Since posting our video on Facebook a few days ago now we've received on the whole a positive feel back from our friends. We got a few likes and comments saying how much they enjoyed it and how they wanted to see more and find out what happened in the rest of the film. They thought we'd done a great job and actually felt it looked quite professional, which we were very pleased with as this was one of our aims!

Who would be the audience for your media product?

Our perfect audience member would be a TOWNIE.

• This tribe is the core of the British Population
• They like a variety of entertainment
• They like R 'n' B, mainstream hip-hop and pop music, but this isn't a main focus
• They are very into talent contestants, celebs and soaps.
• Holidays and socialising are a big thing also

Tribe Icons:

Cheryl Cole, Danny Dyer, John Terry, Lacey Turner, Scott Mills and Rhianna



Brands and Media Consumption:

How they dress:

Looking at this type of tribe it seems the type of audience member that every film would try to be attracting as they are the core of our British Population and are into everything new and modern.

Our type of drama comedy film would attract them for a number of reasons:

1. For starters the dramatic side of the film would attract these tribe members as they seem to watch a lot of dramatic soaps on TV.

2. They are already very top heavy on the Cinema side which is good for us as they seem the type of people who would go to the cinema regularly and try out and watch different types of films and ours as this quality of being original and different.

3. They are also very into their media so would be good judges for our type of film when finding out what works and what doesn't.

4. They are very 'trendy' and are the people to ask when wanting to know what is happening in the entertainment world at that moment. So this would be great when they advertise our movie and spread the word to their friends, families etc.

5. Their personality is very relaxed and easy-going and this would pair well with our genre as it is a funny, light hearted drama comedy.

Evaluation Question 3.

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Evaluation Question 2.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

When we first started creating the character of Gordon we never decided to base him around a previous character as we wanted to be different and original but subconsciously it happened and we soon realised how easily media influences certain stereotypical characters and no matter how hard you try to create a different original character it can always be stereotyped into a category. For instance, Forrest Gump fits perfectly into our character of Gordon Twiginam with the similar characteristics of both characters having very geeky personality to the similar story of being a failure to a big succes, even right down to the costume they match up well with the suit combination. Regarding the props used for the character, we decided to go for a brown satchel bag that Gordon should wear throughout the opening titles to inflict the idea of him trying to be 'cool' and sophisticated. This was a slight twist on the character of Mr.Gump as he never tries to be something he's not whereas Gordon does. Our locations also completely contrasted, to the town of Georgia in North Carolina being used for Forrest Gump and ours taking place in Britain with our main school building of Gordonstoun House trying to represent the idea of a big high rise office building. I guess in the end we were extremely influenced with our character choices but when it came to other points of mise-en-scene, such as props and locations we tried to make these slightly more original but only slightly as you can always compare something easily to something that's already be done.
