Evaluation Part 3
What
kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? (Studio,
TV, Web, DVD etc)
Thoughts and Ideas
What not to do
Thoughts and Ideas
Well as the film will not be well know,
and would only be short, then major distribution companies will not distribute
it as of the return money will not be what they expect. However, what we have
been learning about in class is a film of the name of ‘Shifty’. This was made
under the Microwave Scheme, by the UK Film Council at a budget of £100,000, with
a time of 18 days to complete it. The company that distributed this film was Metrodome,
which is a small distribution company. As it will not be a big film, the cinema
audience will not be spectacular, therefore it would be better to sell it on
DVD while advertising it though social networking sites and yourtube as
that is a free form of advertising.
What not to do
For major films like The Dark Knight,
Hunger Games, Harry Potter, these all involve major production and studio
companies as well as distribution companies. Some examples of these are; Warner
Brothers, 20th Century Fox, Universal and Columbia.
These would input millions of £/$ into marking films and distributing, but
these would all be done on their own terms and in how and what way they would
like to do this. Unlike Metrodome, who
cooperates with you and accepts your ideas and inputs with the marketing and
distributing, it shows how the same business but at different levels operate
are like.

Evaluation Part 2
How does you media product represent particular social groups? (Gender, Age, Sexuality, Ethnicity etc)
Our Thriller shows young men and women in a postivie way, as you are able to see that they are just like any other person haveing fun and ejoying themselves. However you can see that for some reason the adult male is deranged and is shown as a killer. It featured people in their late teens.
The are no other ethnic minorities as we did not feel as this would help improve our thriller in any way possible, so we decided to just keep it how it is as well as not discriminating against them to cause a fued in the thriller opening.
There was no relevance for sexuality within the film either so we didnt take this into consideration, and at the same time in any way we didnt discriminate against them, and the film is appropriate for all above the age of 12.
You are able to notice a sterotype; 'The Scary Hoody' as he was the killer. This is common in many thrillers as it is a way of hiding their identity. its a negative sterotype however, it is widly knon, and is just how it is seen.
