Introduction Our as task was to create a media product that

appeals to our targeted audience of teenagers. After weeks of planning and filming we have got feedback from our targeted audience.

Our genre is teenage comedy. This is because we enjoy movies like American pie and 21 jump street etc.

In my group I worked with Jayesh, Krishan and Shyam.

Production timeline

Planning Filming Rough cut editing

Audience feedbackFinal cut improvements

The Planning include things like the synopsis, script and setting. The Filming includes to fine a day in which the location was free to use. We also

had to get a camera that was good enough for filming. Rough cut editing is just putting the clips together that we filmed so we have a

rough idea of the final piece. The Audience feedback is playing the rough but to our targeted audience and

getting feedback from them. Final cut improvements is just improving our rough cut so it looks good with

affects.

Research Our research consists on opening scenes of

similar genres of what we chose. We took surveys from our targeted audience. I had to analyse the opening scene of Anuvahood.
