1. How we edited our piece to make it look like a thriller?
We edited our piece by looking at other thrillers to get an idea of how it would flow. We decide to make it slow moving as this creates tension. Most thrillers build lots of tension up to leave the view in suspense. We used final cut pro to do this. We used extreme close ups to make it more of a thriller as it leaves you thinking and gives you a rush.
2. How we used sound in editing process top attract an audience?
We used dark sounds and drowns mixed with high pitched sounds to create a scary ambience. The sound track appeals to our target audience as this is something that gothic people will like.
3. How we created a mood/ style for our process?
We created an intense mood by doing extreme close up. This attracted our target audience. The style we went for was a slow movie and this crated a concentrated mood.
4. How we used titles and graphics?
I used titles to break up the footage we took this leaves the target audience on suspense as it goes to the next section of footage.
5. How our thriller would attract an audience?
Our thriller would attract an audience because it is so intense and there is a lot of tension which is built up over the opening trailer as it doesn’t show the face of our actor which leaves the audience in suspense as they are interested in seeing what the actor looks like

Task 1: in what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
We used a clock to open our thriller which shows the second hand ticking. this builds up tension and increases the heart rate.
followed after this shot was a title. we decided to keep the same structure of titles to make it professional and smartens the imiage up.
After the title we chose to use short sharp and close up shots. This was done to create tension because it was very intense.
After watching our our set movie which was the Dark Knight we chose to use a bit of the sequence. We chose to do this because when watching it. It was full of tenstion with the tack slowly toward to bomber then the teddy bear dropping in his hand out of the bag.

Then we moved to a close up of the actors face which brings it back to the close and intense feel. This brings back the tension.
This is our last shot then we decided to put our title at the end to give a big impact on the viewers.
Task 2: how does your product represent particular social groups ?
• How does your product represent particular social groups?
Our products main social group is terrorism. The way it is represented is by a suicide bomber which builds his bomb in a flat is most of our trailer footage is on this, but he then intends on going to a high street and releases the bomb. And this is sort of represented in the film vantage point. The President of the United States is in Salamanca, Spain, about to address the city in a public square. We see a plain-clothes cop, his girlfriend with another man, a mother and child, an American tourist with a video camera, and a Secret Service agent newly returned from medical leave. Shots ring out and the President falls; a few minutes later, we hear a distant explosion, then a bomb goes off in the square. Those minutes are retold, several times, emphasizing different characters' actions. This relates to our film as it is to do with a killing in a large area. In vantage point this was shot in a large square where the president was addressing the Spanish crowds. In our film the killings is in a high street where there was a lot of people around to get the maximum effect. Vantage point was aimed at the same target market that we are aiming at for example Action Crime Drama Thriller.
Another movie is Der Baader Meinhof Komplex the plot of this movie takes a look at Germany's terrorist group, The Red Army Faction , which organized bombings, robberies, kidnappings and assassinations in the late 1960s and '70s. This relates to our movie by the use of terrorists because it is about bombings, kidnappings and assassinations, this links with our film by bombing and assassinations because using a bomb is a form of assassinations it also has chosen the none stereotypical vision of a terrorist someone who isn’t from a muslim or Islamic background.
We used a teddy bear this showed an image of soft , cute and not harmful but by putting a bomb in it this changed the image completely it comes across as a secret killer by doing this it changes the whole perception of the teddy bear.
• Look at how Social groups are represented in media products and compare these to your own film – how do they differ?
We chose something completely different to the normal stereotypical image such as a Muslim or someone from eastern Asian back grounds. In the news you wouldn’t expect a Spanish origin man be a suicide bomber you would more like suspect a Muslim or someone from a Islamic background. Hear is a stereotypical image of a bomber taken from the BBC website. This is a picture of one of the London bombers who has been jailed. When we chose our bomber we didn’t want to fall under this stereotypical bracket so we changed our bomber to someone who doesn’t look like they are from and eastern Asian backgrounds. For the recent attacks on London the news said it was buried in Pakistan is an auto assumption that they planned it in Pakistan. This is why using a non stereotypical person breaks the mold. When I was looking at other types if media I looked at the film team America this shows a clip of footage what they thing a terrorist looks like they stereotypical image is that they have a big bushy beard and buck teeth and have spooky eyes this is shown to be a intimidating look towards to audience. But going back to our bomber he looks completely different this appeals to a larger target audience which will be good to produce the movie on a large scale.

Task 3: what kind of media institution might distrubte your media product and why ?
I would use warp productions as' the reason why I would use them is because it is a small company and it isn’t a Hollywood style of movie it would be for a small captive audience this is why I chose Twickenham film studios. The movie doesn’t have many a list cast members because it is not out to capture everyone’s attention this is more of an exclusive movie and small studios know hoe to capture curtain targeted audiences. Warp productions have produced some good movies such as THis Is England and Donkey Punch this is another reason why I wanted to use them because it shows that they where successful in their differing genres. They don't make high budgeted movies its a studio that uses a lot smaller budgets than Hollywood where money is not a question but they can manipulate the budget so it can be to the best possible movie with out putting lots of money in to it to make it a blockbuster .
Task 4: who would be the audience for your media product?
My target audience for my film is between the ages of 15- 25 I chose this target audience because it would be most appealing to this audience. The movie is rather graphic because it is about a suicide bomber we chose this because it builds suspense by showing the process of building the bomb this target audience should me more of a male audience because of the type of movie which would be shown rather graphic and I guess that a movie on a suicide bomber is top of the list for girls to go watch. I can’t think of any other movies that compliment our idea as this is not my most favourite sub genre. This genre that our movie is based on is a thriller / horror we chose this because it would have a larger targeted audience this would mean that more people would want to go and see the movie meaning that the pay back of the movie would be exceeded in a small amount of time
