Evaluation Question 3

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? I would have a mainstream film company distribute my film, as the product would be produced by an independent company, so the budget may not be able to cover everything, so a deal with a mainstream company can be seen as more efficient, and has been done often in the film industry. This is because the Big 6 are mainstream film companies that create and own many franchises, meaning they are highly successful when producing and especially distributing their products. The mainstream company would be able to distribute my film in many unique ways that an independent company would not be able to do, for example creating a Snapchat filter to promote the film and word of mouth, or getting the cast to mention and promote the film in interviews or events set up before the release to generate more interest from and attract an audience. An independent company would have a smaller budget (unless they had a c...

POV Shots and Over the Shoulder shots Point of View (POV) Shots- This shot is very personal as the audience are looking at the environment through the eyes of a character, usually a protagonist.

Close-Ups: Extreme Close up- Used for a specific reason, for example to show an emotion of a character and to focus on a particular area of the image, for example with the image on the right, the viewer is drawn to the subject's eyes and the reflection in their glasses, as some form of action is taking place, so it intrigues the audience and catches their eye. This shot can connote mystery and can be seen as very dramatic, often used in horrors/thrillers to create tension and suspense within the audience. Close-up- This shot is good for showing detail and can be used as a cut in (refers to showing some part of the subject in detail). In this example, instead of showing one feature such as the eyes, the whole face is shown, which makes it easier to portray the subject's emotion and exaggerates their facial expression. Medium Close Up- Is a in-between a mid shot and a close up , so it isn't too close that only the face is seen, so to a small extent, body la...
