Rachael Walters evaluates her horror comedy media product. She discusses how it uses conventions of the genre like slow camera movements and close-ups for horror scenes and funny characters for comedy scenes. She believes Rogue Pictures would be a good fit to distribute it because they have successfully released similar hybrid films in the past. The target audience is young adults due to horror and comedy elements. Rachael attracts this audience through an introductory voiceover and appropriate use of music. Through making this product, she has learned about effective camera techniques and how to smoothly connect scenes to tell a clear story without confusing viewers.

4. Question 4 – Who would be the audience for your media product? The audience I am targeting for my media product are young adults to adults because of the horror context which is not suitable for young children and young teenagers. Young adults though are suitable for the blood and small amounts of swearing scenes as well as enjoying some comedy. Question 5 – How did you attract/address your audience? I have attracted my audience by beginning with a voice over which tells the audience part of the story and to get the audience to listen and get involved in the film. To keep their attention I added music and other voices where needed so they do not lose interest with just the voice over and silence.

5. Question 6 – What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? Question 7 - Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? I have learnt many media techniques while in the process of my media product and also finishing the work. I understand more easily which camera movements are best used for certain actions and when to change to another angle or camera movement. Learned new camera movements and angles and how they are different from other camera movement and angles. Lastly I have learned how hard it can be to connect scenes together without confusing the audience but also how easy it can be to connect some scenes with others to make sense.
