How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
I would pair both questions one and two in the same media that I explained in the last blog post.
My target audience is middle-aged men but it is not limited to just them. The reason that they are the target is because that is usually who is interested in horror/mystery movies.
My film would engage my audiences and show them the mind of a psychotic person and the extremes he goes to get away with his crimes. They get glimpses into his mind and why he does what he does, they get to connect with him and see how normal he can act and pretend like he does nothing wrong. This could get the audience to question if the person right next to them is hiding something worse than what they see.
Not only that but this film will bring up questions about the healthcare industry. It will make the people who watch it question if the people who are in control of the healthcare industry do it for the money. As we know healthcare in the United States is significantly higher in cost than many other places. For example, the average cost for one American's healthcare is $14,570 while the average cost for someone who lives in the UK is 4,188 euros.
Distribution
To distribute it we could start small by requesting it to go to a film festival. Since our film is a mystery/horror a good film festival to request it to would be Screamfest. It is a very popular film festival for the horror genre and would get the attention of many others if we manage to get it on screen. It is done from October 7th-16th being the perfect time for a horror/mystery with Halloween coming up. It is located in Beverly Hills CA giving us a good chance of getting recognized by bigger companies that could help us distribute further. Uploading it on YouTube could be a good way to start off and get it out to the public. Getting it onto bigger streaming platforms could be a reach for a smaller production but it is good to still try.
