Question 3

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

We chose 20th century fox films to distribute our film because they aim to push boundaries of film making and technology advances. They also specialise in low budget british independent films and have distributed thrillers, e.g. One hour photo which is about a lonely technician who develops and unsettling obsession with the Yorkin family who are long time costumers. This film was published in 2002. This was a relevant film to help me decide that fox films was suitable because this is a thriller film, but like    ours, it doesn't include gore and darkness much. 


Taking the future into consideration, 20th century fox aims to embrace new technologies and that take their audience deeper into the film which we would want to achieve. 

 As our film is small and independent we didn't want to chose a institution like Columbia films because it would be challenging to get the distribution we need and our film would probably get over looked. For the same reason, we didn't want Warner bros to distribute our company because companies like that make masses of profit and they wouldn't want to distribute or even entertain our  movie.

Question 7

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? What I have learnt from my preliminary through to the process of making "Watched" is how to achieve different perspectives of emotions and reactions through camera angles and shots. This helped to really draw in the audience and help them to engage and interact the viewers. From my research, I have learnt that thriller genre target audiences like to feel the emotions of the characters within the production whereas in my preliminary task, I don't think we achieved this response successfully. Another main skill I learnt in creating 'watched' was the processes and camera angles and music we had to carefully think about in order to achieve a successful thriller film that would get the responses we wanted.

How did you attract/address your audience? The way we attracted out target audience was to create a narrative that appealed to both audiences. By this we aimed to provide a view from both genders but also created out product by giving the audience a chance to decide who they want to 'defend' or encourage throughout. As well as this we also tried to follow the common conventions of thriller genre to keep our audience drawn in but also tried to break the boundaries and make our product more unique by making the protagonist seem braver and smarter than the stereotypical female protagonist.  As from the research, we also wanted to make our product so that the audience can be in the situation of the victim or antagonist to make them feel part of the film. To achieve this, we used camera angles such as close ups to reveal the true feelings and emotions of the character so that the audience could feel these emotions to. As well as reaction shots, as i mentioned...
