"How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?" This, is the second CCR question that I will be answering. This prompt is basically asking me how do I incorporate a connection between the viewer and the piece, and how would I distribute this if it were to become a full production movie or series. In order to answer this question properly, I think it is important that I divide my answer into two parts.
I made this product with the purpose of being targeted at a teenage and young adult audience. Particularly those who like pieces that are heavy on action, mystery, and technology. My piece engages with the audience in two distinct ways. The piece makes the audience feel suspenseful as expected from an action film, but also makes them have a growing sense of curiosity about what the main character is trying to accomplish with the attempted hacking. On top of that however, my project offers the unique touch which is that the hacker is a young teenager. The incorporation of a younger character not only changes conventions as previously stated in my first CCR blog post, but also helps make the younger target audience feel consequentially more engaged. Because the audience is of a similar age group, they are naturally more inclined to feel a personal connection with the character.
Now, let's talk about what would be the most efficient way for me to distribute this if it were to theoretically become a real media text. In today's world, more and more digital is becoming the most popular, prominent, and convenient way to spread practically any kind of media. Specifically, the introduction of social media in the early 2000's has proven to be the most effective way to spread and more specifically advertise media text. Because of this I would most likely use the power of platforms such as Youtube for free and easy reach and I would likely later go on to distribute my piece on major streaming platforms such as Netflix or Hulu if the piece gathers enough attention and engagement.
Script:
My product is aimed at a teenage and young adult audience who are interested in action, mystery, and technology. It engages the audience by creating suspense through the hacking process and building curiosity about what the main character is trying to uncover.
The use of quick cuts, close-ups of screen and keyboard, over the shoulder shots, POV shots, and selects soundscapes helps maintain tension and keeps viewers interested.
If released as a real finalized movie, it would likely stray away from releasing physical copies and rather be promoted on major social media platforms like Youtube as well as distributed on a major streaming platform such as Netflix or Paramout.
