what kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

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

If we was really to make this film it would probably b pronounced as a independent film as its definitely not a major and the big six would never go near it.as we are a small British film makers we are at the level of independent film makers.

The big six would not be willing to invest there money or time into distributing our film as we are standard regular people and it would be too much of a high risk to invest money into us as we could loose all of it and not make profit which would be a bad investment choice.

As a group we will probably get it on to DVD straight away by printing the max around 25 as the maximum when we first release it as the cost of this is expensive but luckily or digital distribution its cheaper to do it this way as we will have more prints. It will take put a huge chunk of our budget also on social networking sites such as twitter and Facebook and YouTube as most people in our generation are more focused on social networking sites these days and this is where I believe we will get the best response from an audience. Film 4,BBC and warp films take on independent movies so we could try and get it on to one of them channels.

we will definitely have to distribute it in London as a platform release in the art house cinemas which is a cinema for independent movies which we hope a diverse amount of Londoners who will go watch this film and spread the word about it which will lead into more distribution of the film              

evaluation question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

in our media film we included a variety of different types of social groups in our film for instance there’s a diversity between age where in our film it introduces a young single mother to a young child.in  this film the young mum is seen as vulnerable as she is a single mother and this is usually seen as a negative in the medias perception because stereotypically they cant look after themselves or there kid such as scrounging of the council just for a flat etc. But in our film we see that this mother and child have particularly washed out that stereotype because the mother is working and she also takes her child to school every morning before going to work just to look after her child.

Ethnicity is also one of the social groups that feature in our film as we have a mixed race son, an Asian mother and a black father. The black father has been portrayed, as a negative character in this film as he is in prison for beating up the mother this is very stereotypical because the medias influenced the way we based our film. This is due to the fact we know that this is just the basic that goes on everyday and its expected because that’s already the way our mind is set up. In up to date documentaries black young men feature hugely in association with crime issues, this is especially involved in street violence, gun and knife crime and gangs and on both side of the crime either as the victims or as the perpetrators of crime. The behaviors and attitudes of some of those represented also associated in black young men with a potentially violent are threat to the wider society. Furthermore the father in this is seen as a deadbeat dad as he has left the mother and child to fend for themselves as he is locked up in prison which is another stereotype.

evaulation question 1.

In what ways does your media product use,develop or challenge forms and conventions of a real media products?

In our media film the conventions we have used includes a the close up camera shot of tanyas facial expressions which enhances the fact she is shocked about the way the man touches her.which is in the ending of the film where we used a cliff hanger  where the father that has just been released from prison and is following the mother who is played by tanya in the film. this makes the audience feel tension and 1have a thrill because they want to watch on but they can't because the film has ended.this fits the thriller genre also because its basically hiding the identity of the father of the child and the audience are left with unanswered question.which also makes our thriller technical because it means the thriller is not straight forward.

furthermore we also used enigma in the narrative which are the codes that limit the audience to information, it lets them have to figure what is going off in the story. They have to figure out the puzzle, things the audience should think about are who,what,when,where,how?for example in the film deja(me) gets a phone call from someone with no caller id.this is basic enigma but it still limits the audience to information and they have to put 2 and 2 together to figure out what is going on.

we can apply tordovs narrative theory to this film as there is a state of equilibrium.this where the mum(tanya) is on the school run then the disruption of equilibrium comes when the father is released from prison.we therefore understand that this where deja(me) rings tanya but there is no answer.therefore the audience automatically know that something bad is going to happen. they dont know what but it will be something bad.if the film went on the ending would have probably been something involving a bad ending with someone dying or either a restraining order put against the man.this film is generic as we can apply tordovs narrative to it.our film will come across as a thriller which means that it would include the normal conventions of a thriller within it.

screening/audience feedback

this is one of our fellow class mates who talked about our film.he generally liked the concept but there was still more we could do to get it up to the best standard.he told us before the final video went up what to do to make it more effective and appeal to more people.


the following the question we asked to the audience:
Did you understand the plot?
the viewer then said yes to this and he told us what was good about it.
What did you like about it?
The fact that there are "different camera angles" the plot and the fact that it was related back to people our agde and the different stereotypes based around us.

1st draft/evaluation

this is our first draft of the film.not much is needed to get to the final draft.their are a few editing mistakes in here but we uploaded it youtube before we recognised so we had to re-upload to youtube again after we done the corrections.

the first draft was basic and we realised as a team we could perfect it by adding more effects to make it seem like a professional film.
