Q3)What kind of media institutions might distribute your media product and why?

I believe that Hammer Film Productions would be one of the best distributor as they distributed really famous films like Dracula and The Mummy. Hammer Film Productions are famous for distributing Horror Thrillers and Psychological Thrillers which suits both of our productions. The statistics show that the films that this company distributed were famous and that the films they distributed one many awards like the Best Dramatic Presentation.
Torment was Psychological Thriller as the girl was being tormented by a mafia. So for this reason I believe that it this company would be the best decision to distribute my preliminary product. One of the main reasons for me to choose this was because that the films they distributed Psychological Thriller films like Paranoiac and Fear and The Night. These two films were well known when they were produced and distributed as Hammer Film Productions made series of what was known as Mini Hitchcock. This is a really significant thing as Alfred Hitchcock is known as the best director for Thriller Films so I would choose this company to distribute my first production.
I will also choose the same company for my second production as they distributed Dracula witch is also well known bringing large incomes to the producers and directors. There is a vampire in the film who killed young women sucking there blood which can have a small link with our ‘Rumour’ production as the mysterious character there killed the two young girls in the story. There is a small link in between the two productions so I would like to distribute my media productions with this company.
Hammer Film Productions would want to distribute my productions as they have a similar storyline with the ones they distributed before. I think the unique selling point for my preliminary production was that there isn't many films set in that particular era. Also that there is a wide audience which would be a good reason for them to pick my production. Another reason would be that costumes and the settings we used for Torment was really realistic as we researched before choosing them. We set out the room to fit with the era, with barley twist furniture and a gramophone, showing that we thought about before starting our presentation. We also chose the characters clothing so that it showed their character and moods as the girl had white dress on which is known as purity and the man had a black suit on which the colour is connotation of danger and death. The editing I used fitted the era as I didn’t use many transitions affects apart from fast cut shots. I also used many camera shots like close ups and wide angles to set the scene and to show the moods of the characters. Lastly the music I chose creates tension and the films they distributed was really catchy and the music meant a lot as it kept the audience focused building up nervousness.
They might want to distribute my main product as its storyline is interesting and it has a wide audience from the ages of 15 to 24. Younger adults like watching films and are the groups that go to cinemas mostly so it would be a good choice for them. The location was in a park which links back to teenagers and young adults again showing that it is a film aimed at them. The clothing of the characters were clothing of typical teenagers, we made sure this was clear in our productions again showing that we researched before choosing the props, clothing and setting. The unique selling point for our production which will make the company want to chose this particular video is that the plot, music and setting works together creating tension and excitement which is wanted by the young audience.

In both of our productions we followed the thriller conventions like silence and black outs which would be a important point making producers like Hammer Films Productions chose our productions Torment and ‘Rumour.’
