Evaluation Task 3

"What kind of media institution might distribute your media product?"

 With our piece this is a very difficult question to answer due to the fact that there is an argument to suggest that it could be pursued by a large Hollywood film company such as Sony or Warner Pictures, but it could also be argued that this film would be more appropriate for an independent British company to make such as Bonafide Films. One of the films in which influenced us the most was '28 days later' which was made by DNA Films and The British Film Council. There are both independent British film companies and therefore have a reputation for producing fairly low budget films. Realistically considering with the facilities of a school the budget would be low so therefore a company which uses low budgets may be better suited.

Having said this, our idea originally some sort of apocalypse meaning whoever was in the tent (Adam) would have been potentially the last surviver. This links into some of the set we used for example boarding up the windows, this would suggest lonliness but also that he is scared of what could potentially be outside the house. The concept of an apocalypse is one that you can imagine Hollywood doing however, and it already has in films such as 'I am Legend' by Warner Bros. The fact that a big company can succesfully produce a film similar to this could potentially suggest that they might be interested in making another as they could almost guarantee success.

I think whether our film was produced by a large or small company, so therefore whether it had a high or low budget, it would be a success either way. The opening title sequence is impressive and our original plan of what the whole film would be based on is good as well. Apocalyptic films have proved to be successful in the past such as 'I am Legend' and 'Independence Day', which shows they work and gives our film more of a chance if it were to be produced.
