Audience Theories

Hypodermic Needle Theory

 

This Model suggests that audiences passively receive the information transmitted via a media text, without any attempt on their part to process or challenge the data.

Film Institution

As a small British film, we have decided as a group to aim our film at the British  population. Following this we thought it would be relevant for our film to be distributed by a British Label, British Filming Institution (BFI). This seemed a bit cliché, therefore we decided to find a horror genre specific Company. Hammer Films seemed a perfect choice as they have a good history of horror films like Dracula, The Curse of Frankenstein and The Mummy. Even more recently they've had hits with The Resident, Wake Wood and The Woman in Black which is a film that i feel portrays the suspense and fear that we set out to find in making Witheld.
