1. What kind of media institution might
distribute your media product and why?
Thomas Beckensall

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.
