question 6

Question 6: What have you learned about technologies from the process of constructing this product?








Evaluation Q.3/4: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? How will you attract.addresds your audience?





This is a video which i posted from Youtube. The film is a hit with 11,705 views which shows that it appealed to the intended audience. The film clearly shows that low-budget films can achieve some sort of success if executed correctly. In addition, with the limited use of special effects in the film, and obviously the low budget it is even harder to make it a success.
Working Title 2 would be the perfect company to distribute our film. Youtube would be one of our main source of promotion. This is used by millions everyday so we have a high possibility of attaining hits. Moreover, websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Myspace etc. Are very popular amongst our target audience: Teenagers. These would be the other main source of promotion for our Thriller Movie.

Question 5: Who would be the audience for your media product?









The target audience for my media product will be teenagers around the ages 18-22. Who has a very busy lifestyle. Similar to Shaz who is 19, working in Top shop and studying English literature at University of Westminster. She has a very busy lifestyle she visits her friends everyday. Her lifestyle involves swimming, bowling, shopping. She owns a dkny handbag and purse, which has credit cards and her work card. She also owes a ipod touch and blackberry as they are they latest technology of communicating with your friends.

Question 3&4 What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? How will you attract/address your audience?

This is a media students work which was uploaded onto youtube on March 11 2007, it was watched by 6656 people, this shows that it was a successful film as it attracted a large audience.
It was a low budget film as of the use of special effect and technology. The best part of this triller was that the story line was made obvious to the audience, as we can see from the text, which shows the story line.
This thriller has similarities to our film as its a thriller about friendship turning into jealousy. Similar to 'Ebony Stone' as they was in a relationship which then turned into a obsession.

For our film it will be appropriate for a working title 2 company to distribute our film, as its a low budget British organisation. The reason being, that our film is targeted towards British teenagers. As youtube is viewed by a lot of people, I feel if our film gets published onto youtube, then we got receive lot of comments and feedback. The internet is also another way of people watching films and sites such as twitter, myspace, Bebo and facebook, are common websites to watch movies and publish them.

question 3&4

If our film was to be produced, it would be under a Working Title 2 (WT2) film for a British audience ages from 16-25 as this age group would be the most suitable audience involved in watching this type of psychological thriller. This film will be produced under Working Title 2 becuase of the production being based around a low budget. the film is mostly aimed at teenagers who are invloved in this type of situation and how they suffer from a mental illness that can convey their actions in a most negative way.

This is a students work to a opening of their own Thriller named 'Twisted' it has 2337 hits displayed on youtube with great positive feedback from the global audience. The story line is simular to ours being an obsessed man following a young girl in order to kidnap her. Seen as how this students film is so popular in the internet and has a simular storyline I believe that my thriller would be as succsessful if produced by a real film company. The camera shots and effects were intelligently portrayed which therefore engaged hundreds of people into watching this. In order to physically show the producers of WT2 my work, i would format it into a DVD and try to display it at a film festival or arrange an audition.
