Media project

This slideshow was uploaded using Slideshare, I first created the
slidshow on Microsoft Office PowerPoint were I then uploaded it to Slideshare and then embedded it onto this blog post.

Evaluation Question 3) What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Uk distribution company


Metrodome group is a London based publicly traded company that manages and distributes firms.Due to it being primarily based in London it is a perfect company for us as we too are based in the London area. They also handle the distribution of low budget films such as our own.

Where and how it ill be viewed

If we  were to release our film out in a cinema , we would use picture house as they primarily work with low budget british films like ours. Also  with this company being really large this means our film would be shown all across the uk.   

Evaluation Question 2) How does your media product represent particular social groups?

How gender is represented?

In our Thriller Gender can only be lightly touched upon cause there is not much you can say about the main character, except how he didnt act as a typical dominant male who would have put up a fight against the killer.But with the killer their identity is unknown so you cant determine whether or not they are male or female.



How is Age represented?
In our Thriller it shows an independent young person living alone, this in itself is very uncommon and highly contrasting to the usual stereotype of a young person. The same problem with the representation of the killers gender is also applicable for their age as it too is not known.

How is Class Represented?

The protagonist in our  thriller comes across as being well refined and organised, and this could give the  impression he  belongs in the  higher class of society. and by being attacked in his own home could give the impression that those in higher classes are vulnerable to those who are below them in society.    

How is ethnicity represented? 

Ethnicity is also another one which is not really represented in anyway, also again the killers ethnicity is too not revealed to the audience. 

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

The Conventions of Thrillers
On the right is an image of a mind map in my media book of the what conventions we think are in thrillers. In this mind map we cover a wide variety of points which range from aspects of thrillers such as enigmas, red herrings an dramatic irony to what scenes you would expect to see on a thriller film such as murder, kidnapping and car chase. We also included a couple of typical things such as a setting for a thriller, which would be an urban setting like a city, and actors like Liam Neeson or Matt Damon.

Types of Thrillers: Spy Thriller
                            Political Thriller
                            Conspiracy Thriller
                            Legal Thriller
                            Psychological Thriller








The use of conventions in our Thriller
In our Thriller we focused highly on the use of dramatic after the repeated mornings to create a huge feeling of suspense for the audience.We also added music which acts like a red herring as would create confusion as contrasts to what you would usually expect from a typical thriller.
We also didn't want to include any shocks as the use of a masked serial killer and shocks could have pushed our thriller more into the horror genre. If i had to catagorise our thriller in the list above id say it would belonged to the psychological thriller area, this is because of the attempts of trying to confuse the audience and throw them off as much as possible.

Thrillers which influenced us and which ours are similar to


Here you can see an image of Hannibal from Silence of the lambs, our influence of using a mask came from a couple of films but this one was the most notable. The main influence for it is the iconic memorable look which the audience would remember.

Our Thriller: The Routine

Here is our complete version of our thriller.

Rough Edit & Storyboard

 Rough edit for the opening of our thriller.

And here is the Storyboard for our Thriller:

Sound in our thriller

In our thriller to we added sound effects to emphasise the tense moments in our opening, for example we added a low frequency bass sound to emphasise his shock as he discovers a blooded knife in his kitchen drawer. This sound was edited on a program called Fruity Loops, and the sound was created by using the sound of a kick drum on the program and lowering the pitch to create a low bass sound.

Here is an example of what the programs user interface looks like. as you can see on the far left there are many instrumental sounds which can be selected and edited by changing the length and pitch of the sound.
