Question 7 Looking back on your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full project?

Audience Reactions:


Jake: 17



Jess:18



Jazzie:17



Sam:17



Overall I think that the audience feedback was very positive and encouraging for future projects.

Question 6 What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Equipment we used was a computer, tripod, external hard-drive, Panasonic AVCHD Film Camera and a standard recording device for the music.

From using the camera we learnt how to perfect shots and film efficiently whilst under pressure.

Through using premiere I am now a lot more comfortable with the programme and will be able to use it with future projects. Before the preliminary task I had never used adobe premiere before so initially had to come to terms with it. Blogging was not a new experience for me however using blogger was as previously I had used wordpress. I was familiar with youtube, photoshop and soundcloud however and therefore could use these programmes well. Dafont was a website Charlotte introduced to me so I watched and learnt. Audacity was again a new experience for me but I found it very simple and easy to use.



Question 5 How did you attract/address your audience?

We attracted our audience by exploring arthouse cinema and the genre of surrealism. The music is typical of a silent film and the originality of it would appeal to our audience. The music in the opening and the artistic style of our film would appeal to people who like Amelie the french film by Jean-Pierre Jeunet.



Unique selling points of our film are that it is modern yet silent, is of an interesting genre, is British and reflects a lot of aspects of film and literary history.
Our film would be certificate 15 as a result of some of the quite disturbing and unusual imagery such as the Joker-esc clown who has self-harming cuts on his forearms and the violence of the Egyptian who slaps Alice.

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

Warp began as an English record label founded in Sheffield in 1989 however since have expanded and now produce films since 2001.

Warp is one of the foremost and most respected creative independent companies. It is based in London, England and Sheffield, with a further office now in Melbourne, Australia. Since its inception as a shop and record label in 1989, it has been a platform for innovative and boundary-breaking talent.
