Preliminary Task

The Watcher

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

Firstly, i believe that some of the Sky Movie channels, especially Sky Movies Action and Thriller channel would be likely to show and advertise my film as this channel would show simular films and would also be watched by the intended target audience, of teenagers/young adults, between the ages of 15-25.




Also, channels such as ITV usually advertise films (something the BBC cant do) and i believe they would advertise my film too, bearing in mind that it was advertised after the watershed. This is because ITV, especially ITV 2, mostly show TV drama shows and people into these kinds of shows are more likely to also find a thriller film appealing.



Lastly, another institution that would advertise my film would be in the cinema. This would be successful as it could be shown as a trailer before films, specifically other thriller films, therefore directly appealing to the intended target audience of a thriller film.




Lastly, magazines and radio stations are likely to advertise my thriller as they are both medias that are popular with the teenage/young adult demographic that i am appealing to. An example would be a radio station such as Kiss, as this is primarily listened to by a younger audience.

  1. Ok- you've covered lots of different kinds of Media here. I wonder who would have produced your film i.e what film industry production house- I would suggest focusing on a UK company perhaps one that produces thrillers like Vertigo.JIN
