1. Question 3
What kind of media institution might
distribute your media product and why?

2. Influences
Our film is a horror/thriller, sub
genre – psychological horror.
Our main influence for our task
came strongly from John
Carpenters The Ward,
distributed by American-based
distribution companies such as
ARC entertainment, XLrator
Media and Warner Bros.
Pictures.
Apart from this, another film that
played a part in the creation of
our task was After.Life,
distributed by Anchor Bay
Entertainment.

2010, Xlrator Media is a
multi-platform releasing
company whose
projects include feature

films that they have

4. Warner Brothers

company’s library consists of

5. Our Production Company - Hammer
From when it had first started
out, Hammer has produced
over 150 feature films many
of which being horror. It is
one of the best renowned
film brands in the UK being
responsible for the
production of many
worldwide favorites such as
The Woman in Black, Let me
In and Wake Wood.

6. Why Hammer?
The reason as to why we decided to choose Hammer
productions is not only because they are a well known and
respected production company but also due to the fact
that they specialise in the genre of horror. Although their
subgenre is usually associated with Gothic horror, it has also
produced many Physiological, something of which appeals
to us due to it being the subgenre of our film.
Instead of taking the easy root and going with a company
known for physiological horrors, we wanted to try and stand
out and with hammer failing to distribute or produce a
subgenre of the physiological theme for a while, made it
more appealing for the requirements we desired for our film.
