2.  I would like my film to be promoted by a large scale
institution so that my media product is viewed by a
wide range of people and reaches my target audience.
 However, I do not think that my media product is of
high enough quality to be distributed by a Hollywood
institution such as Universal or Working Title.
 Therefore, I have investigated some British film
companies such as Vertigo and Hammer film
Productions which are smaller British film companies.

3. Vertigo Films
 Vertigo Films is one of the newer film production companies, based in
the UK.
 It was co-founded by James Richardson, Allan Niblo and Nick Love in
2002.
 They have produced many of their own films which have become very
successful such as ‘StreetDance’ (this was also developed to produce
‘StreetDance 2’) and ‘The Sweeney’
 Vertigo Films is also largely known for the distribution of British films
such as ‘London to Brighton’ and ‘Top Cat’ (collaborating with Warner
Bros.)
 However, more recently they have distributed an American film called
‘Spring Breakers’ 2013. This film has been their most successful
distribution yet, with a worldwide gross total of $16,640,619.
 I think that Vertigo films would be a good institution to collaborate with
when distributing my film as they use good techniques to receive a
worldwide response from a film.

4. Hammer Film Productions
 Hammer Film Productions is also based in the UK, founded in
1934.
 They are mostly known for the distribution of the horror/thriller
genre films such as Dracula, Frankenstein, etc. traditional Gothic
films. Once dominating the horror film market.
 They have also been associated with major Hollywood studios
such as Warner Bros. which would benefit my film if I wanted to
distribute it to America or worldwide.
 One of their most recent films that they have distributed is ‘The
Woman in Black’ in 2012. This film was their most successful
release, putting it second place in the box office. ‘The Woman in
Black managed to earn $20 million in the opening weekend.
 I think my film would benefit if I collaborated with this production
company as they are familiar with the distribution of horror films
and could successfully make my film well known and popular.

5. Film 4 Productions
 Film four is a British institution owned by Channel Four Television
Corporation.
 Film 4 has collaborated with many Hollywood Institutions such as
DreamWorks, Fox Searchlights, Universal Pictures and Warner Bros.
 They have produced and distributed several award winning British films
such as Shaun of the Dead, How to Lose Friends & Alienate People and
The Inbetweeners Movie.
 Most of the films that this company produces and distributes are aimed
at teenagers and young adults, which is the age group of my own target
audience. This would be beneficial when distributing my film as Film 4
have a lot of experience and a high success rate from their own film
distribution.
 Furthermore, my questionnaire research found that Channel 4 was the
most popular TV Channel that is watched by my target audience,
meaning that they are more likely to watch my film if it is distributed by
Film 4 as it can be easily advertised and distributed.
