Evaluation question 6
What have you learned about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
In the process of producing our film I have used many technologies, some of which I had previously used and some which were completely new to me.
Firstly, the use of google blogger was a new platform of sharing group work for me. I had never used blogger before but soon got used to the idea of digitally producing work and sharing it over our blog rather than doing it manually. I used several different pieces of software to produce some of my work including Power Point, Microsoft Word and Prezi which I used on my laptop. Prezi was a new piece of software I had never used previously which I found very useful due to its good layout which is easy to navigate around and produce entertaining slides.
During the actual shooting of our film, as well as our questionnaire and preliminary exercise, we used a DV camera as these were the cameras provided to us from college. I had used other similar cameras before at home so easily got to grips with the handling and function of the camera. We used this camera with a tripod for all of the shots in our film as there was no need for a hand held shot in any of our scenes. The DV camera was used successfully and gave me better experience with a camera and has made me feel more confident in using one in the future.
Furthermore, we used Final Cut Express to edit our film, questionnaire and preliminary exercise together. I had never used the software before so it was a new experience for me as well as every other member of my group, but we soon learned how to use the software to edit the shots we had took with the DV camera and to firstly put them in chronological order. Once we accomplished this task we used the software to add effects to our shots such as the title sequence 'RUNNER' which appears in the back drop of the shot. Once we gained more confidence using the software to edit we synchronized music to our shots and edited them again more effectively with the use of match on actions and parallel editing in our attacking scene for example, to speed up the pace of the action and make it more entertaining for viewers with a tense build up through the use of the parallel edits.

Evaluation Question 5
How did you attract/address your audience?
When we were in the pre-production and planning stage of our film, we were contemplating which market to aim our film at depending on the narrative of our film and some of the features we would display in it. Once many ideas had been generated through the group we decided to base our film around one particular idea. We outlined numerous features which our crime thriller film would have in it, such as violence, scenes involving drugs or possibly drug taking and strong language as these are some conventions of crime thrillers. Once this was established we looked at what age certificate would be age appropriate for our film according to the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). We decided that an age certificate of 15 or above would be suitable for our film as we thought that our target audience would be males aged 15-24 as the nature of the film is more likely to appeal to that specific age group. However, we didn't want to dismiss females from our target audience so set then firmly on any one aged 15-24. Also, we thought that an age rating of 15 would be the most beneficial for the success of the film as more people would have easier access to watch the film if the age rating is at 15 as oppose to 18, which would narrow our target audience and make it considerably smaller. The more people who would have access to the film the better, as this way more people would be made aware of the film and possibly recommended to watch it by friends and peers through word of mouth, which all contributes to the possible success of the film.

After this in the pre-production phase of our film, we did more planning and research to address our audience by distributing several questionnaires to members of the public around Barnsley, to see if our film idea highlighted any major problems or concerns when presented to a potential viewer. The questionnaire results showed no obvious major issues regarding our film idea and the majority of candidates said that our film would relate to 'teenagers'.
When plotting the first two minutes of our film we decided to have an attack scene where two opposing gang members would have some sort of violent encounter. Initially, we were going to use a knife as a key element of this scene but were unable to obtain a knife prop so incorporated the use of a dumb gun that was available to us, so the element of severe violence was still there. We decided to use the element of violence in the first scene as this would engage our audience and draw them in making them want to watch on and see what happens between the two oppositions and the police force, after the enigma of a random 'set up' attack is established in the very first scene.
In our audience feed back results, a few people commented on the fact that the violence we used in the opening scene engaged them into watching the rest of the clip to see if they would be made aware of why the attack took place and who the characters involved were. A few people commented also on the name of our film 'runner', which has an ambiguous feel to it and can be interpreted in different ways. The film could be about someone who runs a large drug circle or someone or even the police officer who runs an investigation trying to catch the criminals. The ambiguity of our title would attract in our audience as they will be unaware about what the film is about so may watch the opening scenes due to the title alone.

Evaluation question 1
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Many crime thriller films, such as Adulthood, Shifty and Manors, all successful films similar to ours are often focused on the criminals rather than the police force. However, our film is orientated around the police and Bloor's Struggle for his identity with the risk of losing his job and also the sanctuary of the town where he operates. This challenges the typical conventions which real media products have created such as the above listed films. By showing the opposite side of the story, we could possibly open up the target audience by making our film sound more appealing for a vaster amount of people.
Furthermore, many crime thrillers show how the embedded intelligence of the criminals helps them to out wit the police so they can always stay a step ahead of the game. However, our film again challenges this convention of crime thrillers as it does have a psychological edge to the narrative of the film, but shows this element from the perspective of DCI Bloor and how he conquers the case to bring the criminals to justice and restore his reputation as a hero among the police.
Although our film does challenge some crime thriller conventions it does yet again satisfy and complement many other conventions at the same tine. For example, it is a standered crime thriller convention for there to be a shortage of violence (excluding mafia based films), where characters don't often interact in a violent way in order to maintain tension within the narrative, so that the drama which is built up throughout the film can culminate at the end of the where there is an abundance of violence and outbreak.
Also, lots of tense and noticeable non-diabetic sounds such as up beat loud music is often used to add to the ethos of the film highlighting the atmospheric emotion and feel in the film. Often in crime thrillers similar to ours, tense music is used to give off the impression that something bad is going to happen, just like we used in the alley scene before one of the drug runners is mugged by another. This created the emotion we were hoping to create by complementing the shots making a feeling of danger apparent to the audience.

