media evaluation

1. By Olivia Chinnock

2.  A platform on which distributed my film is
‘YouTube’. I uploaded my film to the website.
This means that a variety of audiences will watch
my film, including an international audience, and
seeing the opening of the film will market my
film by word of mouth and persuade people to
watch it in a cinema or by another media outlet
such as DVD or via IPods and games consoles.
Social Networking sites would also distribute my
teen drama to the target audience as many young
people have sites such as ‘Facebook’ etc. This is
because I can upload my film onto these sites to
distribute it to the target audience.

3.  My thriller wouldn’t appeal to many distributing
company because it is not stereotypically British and
it doesn’t has strong British signifiers. Also, many
companies don’t distribute films as short as 2
minutes; therefore I would have to enter my film into
film festivals such as the ‘Student Film Festival
Awards’ to get funding.
 I could also enter my film into short film competitions
which would help me distribute my film because I
could get funding and be rewarded for my films. If I
did this, my film could be recognized among
professionals and the broader public which would
enable to find future funding.

4.  My media product has intertexual references with
The Clique', which also gained funding through film
festivals. Therefore my teen drama would also be
identified as an independent film. Because of this,
my film will more likely be in an independent
cinema such as ’Cinema City’ or there might be the
possibility that it went straight out onto DVD.
