Evaluation Question 1
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Evaluation Question 3
What kind of media insttitutional might distribute your media product and why?
Evaluation Question 5
How did you attract/ address your audience?
Our audience was attracted primarily through the story line of our film. Our film has been created to go against the typical conventions of an action movie and express women in a different light. We want to show women in a positive light and i feel all women and young girls who see the advertisement of this positive message will be more intrigued to watch it.
Another way in which being our main character. When trying to attract a specific audience you most importantly want to create a character in which you can relate to, therefore our character is dressed in clothes which could be easily identified by the young and older audience, for example her nike branded trainers.
On the lines of clothing she is also wearing a quite popular fashion statement, a bomber jacket, therefore when people see this clothing piece that she's wearing and know they also have one, they would feel they will be able to relate to the character a bit more.
Within our target audience we are hoping to attract those who live in an urban environment. Our film is based in North London, and has been filmed on backroads to express the urban environment even more.
In terms of our rough cut feedback, i feel it helped us decide on what we could add to our film as we were pitching to our chosen demographic. The people who gave us the feedback were those of our target audience therefore if they didn't understand something about our storyline or didn't feel they could relate to the main character, then those changes needed to be made for the success of our film.
After the premiere of our final title sequence, i asked members of the audience to give feedback on our film, if they liked it, what did they like? what stood out to them? and lastly any improvements they felt would be helpful in the future.

Evaluation Question 5
We collected feedback for both our rough cut and our target audience to not only make our films better but also to allow us to be able to appeal to our target audience better. This is important because if our film doesn't appeal to our target audience then we wont be able to make a profit from our film
Evaluation Question 6

This is a screenshot of the timeline and the part that is selected (green bar) is where I edited the sound for our title sequence
Below is a screenshot of the way that I would import a file to begin working on it in After Effects. I would go to File> Import> File and then select the file from either the desktop or hard drive.
Evaluation Question 7
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Christmas Homework SWOT Grid
Analysis of strengths and weaknesses in my blog
Strengths
I feel in my latest blogs i have created have began to be more detailed than they were before.
Weaknesses
I don't feel my blog posts are as long as they could be and i think i could add a lot more detail and effort into my blog posts.
Threats
I feel missing a lesson can set you behind from the others in the class as lesson time is where we receive most of our notes/ information that we later will include in our blogs, I missed one lesson and missed out on the notes for two different blog posts meaning i had to do my own research making doing the post a lot harder and more time consuming.
Opportunities
I should use more visual apps to develop my ideas and present them in a more creative and interesting way. In a few of my blogs i began to use images, videos and gifs that relate to that post, but i feel i should continue to do so and add at least one image to each post that i put up.

Evaluation of Rough Cut
I feel from the beginning of this project our overall idea and plan for our sequence was well thought out and i believe we expressed our ideas well through each shot. On the other hand, i feel our ideas of precise details were expressed much better through our pitch than our actual rough cut. For example we wanted the feminine identity to be hidden at the start, but small clues given through the way in which she carried herself, such as how she runs/moves as well as her image. We discussed that we wanted for her to have bold eye makeup so we could have a close up camera shot, but that didn't happen during filming time. When we re film i think this will be one of the things we will show.Another thing that i feel we did well was the order in which we filmed each of our shots, the order of a sequence is one of the most important parts as it allows people to actually understand the story line.We made sure that we kept her identity discrete and then done more of a reveal at the end showing that she was a female, through her long pony tail. An improvement for each of our shots would we be our camera work, we've picked quite hard shots to film such as running shots, we want to follow her as she runs but at the same time having a shaking camera shot doesn't look very good so we need to find another way that we can follow were she goes but make a shots more clear, focused and less shaky. This refers to all of our shots as i feel our camera wasnt as good as it could have been, making it better would make our sequence look so much better. I feel one of my weaknesses when using the cameras are with zoom, going from a normal shot to zooming into an object is something i find quite hard. And finally our last improvement i feel would be the sound, we need to create a backing track for our sequence as well as add our pre recorded sound effects.
