Our group created a thriller film opening as our media product. We aimed the film at a 16+ audience as some scenes could disturb younger viewers. To attract our target audience, we created posters showing key elements of the film that were displayed widely. Through the process, we learned how to use video and audio equipment like cameras, microphones, and tripods. We also gained experience using editing software like iMovie and GarageBand to assemble the film and add effects/music. Each member took on new roles from our preliminary task, and all felt they improved their media skills and confidence in areas like acting, filming, and using technology.Evaluation 3 2

- 1. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts? By Hassan Khan
- 2. Intended outcome of production The intention of our production was to entertain the audience using our trailer to gain the audiences interest. By interesting the audience they will be more likely to go and see it.
- 3. Todorov Tzvetan Todorovs theory states that in every media story text there is first an equilibrium, then a disruption to this equilibrium and finally a resolution. In our production we applied the first two parts of this theory creating a storyline with the absence of a resolution creating suspense for the viewers so they will be more likely to watch the film at the cinema.
- 4. Vladimir Propp Vladimir Propps theory that there are many different character types which appear in media texts is adhered to in our trailer as it contains a hero, a princess and a villain which all plots in trailers generally contain. The hero is identified through him being in danger when he throws himself out of the car so we empathize with him as our main protagonist. The villain is identified through the dark colours when he is on screen and when he ties up the princesss hands. The princess is identified through her being shown as being helpless when she is being tied up by the villain.
- 5. Ancillary tasks Our ancillary tasks included making a poster and a website to accompany our trailer. They had to be made in a similar way in order to portray that this is all part of the same production.
- 6. Storyboard We wrote out our storyboard attempting to incorporate a wide range of shots. Our storyboard was planned out before the shoot and therefore we were forced to make alterations to it as we didnt have time to complete all the shots we wanted due to the restricted time we had because the group was rarely free to film at the same time.
- 7. Website and poster We attempted to give our website and poster a similar theme with it being dark connoting mystery and action. The theme was generally of dark colours in the background with a serious, white, san-serif font on top to connote the seriousness that the film is intended to give off.
- 8. Mise-en-scene We achieved our outcome by using chiaroscuro lighting in our mise-en-scene to connote the dark, mysterious feeling we wanted to give to our film.
- 9. Page layout The page layout of our website is dark to emphasize this mysterious/thriller feeling that we wanted our film to have
- 10. Camera-shot choices The choice of shot when we walked behind Adam filming him was chosen to demonstrate mysteriousness as we were unable to see his face which would lead the audience to question why we couldnt see his face. Other shots were fast-paced close-ups to show the thriller elements of our film.
