media evaluation question 6

Technologies play a big part in movie making, for example iv used livetype to create my ident.













also final cut express is a major part of movie making because it helps you make credits for the film and add effects it also helps edit the film to its best with cutting shots and trimming them down. YouTube is also a big part in movie making because you are able to upload your final product onto there where everyone can see and comment on how good it is.

Still cameras are a big part as well because you are able to take pictures of what you are doing and use them as feed back and where you can improve. On top of this camcorder are the most important part of filming because they are what make your film with different shots like panning and POV's because they create different moods and give different impressions.

What I have learnt from this experience is it is a lot harder to make a film then what it actually looks like. I have gained many skills from it all, for example i have learnt how to use a camera in the right way for the right situation, I have also learnt how to cut shots at the right points and where to add effects.

media evaluation question 2


How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Howler shows the gender of man to be a number of things.

Secretive






This character is secretive because at the beginning of the film he is intimidated very easily and he is fearful then he is the feared at the end by the enemy in the closing seconds of the opening.

 Thuggish

This character is seen as a very intimidating man because of the whole “hood” stereotype, although its not a hood his face is only half shown and the black jumper adds to this effect because he stands out in the snow, the thuggish is also shown by the way the character walks, he swings his shoulders back and forth for a menacing view.


False

This character is also shown as false because before character 1 faces character 2, character 2 is mugging character 1 and hitting him but when character 1 faces character 2 he is scared out of his mind and tries to run away.






How the young are shown

The generation of young people are shown as negative mainly, this is the case because character 2 is a complete thug and is horrid in the first half but he is then scared of his victim and character 1 is negative because he deals with the mugging in the wrong way although we don’t see what he does we can get an idea from the ending.
