2. Why is it important to identify and choose the correct institution
to create and distribute a film? Relate to audience, genre and
industry reputation
• When choosing the correct institution it is important you know the history
of the institution because you want to pick the right production company
to represent your film. If we do this the benefits are that we will make a
lot of money. Also if they should have a loyal audience and successful
films. They should have gained a big intentional fan base which would be
great for my thriller because the audience would want to watch it because
they have liked other films created by that institution. This means they are
more likely to watch a new production that gets distributed by that
institution.
• You have to consider choosing an institution that have distributed within
the thriller genre. This is because it provides audience understanding and
expectations will be fulfilled.
3. Who would you choose to distribute your thriller and
why?(relate to past films they have made , genre
specific, reputation etc)
• The institution I would choose is LIONSGATE this is because of there
successful distribution of famous films that have had high ratings
internationally. The have produced popular films such as SAW 2 which
made $87,039,965 and the HUNGER GAMES that made $408,010,692.
This will benefit my thriller because it could make our group a lot of
money. They have been in the industry for a long time therefore are well
respected and have a good reputation in the film world, therefore they
have a loyal audience. And that audience will be willing to watch their
new films distributed.
• Some of the thriller films LIONSGATE have created are SAW, THE
TWILIGHT SAGA:BREAKING DAWN PART2, THE POSSESSION and SINISTER.
Our thriller will be suited for LIONSGATE because
conventions in my thriller that have been displayed
are conventions that have been used in films like
saw. For example the creative use of slow eerie
music and the good use of iconography. Saw has
been distributed by LIONSGATE so they’re more
likely to also choose us.