Evaluation Question 2
2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Throughout our film, two opposing work forces, the police detective DCI Bloor and the street level drug runners are shown in very different manors. Firstly, the costumes of both oppositions completely juxtapose and contrast each other, implying straight away when both characters are introduced that they are set apart from each other and both lead very different lives. By using stereotypical costumes we could highlight some of the social groups which are represented in particular ways by other media products, such as the drug runners who are portrayed in a very similar way in other films like ours such as Adulthood, where young adolescents are depicted as criminals who all wear dark clothing, hoods and baseball caps, just like our characters in our film.

Also, the locations which are used in our film help to represent the two different social groups, as DCI Bloor operates and conducts the majority of his work in a calm quiet office where he is safe and away from dangers on the street, whereas the drug runners are shown working around disreputable shady areas, where they are at threat of being mugged or attacked as the opening of our film displays.

Location scouting (Recce sheet)
The shop named 'Harringtons' with the green front to the left of the image is the cafe which we will be using in the opening scene of our film, when Lewis Lock enters the cafe to exchange a few words with an anonymous character before receiving a bag full of narcotics and exiting the cafe before walking off towards a near by alleyway. This location, along with all others we have found are found in the centre of Barnsley, in South Yorkshire. This is very convenient as all of the shots are in one area and will also add to the verisimilitude of our film, because all of the locations are genuine places where events as such could take place in real life.
This is the alleyway which Lewis Lock will walk down after leaving the cafe before getting attacked by a petty criminal, Curtis, who strikes Lock over the head forcing him to plummet to the floor at the far side of the alley. Curtis then grabs the bag of narcotics and fleas to a get away car which is waiting for him at the bottom of the alley, parked on the side of a street.
This is the end of the alleyway where Lewis Lock will get attacked by the thug Curtis, before he fleas into the getaway car which is parked across the street. The car will then drive away down Eastgate street, before making a left turn and going out of shot. The camera will then return to the bottom of the alleyway where we see Lewis Lock's body laid lifeless on the floor.

Treatment (full film)
Title:
Duration: We have decided that our full film will last 105 minutes, as this lengthy duration would allow for times of suspense and tension creating the desired atmosphere for our crime thriller film, creating the desired affect on our audience.
Audience: Our film will be target towards anyone aged 15 or above. This large target market will result in more potential consumers, meaning that our film could be, potentially, more successful. However, a specific sub group of 16 to 35 year olds will be the main target audience, as the themes of drugs, violence and adolescence are most likely to appeal to this specific age group. Furthermore, our film will still appeal to many more people out of this subgroup, resulting in a broad target audience.
Distribution: Our chosen distribution company is Entertainment One Distribution UK, as these are an independent UK film distribution company so will therefore understand the ethos of independent UK crime thriller films, as they have previously distributed similar films to ours, such as 'Looper'. Because of this they will have a very good understanding of what aspects of our film will appeal to certain film, so will be able to use their expertise to marketing and distribute our film as efficiently as possible, resulting in as many people with in our target market seeing it as possible, in turn making our film as successful as possible.
Our film will be distributed in as many different ways as possible, across many different forms of exhibition such as cinemas, home entertainment and online streams, to make the film as accessible as possible so more potential consumers have access to the film. Through the recent developments of technological convergence, consumers will be able to view our film across a variety of platforms such as computers, mobile phones or tablets. In essence, the more people who can view our film, the more successful it will be.
Synopsis: In a large urban town in the north of England, a sudden drug epidemic has swiped across the town causing social awareness about organised crime groups, consisting of drug suppliers and small scale criminals to rise at a huge rate. Following numerous reports and incidents, DCI Bloor is given an ultimatum from the Chief Inspector, either crack the case and begin to make arrests to bring down the notorious drug lord at the top chain before it is too late and the known associates who could help DCI Bloor take down the drug circle are picked off and assassinated so the secrecy of the whole operation remains, or be forced to resign as the case is now in the scrutinising eyes of the public domain, so someone will have to be held responsible if nothing is done.

