My pieces Relation to real Media.

When i started my The Truth piece i initially intended to use popular producers and actors, but still keep in the sci-fi genre. Before and during the making of this piece i thought it would work, though when i showed my teacher he said the nature of my editing clashed with my choice of actors and producers. Because my film, including it's soundtrack and other media such as images and videos wasn't in the best quality, so it didn't look like it had particularely high production values, which a film with popular actors would have. The piece looked like it was aiming at audiances of cult movies, though it did stick to story and have continuous running action. By making the choice to use these famous actors in credits but have strong caracteristics in cult movie i was chalanging the media, in that i was saying i could combine the two genre expecations. I got inspiration from Paranormal Activities, though that film didn't use particularely well known actors.

So after some thinking i had two choices, change the nature of my film and editing, or change the choice of actors to slightly less known ones. I chose to change the actors, because i was really happy with the way my piece went and looked. I also made this decision in the end so that my film would be easier to market and distribute. Aswell as changing the actors i made some small editing changes to make the piece look a litle cleaner as far as editing. Though the storyline and continuation remained the same, and i was pleased with my final works.
