Media

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

5. 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.

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

7. 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.

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

9. Warp films
Warp Films would be a good match for our film, as
our film does use most of the mainstream codes
and conventions of a horror movie, but also have
elements of a type indie theme.
With the low budget, being with a independant
distributor, they have an insight in where you can
promote you product too.
