This is our finished film poster

This is our completed poster for our film 'Marilyn',We have made a change of that the certificate is now a 15 rather than an 18.As a number of people on the feedbacksaid it would be more appropriate for a certificate of 15 to have a larger audiences in cinema. We decided to use a different range of fonts to match our genre with

typewriter style font, for our companys name and our web address. Making `Marilyn' our main feature we decided to have a white background so that nothing was given
 away.Also At the top either side of `Marilyn'we've got two ratings which gives different opinions on our film.

4. How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

We used a wide range of new media technologies, these played a big impact in our production, we wouldn't have been able to complete our finished film without these.

Having already had past experience with Blogger, i feel that it was easy to use and that i could show the understanding of my work alot clearer and a better understanding of my work.

Without google i wouldnt have been able to research our chosen genre,pictures our technologies.

The Apple Mac and iTunes have played a huge part in recording our film without these we wouldnt have been able to edit our film,create music.

3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

I think as a group we have learned from our audience feedback that im some scenes we could have had more work on them. I feel that the main reason of a few laughs is because the people who play the characters are there friends so they find it funny. We have now realised what we could do next time to make it a very succesful short film. Our audience did comment on the editing techniques used and camera skills,So overall very positive feedback.

2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

Our theme of our film is black and white which gives us an insight of the 1940's era.On the front of our poster we included actors and the creators behind the film names.In the review we used the same picture, so it doesnt give too much away,to make the film feel more real we added in a link so our target audience could catchup on the latest news.Having a genre of film noir, i feelas a whole group we created that succesfully,using the correct camera work,editing and costumes.Having changed our target audience we decided to put it at 15-25 we feel that the products will appeal to amuch wider audience. I feel that our posterand review will boost up our audiences and grab thereattention to it. As social networking sites are more popular than ever we would have advertising through them like facebook and twitter.

Our finished film

Above is our completed film 'Marilyn' We have tried to keep to the codes and conventions of Film Noir,this was acheived by costume, props, storyline, sound and camera.
Textual Analysis
Looking back at our film we feel that we should have chose our locations more thoroughly, so that we could create the best of the filming period we got. We also gave our film realistic theme by creating our time period in the 1940's.If we got the chance to do it all again i feel that we all should have jobs in which we had to complete to make it alot more easier and a quicker process.The editing has made the film alot more successful and a entertaining piece.

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

Our film product uses the conventions of real media products because it uses the same styles of the film Noir detective films.We also developed the idea of real media products by converting the idea of the male dominance in Film Noir, detective film. In our film our detective is a female and her partner is a male,the detective's partner saves the day whereas normally the detective would save the day.
