This is my media evaluation question 2

1. Media Evaluation
Question 3:
I think that film distributers such as Dimension films, New Line cinema and other
similar distributors would distribute my film. I think this because of my previous
research of film distributors; I found out that dimension films and New Line
cinema are the largest horror film distributors in the world. Although other
companies such as universal and Columbia pictures still distribute horror films,
they don’t distribute a lot of them, as the horror film genre isn’t always
successful, so they tend to stick to more successful genres like action and
comedy. Overall, I would prefer Dimension films to distribute my film, because in
my opinion they are the most successful horror film distributor and also because
dimension films were the film distributors for the (Slasher) horror film ‘Scream’
directed by Wes Craven, which my film was based around, so I would want the
distributor to be the same. Also, the reason that I would choose an American film
distributor is because I personally believe that American film producers create
better films than British or any other for that matter. Also, because the majority
of successful horror films are produced in America. An advantage of using
Dimension films to distribute my film would be that it is already a successful
company, so it will already have a very wide audience as horror films distributed
by them are usually fairly successful so people will go and see Dimension horror
films. However, a disadvantage of using Dimension films is that, yeah it is quite
successful but its not as successful as Universal, Fox or Paramount, there for if
they distributed a horror film at the same time, more people may go and watch
that instead of a dimension horror film.
