The doll, Chucky, from the film Chucky is portrayed evil , and this inspired us to put dolls in our piece because it shows that even the most innocent things like a child's play toy can be twisted into something sinister. We decided to use dolls in our opening titles, because it creates a eary effect like the doll in Chucky.
We also use enigma codes throughout our project for example the rip in the paper at the end of our sequence represents that the father will be the only one left in the end. We was inspired from the film red eye which uses an enigma code. It features a picture of the main character playing hockey at the start at the film, at the end she defends herself with a hockey stick.
How does your media product represent social groups?
Our film represents women in a bad light, because its the ex girlfriend that is killing all the girlfriends, it portrays the gender suggesting that the gender on a whole become so attached and jealous, to the extent of becoming a mass murderer.
The little girl is falsley accused by her father that she is killing his girlfreinds. We wanted show how the younger age group get involved with adult things not out of choice but are forced into this vicous situations. We wanted to indicate that youths are always being accused for things they havnt done and they havnt got a chance to stand up for themselves.
3) What type of media institution would distribute your media product and why?
- Twisted productions was the first media insitution we looked at to see if there genre fitted our film. Twisted productions made films such the Saw Collection. Their films seem to involve lots of gore and this is something we tryed to aviod in Theres no place like home. We wanted our film to be psychologically displeasing than gorey.
- Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" released march 2010 looks as if it has the same childish theme that has been twisted into something more corrupted. We then researched into what media institution distributed the film. It happened to be Walt Disney and we thought this would be a innapropriate institute, as there film are aimed at the younger age groups this would be targeting the wrong audience due to the content of the film.
- Finnaly, the film pans labyrinth proved to have a simular storyline to there's no place like home. Picture house entertainments were the media intitution that distributed this film. We think that this would be appropriate for our film because the target audience they aspire to fit the description of ours.
4) Who would be the audience for your media product?
Uni-sex
Teenagers
5) How did you address/attract your audience?
6) What have you learned about technology from the construction of this product?
7)Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learned in the progression from it to the full product?
I have learnt from the preliminary task that it’s not always easy to film as it may seem. We could act in our own project for the two tasks before, whereas we couldn’t in our thriller opening, therefore it was hard to organize actors as the characters in our film had very specific descriptions, also some of the actors pulled out last minute so we had to find new ones quickly as we only had the equipment for a certain amount of time due to renting. Locations created trouble for getting correct and effective camera angles was hard because of the weather, time of day and environment. Things changing at our location so every time we filmed on different days things were different; this made it harder at the editing stage to make it run with good continuity. The editing becomes harder the more footage it took a long time because it becomes obsessive to get it perfect. The most important thing I learnt from you can’t be dependent on other people if working in a team because they can easily let you down and make work harder than it originally should be.
