1. EVALUATION










The images above are from the movie 'Seven', the are similar to our clip 'Times Up' because we also scribbled on and tore up pictures to show hate towards one particular thing (as shown below).




6. EVALUATION

I learnred to use various technologies during the course in order to create Times Up such as; digital HD cameras, Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro. I didint use Title Sequence so i dont really know much about it. The things i have used were really easy to get to grips with, for instance Final Cut Pro is a very complex programme but despite that its very user friendly and easy to work with. Same can be said for the digital cameras, tripods, and Soundtrack Pro.

3./4. EVALUATION










A good distribution for 'Times Up' would probably be Universal Pictures or Paramount Vantage, seeing as they are responsible for distributing the likes of The Bourne Trillogy and the No Country For Old Men, which are both high ranking thrillers. The internet could be used to launch this movie to a wider audience by doing things such as publishing it on Youtube, or maby use a social networking site such as Facebook to advertise the clip by actualy posting the video or by sending a link to another website, such as Youtube. also you can advertise on Facebook as well as creating a 'fan page' or a 'group' which people generaly use to promote themselves or something else, e.g. rookie producers/rappers.






2. EVALUATION


Times Up represents social groups because its about racism towards muslim people. The muslim culture is an obvious one to target due to themes such as terrorisim. this can emphasise with our clip because 'Times Up' is about a white killer on the loose who is after muslim women for no apparent reason, which is psychotic but also obviously racist.

Thriller sub genre


The subgenre that we are doing for our thriller is that we are creating a psychological thriller.

Psychological thriller is a specific sub-genre of the thriller genre. This genre contains other elements like mystery and drama. However, our film contains religion.


Thrillers often emphasize intense, physical action over the character's psyche. Psychological thrillers tend to reverse this formula to a certain degree, emphasizing the characters more than the actual plot.


The suspense created by psychological thrillers often comes from two or more characters preying upon one another's minds, either by playing deceptive games with the others or by merely trying to demolish the other's mental state.


Sometimes the suspense comes from within ones mind where they decide to try and resolve a conflict themselves. Usually, this conflict is an effort to understand something that has happened to them. These conflicts are made more vivid with physical expressions of the conflict in the means of either physical manifestations, or physical torsions of the characters at play.



5) Evaluation who would be the audience for your media product?


This bag shows that it is a girls handbag because the bag contains things like e.g. Make up, hair brush etc... The way these things can tell what sort of person or who they are is for instance by looking at the credit cards in her bag it shows that this person is earning money and can identify her age group.





However, the type of audience that would be attracted to our film would be young muslim girls.




The lifestyle summary I would give about a hand bag belonging to one of our typical target audience will be that:




Tanzila is a student from City and Islington college. You can tell this by the ID card she carries around in her bag. From this card you can tell that she is a muslim because of her ID picture where she is wearing a scarf and you can tell what age group she is as well. The way you could tell that she is islamic is because she carries around a pocket quran and a small prayer timetable. There is also a gold chain that has a locket on it with an islamic symbol. There are some recipts in her bag that shows she loves to buy make up, bags, scarfs, headpins etc... There is also a small poster in her bag that shows she is religious because it gives out information about a islamic talk which only implies to women.























Location shots




















These are a few of our location shots. As our story line was about racism we had to link the london life with the muslim community which in our case was the East London mosque and Regents mosque.
