1. Our product sufficiently meets the conventions of real life media product, i believe it is realistic and effective, in what we set out to do.There is a close-up shot of the text message that she had received. There is also digetic sound throughout the product such as the birds singing, the wind blowing and the wood snapping in the forest. This shows that there is normal everyday things happening. As the girl's father was unable to collect the girl, she had to take the easy way home by taking the short route through the forest. Our media product challenged forms through conventions of real media products by creating tension throughout, as the genre is thriller, the audience were made to believe that someone is following the girl, and certain shots such as medium and close-up are shown of the 'suspect' who is following the girl.

2.Our media product represents young people, from the age of 16 upwards. The product is exciting and easy to watch therefore it relates to this age. The main character is also of a similar age and therefore the audience should be able to relate to the product.

3. The sequence is aimed at mainstream production companies who have experince in producign thriller films. A production company such as DNA films who have made films such as 28 days later which prooved to be extremly poplular amongst young people.

4. The audience for our product would be teens, form the age of 15 to 20, hopefully because it is quite gripping it would be successful in engaging the audience, i think because the main character is also a teenager and the film is set in school it would be easier for the audience to relate to.

5. Hopefully by using the a teenage character and a storyline which would appeal to the audience, i think by also using an appealing story-line it would engage and audience of this age.

6. Throughout the Task i learnt a lot through the duration of the task, firstly i learnt how essential it is to plan the process thoroughly so that any mistake or uncertainties can be rectified easily. I also think that by using the camera, i have learnt a great deal about positioning, using a tripod, and zooming effectively.
