Representations Of 'Love Triangle'

MES : Through mise en scene, representation was shown through clothing. The main character was dressed in smart work clothes ( blouse , blazer , skirt ) this let the audience know she was of a middle class status also through her job , the exterior of the building let the audience know that the person who worked inside was quite corporate as the building was quite posh , big and clean.

Evaluation - Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups ?

Evaluation Question- 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Representation is presented through:

Representation refers to stereotypes, in our film we stereotype:

A Office Women
A Cheating Partner (the guy)
A Mistress

MES- The costumes used in our film opening indicated that the film will take place in a working industry, where the actors would wear office clothes. We included office equipment such as computers, folders, a telephone

A particular match cut that waas used to represent gender was when the character picks up the images of her and her partner and then she goes to sit down.

The soundtrack we created relates to our film as it is a romance thriller, however it has some aspiration of one of the character being a psycho.

Wee zoomed into the picture and turn it out of focus for more effect, it also hints that the something may happen to the character in the picture.

Stereotypes can be good because the audience can easily identify them, however it can also exaggerate the truth; so the film can become distorted and untrue.

Evaluation Question 4 : Who would be the audience for your media project ?

Being that our film is a romantic thriller, it has been decided that our target audience is a female skew ranging from 25 - 45 . This helped us in our marketisation for our film as we know how to target audience. We knew how to attract our audience , we done this through the way it was advertised , the film title had the word 'LOVE' this would've caught their attention as it was something that women are interested in , also their age aswel means that they would've most probably experienced a type of love in their life . We know that by having a woman as the main character would also attract our target audience , because they would've been interested to see what her story was about and if they could empathise and sympathise with the character.

Evaluation Question- 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

The Target audience for our movie would probably mature woman or possibly divorced women. Our film is a romance thriller, it relates to these particular individuals as they relate to particular characters as they may have experienced the thing that take place during the film.

Our film may have a large market ranging from the ages of 25 to 45, however girls from the age of 18 up wards may be interested in the film as they may want to prepare of what may happen to them in the future, they may want to learn and get ready for future relationships.

Evaluation Question 5 : How did you attract / address your audience ?

After watching my film , i got some audience review . I made sure i got it from a boy and a girl so that there would be two completely different opinions. Our location was set in an office and through clothing the audience could tell what kind of people the characters were (e.g middle class ), this could've appealed to them as they may find this interesting as it is unusual or they can empathise with the character . The opening of my film would appeal to women through actors as the main character is a woman therefore they can relate to the character. The storyline was based on a romantic storyline again appealing to women. In our rough cut edit we were given feedback to make our film longer and also told to add music to our sequence. This was helpful as by adding the music made the film more appealing to watch. Another appealing idea we had to attract the audience was a stylised title being that our film was called 'LOVE TRIANGLE' we made the letter 'A' in triangle, a red triangle this appealed to the audience as they could get some sort of idea what the film was about through the colour red as it connotes with many things e.g ( love , war , death ). So far we have reached our audience through :

Cinema Screening ( Screen on The Green )
Vimeo

We are planning to release our film on facebook to receive a viral audience, which will make the film become more popular and gain a wider viewing audience.

Another way of appealing to our audience can be through advertisements e.g. :

magazines ( mainly woman/ gossip magazine)
newspapers
bus stops / tube stations
buses
radio

Evaluation Question- 5

How did you attract/address your audience?

Audience Feedback

We may attract the audience by:

Putting a advert onto the internet
Viral such as Facebook
Social Network
Women magazine
Adverts across busses
Adverts in train stations

By Promoting the film we are encouraging a range of different people to come and watch our film, from people travelling to work by train to housewives at home reading women magazines. Our opening is set in a office so is more likely to appeal to those who work especially women as they can relate to the characters. After our groups rough cut review we was inspired to make a few changes such as adding background music to the titles which related to the film Fatal Attraction, which also related to the target audience we wanted which was "Mature Women"Our film reached are audience through both the cinema and DVD, i intent to put pir video up on Facebook and Youtube in which it will attract more people to come and watch it.

Technologies Used :

Flip Camera
JVC Camera
Blogger
Video Drive
Final Cut Pro
Sound Track Pro

Evaluation Question- 6

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this products?

The technology I have used:

A digital camera
A flip camera
A hard drive
Finalcut pro
Soundtrack pro
Foley sounds

The technology I have used has created more of an effect on my film opening, through both sound and visually. Without the sounds in which we added to our film opening it would not be that effective. for example, we decided to add soundtrack pro and foley sound on specific events on our film; ie- when a character was typing on a computer keyboard, foley sound made it more effective as it gave it more volume. Another sound we used was the slamming of the door without that it would o been less efective and would not have an effect o the audience. A visual effect we included was match cut through the editing process which allowed our film flow fluently.
