Question 4/5

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? How will you attract/address your audience?

OrangeMedia is also a low budget production company so we have to find means of advertising that are not mainstream ideas. This would primarily be the internet. The internet is used to advertise most small independent media production, marketing and attracting an audience (target audience).  Sites like Youtube, Vimeo and Facebook can be used to show adverts create webpages and web roll-overs, and also mini trailers. After putting it on all these marketing sites we hope to get some sort of recognition so that hopefully we can make some money and eventually make 200 DVDs to sell to the public. 

Below are a list of institutions that have distributed my product are;

Vimeo; where all the AS students media products have been uploaded.

Youtube; where candiasmedia uploaded my thriller opening. As you can see we also got 127 views on utube as well as a positive comment.

Facebook; Here is where I uploaded my video on to Facebook, we got 20 likes in total, this means that a majority of the people liked watching it, also we got some nice positive comments, telling us how they felt of the video.

Question 2

Our film represent social groups because the characters in our film are representing modern day people.

The target audience for our film is teens. This is shown by the mise en scene in our film. The characters wear street attire that any teen nowadays would be seen wearing. The killer in our film is wearing a new era cap with a black jacket on top, this is normal and is seen everyday in society, however the way the outfit is used, gives the viewer the hint that this characters is hiding something sinister, which is shown later on.

The victim in our film represents what would now be seen as a 'vulnerable geek'. This is shown through his attire of a chequered shirt and dull haircut.

These clothing attires are used effectively to draw in the viewer in many ways. The fact that they are both wearing everyday clothing, allows the viewer to be placed in the victims shoes. This draws a lot of empathy for the victim when he gets killed later on.

The following picture shows the gulf in class between the killer and victim. The stereotypical view of the victim is that they are well dressed and usually appear to come from a wealthy background, whereas the killer always appears shabby and seems to come from a poorer background.

The VICTIM (from our film AND a real film):

The KILLER:

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

Within this question we have to think about how we would advertise and distribute, and how do we apply this in order to attract a good target audience. Ways we could attract an audience could be through advertising. However we have to take into account that we are Candi studios are a low budget company with good equipment and facilities. OrangeMedia is also a low budget production company so we have to find means of advertising that are not mainstream ideas. This would primarily be the internet. The internet is used to advertise most small independent media production, marketing and attracting an audience (target audience).  Sites like youtube and twitter and Facebook can be used to show adverts create webpages and web roll-overs, and also mini trailers. There is also shared screenings, dvd releases of the film, candi website adverts, blogs and pop ups independent film festivals, adverts on student union websites maybe ads in local newspapers or on posters and flyers. 

Here is a screen grab when i uploaded on facebook and alot of people watched our video.

Good places to build a target audience would be film websites such as Youtube, Vimeo and the BBC Film Network.
