Homework Task

How does your product engage with audiences?

Our product "The Everyday Assassin" engages with audiences, by building suspense, climax, curiosity and fear. Our audience as the watch this film, will not feel any suspense in the beginning stages, however as the film progresses we see that the climax is lifted and a fear factor is portrayed. Our audience would include anyone from the age of 13+. The reason for this age mark is that there are some conventions and thrilling scene that portray danger and violence. Our audience would be anyone interested in action thriller films, seeing as that is the theme we are trying to go for. Through intense music, camera angles, mise en scene and editing our product engages with the audience to give them a thriller experience. The audience will also experience a twist in our film, we when show that this is a family problem. In our film, the "Boss" character has pitted two brothers against each other. When the film first starts we see that the brothers are very happy with each other and this is shown through a photograph. However as the film progresses we see that the same photograph is scrunched up and thrown away. This symbolizes that the brothers do not have a very good relationship and therefore the audience can predict what happens next. The main character calls the boss due to receiving a file about his brother. In this file the main character is ordered to kill his brother. As the main character and the boss talk on the phone, we see the brother walk past the window. The last shot of this film in the phone opening and banging. This series of events give the audience a thrilling ride through our film and it finishes with an unexpected twist. 

How does your product engage with your audience and how would you distribute it as a real media text?

There are many ways in distributing media texts, such as social media platforms, film festivals, production companies and much more. In my answer I will be talking about how you would distribute a film like our one. A good way to distribute our short film would be to look into niche markets. A niche market is a small, specialized market for a particular product or service. This basically means that to try and get your film to a wider audience the best place to start would be to show it to a smaller audience that is very interest in the film. This way they have a higher chance of enjoying the film, giving it a good rating, and telling others about it. Social media is a big platform to distribute media. It is a short and simple task that can take your film into popularity. This distribution technique is probably the best way for us to branch out, without spending any money or taking up too much time. International markets are another good way of distributing your film because if your film is of a western theme, then foreigners are more likely to watch it, because they want to know what living in a western world is like.
