Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
By doing the preliminary task and then going on to do the main task I feel that the preliminary task has helped me a lot because it makes you have more understanding of what is needed for the main task. I feel that on the preliminary task we was not as organised and felt like we had run out of time to finish all of our blog work but learning from this I have organised myself more and managed my time more effectivley and this has helped me while doing the main task. The main task has a lot more elements to it and more work is needed to be done but I feel that this has made me more organized and got the work done.
I also feel that I had more knowledge about using the equipment such as the cameras and also using the edit suits I found that I knew a little more about how to work them and could get more involved than I was able to in the preliminary task. So overall I think that doing the preliminary task helped me alot more in my understanding in the main task.
I have also learnt how to present my work in a better way to make it more clear and look more presentable.
I also feel that my knowledge about different camera angles and shot sizes has got alot better because I can understand more about why we would do different takes of the same shot with different shot sizes because it helps us while we are editing and gives us more options in what we can include in our final sequence.
Overall, I feel that what I have most progressed on is my knowledge in different technical ways of going about producing the end product.

MAIN: Post 12.6: Question 6
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
This is a mood board of all of the different technologies that we have used throughout the filiming stages and they have all contributed in making the final opening sequence. Some of these pieces of euipment I havent used before such as the voice recorder but I have learnt how they are used and I am now quite confident in using them on my own.
The internet was a massive piece of technology that was used during this task because we had to do research and also update our blogs which were on an internet website. Overall the internet was the most used throughout this task and was very vital to finish our blogs and to show all of the work that we have done.
MAIN: Post 12.5: Question 5
How did you attract/ address your audience?
These two pictures above and to the right may attract our audience because they are showing that it is intense and that you are unsure on what is going to happen to the girl. 
In the opening sequence I feel that the music would attract the audience because it makes the whole senario seem more intense because you are a bit unsure on where the story will lead. The titles in our opening sequence may attract the audience because of the particular font and font size and colour we used and they would catch the audiences eye and this may attract them to watching the film. Also the use of different camera angles and shot sizes would do this because it makes the film look more jumpy by cutting from one shot to a title and then to another shot and this makes it look more intense and would therefore create more of an audience.
These are screen grabs of our opening sequence which may atrract the audience.

MAIN: Post 12.4: Question 4
Who would be the audience for your meida prodcut?
I think that our media product would be aimed at a sophisticated audience because more people that like detective/mystery films would go and watch a film genre like we created. I also think that our media product would atrract more males over females due to the fact that more men are more interested in storylines of an investigation. I also think that our product would appeal to the audience ages of 16+ because the idea of the storyline is serious and I feel that this age range would understand it more than if they were any younger. I also feel that the young audience would be attracted to this type of film is because the characters are young and the young audience would be able to relate to this.
I think the main audience for our film would be males around the age of 35 because they are more likely to be interested in films with this particular genre.
<-- I have included a picture of a policeman and a teacher because I think that this genre of our film would attract and also relate back to their occupation. They may find it interesting because this is the storyline of what could be around them in their jobs. I also think the age of these people is a key factor because they are around the ages of 30 and this is the age that I thought would be interested in this particular genre of film.
--> I have shown two pictures of males of different ages and the reason to why I have shown this is because I think that our opening sequence and film would appeal to males. I have shown a younger male due to the fact that it is set around the age of people that attend school and it is within their social group and I have shown an older male because I feel that this is the sort of age of a male that would like this particular genre of film.

MAIN: Post 12.3: Question 3
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
The production company is the company that is in charge or making the film and they then pass it on to another company that would then go on to distribute the film. What I mean by distribute the film is that the company will buy the film off the producers and they will then distribute (market) it they will advertise the film and will have to find ways to make the film be known by the audience.
The company that I would want to distribute my film is Revolution Studios. Revolution Studios is an American film company and was founded in 2000 by a former chairman of Walt Disney Studios. The reason why I would want them to distribute my film is because they are in corporate synergy with other big film companies such as 20th Centry Fox and Sony Pictures and more. They have produced many films such as White Chicks, Daddy Day Care, 13 Going On 30 and the new Peter Pan. I feel that this company has alot of knowldge about making their films big and very successful and I feel that they could distribute our film in the same way.

