1. What have you learnt from your preliminary task?
The main things I learnt from my preliminary task was how to use the camera, the reason why we should wait five seconds before and after every shot (to make editing easier) and how to film an effective match-on-action shot.
2. What have you learnt about the technologies from the process of constructing this product?
Most of technology involved within the entire process of the construction of this product is in the editing. We used a program called "Adobe Premiere" which was nearly entirely based on technology. I learnt to do many things on that program, for example, to cut out small clips that were not needed in the thriller, to move other clips that needed to be moved, to add different special effects like dip to black or cross dissolve. During the process of editing I also decided to eperiment with CGI (computer generated images) just for fun, so I also learned how to upload some of those.

3.How did you attract your audience?
We attracted our audience through advertisments. We printed around fifty leaflets and displayed them all over the sixth form block of our school. We used a good picture that would catch the eye of anyone who walked passed it since it was bright red. A copy of this poster is shown below:
4. How does your media product represent a particular social group?
In a way, our media product represents teenagers. This is also evident since the age group that answered the quesitionnaire were all 15-19 years of age, even though there were oportunities for people of other age groups to fill it out. The victim in our thriller was a teenager, and the antagonist is a middle aged man. Even though this case is extreme as it involves murder, it can also reflect the problems and arguments that teenagers can have nowerdays with their parents.
5. What movie production company(ies) would be a suitable company to use for your media product?
I believe that Film Four would be a suitable comany to use for our media product because they have had a long history in the movie trade and have also had a lot of experience with thriller movies.
