Analysis of feedback so far...

Since the start of our AS Media project on thrillers, Group 3 have received a number of comments, views and feedback on their blog. Before we continue with our Final project, the thriller itself, we've decided to analyze the feedback we've received so far in one post.

The first image is of a comment on the post 'Oriental horror - female characters', the second is a comment on the post 'A genre that inspires me, J-horror' Since receiving these comments, group 3 have researched further into Oriental-horror for their project. Our Oriental-Horror research can be viewed here. Although the Russian film 'inside the mirror' and Ringu are related intertexualy through their main female characters, we've found out that Ringu was actually based on a Volcano victim, her mother had predicted the eruption of the volcano but nobody belived her, it is believed to be the reason why Sadako crawls on the floor. We found this out from another comment on out blog with aidded our research, as well as researching into Japanese folklore.

We we're surprised to have received a comment on our blog from outside of our Media department. The site posted by Zack has helped us in our research, we also found his reply to a reader of his blog useful in our research on Sadako of the ring.

Our next comment is by another Candi student (whom is in a different group).  She liked that we are basing our project on oriental-horror, this also helps us with our target audience, teenagers around 16+ should be interested in our thriller. She also stated that nobody had chosen to base their probject on this sub-genre before, which makes our project unique.

Lastly we've received feedback from Tom Nguyen, a friend of Vanessa's, on our blog and via the social network Facebook. We've realizsd that the production company logo could have been longer, and hopefully will be able to re-edit the opening for our thriller. He liked the text Hangul (modern Korean alphabet), he stated that it helped to give an Oriental feel to the preliminary project, although he did not know it was Korean next not Chinese or Japanese... He was able to recognise it as an oriental writing system, which means that our viewers should also be able to recognise this. He also mentions adding more sound, and editing the prelim differently. He's given us feedback on how we can create a scarier film too. We hope to incorporate some of these ideas into our final project.

In addition, Group 3 have also be chosen as Star blog of the week, twice by the candi media department.

Prelim video feedback

As audience research is very important we thought that we should post our prelim clip on Vanessa's facebook page and ask people to comment on what they liked and what could have been improved .

Tom , a friend of  Vanessa's who does not study media at all commented giving a very descriptive breakdown on what he thought could have been improved and what he liked .

From this comment we've learnt that our title in Hangul(Korean Alphabet) with the English translation is something he likes and that we should defiantly keep that but work on it by making  it longer . Also that maybe it would be more spooky to  make objects like the see saw move just as Kiah is disappearing . Most importantly i learnt that my group needs to add more sound , We had a few technological problems which meant we lost out on time to edit and record sounds for our prelim. However we've learnt from out technological difficulties, and hope to inprove in the final project.

19 Productions - Production company logo

We've created an opening using Live Type to introduce our production company which we have decided to call 'Nineteen Productions'. The reason behind the name choice was that nineteen could represent anything, 19 deaths, 19 people, 19 murders... etc. We've also put 'nineteen productions' into Korean characters or Hangul (한글) This has been done to add a more oriental feel too our project, as we would like our final to use hangul titles.
