on the 5th april everyone who takes part in media had to go down to the cinema near our college and watch ALL the thriller openings that have been produced by us students. When i was watching our one on the big screen i felt really proud of it as i felt it was film acurately. Also having it up on a big screen made me get a feel of what it would be like if it was a whole film.
After we had finished watching everyones film, i went around asking people what they thought about our film overall; the neggative and positive. I asked people who i didnt really know as i know if i asked a friend they would only tell me what i want to hear. therefore i asked for feed back from random people.
Rosetta hudson: "the film was funny innvotative & creative"
Prince kongo: "i really enjoyed the thriller because they had a range of shots although they were mainly close ups i felt that it emphasised on the suspense more so than if it was long shot, overall i though it was very entertaining and i wanted to watch more"

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? How will you attract/address your audience?
Above is another media students work. I found their work on YouTube, where they hand received over 20,000 views, since they uploaded it in 2009. This shows how even low budget student films can be seen by thousands due to moden technology, such as YouTube and social networks.
We have taken full advantage of this and also used loads of different places for our thriller. Including:
Blogger:
YouTube:
Vimeo:
Facebook:
Our thriller is a low budget, independent film that was relised on sites i mentioned. It will get a cinematic screening and shared screening amongst our peers, and family. It will also get a DVD release of 200 copies.
Who would be the audience for your media product
Geoffrey, 29, aspirers to work in marketing, currently works at Apple, loves going to the cinema, shops at Abercombie & Fitch.
How does your media product represent particular social groups
We very much based the look of 'Ruby' to Uma Thruman in Pulp fiction. Short black hair with fringe. Red lipstick. White shirt. Black pencil skirt.
'Women 2' the other character who's not in it for long was based on the look of the main character of The Girlfriend experience. Black dress. Black shades. Hair up. And the red lipstick again.
question 4 and 5
In the blue star is where our advertisement would show for our thriller. We would do this because we know that especially youtube people are more likely to be interested. as we know that youtube is a well know website thats known for access to film clips we felt that this could possibly help us get an audience wanting to watch our film.
As it was difficult for me to find and reasearch student film i decided to base it on "looking for eric"
Looking for eric is a british about the escape from the trials of modern life that footbal and its heroes can bring for its fans. It was directed by Ken loach, written by paul lavery, and stars the footballer himself Eric Cantona.
cinema City is an independent british cinema which was established in 1980 by actors Raymond wong, karl maka and Dean shek. i feel that my media product should be shown here because as it is not a big hollywood film and it needs to start off in a small location before it can explode world wide.
i feel that because it is a student film which is aimed at people who are 16+ i feel that the internet is a good way to advertise some our product. this is because a lot of young people tend to spend their time on the internet looking up new things i feel that especially social networks such as; Facebook, myspace, twitter, Skype. these networks are things that i will be advertising my film on.
question 3
below is my montage of who i think my media product is for. i feel that our film is aimed at both male and female. below are images to present the type of people i feel would watch our thriller.
