Amanda Wan - Question 3

Question 3 – What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Our media product "Broken Beauty" would be very suitable to be distributed by an independent distribution company such as 20th Century Fox or Entertainment Films as our audience group is a niche one due to the fact that the content of our story line such as the issue of stalking is mostly related to young teenage school girls between the age of 14 - 18. 

Another reason as to why an independent distribution company would be our choice to distribute our media product is because our media product deals with more "real" issue in reality which our audience can relate to in contrast to the bigger issues in society which mainstream movie production companies tend to incorporate into their films to make it much more interesting and can therefore attract a bigger audience group would seem much more distant from the audiences normal daily life. The issues which our media product has targeted which audience could actually relate to would be a less interesting storyline for commercial viewers and will therefore only attract a more niche audience group.

We have decided to create our own distribution company which we have name it "Smashed Mirror Productions", the image which we have chosen to use for our logo is a smashed mirror which ties in with the exact meaning of the name of our production company.

Through my "Credits Research", I have also learned about the importance of credits within the title sequence of a movie. The order of names and job positions usually depend on their importance. Generally in a mainstream film the names of the lead actors would appear before the director as they will tend to be well  known actors or actresses as mainstream movies are usually a very big production which costs millions, but as our media product is an independent one, our director plays the most important role and was therefore the first to appear on the credits list. Other important names include the producer.
