Evaluation Question 3

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and

why?

Our film may be distributed by Independent Distribution Companies such as Film4 and the BBC Films.Also online film streaming companies such as Netflix or LoveFilm could distribute my film as it follows the conventions of many horror films that are shown on there. For example my film has plenty of simularites to films shown on Netflix such as Poltergeist (2015), Incidious (2011) and Case 39 (2009).

The traditional route for a film seeking distribution to be shown in cinemas is to enter a international film festivals such as Slough International Festival and the Wimbledon International Short Film Festival. If a film is lucky enough to be selected to be shown at one of these events, it will provide a chance for the global distribution markets.For example large companies such as Lionsgate Films could distribute our horror film as they has distributed numerous amount of extremely successful horror films such as the Saw Franchise, Cabin In The Woods (2011) and You’re Next (2011).Lionsgate Films may choose to distribute our film due having the gruesome element that we would wish to involve in our film if it was so be developed. Therefore our film would fit in with the violence theme that most Lionsgate Films have.
