In what ways does your film use,develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
• “Searching Fate” uses conventions of real media products asthe film reflects on our chosen genre, Teenage Drama.
• As a group our aim was to represent stereotypical not only
teenagers, but “gangsters” in today’s society.
•The setting and props we used in our film help to identify the
genre as we chose similar features from real media products,following the stereotypical views of teenagers today.
• The music used, “Tinnie Tempah – Tears” is a typical song for
this genre and therefore develops conventions of real media
products.
• “Searching Fate” develops real media productions as we
focused on things which we found in other teenage dramas andtook on board.
• It can be said we challenged the conventions of real media
products as we did not have any violence in our film as usually
in teenage dramas based in a school building always have
violence involved.

How does your filmrepresent particular social groups?• “Searc
hing Fate” represents a particular social group – “Teenage
Gangsters” however these gangsters are girls.
• We succeeded in this by the script we used, the way we made our main
character act and the props our main character wore.
• Our script represented our social group as we included dialect which
matched the group of teenage girls as this would help bring a feeling of
unity amongst the social group and shared identity. Our aim was also to
allow this script to relate to our audience and therefore we matched the
speech patterns to that specific social group.
• Our main character represented our social group through her body
language, as the camera follows her into the school you can easily tell
what type of character role she plays.
• Our setting and mise-en-scene we used represents our social group as
it is filmed in a girls school and shows that they are still young teenagers.
We also included a range of different races in our film.
• Our chosen music, Tinnie Tempah – “Tears” represents our social
group as it is from a Hip-Hop/RnB genre and therefore represents the
teenage girls.
• We included a Teacher role in our film. This represented our particular
social group as their attitudes towards the teacher were shown through
the body language and dialect used.

What kind of media institutionsmight distribute your film and why?
•Financiers – As our film is based in a London environment, we
feel The UK Film Council would most likely finance our film. It is
the best financier for our film as they consider all aspects in a
film, “… ensuring that the economic, cultural and
educational aspects of film are effectively represented…”
•Producers – As our film is British, it will most likely be
produced by Working Title, as they are a British Production.
•Distributors – A British based company would be the bestdistributors for our film. The UK Film Council would distribute
our film not just in the UK but also world wide, allowing people
elsewhere to have an insight into Teenage lives in the UK.
•Exhibitors – “Searching Fate” would most probably be shown
in mainstream cinemas such as Cineworld, Odeon and
Omniplex.
•Retailers – “Searching Fate” will be able to be brought into
high street entertainment stores such as HMV and Virgin.
•Regulators – After looking at the BBFC ratings of films, they
would give our film a 15 certificate. “Searching Fate” comes
under most of the guidelines included on the BBFC website andtherefore is aimed at a teenage audience starting from the age

Who would be the audiencefor your media product?
• “Searching Fate” is aimed at a teenage audience.
• Our age range is 15-18, as this age group are teenagers and
therefore it is easy for them to relate to the film.
• Therefore, our set target audience was 15-18 year old
teenagers from a middle class social group.
• We felt as a group this would be a reasonable age range four
our targeted audience as they are the only set of people whocan best relate to the film. This would then allow reasonable
feedback.

How did youattract/address your audience?
• The body language of our main characters helped attract and
address our audience as we played typical roles from that
specific social group, e.g. the “spudding” of the fist with another
to greet each other is a typical gesture made my gangsters
which we used.
• The dialect we used helped us to attract our audience as it
related to their social group, expressing a sense of unity.
• The title of our film, “Searching Fate” addressed and attracted
our audience. We felt a short title would be more noticeable
amongst our audience. The title related to our targeted audience
as we felt it is a key real life situation most teenagers go
through.
• Another feature which attracted and addressed our audience isour choice of music. As the song “Tears” by Tinnie Tempah is a
popular soundtrack it helped to target our audience.
• Our location attracted our audience as they are able to
recognize the setting and relate to it.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing
your film?• As a group we have learnt how to set up a camera and tripod
and how to use the iMovie on the iMac.
• As a group we became familiar with the camera and tripod, we
found the more we practised with them the easier it was to work
with. They allowed us to film our shots steadily and allowed a
constant flow through our film, giving us an excellent result.• The iMovie was the software we used to edit our shots, add
music and titles. At first it was a tricky software for us, however
as we soon became familiar with it we learnt how to extract an
un-wanted audio, cut specific bits in a shot, add sound onto our
shots and also add different effects in to our shots. As it was our
first time with the software it was hard, however after finishingour project we feel confident with the programme.

Looking back at your preliminary task, what doyou feel you have learnt in
the progression from it tothe full product?
• After our preliminary task, I personally feel we have learnt to
use several different shooting techniques in our filming, for
example shot reverse shot. There was times when we used
some of the filming techniques automatically after our preliminary task. As a group we have improved in our
understanding of the different camera shots and understanding
of mise-en-scene. As we progressed from our preliminary task,
we learnt when to use certain techniques, like the 180 degree
rule. From doing our preliminary task and working up to our full
product we have learnt how to edit on the iMac e.g. adding
transition effects, making a shot faster/slower and cutting aspecific part of a shot. As a group we was able to realise each of
our abilities, which helped us when editing our film as we took
this on board when taking different roles.
