In what ways does media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Our media product uses conventions such as 180 degree rule during the dialog and Match on action as the talent walks through the door. Continuity editing is used with a cut away shot to comply with conventional media products. Our media product doesn't use the rule of thirds very well, because there is lots of dead space above the talents as we used a shot reverse shot.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Our media product represents students as both weak and dominant towards their peers. The dominant ideology of bullying is presented in our product. It also represents students as 'truth benders' and liers.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
BBC3 would distribute our media product because our media product is targeted towards the younger generation and as I am aware, so is BBC3. Our media product is also drama/comedy based, I think BBC3 would be happy to broadcast a drama/comedy about college students.
Who would be the audience for your media product?
The audience for our media product would be the younger generation, possibly college age or maybe a bit younger.
How did you attract/address your audience?
We made our media production address our audience by making the product something they can relate to and they understand. But by putting a funny twist on it would attract the audience.
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
While using Adobe Premiere Pro 2 I have learnt that editing technology has the power to take a simple recording, enhance it in some many different ways and chop up clips to produce an amazing piece of video. However this takes time and knowledge, the knowledge of what works and what attracts the viewer, and what make a true viewing experience. I have found that using the editing program is straight forward and simple, It is knowing how cover up small mistakes and making transitions match that is the truly hard part. I believe that the only way you can learn to edit effectively is from experience, and from my experience of this media product I have learnt a great deal of how to make transitions smooth, cover up mistakes and how to avoid mistakes by thinking about every aspect while recording.

Some good use of terms and course concepts. You will need to consider each in greater detail when you move towards the main production.
However, overall your blog has a reasonable number of posts - you may want to remember that when you do the main project, some discussion of the decisions you are making (using course concepts)as you go, would be a good idea.
