Media Evaluatiuon Question 3

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

As our Media product will have niche market it is most likely going to be distributed by smaller local media institutions. For example so of the Media institutions that may distribute our product would be Phoenix Picture House this on Walton St Oxford. This cinema will screen niche films and is a lot smaller compared to other cinemas like Odeon, there for I think this cinema is a fantastic way at distributing our product as it wont be as expensive and will target our specific audience. Its also in very good location which is populated and gives us a high chance of getting our product seen.



Oxford Mail would also be a very successful way of distributing our product as it is local and a lot of people read the oxford mail it wont be very expensive. Parents may read this and inform their teenagers about the film they see and may recommend it to others which can then get people talking about it.



Magazines would distribute our product. For example Total film will be a good way of getting our media product distributed and targeting our target audience with people ages between 15 to 20 it advertises action films and our final product will fit in perfectly within this magazine its very popular with teenagers and is a popular film magazine

media key terms

In our lesson we were looking at different technical terms that can be used when analysing a film. I'm going to find there meaning and write a definition so that I remember the ones that I'm not to sure on.




Key camera angle definitions:

Framing: The process of selecting what is to be framed by a particular film or shot, for example; characters, setting and iconography.

Rule of thirds: The rule of thirds is a guideline which applies to the process of filming and photography.

Depth of field: Depth of field is the distance between the nearest and furthest object in the scene that appearance exceptionally sharp in an image.

Deep focus: It's a photographic and cinematographic technique using a large depth of field.

Shallow focus: This technique is the opposite to deep focus which incorporates a small depth of field.

Focus pulls: Focus pulls are used to shift the focal point from one part of a scene to another. For example; an actor may be in focus at a distance of 20 feet from the camera at the far side of the room and the shot includes a telephone in the foreground which is out of focus, as the phone rings, the actor turns and the focus puller pulls focus so that the phone becomes sharp and the actor goes out of focus.

 cutaway:
A cutaway is a shot that's usually of something other than the current action. It could be a different subject (eg. this cat when the main subject is its owner), a close up of a different part of the subject (eg. the subject's hands), or just about anything else.
The cutaway is used as a "buffer" between shots (to help the editing process), or to add interest/information

Key
Denotation: The first and simplest level of a meaning of an image.

Connotation: A meaning attributable to an image beyond the obvious denotational level.

TV Dramas are frequent over exaggerated portrayals of real life. e.g. romance and death through strong stereo typical characters

Representation: Key concepts of the process whereby the media constructs versions of people, places and events in images, words or sound for transmission through media texts to an audience.

Enigma: A narrative structure that narrates the creation of riddles or problems to be sorted by resolution

preliminary task- filming

This is our short clip for our preliminary task we had to film someone walking through the doors and sitting down having a one on one conversation with them. Overall i thought it was successful but their are a number of different elements we will need to improve on when it comes to filming our final product
