What type of Media Institution might distribute your Media Product and why?
FilmFour is a British Media Institution and I feel would be perfect to distribute our film ‘Fixation’ as it has been producing and distributing excellent films such as ‘Slum Dog Millionaire’ ‘Venus’ and ‘Yasmin’
A reason why I think FilmFour would be appropriate is because it has distribute films such as ‘Yasmin’ which is a very controversial film and is suited for an Art House audience, but they have also distributed big budget Mainstream films such as Slum Dog Millionaire’
As ‘Creative Film Productions’ is currently a small business a company like FilmFour could help put them and ‘Fixation’ on the map.
FilmFour are also very creative and are always using New Technology to market their films, Such as the fantastic film ‘This is England’ was heavily advertised on MySpace and due to this introduced a new audience to the film circuit that would not have been there otherwise. ‘This is England became a cult film that is now adored by most British teenagers.
However FilmFour have not produced or distributed any films on the horror or thriller genre, so another possibility would be to go to ‘Dimension Films’ which is known for horror films such as ‘Scream’, ‘Halloween’ and ‘The Hills Have Eyes’. ‘Dimension Films’ specialise in the specific genre of horror/thriller and could contribute greatly to helping the film become a success with their knowledge from distributing the previous films.
‘Working Title’ is another British Media Institution which would be a possibility to distribute our film. ‘Working Title’ is a well known and experienced distributor and have produced an array of successful films such as ‘Billy Elliot’ and ‘Shaun Of The Dead’
‘Working Title’s’ previous experience would be reassuring and as they are a well known institution with many Mainstream film successes they would be a positive company to use.
