What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

I can't see a reason why any company wouldn't distribute my thriller movie based on what happens within it and the storyline as a whole (bar Disney, Pathe etc; mainly because they distribute movies that relate to younger kids; not my target audience). It's a very good opening sequence that includes many if not all of the thriller opening sequence conventions, so unless something went majorly wrong in the rest of the movie then I believe that there's no reason why they wouldn't distribute the film.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My media product shows 1 type of 'social groups'. That is the poorer class (my character) - my product gives off the vibe that poorer people are the victims of jokes and not valued high enough because they don't have what other people have like the latest trainers or newest video game. This is why in the opening sequence you don't see alot of any characters just mine with tracksuit bottoms and not good trainers. Through our first draft of the opening sequence we would of portrayed teenagers of rude, cocky and not really caring about anyone but themselves. However when we went off separately to edit I cut them shots out and made the sequence my own interpretation which was more about close-ups and building suspense, not really acting and talking.

2nd Filming Session

It was good that we only needed 2 filming sessions to get the rest our our filming done. With Paul and Jacob taking the camera home during the week to get their personal shots done, all we needed to film was the scenes that made the audience ask a lot of questions. So close ups up of me laying on the ground, plus the phone ringing and lots of slow pans across the misty fields. Plus there was still snow on the ground which i think added a lot to our film especially with the morning light. We finished recording and went back and uploaded the footage to iMovie ready to start editing in the next lesson! Next lesson I'd start my own interpretation on the editing of our movie.

1st Filming Session

Today we went out into the back streets of Sutton and Sutton common park and started to film our opening sequence. We didn't get all of the filming done however because we ran out of time although we did get quite a few of the first shots done, including what we planned to be the first scenes. We took many different shots and angles of the same scene so we had a variety to work from when editing and then after about an hour & half we decided to finish for the day and complete the rest of our filming during the next Media lesson that we had.

Sound

In our opening sequence the sound is being kept to a minimal so that we keep a lot of stuff secret from the audience. The dialogue from the characters is very little in each shot if there is any at all and the tension building music is from the website www.freesound.org. Other that that the only sound you'll hear is hyperbolic sound on the phone vibrating which finishes the opening sequence from our group.

Before I decided on the type of eerie music I wanted in my opening sequence I looked at 2/3 other's and then decided on the one I thought was best.

These two examples were the soundtracks I listened to before coming across the one that I used for my final piece.

Conventions of Thriller's

Following on from my research i have found that below are some of the main conventions that make up a Thriller movie!

• Set in foreign cites, deserts, high seas etc
• Usual hero's = 'hard-man' although sometimes general public when intrigued
• Eriee/Tension type's of music
• Often over-laping storylines throughout movie
• Plot makes the audience think

We will hope to include all these in our opening sequence for our thriller films.

3 Locations
