ZS EVALUATION Question three

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

Our media production would be more likely to be distributed by a independent distribution company for exhibition in arthouse cinema's such as The Curzon in London. This is because our film is low budget and is more likely to suit a niche market because it takes a lot of inspiration from low budget Japanese films. Audience members for these films prefer the atmosphere which goes with a horror film more than the special effects used in hollywood productions.

It is unlikely that an industrial company such as Warner Bro's because they show most of their films at multiplex cinemas such as Odeon. We are more likely to be distributed by an independent company such as Optimum Releasing.

These cinemas mean that the four quadrants (all the family) can have a day out together and watch a film. Our media production has a traget audience of males and females aged 16-24 so would not be suitable for the whole family to go and watch. These conglomerate companies distribute tent pole films and other films which have ultra high budgets. These companies also generally have wide release films for a mass target audience. Our opening piece lacks the funding for special effects such as CGI and for famous actors which obviously would have cost us a lot more in production fees, therefore these industrial companies would not distribute our media production.
