Evaluation


Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?


Overall i would have to say that the progression was significantly high at first we had no idea what the terms and techniques needed in order to create a full short film. further we progressed as a whole in working together as a team in order to create a final product. So our team worker skills had improved a lot during the pre production series. 
further looking back at the preliminary task our structure had improved. 


What have you learnt about technologies from the process of construction? 

Not only were we able to produce a full length of two minute film we were able to gain a full understanding of the filming process and key terms and techniques used in final cut express and adobe after effects this means we were able to learn about lighting and key frames that are very essential on any video editing software. Therefore when it comes to another task that will involve pre production and filming then I would have enough experience to create it success. 



Audience Feedback 
Here is a video of our audience feedback 



Explain problems with adobe say how you overcame them and how you worked around the parameters of your capabilities? 




How did you Attract/address your target audience?

I had addressed the target audience through the use of surveys and questionnaires in order to gain a full understanding of what the audience wanted through their demographics. Further the plot was based around the streets of south london and we wanted to portray the harsh realities that befall each and every single one of us that live in south london. Hence our short film is similar to the existing products like shank and kidulthood. Therefore our target audience is youths around the age of 16- 25 years old.

How does your media product represent particular social group?

This particular media product represent the social group of young teenagers surrounded by violence in there  hometown, therefore it represent typical gang culture among youths whether they should conform or not to the pressure of their peers. The opening shows the protagonist to be a gang member who is constantly involved in gang culture and warfare, the rest of the plot sets out to go deeper to understand the reasons for this and also convey how people can change in the future. The social Group however of our product mainly focuses around 16 - 19 years old.
