7. Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full task?

Here is the Match on action we used in our opening sequence. We used a selection of interesting shots, including a mid shot and a high angle shot. We also used a Match on action in our preliminary project. However, we used the same mid shot to film the whole entrance. Here we used the 180* rule but in an interesting way. we improved it from our preliminary task because out shots were more complex, for example, shooting through the bookcase. However, in our preliminary task we simply used a shot reverse shot to show the 180* rule

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this project?

5. How did you attract/address your audience?

4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

This is Hollie Latham (19) and Thomas French (21). Hollie is currently living in Croydon and is about to attend the City ofWinchester University to study for a degree in Performing Arts. Thomas is currently in the Army training to become a member of the Army Air Corps. They are a typical couple who enjoy outings to the cinema and restaurants. They shop in popular high street shops like Topshop/Topman and Primark andenjoy socialising with friends and having nights out. Both of them enjoy TV Programs like The Inbetweeners, Skins, Misfits, and Glee. I think our film would appeal to this couple as it involves aspects of all of theyre favourite TV shows as it is of a simular genre.

3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media?

This is the script for our voice over;

Lara: Our production company logo was created by Rian Forman, who plays the part of the anorexic male teenager in Cut Loose. The programme he used was Macromedia Fireworks, which was then imported into iMovie. The colour used to decorate the logo was the same one used throughout our film

Mel: A production company creates ideas and motion pictures, tv programmes, and adverts  - they may also find funding for the products they produce. The money could come from the National Lottery - Uk Film Council. They have funded Kidulthood which has been a huge  influence for us.

Mel: A distributor is someone reliable who would get the film out there and support it fully. Such as Revolver Entertainment, the multi-award winning, all rights film distribution company based in the UK, who distributed Kidulthood.

Lara: Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation  is a possible media institution that could distribute our product, as they distributed In Her Shoes, another one of our main influences. However due to a low budget, Revolver seem more suitable as the distributor as they are known for working on lower budget films.

2. How dows your media product represent particular social groups?

Sarah is similar to Bex from Waterloo Road. Bex is controlled by her boyfriend and has no control over her life or decisions. Like Sarah she cannot turn to anyone due to fear of her boyfriend finding out. However, Sarah is a dancer which helps her to escape from the chaos of what is happening around her, Bex has no escape. Both of the girls dress similar in ways as they both cover as much of their body as possible with clothing, however we only ever see Bex in her school uniform, whereas we often see Sarah in her dance clothes. Both girls are blond and look frail and vulnerable, they also live in fear of men. Bex was a great influence for Sarah's character, however we have changed elements of Bex's character so as to give Sarah an individual persona.

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

• Our opening sequence is rather typical. We set the genre of a teen drama, as the teens introduce their characters through admitting their problems, introducing the audience to the storyline. 
• The Mise en Scene shows teens in stereotypical clothing and carryout stereotypical activities i.e. doing weights, smoking, etc. 
• The set up of the opening sequence is unusual, but not unique, as the opening sequence is the end of the film and the whole film is in the past. 
• The title of our film is indirect as it suggests that the teens are outcasts, however that is a title of a TV series, so we decided to use an indirect title.
• Our genre is also set through our font, it is in a graffiti style which is stereotypically related to teens.
• A variety of high angled shots and low angled steady shots were used to differ between the teens vulnerability and instability in the past and their dominance and self assurance in the present day. 
• The characters are introduced with influence from Trainspotting, we use a still frame to display the characters names and a voice over to introduce them to the audience. However, unlike Trainspotting we use flashbacks to introduced the character further.
