Research: Evaluation of all research mine

This is my evaluation on all of my research overall, how i could improve it, what i have learnt from it and mainly how it can help me and my group overall in making and planning our final piece. Looking at all of my research and other peoples including past students i have realised that not only me but the rest of my group need to include a lot me detail. We also need to add a bit extra some information that we have looked up and found ourselves on the internet or something that we don't understand and want to find out.

arking Criteria for the Evaluation
Candidates will evaluate their work electronically. This MUST contain an element of audience
feedback and may be either integrated with the presentation of the research and planning material
or may be presented separately. Where candidates have worked in a group, the evaluation may be
presented individually or collectively but the teacher must allocate a mark according the
contribution/level of understanding demonstrated by the individual candidate.
The questions that must be addressed in the evaluation are:
• In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real
media products? 
• How does your media product represent particular social groups? 
• What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? 
• Who would be the audience for your media product? 
• How did you attract/address your audience? 
• What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? 
• Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from
it to the full product?
Ideas for the format for the presentation of the evaluation can be found in the Guidance Notes.

Research: Basic conventions of a thriller film

-->

The conventions of a thriller film usually includes the battle of good VS evil, it is an ongoing battle between the protagonist and the antagonist. At the beginning of the narrative there is usually a peaceful setting to create a sense of peace before the storm. The peace is then disturbed by a particular event; at this point the storyline starts to unravel and a series of events then begin engaging the audience. The main aim is for the protagonist is to restore peace and justice where as the antagonist then tries to seek to destroy the peace and then the protagonist. The protagonist normally restores peace and justice and survives the antagonist evil plots. There are four main conventions of a thriller these are: characters, themes, narrative and iconography.

Exam: How to section media

What i learnt this lesson about how to section up a piece of media in an exam situation.

Research: What i have learnt from the title sequences

This video is about what i have learnt from the title sequences of the two films that i studied and did short analysis on.

Exam: Short Analysis of Memento

The opening credits shows the ending scene going in a backward direction this could show how people with memory disorders cant remember events in the way the happen and how they disappear. The way he shacks the photo violently also could signify the violence that is coming next in the film. You can also instantly tell it is of a thriller/action genre by the music that is traditionally played strings and an orchestra. Also the camera stays in a close up position to capture the sense of violence and confusion, which interests the audience immediately. 

Exam: Short Analysis of Psycho

The way all of the names are presented are fragmented which causes a very angular feeling to the movie and a very violent one too.  The font of the lettering is very rounded and bold which makes it stand out another aspect that adds to this is the fact that the lettering is white on a black background. The genre is constructed through the musicality and also the film name ‘psycho’ gives the genre of thriller psychological horror. The music is very upbeat the tempo could show the adrenaline and pace of the movie.
