In what way does your product use , develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products??
-We haven't shot our film so i cannot comment.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
-We haven't shot our film so i cannot comment.
what kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
-We haven't shot our film so i cannot comment.
Who would be the audience for your media product?
-Those between the ages of 17-29 ish i believe.
How did you attract/address your audience?
-We chose to attract our audience's through our various trailer's if we could have made them. We chose to do this because trailer's as we know are a good way to let people know about your movie, and to get people talking around school's and work.
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
-I have learnt the technologies are far more advanced than they were a meagre 10 years ago. I
have also found the technology of today quite simple to use, whereas 5-10 years ago i would have had to take a whole course on learning to control the equipment.

Target Audience
After thinking for a while about our target audience i believe they should be between the ages of 17-29, and that this film should be mainly aimed at a male audience, but should also be available and suitable for female's. Also with our thriller project if it was to be made into a full feature-length movie, you would see all sort's of things that would scare children and some adults alike.
Certificate:
Overall i would either give our 
production a 15 or an 18. Because if our small film were to make it to the movies both of these age groups fill the ages i have set out, with not being such an infringement on children. Seeing as most thrillers are too scary for children, and i deem those aged at 15 old enough to decide whether or not our thriller will scare them or not. So if we were to make this into a full feature length movie we would also create a trailer for it as well to give the people aged 15+ and 18+ , an idea of how scary they may find our film.

I think in our thriller we should make the whole scene black and white personally, it will give a much deeper and more overwhelming chilling effect.
I cant find the music i got the idea from but i will search once am at home, because at home i can make it onto facebook.
I think it would be a good idea to use only black and white , because it gives the audience more fear, as it will make the whole room dark,an it will scare them more when something jumps out at them .

Today i (Mick . M) and Ben decided to take a look around the area where we would film our complete scene. From doing this we could figure out good vantage points to take the shot from, and yet again evaluate upon our ideas for the filming of this intro. We have been set the task of filming a thriller, in our thriller we have chosen to include the quite popular military man and his mental illness, which in cases of thriller is particularly popular.

Our killer is a ex-military member, who has been discharged because of the severe amount of mental illness and suffering he has endured. His daughter died age 17, from a severe Cerebral edema. But what our main character chooses to believe is far from different to this situation. He is in the belief that she killed herself due to her male peer's having such a damaging state to her emotional well being, which tormented her into killing herself.
His mental and emotional flaw is the thought of his young daughter killed by such terror's to society.
