Evaluation Question 3

What kind of Media Institution might distribute your media product and why?

      Throughout the making of our Title Sequence, Bex and I actually considered which media institutions might distribute our product. We included this in a post for our research. 

      This video is the ident we used for out title sequence, that I created a fair while back. This plays a big part in representing the type of institution that may distribute our film.

      I believe there is a wide variety of media institutions that would would be suitable to distribute my media product. Due to the particular nature of my film and how different it is from the average conventional thriller, I am torn between Lionsgate and New Line Cinema. Lionsgate for their distribution of all Saw films, Hostel, The Eye , The Last Exorcism and The Possession. New Line Cinema for their distribution of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Se7en. However after listing this, I think Lionsgate would be a fantastic institution to distribute my product due to the diversity of films it has distributed, many of which relate closely to our own genre: thriller/horror/psychological.

      The most obvious media institutions that would distribute my film would be Youtube and other on-line video websites. These are an easy and quick way of distributing media products for free. The world as a whole has access to Youtube without an account any anyone can view the videos which could gain Captured recognition.

      Another way of distribution would either be local film festivals or national film festivals. Other methods might include short film competitions such as the virgin shorts competition which is made for young directors who need a boost. This competition only allows film up to 2 minutes.
