Evaluation Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?
  • My target audience are teenagers

  • Their favorite genre of films are horror, comedy, action and sci-fi.
  • During the weekend some teenagers stay at home surfing the the internet, out shopping, hanging out with friends, working or spending time with family. Mainly out and about, traveling by either walking, riding a bike or catching a bus.
  • Their favorite drink mainly consists of anything high in sugar, preferably something fizzy. For example Red bull, Lucozade, KA, Bigga etc
  • Most teenagers don't eat breakfast cereal, but if they had to choose one it would be something along the lines of Coco pops, Weetos or Frosties. My guess would be anything sweet even if it is the unhealthy option.
  • The majority of teens use public transport such as the bus as it is the only free transport that allows you to get somewhere quite some distance away quickly, and to us up as little energy as possible.
  • Most teens avoid eating vegetables and mainly live on a diet of chicken and chips which is highly unacceptable in the eyes of some people. They would only be eaten if provided though convenience.
  • Almost all teens are familiar with the sport football and have probably played it at lease once in their life whether it was compulsory or not. Most males watch this sport regularly as this is one of the most popular sports in the UK.
  • Most teens like adults would like to go on holiday somewhere where is it either hot or where they can shop for things whether its clothing or gadgets. As long as there is some sort of entertainment they would be content.
  • The most popular restaurant teens go to is Nandos. This is a restaurant that sells Portuguese food and can be found anywhere! Especially near cinema's
I think our film would appeal to our target audience as it is almot reflecting themselves in a way as most teenagers are put in the same situation of having to get bus and shortcuts. Mainly beacuse we all like to get things done quicker due to pure laziness and this film would almost be a lesson in itself. Our film involves a group of teenagers, and i believe that this makes it more realistic as most teenagers dont like traveling by themselves and if they do they would be listening to music with was dangers in itself as you wouldnt be able to see anything coming. I do thing that realism plays a big part in most horror films and the fact that this film we have made are based on teenagers would make it more appealing that being a vulnerable lady in the middle of nowhere.

Evaluation Question 3

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

There are many different ways to fund a film. One way that you would be able to get funding would be to get.

Funding opportiunities

There are many different funding opportunities out there for people who are trying to get into the filming industry. There are loans available, government grants, Tax schemes, tax shelters, UK Film Council and BFI.
 The UK Film Council use to fund filming projects until early April 2001 “responsibilities for ensuring that the economic, cultural and educational aspects of film are effectively represented at home and abroad transfer to the British Film Institute (BFI) and Film London.”

Loans you can obviously get from banks etc.
You could apply for a government grants. The government would give you the money as it would benefit them in multiple ways. You can also get sponsored by different people.
You can even ask studios th fund you
