Evaluation 3

Lighting:
Because we were a low budget company we didnt have the money and resources to create professional lighting so we used our knowledge of the layout of lights in the factory to create what he had envisioned. The low key lighting creates fear and tension as in the dark, people become very vulnerable as they are unaware of their surroundings. The shot where the character walks from darkness to light creates a silohette, a clever shot used in many thrillers such as when Freddie Kruger is introduced in 'Nightmare on Elm Street'. It creates a feeling of a mystery about the situation as you can see the character but not clearly, a metaphor for not seeing the whole picture.

Who would watch the Film?
The film was aimed at people aged between 15 and 24 years, this was mainly because of the themes that were involved in the plan for the film. Films that are aimed at this particular age group usually contain themes such as comedy, romance, horror, murder etc. Most of the the themes we used fell into this category. Therefore we decided to aim it at this age group, also that group is the most popular cinema going group.

Media Institution Distributions:
As we are a low/no budget company it would be proposterus to think that it could achieve the same status that higher budget films achieve such as cinema showings and DVD's. It would be much more realistic to assume that institutions such as 'MySpace', 'Facebook', 'Bebo', 'YouTube' and other online sharing sites would distribute our thriller on their pages. Many people post short films on the internet and though not earning money they are still earning recognition which can then lead to actual filming jobs. The sites would be perfect for our film as it costs nothing to post a video on the internet, so our non-existant budget wouldn't be affected.
