Evaluation Question 3: What kind of media Institution might distribute your Media Product and why?

I would typify our media product as an independent low budget. The first reason is the limitation in financing budget for the film. I could only afford less than 200 pounds in this and I think so is Jamie and Alex. Thus, limited fund would limit our promotion values. Therefore, we will need to minimise the cost as low as possible but still making the effects. Also, the cast team was also simple with me – producer, Jamie – director, Alex- creative artist, Simon – our media teacher, Franky – actress, Russell – actor and Matt- in charge of camera. In terms of locations, we only have 2 where in the wood and the school’s dining hall. However, I thought that the team worked well together and the locations completely succeeded helping us to create our project, even though they both were simplified. Additional, the duration for us to start our project until we finished is about 3 months. This is a short time that in order to get detailed idea, get shot and get edited would have not been enough. Working under time condition is not an easy work to do. Generally, this project is an independent low budget. However, if we could raise the budget and have longer time given as well as having a detailed marketing plan, I strongly believe that with the content, our project could have been a mainstream that could bring profitable success as if a distributor was on board.

I have done several researches on UK Independent distributors and I found several ones who would offer me a distribution deal. Axiom Films International Limited is a production and distribution company of independent and world cinema. This company was established in 1997, it is a leading independent label that brings together a range of film activities, including the production of feature films and documentaries, and a flourishing distribution division with a rapidly expanding library of high quality film content under direct ownership. In addition, this also does deal with products which are serve pieces. The second distributor is Content Film. This is also a production and distribution company. Content Film plc is a London-based film and television sales company. It also owns or controls a significant library of film and television rights and assets, including over 3,000 hours of television and over 100 feature films. The last distributor I have found is the Dazzle Film Company. This is the distributor and sales agent of British and international short films. Overall, I think that the all 3 companies are generally suitable for us as they accept to release low budget horror films, which is our project’s genre. However, I think the most appropriate is Dazzle Film Company as they will offer to release short films. Our project could’ve been a short film that other distributors might not take it. Thus, Dazzle Film Company should be the best one.
