Evaluation Question 1.
In what ways does your media products use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Evaluation Question 3
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Me and my group decided what distribution companies we wanted to distribute our filmed based on the sub genre we chose and the budget we went for. Since we were doing a High School drama, from research we found that High school dramas tend to be very successful and well known they also tend have mainstream distribution companies. From this finding we had an idea of what production and distribution companies we were going to use.
For our High school drama we decided to use Atlantis Alliance as our production company and use Icon pictures as the distribution company. Both these companies are quite major and so hat's why we chose them We wanted our film to attract more than a niche audience since that;'s what the conventional High school drama tends to do.
Alliance Atlamtis have produced well known tv shows such as CSI and have also distributed well known films such as Rush Hour 2, Spy kids and Scary movie 2. We though they would be suitable for our movie niche we wanted to attract a wider audience but at the same time we didn't have a big enough budget to make a Company like Disney Pictures produce or distribute it. Alliance Atlantis is quite popular and so that was perfect for us since we couldn't make as big as Disney produced film but still use a known production company. Icon Productions is more of an Independent distribution company, they've distributed well known films such as 12 years a slave this was the distribution company for Australia. Icon Productions distribute films in America, Australia and the UK. Me and the group felt this would suit our film because of our budget, we wanted our film to attract more than niche audience but not a global audience and so I think Icon productions would be best for the aim we are going for.
design the way we wanted it.
Evaluation Question 4.
Who would be the audience for your media product?
Target Audience- is a particular group at which a product such as a film or advertisement is aimed.
There is a large number of people who watch teen films. Teenagers watch teen films as, most of the time, they can relate to the social issues which occur in these movies, as they're everyday issues teens could face. These issues could be the hierarchy of social groups within school, rivalry or conflict between groups. Teen films tend to have characters which are binary oppositions, ensuring that a wide range of teens can relate. Adults may watch teen films because they feel it could remind them of their youth, as well as contrasting how life as a teenager has changed.
Our Ideal target audience would be a female, with the interest of hanging out with their friends, shopping, gossiping with their friends, and are in the same age range of the teenagers that are in most teen films, so the age of 16-18. They would represent 'the typical girly girl', who also likes watching teen films, especially high school dramas.
Our sub genre is high school drama, targeted at teenagers and young adults. Most teen films, especially high school dramas, are about teenagers and their problems, ''coming of age''. This can teach the audience as well as interest them on important things about adolescents, sexuality, love, society, relationships, life. The relatable concept allows our target audience to connect.
Through the use of social media, we were able to reach a mass audience of teenagers who tend to spend most of their time on these sites. For example, we have a twitter page aimed at those who use this website which tend to be teenagers and young adults up to the age of 30. This is the perfect way to reach our target audience as well as interest of some adults. When people follow us, retweet and/or favourite us, it will then show up on their timeline, so their friends will be able to see it, interesting them and so on. This will increase awareness of our film .
