Evaluation Question 3: What Kind Of Media Institution Might Distribute Your Product and Why?

Independent film distributors, distribute films outside of major studios. Independent film distributors have a lot lower budget than major distributors, such as Warner Bros. They release a wide range of films from short films, documentaries to films in different languages. Independent films are usually shown at film festivals to get the opinions of audiences and critics before being sent off to cinemas.

Vertigo Films

Vertigo films is an example of a independent film distributor, The London based company prides itself on being the forefront for new talent and that is their key production strategy. There are responsible for Street Dance 3D which was the most successful independent DVD of all time. They are also responsible for two classic films in Bronson, The Business and the Football Factory.

Entertainment One

Entertainment One (E-One) is another independent distributor, Entertainment One distribute over many countries such as Canada, USA and the United Kingdom. Entertainment One are responsible for bringing us The Twilight movies, and Insidious. In order to succeed the company keeps long standard relationships with other companies, which the company has been doing since once which has enabled them to be this successful.



 

I  think out of these two independent movie distributors Vertigo would distribute our film as they deal with a lot of dark subjects on a lot of their films, such as hooliganism and drug trafficking, so they are all dark subjects, so our product is also dark as it deals with a mother losing her child which is also a dark subject so as they have experience with dark subjects in films, they would be good to distribute our film, I feel our film would be successful if it was distributed due to our audience feedback where the females who are our target audience, said that they would watch the film as it relates to them, as they know how it would feel due to the female character losing something she created, they also said that they would watch it as it is creepy so they want to find out  what else happens in the film.
