1. Evaluation: Question 3 What kind of media institution might
distribute your media product and why?
2. Which cinema would mostly likely distribute our production?
ODEON or Vue Cinema Our thriller wouldnt particularly appeal to
more of a mainstream audience in a multiplex cinema. Looking at
their past history of thrillers shown it includes currently that of
the Kingsman, The Gunman and Wild Card. These thrillers are very
modern and action packed, attempting to be aimed at young adult
audience, they contain possibly modern references and current SFX
that creates a surreal and futuristic atmosphere. Our production of
Eve Crawford would probably appeal to an independent cinema, such
as Cinema City. The demographic of Cinema City prefer art-house
films, that appeal to a niche audience. Also the thrillers shown
are mainly repeats of older ones like Psycho, which is old and
doesnt show many modernisms as it wasnt from the current century.
Our thriller is 1950s based which may appeal to a niche audience as
many would prefer to see newer more modern violent thrillers.
3. How would digital technologies offer new distribution
activities? Social media will publicise our production, such as
Facebook, mainly through advertisement campaigns, and exclusive
clips and trailers can be posted to YouTube. Due to us having a
young cast, we have a young audience demographic. Social media is a
big part of their everyday life meaning it is easier for them to
spread the word. Our film can also be distributed on on-demand
services, such as Netflix. This is suitable for our audience of
young adults, as many use such sites to watch films.
