Question 3
What kind of media institution might
distribute your media product and why?
By Beatrice Betsy
Why your product is suitable for this
market and is there a gap in the market for
you portfolio?
According to some of the movies momentum
pictures have made I feel that there is a
gap in the market for my drama/action
movie. This is because they have released
many drama/action movies throughout the
years, for example the most wanted man
which I also researched the film opening
for this. Other examples of their film
releases are Calvary and how I live now.
The general budget for these films would be
around $15,000,000 to $7,000,000. This is
budget that my film would not be able to
afford however momentum pictures have
released films which has grew on a $1.5
million budget which would be more suitable
for my type of movie. This shows that
smaller films like mine would be suitable
for this market and would be able to make a
gross profit from box-office. Momentum
pictures also not use many big actors
within their movies. My film does not have
well-known actors therefor it being perfect
because when someone watches movies from
momentum photos don’t watch it for big actors but
the storyline itself.
Would your product attract a
different audience?
My film may do this however momentum
has a wide variety of film therefore
keeping a wide audience all the time.
However after looking there is not a
film that has been released by
momentum picture including the
president, which mine does. I feel
this may bring and different audience
as my movie is mainly aimed at 16-30
male and female. This may cause
people that like the president or the
concept of the movie to go and watch
my movie in cinema. After researching
momentum pictures I have found that
it is a English firm and has its
headquarters in the uk. my actors are
mainly English which may lead to more
people to come and see it in the uk
this may not be a different audience
my may encourage more people from the
uk to come and watch my movie as
British actors in movies are quite
rare.
Overall I have chosen momentum photos because of the wide range of movies they have
but are mainly focused on action, thriller and drama. This is what my movie fits
under and would fit well in their portfolio. Also from my research i have found that
many movies from this company have succeeded on a small budget but been able to grow
and make gross profit back.
