I have done this question by taking still images of the different type of technologies that I used. I then put them into a video where I spoke over the top explaining what I used them for. I have actually uploaded this video from something called Drop Box as this allows me to either stream it online or download it and upload to my blog. I have uploaded both as it provides a choice and shows the different types of technology used.
The stream link is below.

Twentieth Century Fox are a film producing company who have produced thousands of award winning films such as Alien (1979) and Black Swan (2011). I believe Twentieth Century Fox would distribute our film because despite it being a British film it can offer a wide opinion on horror and will be a popular choice for the student audience making it a big hit. It will offer different feeling that can make the audience feel uneasy or anxious.

Hello :)
Hello :). I would like to say how great it was making this blog. It was a lot of fun and I learnt new skills as well as improving my old ones. I really hope you enjoy reading it.
Just some small instructions. :)
- The posts that are quite early on are to do with the preliminary task.
- Towards the middle of the year I have wrote a lot of random posts or quick brain waves, however I have also got some important posts like the health and safety and shotlists.
- For my evaluation I have tried to use many different ways of showing technology. Altogether I have .... 2 prezis, 1 power point, 1 directors commentary, 1 post with screenshots and 1 straight essay.
- Questions 4&5 are presented as one post as they are very similar.
- The prezis and the videos are embedded correctly however they may take a little time for them to load up and work.
- Early on within the blog the changeling link is not embedded correctly as the website wont allow me to do this however if you highlight and right hand click then press copy and go it will take you straight to the website where you have to scroll down to the third video called the changeling. Sorry for any inconvenience. Anyway this is my very last post and I hope you enjoy reading my blog as its been a very fun yet organised task.
Have a good day :D

6) What have you learn't about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I have done this question by taking still images of the different type of technologies that I used. I then put them into a video where I spoke over the top explaining what I used them for. I have actually uploaded this video from something called Drop Box as this allows me to either stream it online or download it and upload to my blog. I have uploaded both as it provides a choice and shows the different types of technology used.

4&5) Who would be the audience of your media product and how did you attract them?
When making our title sequence we had to make sure we were always thinking of our target audience. To the right is a picture of a handwritten list of Psychographics and I scanned this into the computer which I then edited over the top to allow you to see which sections apply to our title sequence. The written part in blue is the bit I wrote in Paint as it then makes it easier to read and understand.
After making the list I then posted my video onto a group which I made on the social networking site -Facebook. With in this group I added lots of people that were in my target audience. I then wrote questions that I wanted them to answer. I got a lot of positive answers and some also that really helped with understanding different views.
Below I have included the screen shots of the comments that my target audience posted. As your'll read from the comments most of the people enjoyed the video but mainly enjoyed the last shot of the phone ringing as this was scary and created a lot of mystery. A few people commented on the titles themselves and thought the writing at times was hard to read. Everybody however did say they like the music as it provides a lot of tension and matches the theme of horror very well.
As you can see from the comments most people really enjoyed it as it created a lot of tension and made them want to see what happens next which is what we wanted to achieve. I was very surprised to see that most people thought it was more thriller than horror but I think they are very similar. A lot of people said that wanted more to happen in the title sequence but at the start we said that we didn't want to much to be shown as it creates an enigma code. We though if we showed to much with the titles then they perhaps wouldn't want to see the rest of the film. If I had time to edit my title sequence one last time I would take these comments into account and try and match what they want as it will allow our title sequence to be loved in many ways by all.
Overall I have had some positive feedback that's really effective for my target audience of 15-19 years both male and female.

3) What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Our production company ‘pear tree productions’ is a low budget horror that targets the student audience aged 15+ who are interested in horror. Our particular horror film is a British film as this gives it a homely feel.
Because we have created a low budget film it would be played in the small independent cinemas that target our audience directly.
The best way to show a low budgeted film would for it to be played via the Internet. Here it could be advertised on many social networking sites like Myspace, twitter and Facebook where all the students are joined together. I believe this would be the perfect way to target our audience. It could also be watched at local small cinemas or at exhibitions in the local halls. We would like to think our low budget film could be also watched at the film festival where many new films that don’t have big distributors could be watched by all, allowing us to get the biggest target audience as possible. Here is the web address for the Edinburgh film festival.
Even though ours is a student film, if it was made into a real film we would like help from the ‘majors’ as they will allow our film to be successful and shown in many high end cinemas. We believe the best way to connect to our target audience is through the internet however doing this increases the change of illegal downloading, which we do not want to happen, so with help from a ‘major’ it will allow our film to be distributed legally rather than having to deal with it being distributed by many sites illegally. Our film would be played in many of the towns and cities. Targeting the cities more as that’s stereotypically where the students lie. However we would like to see if we could grab a money deal because even though we do want to make a profit we want the students to see it at a reasonable price and not think they are overpaying. However I understand that the price may not be able to be changed, as it’s the cinema making the money.
Twentieth Century Fox, (a well known distributor and production company); this company is our first choice of a major distributor as they have done thousands of horror films that fit our theme. We want a well-known distributor as they offer their own brand name to our potential film and can already offer us a high amount of screenings just by the film history. They have done films such as black swan (2011), Jennifer’s body (2009) and Alien (1979) of all have become big hits in the horror industry targeting the student age group (the same as ours). Here’s the website that shows you all of the films they have ever done. Once clicked on the link it provides you with the total score the film has gotten.
Twentieth Century Fox are a film producing company who have produced thousands of award winning films such as Alien (1979) and Black Swan (2011). I believe Twentieth Century Fox would distribute our film because despite it being a British film it can offer a wide opinion on horror and will be a popular choice for the student audience making it a big hit. It will offer different feeling that can make the audience feel uneasy or anxious.
