Evaluation question 4- Who would be the audience for your media product?


Females between 13 to 25 years old is our target audience as it is similar to The Lovely Bones because we have to the same sort of film, so we're thinking the same sort of age group would be interested in watching our film. I think it is aimed mainly at girls over boys because the film is all about a young girl which appeals to females more and as females can understand it more than males they can relate to it. Music that we think these girls would listen to is older songs as our film is set in the 1960's we have added in music from that year, so maybe they would like them sort of songs. These girls could shop in vintage and retro sort of shops as that is where they sell old fashioned clothes and they wear that sort of style in our opening. We picked the age group 13 to 25 as our film includes a twist and you have to be a certain age to understand that and figure it out and we think it would start from the age 13 where they would be able too.

Evaluation question 2- How does your media product represent particular social groups?



This is the character Suzie Salmon from the film The Lovely Bones, we got our inspiration for our character in our film opening from this movie as the whole film is very eerie and that is the aim of our film. We aimed our film opening to younger people, like teenagers; male or female. We also have 60's style clothing and hair styles as it is set in the 1960's. The age of the characters in our film opening are also similar to Suzie Salmons age as it makes it that bit more creepy because the scary things are happening at such a young age. As in our opening we only have two young girls, Suzie Salmons character represents their age perfectly, as they are a little naive as they dont really understand whats going on. The way they act is also similar, as they always look happy, even if they are not.

Evaluation question 3- What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Film 4 is a production company that would distribute our media product as it is a low budget film company so it doesn't broadcast huge blockbusters on their screen, which is good for our media product because it won't look out of place against the other films that would be shown along side it. A film distributor such as Film 4 would be more inclined to distribute our media product than any other film company because others are large companies that are very picky about the types of films that are distributed through them, whereas Film 4 distribute low budget films happily. If Film 4 was to show our media product on air, they would introduce our production with our film logo and name to their viewers before the film, of which we have created.
We have a logo and name for our production and looks professional for the film company Film 4 and it won't put them off distributing our media product when we have thought about the ins and outs of the distribution of our film opening.
We would show the Film 4 company about our story outline and show them a clip from it so that they can see whether they want distribute it through their company. This is usually a group of people that we would have to introduce our film to, in order for it to be agreed upon in order for it to distributed.
Our film idea is very similar to the film 'The Lovely Bones', which is actualyl also a film 4 movie. This film is a fantasy thriller where the main character is dead and it shows her heaven which is very fantasy-like. Also a set series that have previously been on TV such as 'Marshlands' which is a thriller al
so.
Below is the Film 4 logo.
