5. How did you attract/ address your target audience?

Mode of address – Adults can relate to the type of film and its storyline, as it involves sensitive scenes, which evoke the views emotions allowing them to connect with the film. The title ‘Revenge’ allows the audience to easily to relate to an emotion often felt and also allows them to identify that it is not always the best option.

The profile of the characters gives off an image of higher and lower class but portrayed by actors that you wouldn’t stereotypically put in those roles. The message of this being that class isn’t always determined by age or appearance.

The title of the film ‘Revenge’ matches the genre of film you’d expect to see, this is aimed at anyone who enjoys a thriller film, but with the plot twist, it attracts an audience that perhaps does not enjoy a conventional plot.

Evaluation Questions:

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

-Our media product can be compared to a variety of real opening sequences that have been produced in a professional way. The media products can only have a slight similarity; this is because the real media products have been produced in a professional way. This means that the professionals will have access to: professional cameras, tripods, dolly’s and other high-tech tools to film.

-Our media product offers slow motions scenes, varies fonts and effects which have all been edited through final cut pro. This compares to the real product in a good form, this is because real media products such as the Fast & Furious opening scene. They have also used varies effects and transitions throughout their opening scene so this links to our opening scene.

-Real media products also have an opening before their opening scene; this is just the scene which offers the film title. Our media product has an opening which builds up to the actual scenes; this opening has the film title. Real media products also have transitions in-between their scenes which indicate the producer’s names, editor’s names, character names etc.

-Real media products also have music to fit in with their opening sequences, most real media products have permission to use copyright songs, this gives them a better quality music choice to fit in with the opening scene

Costumes:

-The rich man will be wearing a suit, this is the show the audience that he has a lot of money and is an important person.

- We chose a suit because they are expensive to buy.

- The rich man had to make an impression, he has to stand out from the rest like he is better than them.
