An independent film distribution company like Dimension Films or Lionsgate would be best suited to distribute the media product, as they have experience distributing similar horror films on a limited budget. Dimension Films in particular has had success with films like Scream that share similarities in style and genre conventions to the media product. Lionsgate is also a good option as they have a strong reputation for distributing horror films that could help audiences understand the media product. Either company would provide targeted marketing to audiences interested in independent horror films.

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

2. Two different sectors of the
film industry
• Mainstream Films - A movie which has a lot of
financial backing.
• Independant Films - is a feature film that is
produced outside of the major film studio
system, in addition to being produced and
distributed by independent entertainment
agencies (google definition).

3. Mainstream Distributors
• ‘Wide Release’ - Lots of money on marketing.
• 'High concept movies’ - Equilibrium theorem.
• High profile name

4. Independant Distributor
• Low budget
• Limited release
• British film institute

5. Dimension Films
What movies they distribute like ours;
• Scream
• Dusk till dawn
• The faculty

6. Why Dimension Films?
I think if I had the choice of any distribution
company to put my movie out there I would hope
for Dimension Films due to its experience with
Scream (which is very similar to our film due to its
mine-en-scene and conventions).
Scream gained popularity with the help of
Dimension Films. In addition the reputation of
Dimension Films comes from a vast array of
movies which are well known.

7. Lionsgate
What movies they distribute like ours;
• Texas Chainsaw 3D
• Saw
• Cabin in the woods

8. Why Lionsgate?
On the other hand I believe that we could choose
Lionsgate for distribution because it has a great
reputation with horror films, which would help
audiences understand what our movie is easier.
