Evaluation Question 4
4.How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Our thriller represented the youths quite badly, as we made them look like criminals and dangerous people, it shows how youths are capable of taking another ones life for the sweet intention of money or reputation. (stereotypes) , And how also living in deprived areas can cause such things to happen, our film sort of resembles the movie 'boyz n da hood' by John Singleton , Singleton's film and our film make the young males and females(youth)seem hopeless and have a single minded approach to life which is to get money anyway possible.
In our Film this is shown by a youth murdering another youth in order to receive a payment. This sort of film comes under the urban genre with other films like kidulthood and adulthood. Our films also makes adults mainly parents seem quite oblivious as they are not around most of the time an quite neglectful as they are unaware of what their children are doing throughout the day.
This is a poster of the urban genre success Kidulthood.

Evaluation Question 3
3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product & why?
Well our thriller (R.E.D Nation), would be distributed by columbia pictures, as they've released many thrillers that involve around gang and crime, my favourite one is "boyz n the hood", and i think our film would do well if distributed by theses companies as they have a similar background.
If not columbia pictures maybe the curzon because they distribute small british films and then the publicity of the film increases an example of this is the kings speech another example would be adulthood which is the sequel to the success 'kidulthood'. They distribute small films with low budgets as the cast and directors are unknown so this would be beneficial for my film and my group as we have made a small film with a very low budget and the curzon could publicise it well like they did to kidulthood and adulthood.
Another small independent distribution company such as metrodome would be able to distribute our film for the same reasons as the curzon. Below (1st) is a picture of the metrodome distribution company logo and beneath that is a screen grab of the curzon website , this is where our film and information on it would be available if curzon were to distribute our film red nation.

Evaluation Question 2

2. Who is the audience of your thriller?
The audience for our thriller is mainly aimed at the younger generation (youth) who enjoy the sort of urban genre films which is where our film red nation falls into. If possible we would like to reach the older age group as everyone from the teenage years and above can relate to this film as many may have witnessed scenes like this or have children who need to be aware of the things that can be happening around them and how to avoid them situations instead of being oblivious. Also Audience research has shown that the youths would prefer this type of film to another other age groups as films like kidulthood and adulthood which fall into the genre were very popular within this age group. kidulthood and adulthood were both success stories and made a lot of profit for British films and they publicised the british film industry more. The photo above represents our target audience the teenagers (youth)
