The document evaluates potential media institutions to distribute a film. Film4 is suggested as a suitable option as it produces a variety of genres, including thrillers, and would get the film recognized in the UK. Metradome is also discussed as a realistic option for up-and-coming producers as it produces films in a cost-effective manner across all genres. Hammer Films, based in London with US distribution ties, could benefit the film given its history of popular horror films and international distribution. However, distributing via Lions Gate may be difficult given the film's low budget. Hammer Films and online distribution are also mentioned as potential options.

1. 3). What type of Media institution might distribute your film and why? Evaluation

2. An example of a company that could distribute our film is Filmf. Film4 is a British based company that produces both well known and up and coming films. I think Film4 is the most suitable production company for us as they create new films from new artists like ours. They cover most genres and have produced many thrillers before such as “The lovely Bones”. Film4 is a well known company which would get the film known and respected throughout the UK.

3. Metradome is also a Uk based film company it has created over 300 feature films. Metradome produces all genres in a cost effective way. Metradome would be a realistic option as it does not produce hollywood action films but films for up and coming producers.

4. Hammer films is a London based film company with ties to Los Angeles distributors. It is well known for is production of many extremely popular horror films created before the 1980’s. The company was out of production since then but has been purchased by John De Mol. The company have since made films such as 'Let Me In' . Our film would really benefit from being produced by Hammer as it would distribute both in England and LA

5. Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation is another option for distributing our film. The company has distributed films similar to ones we hope to be in competition with such as 'Saw' 1-7 'Dogma' . The company seem to produce a lot of movies so it would be hard for them to produce such a low budget movie like ours.

6. Hammer films also uses the internet to distribute there films. Internet Beyond the Rave was released in twenty part with each part lasting four minutes each. It was posted onto myspace then a extremely popular social networking site and it received much critical acclaim We could go down a similar route and post our Film onto websites such as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Bebo.

7. Publicising our film We could publicise our film using many types of propaganda. Bus Stop Bus Bilboard

8. Realistically…. We could advertise our film in the same way Shifty (funded by the Britich film council) advertised theirs which was on Pirate Radio Stations to target their target audience. They also illegally fly posted their posters which was sticking them onto lamp posts. We could also hand out flyers on the lochal highstreets.
