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

Thomas Beckensall

This could be a Hollywood movie as lately there has been many profitable survival horror movies like resident evil, and silent hill. These have become popular because of there different concepts of the story. The horror concept normally plays on fear which emphasises the survival aspect. The movies that have these traits are normally made into other media products too such as video games and other products. The reason that they have become so popular is that they are an easily manipulated story and can have multiple spin-offs and sequels. The stories they are based on are made from cliques, just to keep the target audience attracted, but the writers find the ways in which the story can be manipulated into something original.

This Film will be released only because of the directors doing because of him displaying his thoughts and dreams to the viewers, mainly an art film. The deeper meaning to this is to encourage others who have there ideas but not sure if they will be appreciated or not. This could be a revolution in the movie industry. The fact that the type of story and setting is very similar to the type of films and games that are released today, this would make a good example for a multimedia product. The simple idea of survival is very renowned for the amount of films that has been made.Most horror films release dates are based on superstition like the 6th June 2006 the film Omen was released, but more frequently they release films on Friday the 13th. This makes the whole horror film seem more authentic to the story. This is why I would release my film on a date much like Friday the 13th, or perhaps the 21th December this year (21/12/2012) because it is about the end of the world as predicted by Aztecs.

The way that Hollywood make their movies look as realistic and authentic as possible they like to spend time searching for an appropriate location to set the entire thing. Luckily for me I knew the exact place

to set my opening sequence and how it would come off to the viewers. The setting I chose was authentic but with the limited time I had, I didn’t quite get across the place and time that it is set. In the film the road they had to keep it within a budget and by doing so they just needed to find old destroyed places to film. This being an American film they could travel around and perhaps make the setting which I did with putting torn black material draped over a gate to resemble the dark times. The clothes in this setting would be old, torn, shabby, and a good choice of equipment to survive with, but as with other movies they tend to have them with nothing and make them feel as they will not survive the ongoing

threat.

This movie, the DESCENDENTS, is a Chilean zombie art house film and is a low budget film which most are and although many people find it lacking in mise en scene. The story and setting came off rather well, they are many things that can be learned from the ways that directors make films from learning techniques made up by a ‘dreamer’. This is the way I would distribute my film possibly by director Jorge Olguin because he made a good impression with Descendants. Ghosthouse Underground was the distributer for this film, they mainly just put there films straight onto DVD, My film would Possibly go straight onto DVD too as it is like descendants, a low budget film. Ghost house underground have a history of making low budget films.

My movie will be an art house film because it is more too do with the director’s thoughts and feelings on each of the characters stories, the main character is always about the dreams and ambitions of the story. The intentions of an art film is more to do with the dreams of characters other than the goal-driven story. Art films are aimed at small ‘niche’ markets and to those that are only interested in that specific story. The art house movie is the best choice for my type of film as I made up the story to go with it.
