1. What kind of media institution might distribute your film
and why?
2. What is an Institution An institution is a company that
disperses a media project for audience consumption
3. What is a Production Company A production company is in
charge of hiring the right people to see that the film is made
which can range from actors and directors to lights specialists.
They also provide the funding to create the film.
4. Production Company Our Production Company name is Epidemic
Productions We chose this name for our company as we knew we would
focus on creating zombie films and because it relates to a zombie
apocalypse
5. UK Film Council Our film would of most likely be distributed
by The UK Film Council. They backed more than 900 films which
include feature and short films. I believe they would of
distributed our film because they used to support many upcoming
film directors, creators by funding their British film and making
it known to a larger audience. An example of a film they produced
is 28 Days Later. This film and our film are similar in being
zombie apocalypse themed so they would of likely produced our film.
However the UK Film Council no longer exists so they would be
unable to fund our film.
6. BBC Films The BBC Films institution is also likely to fund
our film as they produce many feature films. However BBC Films are
very particular in the films that they show so it could be unlikely
that they show our Zombie Horror film. An example is Dead of night
however it is very old.
7. Big Talk Productions Big Talk Productions is known as a
British Film and TV production company That produce in the UK and
America. This company would have been unlikely to produce our film
because they mainly focus on comedy films. Titles like Shaun of the
dead is similar to our film however it is more comedic than it is
horror.
8. Film 4 Finally Film 4 is an institution that a wide range of
British films and have many award winning films such as This is
England Film 4 try to challenge British and international films by
creating films with a lower budget, so that they could expand the
niche audience. An example of a horror film they have produced is
127 hours. However this film does not relate to our film.
9. I think I would want my Zombie Horror film to be distributed
by The UK Film council as they would be able to help cover any
budget issues that I could face.
