Fadila Kara- Question 3

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

·         Our thriller could be seen as independent.  We challenged some of the conventions but we still maintained many of the elements in a psychological thriller. For example  the use of  non- diegetic  music  which was particularly eerie in comparison to  the typical  music you  would  here at  the beginning  of  psychological thrillers. However because the narrative to  our  thriller is   mainstream, we  would distribute  our  thriller   by  a  mainstream   distributor  like  20^th Century Fox  which  in general  distribute  films of all  genres.   20^th Century Fox have also distributed films that are not conventional like, the psychological thriller   “Fight Club."  

          In order to gain inspiration for the opening sequence to our thriller we did someproduct research  decided to analyse  the  opening  to  “  Fight Club”   so  that  I  could identify what types  of   techniques  we could use  to  make our  film  mainstream.  The use of camera shots identifies the film as mainstream. The  point of  view  shots  of the   problematic character, allowed  the  audience  to   get  inside  the  characters  mind and  to try and  figure  out   why  they are  so disturbed.
