2. What kind of media institution
might distribute your media
product and why?
I think that my film would probably be best to be created and
then distributed by a well known Hollywood company purely
because of it has an interesting storyline which hasn’t been
repeatedly produced unlike romantic comedies which all mostly
have the same storyline with a few details altered.
I think that my storyline would offer something a little different
and exciting without pushing the film industries boundaries which
independent companies like to do.
3. Attracting the distributing
companies
If I didn’t have any contacts to the larger companies I
would need to attract them in other ways.
I could promote the film through social media which
could lead to a fan base developing which would then
hopefully attract the attention of larger
famous institutions as they will know that they will
make a profit because just the ideas have created a
fan base.
My final point is that this concept for the film could
possibly reach quite a wide audience as it appeals to
video game players, people who like adventure
fantasy films and also those who like a little romance
too.
4. LIONSGATE
Lionsgate is a Canadian/ American film company first started in 1997.
It is quite a successful film institution as it is quite popular but
compared to other film companies it is a lot smaller.
They create a range of film products from comedies, action, thrillers
romance and horror.
Their most successful film being The Hunger Games Trilogy having
made over $1.5 billion.
Lionsgate would be a good institution to consider to distribute Lost in
Pixels because they have had experience in working on adventure
films but also have worked on many other films so could bring
something new to my film.
5. WARNER BROTHERS
Another American industry which produces a range of music and TV
products but are more well known for their films.
Is a subsidiary of Times Warner and was started in 1923.
Its most successful films so far would be the Harry Potter series and
the Batman Trilogy as they have made the company the most profit.
I think because they mainly focus on creating action films and my
film only consists of a little action I don’t think that this institution is
the best suited to Lot in Pixels. Moreover having looking into the films
they have made I don’t think they would be the best company to help
distribute my film because excluding films like the Hangover most of
the movies they work in either have a serious storyline or are just
generally quite dark (through the lighting and colours used.)
6. UNIVERSAL
Universal Studios/ Pictures is an American film
company owned by Comcast which was first
established in 1912.
They are a very well known institution within the
film industry so much so that they are a
member of the Hollywood’s ‘Big Six.’
They have created many types of films including
romance, horror and comedy but as you can see
on the right they also have had their hand in
many Adventure/ Fantasy films too.
What makes Universal a good choice for being a
member of the Lost In Pixels production is that
even though they are an American institution
they have worked on films which have a
predominately English feel to them. Examples
include The Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the
Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End)which are
all English films as well as Paul and Scott Pilgrim
Vs The World.
Another reason why I like Universal is because
they can be a little quirky too by creating Scott
Pilgrim which has quite an unusual storyline and
like my film fits into many genres.
Universal would be a likely choice in what
institution I would want to work on my film as I
would like to keep by film with a British feel to it
while also not having to hold my ideas back.
7. THE WALT DISNEY STUDIOS
Started by the Disney brothers in 1923.
Produces entertainment through music,
TV, Film, Theme Parks and more.
Have created films from the adventure,
fairy-tale, action, musical and many more
all created in mind for children and family
viewing.
Their most successful film so far is Frozen
(2013) their highest grossing film to
date.
In regards to Lost In Pixels even though
Disney have had experience creating
adventure/ fantasy films I don’t think I
would want to work with them because
we have different target audiences. Some
teenagers still love Disney films there are
still a view that see the institution
producing products for children. As my
film is targeted at the teenage audience I
would rather work with a company that
has produced films for the same audience
as they would know what would and
wouldn’t appeal to that particular group.
9. I think that Universal would be
good to work on Lost In Pixels
because they have worked on
Adventure/ Fantasy films before
so have experience.
Moreover they lie to work on
more unique projects that haven’t
necessarily been done a lot
before. So I think that they could
have some exciting ideas that
would make my film stand out
more and be more unique.
I think that Lionsgate would be
a good choice to work on my
film because they have had a
lot of do with young adult films
such as the Hunger Games
Trilogy and the Divergent
series so I think they would be
able to help make sure to
target everything towards that
audience.
If I was able to actually make this film then I would either wish to
work with either Universal or Lionsgate.
