Evaluation question 3

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

 

Whilst researching into possible companies which may want to distribute our film I discovered Bounty Films. Bounty films are a good example of a company that would possibly want to distribute our film. Bounty films deal in small and independent films that are made on a low budget.

On the basis that our film is made on a low budget, and uses unknown actors, there would be no interest from huge production/distribution companies to have involvement in our film. It’s the first film and not a sequel, so there is no previous evidence or sales figures to go on, or to attract any investors. Bounty films specialise in small movies (that can sometimes be controversial) such as the human centipede.

Any small distribution company may be interested in our movie, as its fairly low risk involved in distributing it. Bounty films do specialise in the zombie/horror genre of distribution, and if the film sold well, would do the same for any sequels made (as they distributed the human centipede 1 + 2). Our company name of “dead cell productions” tried to fit in with the codes/conventions of the horror theme, both in its naming and its design.
