PRELIMINARY TASL - STROPPY MEDIA STUDENT

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

Q3) Our opening sequence can be shown in various locations such as local cinemas, film societies, art cinemas, websites and film competitions. This would cause underground popularity and we would expect the film to be known by mostly word and mouth endorsement. Because we are working on no budget it would be wise to screen our movies on these options as it would be cheap. The film wouldn’t receive a general release; it would be distributed through ‘Unchained’ productions, a company we created that specialised in producing and distributing small British films to independent cinemas to reach our target audience. A website which may distribute our film is www.firstlightmovies.com which is the one of the internets resources for low budget film makers. An example of a low budget movie which has been distributed via first light movies is ‘Demon Army’ which also follows a horror genre. If we had professional casting men and high level actresses our movie would’ve made it to the big screens as our film does follow all the main stream conventions (I.e continuity and character roles) contained in 'Final Destination’(Wong - 2000) and other successful horror movies. It would be wise to show our film in cinemas such as Enfield ‘UGC’, and Finchley ‘VUE’ rather than Wood green ‘CINEWORLD’. This is because Cineworld shows a range of movies from Bollywood to Hollywood giving our film more films to compete with. The range of movies reflect the area and also gives each individual film a shorter viewing period as many other movies would be in cue to be released. According to our audience feeedback, most viewers expected to see our film in local cinemas.
