Evaluation Question 2
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Firstly there are many stereotypes around the social media network. In films such thrillers, the majority of the male actors are known as more dominant and are more powerful than the female characters. Women are more used in the way that the male characters want something from them.
In films such as the thrillers as North by North West, films like that the women are used. Also they are mostly killed off early in the films where as it is up too the men to save them and become the heroes.
In our finished thriller movie, it was shown that the women was too be killed off first to show the dominance in the men and the weakness in the women. Also the men are the heroes and they kill of the villains which in the film was me and I got killed too.

Evaluation Question 7
Looking back at my preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the finished product?
I have learnt a lot of things through-out the progression from the preliminary task to our finished product which was our thriller film. Firstly i have learnt how to use a camera properly as before when we learnt all the techniques it still took my group a while to get used to it. After a while, using it a few times made me learn and i then knew how to hold a camera and i learnt the different techniques. Also i found that editing was a struggle when doing our preliminary task but once doing it a few times and getting help from my teacher when editing our actual thriller film i found it easier and my group then knew how to put the titles and how to cut bits out of the film as we didn't know how to do that before. Also I did not know how to add music to the preliminary film, but learning more and more I got used to it and then we then added music to our final product as we needed to make it the best as possible for viewers.

Storyboard and the Animatic
This is our animatic for our thriller. It is a step by step of our story board of what each scene would contain. We needed this story board as it would help us to do what we did and be successful in our thriller film.
Past student analyse
This thriller is good in the way that is makes the audience think what is going to happen again. This is a thriller from 2011 from students at Robert Clack School. It is gloomy, dark and wet which is in a scene of a horror film. They chase each other which means someone is after some body else, and also the girl was playing the piano with blood on her hands and the piano itself which suggests someone has been hurt or has been cut or stabbed which means something bad has happened.
In our thriller film, we filmed plots that would match our story board. It took us two whole days to film our film and it is two and a half minutes long. This is just over two minutes long which means they might of used the same amount of time that we did. In our film it looks like we concentrated on more the filming and shots rather than how good and realistic our films looks.
We never used blood which does look realistic in a thriller movie. Also the used the running technique with the camera which made it look like they was getting away. This makes us think that something is going to happen, maybe someone might be getting murdered. They used a car in their thriller which we used. This is to emphasis that the villain is trying to get away.
