Analysis of different genres at Odeon

• Generally, most of these films are sci-fi including thrillers as well as thrillers alone – so this would fit in with our genre completely – ours is a thriller which includes some sci-fi in it with the idea she can see into each person’s future by looking through the camera.

• The films currently on show at the cinema tell us that the audiences are generally quite younger due to the age rating being mainly 12, so even with the thrillers, they are either not violent or include limited violence, which is similar to ours.

• However, for our film, the age rating is 15, so this is slightly different to what is currently on show here.

Analysis of different genres in Ambassadors cinema• The films shown at this cinema are generally all sci-fi or

dramas, so this is different to our film, mostly they are for a younger audience also, as the age ratings are 12A or PG mostly, so this shows that the audiences are probably also families.

• Our film is different in both the age rate and the genre itself, and between the films being shown at the cinema in Guildford and in Woking, and I think this is due to Woking having more families as their main target audience.

BFI cinema

Analysis of films at these independent cinemas• These films include a range of age ratings – 12A, A, 15 are all

included – this would be due to having many different audiences, from young to older to families. The independent cinema would have different films with different ratings due to wanting to attract more people away from the main cinemas – then people could find a film they wanted here.

• Generally the genres are more drama or animation/sci-fi, however does include a couple of thrillers also, so slightly similar to ours, however the thriller is a 12 yet ours is a 15.

• The Odeon Cinemas tend to have the same rating as these independent cinemas do, however teenagers tend to go to the Odeon more – the independent cinemas will probably have a range of audiences, yet are not as well known so need to have a wider range of film ratings available to attract more customers.

Film festivals

Film festivals

Analysis of films at the film festivals

• The main genres of films these film festivals show are mainly dramas and have some thrillers also are on show here – so similar to our film which is a thriller and can also be quite dramatic due to its sub-genre being psychological

• Sundance seems to have a wider range of films on show, but generally the genre which is most prevalent seems to be the drama and thriller genre

• This tells me that generally these are the most common genres of films people will choose to go and see

Odeon cinema or independent cinemas?

• I believe our film would be distributed at the independent cinemas due to it being more or a dramatic psychological thriller rather than violent or with a lot of action etc.

• I feel that if it were to be shown at an independent cinema it could potentially attract more people – a wider range. Even though the rating is a 15, it could reach more people if it were to be shown at the independent cinema

Where our media product could be shown

Cannes vs Sundance film festival?

• Our media product would most likely be shown at …… due to this film festival including a range of dramas with thrillers and this is similar to ours as ours is a thriller yet still psychological and dramatic.

BBC vs Film 4?

• I feel our film would be shown on BBC as it is not a very fast pace suspense thriller, and younger people can watch it. Due to the lack of violence and with very limited strong language, our film would most likely be shown on BBC rather than another film channel

Where our media product could be shown

• Other distribution points for our film to be shown could be preview screenings – so people book and have separate screenings for themselves.

• Our film could also potentially be shown at filmmakers competition

• Some other places our product could be shown is straight to DVD or video release – rather than cinema or TV, it could go right to release on DVD.

Where do I think our film could be placed amongst all institutions

• I think that our film would most likely be shown on the BBC channel due to the age rating be targeted towards 15-20 year olds. Also, as it is more of a calm psychological thriller, I think it would be more likely to be placed here. However, due to this, I also think that our film would be shown at a filmmakers competition also, as it includes a lot of different shot types and editing so I feel it would work well at a filmmakers competition.
