Audience Feedback

In one of our lesson two of out classes joined together in order to give feedback on each other's videos.  Below is the different feedback that we got from our video, a lot of it was very helpful into seeing where we could have gone better, or what people thought was effective.

I got the impression that people really liked the use of slow-motion shots on the black background, something which as a group we were also really proud of. 

One of the criticisms that we got was that they didn't really understand the storyline that much, that it wasn't that clear to the people watching.  However, most people managed to guess in the right direction on what it may be about.

Another criticism was the necessity of the first part of the video, in that it didn't really need to be there. I sort of agree with that however, if it wasn't included then it would have been a lot harder to try and understand what the storyline was as a lot of people noticed how it was all going on inside of her hear due to the contrast of the two settings.

Evaluation Task 3

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

We decided that if we were to create the entire film we would want our film to be a mid-budget psychological thriller. We would film it within the UK, using a British cast but would want our final film to be distributed with an American company as we believe that this would enable the film to have a wider audience over seas as well as at home.

We looked into a few potential companies to distribute our film but found that many of them didn't fit the type of company that we wanted to be our distributors.  We then decided that the company that fit our criteria best was Sony Pictures Classics an "independent" film division of Sony Pictures Entertainment. When looking into other films that it has produced such we noticed that they are all more based around a story line and the people within it rather then trying to distributed high-budget, tent-pole movies that other American companies such as Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox are used to producing.

We also noticed that for movies which it has recently distributed such as Blue Jasmine and Magic in the Moonlight, they both have relatively high budgets, $18 million and $16.8 million.  So for our film, which we would base the budget around the same budget that it took to produce The Black Swan, $13 million, then we are in the right price range for the types of films that they distribute.

When distributing our film we would hope to make profits from the cinema, but not within the opening weekend because we realise that it wouldn't be a tent-pole movie that would have thousands of people coming to watch it in its first weekend.