Possible distributors - eOne films UK
As my film is a UK based movie, which will all be filmed with in the UK, I thought it would be more appropriate if an independent UK film distributor would distribute the film, as their understanding, knowledge and expertise would be better suited to a UK based film, instead of large Hollywood produced movies, as they are likely to have distributed smaller scale films such as ours, so will have a better understanding of how to distribute the film as efficiently as possible, to as many people as they can nationally.
Furthermore, as the independent distribution company isn't one of the big six, such as Warner Brothers, Paramount or Universal, budgets will be considerably lower, so the film will be able to be focused more directly towards our target audience, rather than a much broader market, meaning that my film will be more efficiently distributed, and money won't be wasted.
Firstly, one independent UK distributor which caught my attention was eOne films UK. This distributor have successfully exhibited films in a variety of different ways, such as in the cinemas, home entertainment (DVD, catch up T.V etc) and digitally so the films can be viewed online. Because of this, if my film was distributed by this company, it could be distributed across a variety of different exhibitions, meaning it would be easily accessible for viewers as it could be viewed in a wide range of different ways. The more potential consumers who have access to the film, the more successful it would be.
Another point is that eOne films UK are partners with Summit Entertainment who are one of the big 6 distributors,
Also, entertainment one films UK have distributed several films which are similar to ours, such as 'Looper', 'Bullet to the head' and 'Sweeney'. All of these films portray themes of violence, which are aimed towards similar audiences as my film is. Even the film posters for these films show the main characters with guns in their hands, suggesting that these films are very similar to mine. As these films also received high ratings, they are regarded as well produced films, which appeal to many people. Therefore, the distribution company must obtain a stable reputation for distributing films of a high quality. If my film was distributed by this company, the strong ethos and reputation associated with eOne films would create a hysteria around my film, making viewers keen to watch it before it is even marketed. 'Looper' and 'Sweeney' are also targeted towards similar age groups to my film, as they have an age certificate rating of 15, as certified by the British Board of Film Classification. Therefore, eOne films must have experience in targeting films towards similar audiences, so they would be able to efficiently target my film towards the right audience in which it will appeal to, giving the film the largest chance possible to gain success.
Although Entertainment One UK has distributed films similar to mine, they have also distributed many other films which contrast ours, appealing to a much broader audience. Massively popular films to the liking of 'Twilight Breaking Dawn pt 2' and 'The Perks Of Being A Wallflower' have been distributed by eOne films nationally across the UK in corporation with their partners Summit Entertainment. Again this proves the point that the company have obtained a very good reputation as many of the films which they have distributed have been huge successes generated millions of pounds not only in the UK, but globally due to the blanket release which was funded by Summit Entertainment.

Full film storyline
After a drug deal takes an abrupt turn when Lewis Lock, a money obsessed, self confident teenager gets robbed of the drugs he has collected briefly after meeting a high class drug lord in a local cafe.
Following a recent split with his new wife of only two years, D.C.I Bloor is left with nothing but his work on an intensive job which he tackles with great amounts of passion. After a call comes in from an on duty local officer after catching two young adolescents speeding in a car, Bloor instantly knows that this may be the lead he has been looking for as the passenger in the car was found with a bag containing large amounts of high class drugs and a weapon with blood on it. A body which lays unconscious with a laceration to the head is soon then reported when a civilian finds Lewis Lock's body laid on the car park floor soon after the attack. With Lock being a known criminal with previous conviction with drug related incidents, Bloor knows this is the key he needs to bring down the top supplier which has been causing the rapid drug epidemic across the town.
Following an interview at the police station with the suspect who attacked Lock, the suspect is summoned for preliminaries at court, before being released on bail with a set court date. In the mean time Lewis lays in hospital with a visitor. However this is not the type of visitor Lewis was expecting. He came not with a 'get well soon' card but with an ultimatum that will set him on a dangerous task to keep his job, and possible his life. The boss of the drug operation leaves Lewis in the hospital after informing him of the mission he must under take. Infiltrate the rival drug circle and bring down their operation to become the largest organised crime group in the area, by eliminating the competition.
Elsewhere Bloor has gone to the criminal on bail's house (Curtis) to try and get some more details out of him as he could be holding vital information, but gets there to find his dead body. He phones to let his assistant know and leaves aggravated as the forensic team turn up . He goes back to the station and asks a worker there to give him the phone details of the dead criminals phone. He made 37 phone calls to the same number on the day of the attack, he asks his worker to trace the phone call. He then goes to the location the phone is at, it is a flat and knocks on the door to get an answer from an intoxicated man. But Bloor knew that something has to be done so he didn't play by the rules. Daniel grabbed the man and threatened him into telling him what he wanted the drugs for and found out that he was trying to take down the man he was after by selling his drugs for himself. He gets a lead on the big take down and makes a big plan for a drug raid on the same night Lewis was planning to take the business. On the night a massive gun fight kicks off ending in Lewis getting shot and Daniel cracking his case.
