Our media product, a short film opening, would be suitable for distribution on YouTube or film festival websites due to its low budget production values. While too short for cinema release or DVD, our film could find an audience on video sharing sites and in small film festivals given its limited scope and use of basic equipment. We chose to publish on YouTube for its ease of uploading and broad audience reach.

1. What kind of media
institution might
distribute your
media products and
why?

2. Our media product would be able to be distributed on film
sharing websites, like YouTube. It could also be shown on
small film festivals or take part in a video competition,
because it has a small budged.
However our film would not be seen in the cinema, on DVD
or at big film festivals. This is due to the film being too
short, because it’s just a film opening.
The quality of our film is also not good enough to be shown
in a cinema, because we had just basic equipment.
We also had a female actress playing a male character and
our locations weren’t ideal, we used location where we had
easily access to, like the school.

3. Youtube.com
We used YouTube to publish our media production, because
it’s easy to upload videos on YouTube and everybody has
access to YouTube, so it was easy for us to share our film.

4. Vimeo.com
We could have used vimeo to share our media product. It works
like YouTube, but is more used by artists, who want to share their
short films.

5. Shortfilmdepot.com
Another website that might distribute our media product is
shortfilmdepot.com. It help artists to take part in a film
festival to show their films.
