Question three; What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Due to the controversiality of the narrative of the film and niche appeal, an independent film company would be more ideal. One in mind would be Lionsgate films which was founded in 1962 by John Dunning and Andre Link. Lionsgate films is an Canadian-American film production/distribution studio. It focuses on foreign and independent films. Due to how their previous films such as Lolita and American Psycho have been well recievced within the american film market but also on a large demographic scale, Purity would be an ideal film representitive.

Lolita- An American-French drama film. It is the second screen adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov book entitled 'Lolita'.

The original threatical release poster

Lolita(1997) has only just been appreciated fully within the 21st century. Due to how many critics found it contovershal upon how an middle aged man could fall in 'love' with a 14 year old girl. However the film is not about copilation which many critics has stated as its about realtionships and the consequences of imprudent actions. Lolita was additionally written in 1955 by Vladimir Nabokov therefore the main themes of the film will be differ from the norms and values of this present society.Lolita gave us many character ideas which we used within sister judith and father abraham. Mr Humbert Humbert illistrated many prominant characteristics that are within Father Abraham as we wanted to capture the emotional stability of Mr Humbert Humbert within how father Abraham appears to be. As for Sister Judith we wanted to take Lolita's vunrability and almost the idea that she falls in a 'phase' of love to make other joyful however then near to the end of lolita you see a change in dominance as Lolita has the dominance over Mr humbert humbert as she denies him her love. This image of how a women has dominance over a male drastically subverts the stereotypical image of how women are seen as passive within films.

The following are screen shots from the lolita trailer;

Long-shot of Lolita which her body appears to be elongated to show her physical appearnce and connotes some sexual scenes may be upcoming.

Mid-long shot-The first scene of when Mr Humbert Humbert sees Lolita who he later in time refers to as 'Lo'. Due to the image being a mid-longshot you are able to denote that he has some fascination over Lolita which is expressed through his body language( appears to be transfixed, expressed though is uptight shoulders).

two-shot  which establishes how Mr humbert Humbert relies upon lolita for emotional support. Also connotes how he appears to act more child like as he seeks for affection.

American Psycho; An American-Candadian black comedy psychological thriller slasher. Its based on Bret Eastons 1991 book entitled; American Psycho.

American psyho is featured around a male 'Patrick Bateman' who is a wealthy investment banker   in Manhattan. Where he is obsessed with his physical appearance and his numerous women and killing episodes. Lionsgate acquired worldwide distribution in 1997 and on the 21st of january 2000 the film was debuted at the sundancefilm festival. As a result of this the film was then released theatrically on the 14th of April 2000. Even though the film was generally regarded as 'contovershal many critics praised the screenplay and christian Bales performance of Bateman and was a financial success. As even though the budget was just 7million dollars, American Psycho made 34.3 million dollars at the box office.

American Psycho gave our film 'purity' many character ideas especially for Father Ambraham. We wanted to take the idea of how Bateman uses his looks and persona to attract women due to his wealth and social status even though he has no emotional connection towards them. We combined both Mr Humbert Humbert emotional side with Batemans seductive and physical appeal over women as a guideline for the creation of Father Abrahams character.

Overall Lionsgate and Purity would be a well established pair due to how Lionsgate offers Independent films with controversial themes the chance to be seen on a wide demographic market. As seen with both Lolita and American Psycho both films had themes which would differ from the norm of regular produced films; romance between a heterosexual couple, superheroes. Conglomerates like lionsgate that allow risky films the chance to subvert from the typical societal norms, are  the reasons why new genre's have emerged.
