EVALUATION QUESTION 3

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

There are two sides to the distribution process, that being two different styles: Independent and Major. Majors are large Hollywood companies, such Warner Bro's who distribute 18.3% of the films we see nowadays. Another example are United International Pictures who have distributed 10.2% in comparison to Warner Bro's. The films they distribute are often large; big budget Hollywood blockbusters then generate a large turn over profit, and work on a multi million-film budget. This is not the style of our film at all.

 We would look to use a much smaller company, which release a larger range of films in comparisons to the larger companies. They target small independent audiences instead of world wide, allowing for more specific films to be distributed by certain companies. Companies like these often have very small budgets, using more general locations and less cgi. This is something our product incorporates.

 An Art-house, or much smaller companies would most likely distribute our product. An example of this could be Vertigo, which is an independent British company who work on micro-budget productions. They are a London based company, who have previously worked with unknown thrillers and products. They generally aim their products at the British population, and would hopefully take interest in our small independent product. Film4 might also distribute our opening, with our minimalist indent, and low budget feel to the film.



 Our ident has a sophisticated feel to it, with its minimalist style matching those that suit smaller independent companies. The titles are similar; creating interesting graphics that could be used on a larger film, but have a smaller budget feel and more of an arty presence. The rest of the titles, where only words are used compared to out actor titles, are dotted across the page, similar to the style of London to Brighton, a film that was low budget and was an inspiration for out product.
