Due to research i gathered at the start of the year in my questionnaire i found out that the majority of the people i asked were between 15-18 which supports my thought of the audience age group.

Question 4 - "Who would be the audience for your media product?"
I have watched our product over a few times and thought i through. it obviously came to my thought that the sequence was not suitable for the younger age (below 13) as it is slightly creepy and might be uncomfortable for the younger viewers. I feel that our product is suitable for anyone above the age of 15 as the cast are of that age and people that enjoy psychological thrillers would also enjoy our product as that is the theme.

SERCRET WINDOW ESSAY
Secret window is a film directed by David Koepp and written by him. The actor Johnny Depp stars in it. The film is a Thriller. The opening sequence starts off with Johnny Depp sitting in a car. He is angry with someone, possible his wife, he finds them and bursts into their room to catch her in bed with another person.
The opening starts off with the logo of the production company and sound bridge of the window screen wipers, this gets you thinking as you cant see the wipers, it makes you think that it could be a train, a heart beats, someone knocking a door? this is really effective and the audience is immediate intrigued. Camera is used very effectively, for example, the first shot is a close up of Johnny Depp's face, this is use dto show his emotion which is anger. The camera really focuses on the actors face only, not the background, this really projects the fact that he is disturbed. Another shot where the camera is used is at the end, where it is a high angle shot of the two people in bed, this shows how angry Johnny is because it is as if he is looking down on them in disgust. In another shot you can see a medium shot of him rushing behind a desk. the way the camera tracks the actor is very effective as it is showing his every move, the way he rushes behind the desks, the way he reaches for the keys just shows his anger very well.
This is my first written essay in media as it is my first time doing media as a lesson, i haven't done very well i know this as i have had feedback and have read it back over myself, i will reflect on my mistakes and learn for the the future. i will practice more of my written essays to get ready for my exam.

TITLE SEQUENCES
The title sequence is where the film or TV series present the title and the names of the people included. It helps establish the theme of the film.
Examples:
Star Trek, start trek is a futuristic fantasy film. The title really does show that the film is futuristic as it is shown in space and has a futuristic font.
The Hobbit title also shows what the film is. The first thing that comes to my head when i see this title is, medieval fantasy. it is very iconic as the film is very medieval with sword and battle like features.
Insidious is a horror film. The title is very creepy showing clearly that the film is going got be a horror.

SCRIPT
We didn't produce a script for our film as we didn't have any dialogue. Not having any dialogue made us feel that the opening sequence was more sinister and creepy.
