A2 Short Film: Dream

This is my A2 short film.




Question 4 Part 2

New Digital Media is rising, it has changed the way how media is viewed in the different forms in the media industry from TV, radio and posters. Social networks like Facebook and Twitter have enabled a faster way of synergy to change the way of promoting. Due to this expansion, people around the world are enabled to view content faster than TV advert viewings for example. On the other hand, new digital media is  still growing and only being  recent to others however it has changed the way users see it with the change of synergy as it has increased the capabilities of the media industry today. 

David Gauntlett in 2007 states: 

"New digital media have fundamentally changed the ways in which we engage with all the media"

Question 3 Part 7

From my audience feedback, I've learnt that my short film has created a positive impact towards my target audience. From most of my questionnaire feedback, the plot was understandable and one admired the use of no music in the opening scene as it "made you question what will happen next?". I've identified that due to the age rate of the cast it made  interest to my target audiences age group that made a positive approach. Responses like "inspirational" and others have agreed it looks professional shows I have obtained my intention of making a understandable and fluent short film.
