Evaluation question three. Part oneWhat kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Stages of production

Distribution company's role

The main job of a distributor is to get as many people as possible to see your movie, having a popular company that is well known and has a

very good reputation will increase the amount of people who see it. The distribution companies will represent your film and are normally the

ones who set things like the release date.

Part two:Who could distribute my film?

Disney:

Disney only distribute the films that they make themselves. This means that they most likely will not want to distribute my film. Also on top of this their films are normally quite family friendly, and are targeted at an audience younger than mine.

20th century fox:

20th century fox distributes a large variety of well known films including avatar and X-men, these movies will have a very high budget as most of them are action and need special effects. Because my movie is a thriller and has quite a low budget, with no special effects, i don't think that this distributor will want my film.

Paramount:

paramount distribute a range of different films from different genres, from horror to action. As paramount are quite a well known company they distribute very well known movies with very famous actors in them, most of these films normally have quite a lot of money spent on them, however even though my film has quite a low budget i think that my film fits in with some of the movies they distribute. I think out of the three i have looked at this will be the best option.

Part three:Why will paramount want my film?

Paramount:Paramount are an extremely well known company who have a

reputation of distributing amazing films that make a lot of money. Being distributed by a company who makes successful films with famous actors will help increase the amount of people who might watch my

film. I think that my film fits in well with the rest of paramount's movies as mine is thriller and is aimed at 15-24. However because paramount is a famous company distributing my film may cause a slight financial

issue as my film is quite low budget.

Part four:How will my film be advertised?

There are many ways a film can be advertised, billboard's, youtube, tv, social media and posters, these are the most common ways of advertising a film, i think that i would first put my trailer on tv channels and onto youtube and then after a while set a release date and bring out posters to put on billboards and buses, as well as creating a facebook page to get people sharing the trailer online.

Part five:How would my product be

distributed?

There are many different ways to distribute a film including dvd and blu ray, however there is also now the modern ways which include putting the film out on netflix and now tv so that people who prefer not to buy dvd can still watch the film. Another way to get my film out there is to put it onto itunes and google play so that younger viewers or people who don't have access to a tv or laptop can watch it on their phones.
