AS media evaluation question 7

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

For our preliminary exercise we did a continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. We were to demonstrate match on action of the door handle opening, shot/reverse/shot of the characters speaking and the 180-degree rule. In our film we used a match on the bedroom door as Adam leaves it to go down stairs. Also we used a shot/reverse/shot when Adam is confronted by the silhouette of the alien, as Adam slowly reaches out to the alien the camera jumps from his face to the silhouette. We also kept to the 180 degree rule throughout the recording, as we did more recording we got used to using these techniques and rules. Other methods we used were things like long takes, establishing shots etc.

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

We decided to use a small independent film distribution company called ‘Left Film Distribution’ who after a bit of research found that they have distributed a small variety of low budget new independent movies to the UK through cinemas, DVD's, and digital downloads. Many of 'Left Film Distribution' movies are in the horror, sci-fi and action offer new work for the new generation of film makers which are similar to ours. They also offer a fresh approach to independent film distribution, with audience engagement and social media marketing. 

Our film may have turned out differently if we had chosen a larger and more well-known distributor such as Warner Bro’s as they have links to a huge conglomerate which owns a broadcasting network as well as multiple popular magazines which means we would have a larger budget to work with. Therefore our film could’ve received more attention if we had a more popular distributor with better funds.

This is an example of a sci-fi film that was released by 'Left Film Distribution' this film is similar to our idea but less violence and a lower certificate. These are 8 examples of movies that 'Left Film Distribution' have distributed. This distribution company helps getting low budget films to get noticed, for low budget films these actually did surprisingly well averaging around 5 on iMDB
