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

(as i have lost my voice i will not be posting a voice over, instead i will just type it up)

Production company's are effectively the body's responsible for finding the funding, scriptwriters, cast and resources, although some directors prefer to find and try out cast for themselves, e.g for the first Evil Dead, almost the entire cast was made up of friends of Raimi.

A possible distributor would have to an independent one, one that is willing to take a risk and distribute films that may or may not sell, a possible distributor would be Film4 Productions, due to there record of realising independent British films, many of witch had box office success.

The funding would probably take a smilier path as with the original Evil Dead (starting to see a pattern?) with it mainly coming from friends, family and the odd independent source willing to take a risk.

Josh and Mark appear first as they were the first people seen in the film, i list myself solely as the director as, there is no way in hell i would be able to any sort of funding together for a film. Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell are listed as producers as i am a huge fan of the Evil Dead trilogy (as i tried, and failed, to base my film on the first Evil Dead).

Odds are if the film would be realised, it would come out in a smiler fashion to the first Evil Dead (seriously, if you cant see the pattern by now then there is no hope for you), limited distribution in Europe, and then if its a success, it may get distributed in America, with a very harsh rating, as the larger film studios can put pressure on classification boards to give a film a more "generous" rating, and small films don't get that luxury.

Who would be the audience for your media product

(random target audience member)

I would expect the target audience member to be in there late teens/early 20s, as for the tastes, i would not be able to generalise, i would not care where they would shop for example, as the film would attempt to target a large demographic, not a single group, but i would expect it to appeal to fans of the the Evil Dead trilogy, or films by Sam Raimi, or horror fans in general. For music tastes it would be those oriented more towards the rock/metal side of the musical spectrum, and not those who listen to universally slated charted rubbish. But as stated earlier there is no one demographic this film aspires to appeal to as, for example, most people will see the latest Hollywood blockbuster even if that is not the style of program they would watch on T.V. i would expect people to watch the film as it is a bloody good film, and has some extremely cheesy (and so very funny) moments in it, e.g the "worlds gayest run".

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product

The use of technology needed be more complex than first expected, as originally all that was used/needed was the Adobe Premiere Elements and my camera, but due to unforeseen technical difficulties i had to have the files converted with the use of a different laptop and then re uploaded onto Adobe due to the system being incompatible with the software on my camera and so causing Adobe to freeze and crash. The camera had other problems as well as the incompatibility, it was over sensitive to sound and for an unknown reason the picture was darkened when it was uploaded into the editing software, and there was a strange glitch that meant at the start and and of each clip there was no sound, that however may have been caused by the conversion of the footage needed for it to work on Adobe.

No extra know how was needed for the on line element of the project, as i already knew how to use sites such as YouTube and Blogger.
