Question 1:How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

ANSWER QUESTION 1 My product represents social groups or issues by showing a real life situation on how people can get cyberstalked in their everyday lives. MY product gives a real world example of many cases of young girls being watch, stalked, and kidnapped. My product fits into the typical standards of a thriller because it has a scary factor that kind of comes out of nowhere and is very unexpected to the audience.

Question 2: How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

ANSWER QUESTION 2 My product engages with the audience because it has a plot twist which really catches the viewers eye. When the audience begins to watch the film it give a happy impression, but then out of nowhere the thriller aspect comes in and it takes a big turn. My product is hard to predict but that unexpected factor makes the audience want to stay and watch.

ANSWER QUESTION 2 PART 2 I feel that to get my film to the theater I would need a good trailer and a good company that would have interest in my product. The company that would produce my film would be “Paramount Pictures”. The reason for me choosing this company is because my film is a thriller, and this company has produced many thriller films. “Paramount Pictures” have produced films like 10 Clover field Lane, Project Almanac, and Allied. This is a great company to produce because it is very popular and have had great hits.

Question 3: How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

My production skills developed a lot throughout this project My production skills developed a lot throughout this project. As a film maker I personally feel that I have grown a lot from the various things this experience has taught me. For example a few things I learned are : I learned how to cut film clips and get rid of little details that needed to be removed. Also the same thing with the music I learned how to mute or fade sounds and cute or split sounds and clips. I learned how to add titles with my editing program which was great when I needed to find right placements for where they should appear and fade away. I learned how to import music and add it on my timeline using a flash drive. Lastly one of the biggest things I learned was how to upload to YouTube which I had never done before, and it turned out to be easier than it looks but it was also good to learn how.

Question 4:How did you integrate technologies-software, hardware and online-in this project?

ANSWER QUESTION 4 In this project I integrated a lot of technology because it is how I was even able to create my product. I know nowadays we all for the most part know how to use computers and cameras, but what really matters is what these things are useful for. For example, throughout my whole film process I need to blog about my filming and editing progress and keep my blog up to date, but to be able to do this I needed to know how to use it. Instead of having a plain old blog I was able to learn how to insert photos inside the blog or as a featured image which really helps your blog stand out. Another thing that I learned was about titles and how to really use the correct ones for your theme using a website called Art of the titles. This website just helped me understand more on what I should be doing.
