Evaluation Q4

Evaluation Question 4

Q: Who would be the audience for your media product?

The audience for our media product would precisely be for people aged 12+. As a thriller, it would be suitable for children going into their teenage years, and on wards. This particular audience would watch our film because it will easily appeal to them. We have kept in mind the thriller conventions that we have needed to make it appear as a thriller. These thriller conventions such as a cliffhanger or an enigma or even a maguffin have been used in many other thriller movies that we have researched and reviewed, and we have got our inspiration from there.

We have stuck to the stereotype of a thriller appealing to a male audience also. The characters are all male, and there are no female characters included. I would say that our opening would appeal more to a male audience than a female audience, but that does not mean that it won't appeal to a female audience at all. The movements that each character made weren't particularly exciting, they were sort of mysterious and un-predicted, but they made the thriller even more mysterious, so it fitted with that genre's stereotype.


The audience feedback we received were from two females who watched it - and although they seemed to enjoy what we had created, when I showed it to a few boys they seemed to find it more exciting and interesting, especially when the mysterious device (enigma) came up on the screen towards the end. They said that we could have included more point of view shots and could have explored more thriller conventions that would make this opening more appealing to them.

Evaluation Question 3

Q: What kind of media institute might distribute your media product and why?

As a group, we had to consider that our film is unlikely to be distributed by a major film studio since we are only small, British filmmakers.

If we were really making the film and there was a possibility that it would be considered, we could premiere it on something more likely than having it as a big blockbuster movie in cinemas. It could be shown on television for example, on a channel like Film 4 or the BBC. By having it on here it doesn't necessarily mean that it is going to be unsuccessful, because there are many things on the BBC that have started off small but have then become a great success later on.

There are also small considerations we could make like if it would be on a simultaneous release. Big time movies would probably be shown in the cinema for a few weeks and then months later would be released on demand or on DVD. However, in our case it would be distributed on TV, or might even go straight to DVD, which is what less successful films tend to do nowadays.

In reality, we could probably distribute our film on YouTube, because in the modern day world the internet is becoming a bigger and bigger thing, and even becoming YouTube famous will make you a great success nowadays. From the top of my head, I can think of lots of YouTubers who make amateur movies and make it big on the internet, and that is good enough for them.

Evaluation Q2

Evaluation Question 2
Here is my evaluation question 2 in which I presented using Easelly. In this answer I talked about how our media product represented certain social groups, and then talked about how it appealed to men more than women because of these certain social groups being presented.
