In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Our film uses the forms and conventions of real media texts as we use some of the same ideas of film noir detective films, where the detective tends to be more of a lone one. On the other hand we developed our own idea of real media products by changing the dominance of male in Film Noir, detective films. Woman tend to be dominated by the males however in our film the main detective is female and her partner is male. We further developed our idea of the main detective that in fact saves the day whereas in our partner saves the day. Lastly we challenged the idea of a female being a detective and the main character in the film.

Film review

Our finished film review our target audience are for niche audiences who prefer the independent films rather to the mainstream Hollywood blockbusters. In our review we kept the colour theme of blacks and reds which matches our films poster to make it look more professional. We also included our films website which is located at the bottom of the page so our target audience can find out more about our film.

The use of this picture above is to show our filming process in how we exactly shot some of the scenes.

This is our director (Tom) explaining to our actor (Kirsty) in how to mae he scene a lot better.

We decided that this location would be good as it's simple and would be to show Marilyn's home.

David Gautlett

The golden era of films (1930-50’s) everyone went to the cinema just to watch one thing, it was irrelevant what is was, they insisted they want to see it. The media was the most expensive and new thing in society. Watching television in the day as a family/everyone and whatever is on, you would have to watch until it got turned off. Today it’s very important in society as it blends in and you can watch it wherever and when you want to as it’s always available.  Today going to the cinema is a social event, instead of it being a big event, now you can watch television on your computer, phone and even your iPod.

 

 

 

 

Consume television

We consume television and different media technologies differently, the way to watch it or reading the news are done majority the same. You would have to go to the cinema to watch new films. Today people can watch it anywhere, like on their television, internet or at the cinema as so many options are given for them.
