Evaluation - Media distribution companies question?
Overture Films, this distribution company would be a company that would distribute our film because they have distributed many thrillers, like Law Abiding Citizen (2009).
Warner Bros. - this distribution company would distribute our film as they also distribute a wide range of genre's like thrillers, like A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010 Pre-production) which is produced by Michael Bay who would also be a good producer for our film as he produces many thrillers such as The Unborn (2009), Friday the 13th (2009) and Friday the 13th Part 2 (2010 - Pre-production).

Evaluation - How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Our main character follows the conventions of a psychological thriller, as the character is represented as vulnerable and in some ways unaware of what is going to happen during her dream. This is similar to the professional film 'Physco' by Alfred Hitchcock as during the shower scene in 'Physco' there is shown a young female who is unaware of what is going to happen.
The main character is a young female, we chose it to be a female as we thought that it would make her seem vulnerable towards the audience. We also chose to put her in a floral dress to show that she is an average person in the street, and although you can't see the colour as we made it into black and white, it shows innocence and also again emphasises vulnerablity.

Rough Cut Feedback
Camera Work
The camera work is really good due to the variety of shots. The shots of the girl in the bed is really good, however it would of been better as a high angle shot. The 360 degree rotation shot is really good. The first small title would be better placed to the bottom left of the screen as the background is black.
When trying to film the shots of the girl in the bed, we tried to do a high angle shot of Catherine in the bed by placing the tripod onto the bed but it caused the camera to wobble and move when we didn't want it to, and the shot that we have in our opening is the highest that we can get the tripod from the ground. However we also agree with the comment about the first small title being in the wrong place, and for our final we will move it.
Editing
-Good use of editing
-Some of the titles are too big also there is too many names
-Good use of black and white to show it's a dream
-Flickering between the location is very good
For the titles we were going to break up the titles and have them flashing upon the screen however we ran out of time and weren't able to do it.
Sound
-The music helps create suspense and mystery
-The music needs to be more smooth
-The start of the section in the graveyard feels like there needs to be some speech and background noise in the beginning.
We agree that the sounds needs to be more smooth because it jumps in a lot of different places, for our final thriller opening we would like to re-work our music and spend more time on it. Unfortunately we don't think that we'll be able to recapture the background noise of the graveyard as we are not allowed but on location, so to overcome this we are planning to record other sound effects.
Mise En Scene
-Good use of props
Conventions
-No Villain
We disagree with this being a convention because we decided to do a psychological thriller which doesn't need a villain as we think that her psychological problems are her villain and we need another actor/actress.

Rough Cut
When we watched our rough cut through we decided that our opening scene of Catherine sleeping is too long. We also decided that Catherine should walk up to her own grave then realise that it is her.
