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

I have decided on an institution that is neither vertically or horizontally integrated. They are called 'Entertainment Film Distributors' who are a British distributor of independent films in the UK and Ireland for various production companies which is ideal for my product because it is culturally based in the UK London.  Entertainment have released and distributed films internationally however they are based in London, UK.

I have chosen this institution because they distribute various types of genres from horror, romance, western, action and thrillers. They have distributed may thrillers over the years for example: 'Dungeon Dragon' (2000), 'American Psycho' (2000) & 'Freddy VS Jason' (2003). 

I chose 'Entertainment' because of them not being independent they may be more open to distributing amateur films.

4. How did you attract/address your audience? 

Using past and present information I used questionnaires, online surveys and social networking techniques such as texts and iMessage. 

The results that I gathered gave me an insight into what target audiences would be appropriate

for my media product. My research was targeted at mainlys students ranging from 15 to 19 years old.

7. Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

Looking back at our preliminary task I feel that my knowledge has really been expanded. I have learnt  how to now use the programs equipment correctly. From the rules set for the preliminary task such as the 180 degree rule our group has learnt how to create and use different camera shots to highlight different emotions and also hide the undiscovered motive of my lead protagonist, in my media product, which allows the audience to keep guessing and highlight our convention of suspense. Overall I have definitely grown in confidence with using these programs and creating a specific media product. Considering on how minimalistic my equipment and props were, I had to take and use most of my knowledge from my preliminary task and entwine them into my final product in order to create a complex story line.
