Individual Evaluation 2

I think that the Media product does represent certain social groups and the main one would be teenagers. teenagers are attracted to Horror/Thriller films as they are more interested in these sort of films rather than an older audience. The Audience will be able to relate to the characters of our film as they are round about the same age and they will be feeling emotionally attached to the characters. Teenagers will also be able to understand the story a lot better as they will relate to them, whereas an older audience might not understand because of there wisdom and common sense. The 3 weeks later scene was added in the end to attract a wider range of people because they will be interested in what exactly does happen next. Teenagers will also be aware of the events that may happen and will want to stay tuned to see if the rest of the film turns out like as planned.



In the picture above we have a comparison between Reece's character and a zombie character from the film "Zombieland". for our version of the shot we have edited the colour on it as part of our film. We have changed the colour of the video footage to make it appear more creepy. the original footage was bright and Colourful because the weather was very bright although it was raining. the picture from Zombieland is bright because this is the way that the their producers and director wanted it. This picture is very similar to the quality of our original film footage. The blood used in these are very different as in our film as we didn't use a lot of special effects for the blood. Unfortunately we didn't have the time or materials to make them look  realistic. we also did not want to make a lot of mess as this would have to of had more effort and time wasted cleaning up after ourselves. In Zombieland they had a lot more time then us to make mess and to clean up afterwards. Because of this Zombieland looks more realistic than our film opening.


The costumes that where used in the two films are very different also. the ones used for Zombieland were made especially for the stunt actors to wear. The clothes are very normal looking also and have been covered in fake blood to make them look more authentic. The clothes in which we used in our Film Opening were dark so that Reece could blend in with the backdrop and could be hidden from fays character. We also made his cloth choice quite normal looking and nothing with blood on so that he looked like a regular person. This would have been a good effect to use in Zombieland as it would have kept the audience guessing on who are the Zombies, and who are the regular people.


Reece doesn't appear to have eaten yet, whereas the zombies in Zombieland eat all the time. Because Reece is not covered in blood like a regular zombie then it must mean that he has only recently gone through "The Change". As said before it is really obvious who the zombies are and that they will kill everyone in sight. In our film Opening this is not as clear and this puts our audience on edge.


Although there are many differences between Reece's Character and the Zombie, There is a few similarities too. One of them is that both of them have the same goal in mind and that would be to kill and eat their victims. This makes them both ideal candidates for both films and perfect for any Horror/Thriller. The social group which is Female teenagers who we are targeting this at, must be very impressed with the characters use and how they are both unique to this film and may not be seen in other film that have been produced.