MAIN: Post 12.2: Question 2
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
The media product that we have produced represents our characters in a particular social group and this social group is teenagers that go to school and this is represented by people of a young age outside a school and in groups. These characters are not of the age of having their own jobs so therefore they would be living at home with thier families, so they are at the social class of what their families are depending on their parent's jobs.
This image is showing the school gates and students walking out. This would appeal to the younger age group because they may feel like they can relate to these people and would be interested in what will happen.
The mise-en-scene of this opening sequence would also appeal to the younger audience because the characters are in school uniforms. They are not dressed as smart as they should be but this shows a typical student of this age.
This image of a man following the girl will bring the older audience of males to be interested because they would feel a sense of mystery happening.
Also the location may contribute because there is alot of trees and bushes around and this may be seen as a woods area.

MAIN: Post 12.1: Question 1
In what ways does your media product product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
I was unable to upload our final opening sequence onto my blog so I have put a link to below to click on and it will show our opening sequence.
http://www.youtube.com/user/MrsShipp100#p/u/39/mZKSK9mFFrQ
Task 1.1-
Directors Commentry on 'Suspect'
The storyline of the film is a police investigation of a girl going missing after school. We placed the stalker in front of the camera while following the girl out of the school and this created the genres that we were trying to create which was mystery/ crime/ drama. By putting the man in front of the camera gives a sense of all three of these genres. The storyline is simple by the way we have done it so it is easy to understand, we have also made it more clear about what is going on by putting a voice over of a police report about what has happened and that the fottage being shown was sent into the police station and then leads on to the rest of the film about a detective case of trying to find the girl that has gone missing.
The narrative enigma is not answered in the opening sequence about whether the girl is going to be found so for it to be answered they must watch the whole film to find out. As the film goes on it is a detective case to try and find the person who has taken the girl and as it tells us in the voice over the kidnapper is believed to have been involved in other crimes and is a threat. The storyline of this will unfold as the film goes on. So therefore, the opening sequence we have created and the feeling it gives off will make the audience carry on watching the rest of the film.
The camera angles and sizes that we have used are effective in the way the it gives of different feelings for the rest of the film. We have also placed titles in places where it goes from one shot to another. We found that watching someone walking and a camera following them for too long looses the audiences attenetion so we placed titles in certain places and we jumped to different parts so it would keep the attention from the audience. By doing this we saved alot of time on the opening sequence to add more titles and it does not allow the audience to get bored and loose interest too soon.
We have a non-diagetic light tempo soundtrack playing the whole way through the opening sequence and this is creating a mood where the audience is being drawn in to what is happening on the screen and creates the intensity of the sitiuation. There is also a voice over which is layered over the other soundtrack which we have used and this is building up more of an atmosphere.
The titles that we have added in our opening sequence all have a purpose to where they are placed in the sequence and for how long they last. We have placed them in parts where we want to go from different shot sizes, e.g at the beginning of the sequence it shows a long shot, then goes to a title and then it goes to a medium shot and this is a good way of going to different shot sizes and angles so we do not have to use jump cuts. The titles fade in and fade out and the font is not very big but is the right font to catch the audiences attention.
The mise-en-scene of the characters is a school uniform with a maroon blazer and black skirt, they are also holding school bags and this is creating the idea of them being school girls without having to question it, so the characters purpose is stated through their costumes.

