Some research into similar media texts and audience. The film is reasonably well made and while a fwe jump cuts spoil the continuity sequence, it generally shows a good understanding of the required elements. An evaluation has been included, but a film has not

• 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?
In my short film i have used cuts and fades from different angles of film to create an effective film which follows the 180 degree, match on action and shot reverse shot. I have selected actors and given them unfrom in order to create a stereotype, in order to cut speech and create a short sharp piece of editting.
My programme represents a younger genereation, perhaps of secondry school children, and the use of music gives the clip a chilled out relaxing film, it would be suitable to be watched by any age group without any real offence being taken at the use of speech and the frames contents.
The type of media institution that might distripute my media product would be a tv firm or an advertisement group, the use of short films are most commonly seen as TV adverts. However the clip shows the conventions used in a professional film, for this reason it wouldn't be a problem if the clip was used as part of an actual film. The reasons for distribution of this type of clip would be due to the fact that the quality editing and voice overs gives the clips the final piece a powerful effect which engages the audience.
The audience for my type of clip would be tv viewers and film watchers. It would probably be seen more by a passive audience as it is just a taster clip, the amateur actors used would also lower the socio ecomoic group that it would appeal to maybe C2 D and E would be the sole viewers.
From not breaking the 180 degree rule and keeping the camera clips changing as soon as the idea is put across I have created an effective piece of film, this helps keep the auudience watching without getting borred of the same continuous shot of a boring scene. Along with this i have used music to bring the clip together as a whole and this hels round of the clip making it more engaging.
Throughout this project i have been using iMovie and the equipment that goes with it including the camera and the tripod, i have learnt how to upload video clips, enhance images and add sound effects. With all of this i have been able to cut clips and add sound effects and voice overs to create a film which covers the work specification aswell as teaching me the capabilities of iMovie software.

Different Shot Types
To start i am goin to have my character walking towards a close door using a long shot, this will give the feeling of the character imposing and getttin closer. This will take a couple of basic shots. Next i will have my character walking throught the door and this will cover the aspect of 'match on action' in my film. The character will be shown walking to the door placing his hand about to push (by now the audience will know he is going to apear on the other side of the door) and i will use match on action as the door gets opened on the inside and we will see character A walk through using a long shot. From here he will walk over to character B and shake hands, showing togetherness in the scene.
From here they will sit down and the 180 degree rule will be used at a medium close up to give a feelin of first person'ness as i switch from one side to the other showing an exchange of dialogue. From here my characters will go and have a game of ping pong, this game should display shot/reverse shot as the the ball goes from one side to the other, i will also be able to use match on action once again here.
Above is an example to help give an idea of the different types of shot i intend to use.

FILM PROJECT
I intend to film and edit a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, where he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.
