Evaluation Question 3

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

Although in the "Audience research" part of the blog I said that Universal Pictures might distribute my media product because they have distributed films of a similar genre before such as Public enemies, I now think that "Miramax Films" would be more appropriate as they distributed Reservoir Dogs which is a film that is very similar to my own. My film is very similar as Reservoir Dogs and my own text as in both there is an intricate plot, fast pace editing, and in the first 2 mins of this film there is a meet of all the character to discuss the future and this is the same in my media text. Also my film is similar to Reservoir Dogs as during the robbery in both films a character gets shot, however after this part of the film they are different as in Reservoir Dogs the remainder of the film is in a warehouse where the man who has been shot is waiting for the criminal gang doctor to arrive so he can be seen to then the police arrive and things get worse. In my film they dump the man who has been shot at the hospital and carry on with the police pursuit.

I have kept within the regulatory rules for this type of text as i have kept within the guidelines of the issues such as language, discrimination, violence, sex and drugs.

There will be limited amounts of swearing in the film and there will not be the strongest of swear words such as C**t. The swearing will be limited to words such as "Shit" and will only be used in the context such as a character being shot or if the police arrive.

There will be no discrimination in our film however there will be violence, this will include some blood such as when characters are punched or shot. There will not be violence in every scene, in fact most of the violence will occur during the bank robbery when they use guns to threaten the public whilst stealing money.

There will be seduction used in our film as there will be villains used to try and steal the money from Matthew and Chris as they make their get-a-way after dropping Jacob off in the hospital however there will be no sex scenes in the film so this will keep our film within the 15 age group.

There will be no glamorisation of drugs in the film however there might be drugs shown as the crew enter different settings and also there is to be some drug references during conversations throughout the film. As we have not broken any of the guidelines above it ensures that our film is a 15, this is good as this means that our target audience will legally be allowed to view our film in the cinema and on DVD.
