where as in our Main Task, we got people from outside our

KNOWLEDGE CHANGE FROM PRELIM TASK
TO MAIN TASK ON BLOGGER.
We have had to use Blogger for both the Prelim task and our main task. We
have has to use it to show all our work from our planning to the making of
our opening sequence.

AT PRELIM…
At Prelim I knew very
little about how to use
Blogger.
This was the
only way the I
knew how to
post information
on to my blog.
I had no clue
what any of
this was or
what it did or
how to use it.

WHAT WE NOW KNOW… CLICK
ON THE FOLLOWING
HYPERLINKS.

I know that the only way to post things on my blog is not just to put posts all on one page however I can
separate my work to make it tidy by putting all into different pages. By doing this helped to keep my work
neat and tidy and made it easy for me to find, it also helped to make my work look good when going on
to my blogger.

G BLOGGER
Before starting my main task I knew nothing about these 3
different ways of making my blog more personal to me.
Knowing these 3 different edits also helped to make my blog
look more sophisticated.

WOULD YOU DO AND SEE THIS IN CINEMA?
YES, AS IT SEEMS TO HAVE A SLIGHT TWIST IN THE VERY START OF THE OPENENG SEQUENCE.
WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE OR ADD TO MAKE OUR PLAN BETTER?
I WOULD ADD IN SOME BACK GROUND MUSIC AS I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ISNT ANY IN THE PLAN. I
WOULD ALSO TRY AND ESCAPE FROM THE TYPICAL THRILLER IDEA HOWEVER IT DOES WORK.
