The document discusses a student's media project called "Love Triangle" which is a romantic film genre that represents today's youth. It engages audiences of teens interested in romantic drama through distribution on Warner Bros. and online platforms like Netflix. The student learned many new film production skills throughout the project, such as different camera shots, lighting, and editing techniques to make the film look more professional. A variety of software, hardware, and online tools were used for research, filming, editing, and sharing the project.

2. HOW DOES YOUR PRODUCT
USE OR CHALLENGE
CONVENTIONS AND HOW DOES
IT REPRESENT SOCIAL GROUP
OR ISSUES?The genre of my movie Love Triangle is
Romance. The conventions that are
usually used in a romantic movie, are
holding hands, laughing together and
looking at each other. The conventional
ideas are present in this product. Such as
a romantic date, holding hands and
laughing together.

3. My media product represents the youth of
today's society. It reflects the rising
‘boyfriend-girlfriend’ culture and increasing
importance of relationships in their life. My
inspiration for this video was the film
‘Casablanca’. My story is about a boy Paul
(Abdullah Shakoor) who leaves the country
and when he returns back, he decided to give
Ilsa (Komal Santosh) a surprise and goes to
her house but there he himself got surprised

4. When he sees her with some other boy
named, Joseph (Saif Feroze).

5. HOW DOES YOUR PRODUCT
ENGAGE WITH AUDIENCES AND
HOW WOULD IT BE
DISTRIBUTED AS A REAL MEDIA
TEXT?My media product is aimed at a niche
market of teens and mostly for those
who would be interested in tragic,
dramatic, romantic films. People would
want to watch my movie because its
romance. There are very few people in
this world, who don’t like romantic
movies. I believe, teenagers enjoy it the
most. After a lot of research on different
distributors, I landed on Warner Bros..

6. Warner Bros. have worked with all
sorts of genres for example, The dark
knight, The Conjuring, Happy feet.
They have done a lot of romantic films
too, like City of angels, New year’s eve,
etc.

7. My choice is Warner bros. and I think its
pretty clear as to why I chose it. I also
chose online distribution for my film, which
include mediums such as Netflix,
Facebook, Twitter etc, because the internet
has now become a great medium for the
viral marketing of a movie and it is most
famous amongst my target audience.

8. How did your production skills
develop throughout this project?
“ Strive for continuous improvement instead
of perfection”.

Looking back at my preliminary task and
comparing it with my final product I
realised that I have come a long way from
where I started I have learned so much in
such a very short span of time.

9. When I was assigned my prelim task I had
very little idea about camera shots and
angles. I realised that there are a lot of
things that go into making a movie look
the way it looks from camera angles to
lighting to editing than just good acting
skills or a good location.

10. After extensive research I was able to utilise
the necessary skills and tools to make my
final product look up to the mark as a
Hollywood movie would.
I progressed from mid shots and close ups
to point of view shots, rotating shots and
long shots.
The music I used in my final film gradually
builds up so it created a very dramatic look
as it would in a Hollywood film.

11. HOW DID YOU INTEGRATE
TECHNOLOGIES (SOFTWARE,
HARDWARE AND ONLINE) IN THIS
PROJECT?Without the enhancement of technology,
the making of my film would have not been
that east, I used varied type of software,
hardware and online websites.
As for online technology in this project, I
used different websites for my research for
different plots. I used YouTube for the
soundtrack. I used Google images for
pictures and GIFs.

12. I used Canon EOS 1100D to shoot my film. I
used tripod to achieve more stable and
balanced shots. I used Dell inspiron N5010 to
edit my film and did all my research through
it.

13. I used the software Windows Live Movie
Maker for editing. And I will be uploading
my video and evidence on the blog that I
have on Tumblr.
