Question 3What kind of media institution might distribute your media

product and why?

Our film would be distributed by a mainstream distributor due to the following factors:• Use of conventions • Audience• Title sequence• Links between other films distributed by that

distributor

Use of conventions/stereotypes

• We have used many conventions in our opening sequence such as suspense/mystery, ambiguity, the narrative and the stereotypes we have used are the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ teenager. Therefore, our film would be distributed by a mainstream distributor as we have used the conventions and stereotypes rather than challenged them, so it will be easier for the audience to identify with.

Audience

• As a result of the audience being mainstream, our film would be suitable to that audience because we have followed the conventions of a thriller. Therefore, it will be something the audience can expect and the narrative will be easy to understand for them.

Title sequence

• Due to the title sequence our film would be distributed by a mainstream distributor because the star names are before the film name.
