2. One institution that might distribute our product is Working
Title because they are a converged production company in
association with Universal.
They would produce our product because it is a small scale
horror film which would mean it would cost them less money
however they may get a lot of profit from our film opening, if it
was to their standards and expertise.
Working Title prefer working with new talent as it makes their
company reach a wider audience bringing more money and
profit to their projects. In our project we use younger actors
and actresses in order to make younger audiences able to
relate to the project.
3. Submarine is an film produced by Warp Films and Film4, meaning that
it is for smaller releases and smaller companies and film organisations
for example Red Hour productions.
These types of institutions and productions aim at the niche audience
which we also aimed for as we thought that not many mainstream, or
other youth cultures, like gang members, would enjoy watching our
project.
Warp Films is on a smaller scale to Working Title however still gets
into cinemas and on screens for people to watch. Our project would
benefit from having organisations like Warp Films to distribute it, as
our project fits into their category of releasing small budgeted films.
So as we didn’t spend any money in the making of our opening there
would be no huge loss for Warp Films or Film 4 if our project wasn’t
successful.
4. The Hunt for Gollum is another example of how, and who, might
distribute our project. This was a ‘micro-budget’ film which used a
small budget of only £3,000.
They distributed this film through the internet via social networking
sites such as Facebook and Twitter, and other well known sites such
as YouTube.
They also distributed through an organisation called Independent
Online Cinema which is a none profit website allowing people to watch
their production for nothing, this is another way we could use to
promote our project and get it noticed.
People aged 16-28 are more likely to use the internet and social
networking sites which suggests that our opening scene would be
more relevant to this particular age group as they will be able to notice
it easier from these types of websites, like Facebook, Twitter and
YouTube.