I found this image from the website http://www.artofthetitle.com/ and this is an image board from the film 'Se7en' and they are screen shots taken from the opening sequence of this film. I have looked at this because the genre of the film is a mystery thriller and our genre had a part of mystery in it and I looked to see what kind of screen shots they used to show their opening sequence. This helped me make my image board with screen shots from our opening sequence and below is the one that I have made...
This is a table of nine screen shots that I have collected from our opening sequence 'Suspect'. I have chosen these pasific screen shots because I think that they give you an idea of what happens in the opening sequence and what the story line for the rest of the film will be about. I have shown two images of different titles, the first is showing the title of the film which is 'Suspect' and the second one is showing the company of the production of the film. I have then shown the other images because I feel that it makes it look intense about what the film is about and if someone has not seen the clip then these images would make people want to know more about it and would have more public interest about the film. Also some of the images such as the fourth and the sixth images have dark lighting and this is showing the mood that is being portrayed.
MAIN: Post 12a: Evaluation- Audience Feedback
To get feedback on our opening sequence we showed four people that are the age of our target audience and we asked them a series of questions on their thoughts of our opening sequence and we recorded their feedback. Any criticisms they had on our opening sequence we took into account and made any possible and necessary changes to our sequence in the time we had left. We found that by doing a viedo recording of their feedback was a good way in helpin us as a group develop our opening sequence and helps gives us some other ideas which would help it appeal to the target audience.
I was unable to upload the video of our feedback to my blog so I have put a link below which whill take you to our feedback.

MAIN: Post 10: Post-production
The first stages of editing that we had to do was to capture all of the filming that we had done. We then created a table on microsoft ord and this was called our logging rashes and we had to give exact timings of our filming and say if we are going to use this piece in our final opening sequence or if we are not going to use it. This stage took us about 1 hour and the reason why this is useful because it saves us time while editing and we know exactly what parts we want to use and it makes the editing stage more organized and saves us time. During editing we had to make many decisions within the group such as what parts of the film we wanted in the final thing and the shot sizes of this and what works best with each other. We also had to put titles in different parts of the sequence and we had to decide on what fonts and font sizes would work best and also how long each one was on the screen for and if it worked in that particular part of the sequence.
MAIN: Post 9: Production
Production Report
During the filming part of our task we had to work together as a group to come out with good results. We had to plan out when we were all free to film so that we all could work together. We set a time and location for the three of us to set up and film our sequence. When we has set up all of our equipment we had to think about what was the best place to postion the camera due to the lighting and the suitability of the surroundsing whilst filming. We also had to decied on what shot sizes we would use and we had to think about doing a couple of different shot sizes of the same scene because during the editing stages it would give us more of an option to what shot we wanted to use in the final sequence. We had to work together if we thought that something that we was going to do in our original idea did not work out to plan so we had to come together and think of different ideas that we could do instead of this original idea, and example of this was when we had the idea of kidnapper having his own footage of the two school girls and having it from his perspective and we realised that this was not working out as well as we planned because it would confuse the audience when the film carrys on to be in the thrid person not the first person. Due to the fact that we had already filmed our whole sequence in the first person we realised that our footage was not good enough because our camera was not stable and the distance from where it was filmed and it was zoomed in when there was movement there was a shadow of the movement and we all decided that it was not of a good enough quality and come to the conclusion that we would have to re-film the whole sequence again. We made ourselves more organized and changed parts of our origninal idea to make it better. We got more people involved to help us out and be in the background to create the school scene. We did a lot more different shot sizes and this would help us during the editing stages. We found that the second time filming was more successful than the first time and we ended up with better results.

