'Who would be the audience for you media product?'

My main target audience for this film is people who love films were they have to piece bits of it together to understand it, the people who like to talk about the film after they come out of the cinema and are still trying to figure out what just happened. The gender is not important, as long as they are interested in the creepy eerie side of films, or people who want to see their first psychological horror movie would be interested in this.

People who want to go see this film would usually go with a group of friends or with their boyfriend/girlfriend this is because people dont tend to go watch horror movies on their on compared to things like superhero films.

'In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?'


My audience for this film would be people who are interested in the psychological/horror genre and also people who are curious as to what the genre holds. Some of my inspiration for this project are the films: Gothika, the butterfly effect and the intro of se7en. The reason for Gothika inspired me was because of the storyline, it has such an in depth creepy storyline which keeps the viewer watching until the end. The butterfly effect made me realise you can start a film off with the ending just like 'American Beauty' and 'Sunset Boulevard'. Using this technique changes the whole way the audience watches the film because as the films goes on they try and piece together how the ending is going to come about. Then onto the masterpiece that is the intro to 'se7en' it has some of the most creative editing techniques used to create such an eerie feel from the very start.

arghhhhh

Had my project finished since tuesday but because of the size of the file and my terrible internet it, it is almost impossible to get it to upload to my blog, i left it over night on wednesday to see if it would upload, but when i checked in the morning there was just a massive error warning on my screen, brilliant.

i'll talk to my teachers today to see what i can do about the problem.

last minute rush

i left all my editing to the last few days, highly regretting it now, spent the whole of yesterday working like a trooper to try and get this finished, the story of my intro changed as i edited it but i think its made it better than my original idea.

throughout this coursework i have had so many different ideas and kept changing wht i was doing, thats why it has taken me so long to get t the point am at.

yesterday i spent almost two hours trying to get a heartbeat sound(sounds easy right?) well with all the firewalls at school it was almost impossible to download anything or download a converter only to find out drama studies have loads of CDs with almost every sound effect you could want on them, typical. At the moment i'm just trying to finish it off by adding all the little extras into it.
