Evaluation Question 3: What kind of media institution might distribute your product and why?
Film distributors play a key role in the film industry as they are responsible for the marketing of the film, in which they have to view the overall production stage of a film in order to decide the best ways to target their specific audience according to the genre of the film. At this stage they also start to publicise the film which can be done in various way including
Theatrical trailers
Posters
Websites such as YouTube and official blogs designed for each film
Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter etc...
Some distributors may be specific in different media areas such as theatrical, television and DVD/Blu-Ray- these come around three months after the film is released in theatres.
http://www.entertainmentfilms.co.uk/ This UK film distributing company situated in London, may distribute our media sequence because it distributed Seven and Texas Chainsaw Massacre throughout UK theatres. These two particular films fall into the same if not closely related genre categories i.e. Thriller and Horror. Entertainment Film Distributors is a small UK distributing company therefore would be suitable for distributing our media sequence as it would be a low budget production created by our production company - PJA Productions, also because our sequence is set in London with the panning shot of london at the beginning of our sequence, it would represent Entertainment Film Distributors as a London situated company.
Our Production Company logo is:
Our logo is shown at the beginning of our media opening sequence and includes sound effects to make it more interesting rather than just a still image of the logo. Examples of larger distributing companies include:
These two films are similar in that they are both about a psychotic serial killer who thrives off killing and torturing people. Therefore, as our media sequence, Berserk is a psychological thriller about a deranged serial killer, it is similar to both of these successful movies which were distributed by the same London situated company, Entertainment Film Distributors. Both Seven and Texas Chainsaw Massacre have been certifed 18 which is slightly older than our starting age target audience of 16-17, however, our sequence is suitable for a 15 certificate therefore is suitable for our audience range of 16-25.
