Task 3 and 4 / What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? and who would be the audience for your media product?

Our thriller could fall under the category of a war film. And has potential to fall under both high concept big budget war film or a low concept character driven plot line. We did some research on both areas, and came to find a few other films that could relate to ours. Since our movie has minor explosions and an interrogation scene of high concept films we found it could relate to The Expendables, The Hurtlocker or Rendition. Made by the companies Colombia pictures, New line cinema and Millennium Films.
But it was probable that our film was going to be distributed by a independent British film company such as Studio Canal or vertigo. It would be production funded by film 4 or BBC films. Our target audience would be 16-24 males, which appeals to both educated and uneducated people, for example there are a lot of men that go to the military to own money to go to college so therefore they would also be interested in watching a film like this because it is action packed and has a complex storyline, with political and cultural references. It is not just restricted to a British audience but can appeal to a wider and international audiences, thanks to the cultural references which people are aware of internationally.


The production would involve working with a limited budget that would mean finding new talent and would not be able to get A-list actors. We would want to film on location to make it more realistic, however that does not mean going to Iraq but to find a location that is similar like Morocco, because you still have to work with a small budget. Our film was not shot there as it was too expensive, therefore of it was made in a studio. We are going to go to film festivals to show our movie to cause awareness and because we are with Studio Canal or Vertigo they are big enough to show us in the cinema.