MAIN: Post 7:Focus Group
We set up a focus group of two boys and two girls, they are around the same age as us but they each have different interests in films. We sat them down together and explained in detail our idea for out opening sequence, we then gave them time to think about it and what they thought and we then asked them a series of questions while filming them. We asked them questions such as 'what genre of film do you think this is?' and the main answers were mystery, drama and thriller. We also asked questions such as 'what are your first impressions of the film from what we have told you?' and by us asking these questions has given us and idea to whether we think we need to change our idea for the opening sequence and how to improve. This is a key piece of research into whether our idea is good because it tells us if this opening sequence will make people want to watch the rest of the film which is what an opening sequence is meant to do. This is our video from the focus group..
MAIN: Post 8: Pre Production Documentation
Synopsis of opening sequence
There is footage from a handheld camera that follows two school girls out of the school gates and follows them. It cuts from different footage of the girls. The girls say goodbye to each other just outside of the school and it carrys on to follow one of the girls down the road, it shows the girl walking down the road and the camera is behind bushes and while the footage is showing there is a news report voice over the top and informing what has happened saying that a school has been kidnapped.
Synopsis of whole film
Our film based around the concept of an investigation following a man who's known to a series of kidnappings that have hit the news recently. The plot will cover a group of investigators trying to discover the criminal through numerous traces of evidence and forensics. With the film being introduced in the opening sequence with personal footage from the kidnapper, discovered by police, they are trying to track down the kidnapper- name known, through the use of numerous investigations and sispect interviews. Bodies of young girls and teenagers are found throughout the film; however the murder still remains unsolved.
The Script
Voice Over:
On the 12th October, a teenage school girl went missing. At approximately 3:30pm, two 16 year old girls, both of which dressed in black school skirts and maroon blazers, were seen walking outside of Kings Langley School gates. The girls parted their seperate ways, and one of the girls has not been seen since. At this moment in time we are unsure of her whereabouts. With a strong lead from a local neighbour, we are under the impression that the suspect is a middle aged man of medium build and around 5 foot 11 in height. The man dressed in dark clothing was seen wondering around Love Lane- the road on which Kings Langley School is situated on, looking suspicious with a video camera in his hands. When confronted by the neighbour whose name we are guarding for security reasons, the white male with dark "scruffy" hair dismissed our witnesses, explaining he was a health and safety investigator who was observing the wellbeing of the school.
With a recent rise in the number of school girls going missing in the Hertfordshire areas, the police are urging any witnesses to step forward and share any information you may have. The growing concern over the number of girls being abducted is something that the community needs to be aware of. Bodies are being discovered weekly, within local woods, canals and back streets. Evidence suggests the murderer may have a mental condition, and health records show a patient from the surrounding area, matching the suspect's description. The mental patient also withholds previous convictions of which we cannot discuss for legal reasons, however let it be known to all that if you are under any suspicion or feel under threat, call your local police station as soon as possible. The kidnapper is out there, and although the murders may not be linked, it is important for him to be found before further peoples' lives are put to risk. This home footage was sent in to the Hertfordshire police station, showing the girl leaving school, matching her description.

Pre- production individual report
Throughout the pre-production stage we had to make final decisions about what we were going to do for our final opening sequence. We had a meeting with our teacher as a group and we discussed the ideas about our opening sequence. We was told that before we go any further we need to think about what was going to happen in the whole film and not just about the opening sequence. So we sat down as a group and mind mapped all of our ideas and put them together and talked about what would be a good idea and what wouldnt work within the opening sequence. We also looked at all of the things we needed to do such as find the location of where we would film and we created a location reccee and we had to do many other things such as mise-en-scene and the treatment etc. We split our work up into two and two of us did half of the things that was needed to be done in the pre-production stage and the other two of our group did the other half. We felt that this was the best way of doing it because it would be done quicker and we could work together. I think that this worked well because we got our work done quicker and it was better to work together.

Technical detail
· To start off the shooting we will have a long shot of both CHARLEY and LAUREN walking out of the school gates. The camera will be positioned on the opposite side of the road diagonally facing CHARLEY and LAUREN.
· The next shot will go back about 10yards and show CHARLEY and LAUREN furtherly walking towards the opposite side of the road. The camera will track their movement across the road and stop when they do.
· CHARLEY and LAUREN then split and go down different routes. The camera will follow LAUREN for a short amount of time establishing where she goes and then show CHARLEY heading off in another direction.
· The camera will then track CHARLEY from a distance following her movement. The camera will do this a couple of times getting closer with every shooting.
· As the camera reaches CHARLEY we will have a close up of her head turning round and screaming.
The location this will be shot in is outside the school gates we will take the footage when there are a decent amount of people walking out of the gates so it seems like it is the end of the school day. The lighting will all be natural due to the footage being taken outside. There will be no external lighting used. The camera movement will be handheld.
Storyboard
We all made a storyboard and we used it while we were filming but before we did this we did not scan the storyboard and did not have a spare copy of it. While we were filming we lost the original copy of the storyboard. One member of the group agreed that he would re-do the storyboard but he failed to do this. This is why we have not been able to include our storyboard.
