Evaluation-Question 3

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

To get our film distributed we will need to send the film to the studio after it has been purchased its rights and so the studio we make a licensing agreement with the company. If wanting it to get to the cinema the next stop will be that the film is sold to theatres. Certain cinemas chains that I feel may release our film are Showcase cinemas and Vue as they buy quality and different films in which 'Granted' is.

One particular film distribution that I feel may distribute our film is Revolver Entertainment.
The distribution is UK based and has distributed some crime drama films just like 'Kidulthood'(2006) and 'The Harder They Come'(1972). They are a multi award winning, marketing lead and work by producing some of the greatest Home Entertainment. They continue to build up the industry with a unique, innovative approach to managing releases by advertising their film on social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook which will be great for advertising our film because we will also advertise it on social networking sites that attract millions. It was founded in 1997, and has operations in London and Los Angeles.

Another type of a film distribution that I feel may want to distribute our film is Verve Pictures which has distributed fellow British crime drama 'Bullet Boy'(2004).'They are an independent UK specialist film distributor, with particular emphasis on both British and independent films’. They may want to distribute our film because our film is unique in the way that it challenges our genre. I chose them because they have already got experience in distributing a crime drama film so doing ours wouldn't be a problem.

Away from film distributions that have distributed crime dramas, Dogwoof is probably the most likely one that may distribute our film. This is because they are best at producing Indie films and they believe that filmmakers need a better deal. They will also be suitable for our film because we want it to become a success in which I know Dogwoof is because they release their films nationwide, on over 80 cinemas, backing the release with major campaigns showing determination. They manage to share their releases by sites like Twitter, Facebook and Youtube which are very popular with our target audience.

If we wanted to advertise our film differently another method that could be used to advertise our film would be through the internet on social networking websites in particular Myspace which is the most popular networking site in the USA available in 15 languages and attracts more than 200 million visitors.
The reason I chose Myspace is because according to statistics they attract the most teenagers who have completed secondary school in which is my films target audience, so advertising it there will grab their attention.

If we wanted to distribute it Youtube will be best as it attracts millions of people and is the world’s most watched video website. This is a lot cheaper and can appeal to audience through the word of mouth which is good so that we will be attracting much more people than we expected. If we use the Youtube it will be more likely that people will be willing to watch it and cheap to publish. This will then raise the number of view and a national film distributor will see the views and know that the film is attracting many people.
