Question 3

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

Our title sequence makes use of the 'sci-fi thriller' genre. Within this genre, typically you will see that there are a group of individuals that are part of a rebellious movement and therefore will be an uprising of some sort. Our film aims to target teenagers from the ages of 13-20 from any background. However we try to cater towards computer enthusiasts as younger individuals are often interested in computer hacking and other related activities.

 We gained inspiration and ideas from various films that we researched, especially involving hacking and propaganda within governments. For example, the film 'Matrix' we took various aspects from that such as the hacking, and we were also inspired from 'V For Vendetta' in terms of the corruption and immoral control of the country in the film, and how the protagonists revolts against it. We also decided to name our film 'L337' as it is a common gaming term for 'elite' and therefore will spark interest from the 'nerdy' audience that we are appealing to.

We chose MGM as the distributor of our film as we believe it relates the most to the genre of our film, and would be the most appropriate choice. This is because MGM distribute many sci-fi/action films, such as James Bond, which are similar to ours. They also target a similar audience to what we're trying to achieve as films like James Bond tend to attract a younger audience because of all the interesting technology and gadgets which are created for the purpose of the film. We have created the production company 'Python Productions' as it is very appropriate to the theme of the film and relates to hacking, as Python is a programming language on the computer and have connotations of hacking and computer science.
