Evaluation 4 - Who would be the audience for your media product?





Image result for 15 age
Our film is based for people that are aged at 15 and over. This because of the content that is shown wouldn't be appropriate for younger than 15 because they may find the 'creepy' figure scary. Also 15 and above are more interested in the suspense that occurs.







Our film will include violence, therefore this is another reason that our film is aimed at 15 and over as it is the law that if the film includes
any of the following :



- Drugs
- Sex
- Violence
- Threat
- Language
- Imitable behaviour








The language that will be used in our film will not be appropriate for the ages under 15 years old as it is very strong and violent and children younger than 15 may not know what it means or there parents would not think it is acceptable for their children to be hearing those words and seeing those actions.


Also, we have thought about which gender would prefer the film and we have decided that it would be males. This is because males are more like to enjoy violence and gory type of scenes and they seek the thrill of violence  However, this isn't saying that girls wouldn't like horror films too because there are many that still do just it is known for boys to like it a more as that is what stereotypically shown in society.


In our film the story line includes young characters, this means that this might catch the attention of young teenagers when watching all together because they are in similar paths and the could relate to them. Mostly a group of teenagers or young adults would be interested in the films because they have other people to joke around with and aren't on their own and overall with have other people to enjoy it with.

Evaluation 3 - What kind of media institution might distribute your media product?








This is our production company, a production company is where it handles the budgeting, scheduling, scripting the supply with talent and resources, the organization of staff, production itself, distribution and the marketing.



This is our final production name and picture. Our group had to change our picture half way through editing because it didn't fit in with our film and it was too bright but overall we were able to change it and improve it and then we came out with this one. We kept the name . 'A GOLDEN CASTLE FILM'  as the one before which was right at the beginning of the whole video planning wasn't appropriate enough for a horror and creepy film, as it was too positive and upbeat.


If our group was going to distribute the film ourselves, we would decide to sell it to Netflix. This is for the reason as our budget wasn't big enough to go for anybody else as because we haven't brought a film out before therefore nobody will know who we are and wont voluntarily go and see the film that we have produced but if somebody pays monthly for Netflix they may come across it and watch it because it is in front of them already. The money that we would receive after the film was made would be from Netflix, if the amount they offer is over the budget that we used to make our film will determine if we were going to choose them or not otherwise we would go find somewhere else because we would want to be offered enough that makes us have a little bit of profit.


Throughout the film we have multiple titles that appear, these include the names that produced and featured in the film. Throughout the film everybody helped out with little bits now and then but overall everybody had a big part too, and these are listen below. Chloe Tullett and I were in charge of writing the script and doing the information for the scenes, Hannah Bowyer edited the film and Charlotte Benjamin and Kieran Amos both starred in the film.



Evaluation 2 - How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Charlotte is a young woman that is presented in our film as just a normal girl. She is dressed in casual clothes and very innocent. This character is very similar to the woman in scream 'Casey Becker'. Both characters are aware that there are scary figures around and they both and go and try to find out who it is and what it going on. The character from scream is also just a very causal and innocent woman.
   

There are many similarities in the two characters, this is such as both young woman and they are very naïve, they are both also laid back which we see because they're just lounging around at home in comfortable clothes. However at the same time there are some differences, this is such as Charlotte isn't aware that the figure is real as such, but Casey speaks to the person on the phone so knows that the person is real. Also Charlotte isn't alone as she is moving in with her boyfriend so if needed she has somebody there, but Casey is on her own, home alone so anything could happen and nobody knows.
