Media awards review

Best year 12 media prodution ...(The Outsider) . firstly for a year 12 production it has to be credited for it's video editing and great understanding of their genre. The plot of the innocent school girl who gets raped and then returns to get her revenge may be the typical storyline but the way they had built up the suspense gave it a extra boost. The protaganist of the revenge character who has the mad and insane look to kill was portrayed by having the girl wear grey contacts,long black hair ,evil smile and the ripped old clothing and some sort of weapon to help her. The actress of her role was great as her transformation was unexpected and shocking to audiences. The dim lighting throughout helped with the iconography and the camera shots used in the trailer were greatly thought about I.e when the guy washes his face and looks into the mirror noticing the girl standing behind him was well thought of and practises. Furthermore the sound was also key in making it outstanding as the Scene of when the girl was sitting on the floor and then we hear digetic sound of her screaming made audiences fear her character and see/hear her pain . Overall ***** (10/10)


Best year 13 media production...(Detention).the best thing about the production had to be the original and creative narative of a student teacher affair of which the student gets over obssessive and will do anything to get him all to herself. The story line is the main thing that shocks and anticipates audiences into watching more of it. The actors are again chosen carefullY so that the student is attractive,young,and appealing to the male gaze .however we then see the other side to her which shocks us. The setting for the production is again cleverly planned with the typical student teacher locations . Another key factor of the production which probably still is why it is so remembered is the scene of the teachers wife being dragged from beneath a table, and her piercing scream . However this may have been cleverly though of however the concept seems very similar to paranormal activity where the very same thing happens. That us probably an e.b.I. Moreover camera shots were fabulous i.e the student watching the wife outside the window whilst shes washing dishes is again cleverly shot and planned. Overall *** (8/10)
