This is will my blog in which I will regularly update during the time I will be learning AS media studies at The Marlborough School. I will use this blog in order to keep track of production and to show evidence of planning, research and time management.
The third questions in which I need to answer for the evaluation of my opening sequence is 'What kind of media institutions might distribute your media product and why?'. For this question i am thinking about filming myself where I'll be able to talk and compare different media institutions in order to find the best one for our media product.
For example I can talk and explain how institutions like 'Walt Disney' and 'Pixar' wont be someone who will distribute my media product due to them focusing on distributing animation films whereas mine is based on horror and not animated. Institutions such as 'Hammer' or 'Paramount Pictures' are more likely to distribute my media product.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
For the second question for the evaluation I have to think about how my opening sequence represents particular social groups. This will involve me talking about the class, race, age, gender and sexuality of the character used within my opening sequence.
To answer this part of the evaluation I plan to do a video that shows pictures and annotations from my opening sequence in which i will do a voice over on describing in more detail how it represents a particular social group.
In order to evaluate our preliminary task, I have 6 questions in which I should answer that will give a detailed analysis of what we did.
The first question that I will need to answer is: 'In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?'.
To answers this question I was thinking maybe about doing it in the form of a directors interview in which I can effectively talk about the editing, camera shots, costume and location within my opening sequence. I could also have my opening sequence playing in the background in which I could refer back to showing examples of different shots used and then giving an explanation as to why we used it to develop or challenge forms of real media products.
Below is an example of an actors interview of the film 'SkyFall':
Even though this interview is asking the actor questions it still shows a good representation of what I intend to do. I aim to talk about editing within our opening scene, and how we increase the tension for the audience when the district nurse enters the cellar.
