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



Because our film is a low budget, a small independent film maker such as Warp would be suitable. This is because they are a small, local company located in Sheffield who deals with small style films. Examples of these films would be ‘Four Lions’, or ‘Donkey Punch’. These films are also low budget, using local surroundings and local actors to play the parts, and in turn making it cheap and affordable to produce. These films are risky to produce as there’s no knowing whether or not the films are going to do well. Four Lions was an exception to this as it actually did quite well in the box office.



Because our target audience is pretty small we’re not looking for a large distributor such as Warner Bros. Films created by these are usually Hollywood blockbusters, or widely known films. Examples of these would be ‘Argo’, and ‘The Artist’. These films hold a much larger audience. Many of these larger films will have been produced knowing that they will do well, as they’ve had earlier successful forms of media, such as books which have then later been turned into films. The same can’t be said for small films produced by Warp.

Still in progress.
