The film produced is a thriller about a school shooting. HBO would be a good distributor as they have distributed similar films in the past, such as "Elephant", which was also about a school shooting and was successful. The film has wide appeal as the circumstances of the characters can be related to by audiences around the world, and it is not specifically set in one country or focused on one race. This wide appeal will benefit both the filmmakers and the distributor financially. The target audience is 16-25 year olds as they can most relate to the events in the film, which is based on a similar age group. Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter should be used for promotion as that is where the target

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

2. What is distribution?
The distribution or movie is the process through which a movie
is made available to watch for an audience by a film distributor.
Distributers will sell a certain genre of film or a certain type of
film thinking also about that target audience.

3. Think about the sort of film you have produced, and the
type of films this company have released before - are
they likely to be interested in your film? Explain why
The sort of film we have produced is a thriller. The kind of
company that we would like to distribute our film is “HBO” as
they have very similar films for example they produced a film
called “elephant” about a school shooting, they are more likely to
be intrested in our film as they found elephant was a very
succesful film and it wouldn’t be an waste of investment.

4. Is your film going to appeal to UK audiences only? Or does it
have a wider appeal? Why? Why not?
I think our think that our film will appeal all over the world as
anyone can relate to the circumstances that some our
characters are in, for example we have a school kid. A lady going
to work and the shooter. But our film, may come across as even
a warning just to always be on guard and that anything can
happen even when least expected, and all audiences over the
world would be able to connect with that as it, is also not
persifically set in a certain place/ country and focusing on one
race of people it is multi cultral. Just to then add the point that
everyone can relate and make it appeal to a wider audience.
What will also benefit us and the distributer with the money
made from the film.

5. Audience and Release.
I think the target audience would be 16-25 as I feel they could
relate most with the events in the film and it is based on roughly
the same age group.
Release statagies I might use are thing like making adds on
facebook/twitter social networking sites as a lot of our target
audience use these programes all the time I think that adding
stuff to the internet would be more succsesfull then anything
else as it grabs our target audience more.
