Initial Ideas - Media Institutions and Film Demographic

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

I would assume that our media product would have low production values, and the type of production company that would back our work would be that of a smaller more personalized group of investors that would sustain the low budget production of our small concept thriller. The likely hood of appeal to a more high budget run film production company would be very minimal due to the reminicence that our thriller dwells within. It is very much based on the successful work of other great, iconic directors and thier classic horror iconography. Therefore, we would have to pull on more artisticly supportive investors - those who support the idea and those who are interested in more independent film making. The lack of CGI affects, panoramic views and a smaller, unknown cast would definately define our production as small independant institutional media production. However, the indepth development of meaning and character based story line would undoubtably catagorize our production as an independent film production.



Who would be the audience for your media product?

This media product would appeal to very small demographic. It is appealing more to an audience of horror film lovers, who sustain a respect for independant film. Although the target audience is small, the film concept is strong enough to be able to become a popular film within its own respective audience. Its strong story line, and character development appeals to those of an older age group, and its content of alot of blood and gore appeals to a younger predominantly male audience. In conclusion, the media audience for this product would not necessarily be wide but it would however be a very loyal fan base.
