The media product follows a typical good guy vs bad guy concept shown through clothing and lighting. The title raises questions about who is the devil or defendant and the opening will provide answers. The protagonist Abdul wears smart attire showing authority, while the antagonist Tahir is in dark lighting appearing inferior. The media product would be best distributed by a mainstream label like Universal due to similar plots. Mainstream titles highlight actor names to target audiences. The suitable audience is ages 15+ due to possible violence and profanity. The opening does not reveal everything to engage the audience. Props for Abdul represent his ordinary life while little is shown about Tahir to keep him a mystery.

2. • Our media product is the typical good guy and bad guy concept, this is
shown through the clothes they wear and the lighting that we use.
TITLE
• The title that we used gives that really
eerie and mysterious atmosphere and
raises questions such as “Who’s the
devil?” or “Who’s the defendant?” and the
opening would answer just that.
• We also made the title black font over
white to white font over black, which
shows a switch in the roles and could be
interpreted as yin and yang.

3. CLOTHING
• Abdul (Adam White) wearing smart attire, such as shirt and tie, shows that
he’s the protagonist of the film, holding more authority than the antagonist.
LIGHTING
• Tahir (Michael Kramer)on the other hand, we put him in a dark place, lower
on the ground presenting his inferiority.
He’s seen doing
sit-ups to appear
more masculine.

4. • In the beginning, we thought it would be best if our media product is
distributed in a Mainstream label such as Universal.
• As to why, it’s because mainstream thriller films have similar plots and plot
twists.

5. • Another reason why is because of our titling sequence. Mainstream title
sequences would usually place the actor/actress’ name(s) at the centre
highlighting their importance and to target the audience.

I assume that the audience that would be suitable to watch the film would be
in the years 15+ because it will contain violence and possible profanity which
would be unsuitable for younger ages.
I also think that it would attract those who have a strong interest in plot
twists, crime, detective and psychological films – which our film seems to
have.

8. As stated on the bottom line, we tried not to give away everything in the
opening sequence as it defeats the purpose of what the audience wants
making it unappealing, we ompleted this by:
PROPS
• The props we used represented
Adam well, through him having a
picture frame of his 2 daughters.
Illustrates that he has a ordinary life
and the responsibilities he carries.
• For Michael, we made sure that he
remains a mystery to the
audience, so we tried to make every
little information unidentifiable
allowing the audience to ponder on
what he would be like.

9. • Handling the technology to produce our media product was very difficult.
What I found the hardest had to be After Effects.
I found it confusing and rendering
had to be the worst, but in the
end, I was glad I managed to
complete what I had to do.
• A main factor is that without camera
recorders, our media product wouldn’t
have existed. So technology development
made it a lot easier and advanced from the
past where Linear Editing was used
instead of iMovie.

10. • Personally I think that making the titles were my biggest accomplishment in
the editing of the film.
• After effects was really hard to do, yet I tried to make it link to our thriller in a
way, this is due to the titles horizontally blurring, being clear and then fading
out.
Due to the title sequence having a black background with a
white font, it’s commonly found in mainstream openings.
