Creative Critical Reflection #2

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

    My media product is targeted towards horror/ thriller genre enthusiasts around the ages of 15-25 as "the gender profiles for horror movies are women being around roughly 42% and men are 58%" for these ages according to Gilbey, Alex. "Genre: Horror Films." cmp alex gilbey, 2015, cmpalexgilbey.weebly.com/uploads/3/8/8/7/38878453/horror_film_research.pdf. This film will specifically be geared towards individuals who prefer the psychological aspect to frightening situations as they may feel as it provides an uneasy familiar feeling. During the beginning of the production I choose to utilize the cold lighting in my bathroom similar to the light you would see within a hospital, I also ensured that the environment and space I utilized was organized cautiously as I felt it better represented the character. Each shot taken within the bathroom additionally left out his face until the close up in the mirror to provide my audience with anticipation. Each also began slow and quickly faded into more aggressive behavior to represent his emotional and mental state. Then the class room scenes wide shots and medium shot were used to represent the emptiness of the room and the proximity and contrast in personality and behavior between the student and teacher. 

    For my production company Phantom Productions we have released our film opening on YouTube to gage audience reactions in order to understand where we stood after going through the comments left on the video we would schedule to refilm our production to abide to the commentary we deem as fit or beneficial and then post that newly filmed edition to a film competition. To ensure that audiences are able to view my content I would also publish my opening onto Vimeo through Amazon Prime Video Direct.
