What kind of media institution
might distribute your media product and why?
The type
of media institution that is likely to distribute our short film will be one
with a history of producing horrors and psychological thrillers as their main
products. The production company we have included in our
film opening is that of ‘feardrivenfilms’; this is a fairly new company that
was founded in 2008 and have since funded and created films such as ‘Stagnant’
and ‘drive by sunset’. We believe a production company such as this is the most
appropriate for our film considering they are most experience in creating
horrors and thrillers, and we believe it is the best representation we could
have, considering their success. ‘Feardrivenfilms’ have been very successful so
far, and although their films have been short and fairly low budget,
considering the nature of our film, being the easy location and very little
funding it would require. As well as this I believe our film would be more
successful when under a company like this who’s aim is to ‘produce high
quality, well written films of all genres’ due to the audience and fan base
they already receive. I say this because the audience will be aware of the
films they produce and will have a heightened interest in any new ones they
release. I believe this kind of company suits our production better than any
other. When researching ‘Columbia pictures’ one of the biggest production
companies in the world, and other films they distribute, we considered this as
a possible company to produce ‘first born’. However, they have a much broader
genre range and have produced many other blockbusters. Considering this, we
thought it might not be as suitable as feardrivenfilms due to their much larger
fan base, who may not be as interested in such a low budget film as ours. We
also looked into village road show pictures who have produced films such as
‘Girl, Interrupted’. This is also a much larger company, and we thought it
might not best represent our short film.
