Gang crime
One study for the Home Office found thatup to 6% of 10-19-year-olds belonged to a gang in England and Wales.
In 2008 Strathclyde Police estimated there were 170 gangs in Glasgow, with 3,500 gang members aged from 11 to 23. The previous year, the Metropolitan Police said there were 171 gangs in London.
Gang expert Prof John Pitts estimates some 600 to 700 young people are part of gangs in the London borough of Waltham Forest alone.
At least half of the 27 murders of teenagers in London in 2007 were gang-related, according to the Metropolitan Police. Officers in Liverpool and Manchester have said in the past that 60% of shootings are linked to gangs.
The majority of Britons will have little or no direct experience of gangs but they are still frightened and fascinated by them in equal measure.
This is why we feel it is an excellent area to link into our film

Promotion
Due to our film being of a low budget we used free ways of spreading our film online.
However if we were a high budget film we would use ideas including bus advertisements, TV adverts, trailers before Youtube clips and Newspapers
This is an example from Youtube of advertisement

Evaluation
Our director research gave us a wide range of methods of how to work and ideas. Also our research into Japanese horror helped us realise we had over stylised our film to be likes Japanese horror when we wanted a film opening more applicable to everyday life.
What do I know now I didn't know before?
We have gained a broader understanding of how to use different technologies including the Macs and iPhones, including many Apps. I personally have grown in understanding the use of transitions between clips and how to place them appropriately.
What was our greatest challenge making this film opening?
Our greatest challenge was getting our music to fit our film due to our film and music heightening in tension at different points.Also our fractured filming at the end required a fractured sound to match
Is there typical conventions in which our media product is promoted?
Yes, social media is a common way for low budget films to raise awareness and share their product.
What is the most effective way of promoting our product to our target market?
After looking at Instagram,Twitter and Facebook statistic in relation to our target market I saw an opportunity not only for free marketing but the ability to reach mass numbers of people quickly and effectively.
