Final Film Opening

What kind of media institution might distribute your media project and why?

Lions gate is one of the largest successful independent film and television distribution company.  When the time came to look at distribution companies, I came to the conclusion that Lion gate distributed movie such as Saw and Final destination. This is a well know company for making movies successful, the reputation that follows as well is incredible.  

   Axiom films is a small production and distribution company with their latest movie ‘White elephant’. I think it is best it our movie got distributed and working with a company like this could lead to huge success.

      Distrify is an online distribution company, one of the latest movies they have distributed ‘being sold’. I believe this is a useful company to  distribute our movie ‘Hunted’ as it is an independent movie production company ‘Epic pictures’ . Due to research gathered on Distrifty there have been many positive review of the website and therefore make it  desirable for us to make a deal with them. Also for this site you could just upload your own movie and let it be successful.

During the late 1990 studio's stop using 35 mm, and throughout the years there have been many new to distribution such as online 'Netflix' which is a digital forms of distribution as this can lead to piracy but however as a business there are always risk factors involved. Throughout the years there have been many changes within the media industry.

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

These are the steps that I took for my preliminary, this is a similar step I took when it came to the time where I had to research and plan my project for the year. The Preliminary task was the first time that I have filmed with a Fat Camera but it help to learn how to use it because when it came to film the movie I filmed a lot of the shots used in the Opening Credit.
The preliminary task, we were given a sheet of shot to film as it was are first try, however for my coursework I was independent and has carefully planned how different angle shot can represent gender, the genre of the film. Furthermore the preliminary task I had an understanding of how important it is to have a story broad in great detail. Also it was my first every blog so I learnt how to make and post on a blog.
In terms of audience I had to consider Todorov's and Levi's theories and how I could use these theories to advertise my movie. Over the course of  the year I have learnt a lot form my media As class in terms of my production work, which was enjoyable for me as I learnt so many new things. During the preliminary task I had made a shooting script, however for my move there was no dialogue therefore we did not make one. One aspect of this task was the use of final cut which help when I was editing the movie on final cut and post it on YouTube as I did not know how to unload a final cut piece.

Who would be the audience for your media product?

Questions for hunted

The target audience for ‘hunted is for anyone the age 12 and over, I decided that our movie would be unique in the sense that most horror/ trailer are 15 and over, I chose to play with this by targeting a younger target audience also having a certain appeal to the idea of vampires. Super-natural movies have attracted a various audience, therefore in hopes of magnetizing and tempting with the concept of a super-natural shows. When I was planning and conceiving the idea of a great movie that would drawing in fan that would be as loyal as the fans of ‘ Twilight saga’ and ‘Vampire dairies’ the idea of creating a world where everything is different, that gives people a chance to enter another world. There is not a specific gender as both men and women could watch, for men there is that aspect of an action movie. Whereas for women I believe would be drawn to the show because of the 'Twilight saga'. After we planned who are target audience was going to be we chose to look at way to appeal to them and this was through Facebook and Twitter, which as sites that teenagers tend to go on, on a daily bases. 

One theory that also help when planning and research was the Todorov's theory which states that there has to be a structured narrative, also every film meets the typical convention of using equilibrium. This well be used throughout my movie. Furthermore another theory that I have used is the Levi Strauss  Binary opposition which illustrates that every movie had a hero and a villain therefore make the audience understand the concept of the movie. Therefore movie our target audience teens and young adults.
