1)In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products.
-I shall use a Prezi to evaluate this point.
2)How does your media product represent particular social groups.
-Again I intend to use a Prezi and embed videos of different audience's asking them their opinion on the opening sequence.
3)What kind of media insitution might distribute your media product?
-I'm not 100% sure on how I shall present this. I am contemplating the use of Wix.com, this is software whereby you can make your own website. I believe this will be a very good way of presenting information.
4)Who would be the audience for your media product?
-For this I think I'm going to use a Prezi and again and present the information via that.
5)How did you attract/address your audience?
-For this I will put annotations on my Youtube video of Unforeseen Emissary.
6)What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
-For this I shall interview myself talking about each one of the technologies we used for our opening sequence.
7)Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product.
-Again for this I shall use Prezi.
This is my blog showing all the work and careful steps me and my group took in producing our opening thriller sequence.

Introducing my evaluation.
Now that I we have finished editing and finalising our final piece I am now ready answer the seven evaluation questions I have been set. There are different ways in which I shall approach answering these. Firstly I shall use the Prezi software on the internet. This offers a less con formative way of reprsenting data and answers. Its a more interactive and modern day tool. Moreover It differs from the colloquial writing of an essay and offers a more technological alternative.
I am also planning of setting up a Wix account. This is an online website creating tool, whereby I can present even more than one answer on an online database.

Title- 'Unforeseen Emissary'
We came up with an executive title for our film. We thought considering that it is a spy thriller, we should include something to do with espionage in our title. So we came up with 'Unforeseen Emissary'
Our new script, on revision is:
Smith and Johnson are both secret agents involved in espionage.
Smith: 'Glad you could make it'
Johnson:' I haven't got much time, can we hurry it up, you know I'm not supposed to be here.'
Smith:'I need you to do one more thing for me , one more mission, she'd want you to do it.'
Johnson:' She's not here anymore, I quit along time ago, i'll nee you S.'

Audience feedback on our Rough Cut
We showed our rough cut to some people in our class and asked them to say features that are good and things we need to change.
Sound: It was effective but the dialogue was drained out by the sound of traffic in the background. Also our actually dialogue was apparently not good, in the way we gave too much away for an opening sequence. So we have cut all this out of our opening sequence and are going to re-film it.
Camera Work: The camera work was very effective, a huge variety of shots and movements were used in a very effective way. The only problem was the shake of the camera when Ricardo enters the school.
Conventions: Follows the mysterious conventions of the Thriller Genre. The strange camera angles make the audeince nervus and on edge. The only concern was the reality of it at times. Such as the dialogue, however we are definately changing this.
Obviously there was no feed back on title sequence as we have not yet completed these on Motion. However they are a working progress and should be completed by the end of the week for our second edit.

Making fake blood
This was done by our group, we used the blood in the rough cut and I'm sure it will feature in our final opening sequence. It was used making flour, red food colouring, maple syrup and water
