Q6EVALUATION - Cinema Reactions

After watching our thriller at The Screen on the Green we asked a few people what they thought of our thriller and this is what they said. 

Q7: What have you learned about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

This is a voice recording video of me describing the my use of technologies collectively. I refer to the technologies in chronological order and how I used each one separately and then as a whole to create our thriller film.

Q7: TECHNOLOGIES USED

I say 'Post Production' in the beginning when I am meant to say PRE PRODUCTION, slight error.

Q7: A TALK TO CAMERA DISCUSSING THE TECHNOLOGIES USED IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER.

EVALUATION - Q7: What have you learned about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

A talk to camera of the technologies we've used.

Q4&5: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? How will you attract/address your audience?

In the blue star, is an image of what our thriller would look like advertised on YouTube. We would advertise it on websites like YouTube and Tumblr as they are popular with our target audience. The trailer of our film could be on YouTube in recommended videos or related links to other trailer.

What our Thriller Opening would look like on Vimeo. We will advertise it here also as it is a popular video sharing site for our target audience of young males (and females.)

Here is a clip of the comments and response to our Thriller posted on Facebook.

We received many comments and likes of our video from friends and family, some feedback was negative and some people said they didn't entirely understand the plot. So we feel that the perhaps we could have told the story better some how, however we received plenty of good feedback of our range of shots, effects, pace and editing.

Here is a QuickTime Player video of the Prezi I made about the type of advertising we would use for Foursquare. It covers the different types of media institution I will use for the advertising and distribution process of our Thriller and how to reach our target audience through current products.

Q4/5: What Kind Of Media Institution Might Distribute Your Media Product And Why? How Will You Attract/Address Your Audience?

After researching, I have found that their is definitely a gap in the hollywood film market for thrillers, we always aimed for 'FOUR SQUARE' to hit the big screen. Our desired distributors were FLOWER FILMS the company who worked alongside Donnie Darko.

Our target audience is young males, preferably City Guys so we have advertised in places such as:

So that our target audience would have been targeted.  We would have perhaps looked into doing a deal with Topshop to create a fresh item of clothing based on our film, or with IPHONE to create intense 'FOUR SQUARE' apps, and we would have reached cinemas such as Odeon & VUE as they usually do deals with films to reach target audience.


Realistically our film is a low budget, British film using the independent company CANDI Media, however this company does have good digital equipment. We decided to associate our film with Studio8 as we were group 8, to distribute our film we have use low budget schemes.  To get our opening out for others to see we have 200 DVD's being copied, along with a cinema showing where other media groups get to see the work we have produced. 

I looked at this student film and saw that they distributed it via youtube, they have gained over 200,000 views which proves the success. Their film is being watched by people who are clearly sharing it with others this shows me how even though our film is not a big hollywood movie it could still be watched by many people. We have distributed via youtube, blogger twitter, vimeo and facebook  so that our film can be watched by loads of people- since it would not be advertised using a huge campaign.

EVALUATION - Q6: Feedback To Our Movie

Here is some feedback of our film after watching it on the big screen at the cinema. This had greater impact on our audience and we were able to see the real quality of the shots and film opening as a whole on the big screen.

This is an interview video of a response to our movie, which took place outside class in our lesson. This is valuable feedback and the type we need to help evaluate our piece of work before showing to the public.
