Evaluation Question 3

After the post production process of the production it would then need to be distributed inorder to gain recognition. This process can be very lavish and in some cases can be just as expensive as the creation and post productions stages. Thousands are spent by production companies such as Pixar and Universal to publicise their production; this can be done through the use of billboards, animated adverts and posters.

Our chosen media distributor is based on the budget we have, locations available and our chosen genre of the film (thriller).  Our film will be a low budget film due to the available editing software and filming equipment that that is available to us. This is why wemade the decision for Film 4 to be our media institution. The audience Film 4 tends to attract are younger and niche so we hope with this in mind our initial target audience would still be interested. Films 4 have been successfully in releasing independent films such as Submarine, Trainspotting, Attack The Block and 71 which is the same genre as our production. All four of these films have been successful despite being premiered through a British independent film company opposed to huge commercial companies such as Dreamworks. 

An example of another independent film is Scenario Films Ltd. Which is based in London they have produced films such as ‘Denial’ and ‘Desire.’ This production company would have also worked as our media distributor; however we made the decision it was best to go with Film 4 as it is more well-known and broadcasted on British television whereas Scenario Films premier their films over the internet and they don't have a strong advertising campaign.
