The shots are immediately rapid and the zooms even quicker, this makes the film seem more exciting and urgent, which will make the viewer feel giddy and interested. The clips fade in and out quickly to not give a full view of what it is they are showing, which again creates tension and enigma to maintain the viewers interest and provoke excited emotions. Sharp images flash on and off screen to build even more suspense and clips of human lungs and skulls are used to connote that the car is accelerating a man’s vital organs, depicting intense excitement and adrenaline rushes. Enigmatic images are used to create a relationship between the connotations and the cars which gives impressions about things such as speed and importance.

Purpose
The purpose of our product was to create an entertaining show for our target audience, mostly from the lower years of school. This is due to the general lack of interest of the higher years in the school. We created the program to include material created by students in our group to use as part of our show. This included a few videos that we had created for our single camera unit. In my opinion, I think that we achieved our purpose as our multi camera production was one of the most successful of our class. I saw the reactions to the product from the audience and they seemed very positive towards our show.
Audience
While working with the Visual mixer. I received first hand feedback from the audience, as i caught their initial reactions to our videos. The audience were vastly in support of our show, the Toy Story 3 trailer proved to be extremely popular with a wide range of the audience, from year 7's and Sixth formers alike greatly enjoyed the videos used in our product. Another great audience reaction was in response to our Zombie video, this video, which featured a presenter and scientist reporting on missing bodies, used a parodical slant to the satire we used on the zombie/horror genre. This appealed to our audience, regardless of age. We attracted the audience's attention at the end of the 15 minute show, in which we played MC Hammer's 'Can't touch this', the video had the audience on their feet dancing along as the show closed. In my opinion, the general audience reaction to our show, was largely positive, huge amount of the audience grasped the preferred reading of our overall show, which was a comedic and fun fueled experience. Although, the audience's ages were between 11 and 18, so there's bound to be a few students who will take a negotiated view towards some of the material which we incorporated in the show. We attempted to be as diverse as possible, including serious material, such as The Silent Treatment VT which followed a young woman who tries to deal with bullying, problems with her boyfriend and alcohol abuse. But, there will be others who have opposed views towards some of our video's, who will not enjoy them at all, but would stick around to see other video's such as the Zombie VT.
Representation issues
In our show we strived to make the product as diverse and balanced as possible in order to show that we would not discriminate in our group or in any of our products. We showed this by involving people with our videos and our final product who were of both genders as well as different ethnical backgrounds, without using any of the stereotypes associated with gender and race.
Technical issues
as we had all had some experience using all of the relevant technology we needed to create the show. However, there was a glitch in the computer that caused some of the sound to not play properly, meaning we had to quickly restart the VT to make it work properly.
Conventions/Narrative
In our product we had to make the show entertaining and accessible to the younger members of our school, therefore we did not include too much complex dialogue or other elements that would have been too advanced for the younger students. We also had to refrain form using any profane language or gestures, that we may have gotten away with had the audience been comprised of older students.
Self evaluation
I think that my personal performance as a part of a team was very good, as I managed to react to pressure during the computer error as well as professionally operate the machinery in order to ensure that the show ran smoothly in conjunction with the sound operator.
