Evaluation Question 5

Evaluation Question 4

The industry categories audiences into to main groups, tent-pole/global audiences, and domestic/national audiences. In some cases the audience that the film is trying to get distributed to can be described as niche.


Tent-pole or global audiences can be used to describe a film that is trying to get to as many people as possible. The themes within the film tend to appeal to a wider range of people (as many as possible). An example of a Tent-pole audience film is, Pixar Animation Studios, Cars (2006).


Domestic or national audiences can be used to describe a film that has the intention of reaching an audience based in a certain area of a country, or the whole country. In case of British film, the themes within the film's tend to target historical or cultural relevance. An example of this is BBC Films’, Pride (2014).


Our film is a niche genre and subject. This means we are likely to be targeting a domestic audience. Due to the themes within the film the primary audience will be a male audience. This would also mean that our likely casting actors would be small to unknown names with little experience in indie films.


The BBFC are an non-governmental body that classifies both theatrical released films and DVD copies. They classify films from U (anyone can watch) to 18 (viewers of age 18 or over). An example of a recent film under inspection was ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’. The BBFC insight to this noted moderate violence, and threat resulting in a 12A classification.

Evaluation: Question 3

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

A distributor is (generally) a company that handles the marketing and theatrical release of the film. Depending on the distribution company this could be on both global and national scales. There are two main types of markets and target audiences, these are:

 - Global tent-pole: This targets as many people as possible meaning that the marketing will not be kept on a national scale, but international.

- Local independent: This targets a niche market of people. On very small budget films the marketing net may be further narrowed to a region, opposed to national marketing.

The main thing that would make the choice of institute to distribute the film is the funding or budget that the film has. If the film has a really small budget to get all the production and distribution done then an independent distributor, such as Film4 and Microwave. Conglomerates are the other types of distributors that we could go into co-productions with, although these usually fully cover the distribution of the film during it’s theatrical release, they usually are after a pre-established production team.

 Film 4:

Film 4 is Channel 4 Television’s film division used to develop and co-finance films. They are known for working with distinctive and innovative British talent, both new and previously established. Examples of films they have been involved in recent years include: Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave and Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire.

BBC Film:

BBC Films was founded in 1990. It co-produces around 8 films a year, working with major distributors both nationally and internationally. Recent movies include X + Y and Mr. Holmes.

Studio Canal:

Studio canal is a French based distribution company that owns the third largest film library in the word. The company is a unit of the Canal+ Group, which is owned by Vivendi. Recent releases include Paddington (2014), Shaun the Sheep Movie (2015), and MacBeth (2015).

Microwave Film London:

Microwave funds film as well as give development and mentoring support to shortlisted projects, also including production finance and distribution support to final commissioned films.

Evaluation Question 1

Final Film

First Draft

Production: Title and Ident audience testing

For the testing of the indents and title font style the choice to use the online questionnaire, https://www.surveymonkey.com/ . This is to allow ease of access to many people all at once. This means the audience test group can be the whole KS5 opposed to just a handful of students. The final survey will be posted on here after completion.

Production: Google Drive

Due to some of the team being unable to attend some of the post-production time, the decision to make and use a shared space for us all to access anywhere was taken. The use of Google Drive allows all members to access the footage and the latest edits that we have taken. All edited footage is to be dated and clearly labelled for other members of the group to have ease of access.

Production: Importing

Today the footage we filmed last month has been imported and saved onto the hard drive of the computer we will be using for our editing.
