Evaluation Question 3Nina Hochtritt

• YouTube I think that YouTube is quite a good way to distribute new films or newcomer products because you can upload films produced with a lower budget. Also could the trailer or the opening sequence play in the adverts before the actual video.

What kind of media institution might distribute your Media Product

and why?

Other ways• Cinema The cinema is a unrealistic way to distribute a newcomer film with a low budget. But also the trailer could play in the adverts before the actual film.

• Film fairs In film fairs are a lot of newcomer products as an intro for another film or as a help to publish a new product. I think that this is a step further on in the way up but it is possible if you for example know someone who works in this industry.

• TV The TV is one of the most common ways to distribute new films. Trailers play in an advert or you see a logo what could make curious on what this may belong to.

Local Odeon- What’s on?

The most common genre is definitely Drama with 71% of the films. I assume this occurs because people want to find an either perfect life or want to escape from their lives where they may have problems. In Dramas often ends everything good for the protagonists and the characters have their “Happy Ever After”.

These screenshots show the current program of the local odeon.

My Genre?

• Our opening sequence is a psychological thriller. In our Odeon is in the moment not 1 Thriller currently on screen.

• Maybe the time are for people a bit more difficult and they don’t want to see a world where everything is more creepy than it already is.

Woking Cinema?

There are differences in the cinema programme what could be because there live more children in Woking or in general are the people there more interested in films which could also be watched by children. Though Woking plays with Spectre one thriller. Obviously is the audience a bit more multifaceted.

These screenshots show the current films in the Woking cinema.

Results

• I think that the differences comes from the different population who live in the different areas.

• Also could the cinema in Woking be bigger so there are more screens that they are able to show more and different films to the same time.

Independent BFI

These screenshots show the programme of the BFI. It includes mainly dramas and action films. Only “The 5th wave” is a thriller. This is again not my genre but at least is there one film. I guess that is because the audience may not want to see films which are so close to the audience and focus on the stage of mind.

Independent Cinema Reading

The independent cinema in Reading shows in January 6 films where all of them are Drama films but “Bridge of spies” is also a thriller. This shows that the target audience probably just want to escape from reality. I assume that a lot of people want to see happy ends in the films. MacBeth is a tragedy but a lot of people know what happens in this historical play. I think that the audience in this cinema are predominantly female and middle class.

This picture shows the films on screen in the IC in Reading.

Independent Cinema British Museum

In this cinema is usually only 1 film shown. Therefore the cinema has only one screen and must be quite small. I guess that this is not a normal cinema and that they only show films what are too small to be on screen in the big cinemas. Further shows this cinemas a documentation and a Christmas special. This says about the TA that they are probably a bit older. Teenager are mainly not interested in documentations.

These screenshots show the current program in the IC of the British Museum.

Results

• The programme is not too different to the Odeon Cinemas because everywhere are a lot of dramas shown.

• But while Odeon and the British Museum have no thriller in their programme is in Reading currently one thriller on screen

• To sum up is the programme different but the most prevalent genre is the same (Drama)

Oscars

This is a summary of the most winning Oscar films. The most common genre to get Oscars seems to be “Drama” and “Romantic”. That tells me that these genres are more successful than thrillers and more people are going to see a romance in the cinema or in the TV than a thriller.

This photo shows the films with the most Oscars.

Golden Globes

TV series

The most awards were won by films from the drama genre. Dramas can be interesting and maybe some people love to watch them. Maybe they are more likely to win prices because thrillers are quite weird and not everybody wants to see that on the screen.

This photo shows the films with the most Oscars.

Venice International Film Festival

In the Venice international film festival are mainly dramas and only “Miss Violence” and “Tom at the farm” are thrillers. “Tom at the farm” is a psychological thriller what is the genre of my opening sequence. But still are a lot of dramas in the list. Maybe a lot of people love dramas also because they are quite close to the people but are not really weird so actually you could say that they want to identify with these films.This photo shows the films

primed at the VI film festival

Conclusion

• I think that you can see very clearly that the most common genres that wins prices are “Drama” and “Romantic” I think this occurs through the need of people to escape from reality and find film characters who have their happy ever after. Especially teenagers are sometimes desperate to see a romance.

Screenshot TV program 1



Where could our film been shown?

Independent cinema vs. Odeon?• I think that a film with a lower budget and not

professional actors or a director would rather be published in an independent cinema. The programme is not that mainstream as it is in the Odeon

• On the other hand might the audience in the independent cinema not be the target audience for our film what wouldn’t be the problem in the Odeon. I think that there are just more people who go into the Odeon than in an independent cinema.

BBC vs. Film 4• I think that BBC wouldn’t be a bad idea

because they have in general a lower budget.• Film 4 shows more adverts and it would be

more the genre what Film 4 plays• But I think that it is more possible that the film

might be played on BBC. Also is the audience of BBC more interested in thrillers what you can see in series like “Silent Witness”

Forums online?

• Forums online can be a clever way to distribute your product. I think it would be a good idea because everybody can upload his work and for some you don’t even have to pay. Also is it a good idea because everybody can see your product.

Young filmmakers competition

• The young filmmaker competition is a good way to show other people your product and also to see what other young people have for ideas. My research has shown that short clips of these films can be shown in cinemas and I think it is a really good idea to distribute your media product in that way

YouTube

• YouTube is probably the easiest way to promote and distribute a new film even when it is just from newcomers.

• E.g. when before the actual video is a spot from a new trailer or something like adverting the spot before different videos than maybe someone sees it and likes it.

Most possible idea of distribution

Young film maker competitions • I really think that you can achieve a lot over these

competitions because it is not too stuck-up to take part and if someone important sees your film and likes it you took a big step forward

YouTube• YouTube is the easy way to promote things but I am

not sure that they really can do a lot more than that. But our project has on YouTube already 155 views and 5 likes. I think that this is a big achievement
