Evaluation 3

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



Production company

A production company is an institution that produces and makes films.They are also included in such things


like promoting and advertising. They do things such as setting the budget for the film to be made.

Production companies can be either small or large and some films even have more than one production 

company.

Distribution purpose

Distribution is all about getting the product out to the audience and consumers and there are a fair few


methods of doing this. The most up to date way now is through it being put out in the cinema first of all.

The distributor is mainly the one who promoting the film, usually by posters and sorting out the adverts. They 

set dates for the films to come out in the cinema, also maybe creating twitter, Facebook and Instagram 

accounts. 


What distributor would be use ?

We would most likely ask someone such as Paramount as they have distributed other thrillers. They tend to 

distribute films to do with horror, thriller and crime, for example paranormal activity. We produce and create


the film and they distribute it.


Funding

If we was to fund everything just by ourselves it would more than likely not go ahead as we wouldn't be able to 

cover all the costs ourselves. We'd have to keep the budget low otherwise we'd financially struggle a lot. By 

working alongside a popular more successful company, it allows us to up the budget and not struggle. Letting 

us have a much more impressive location, props, actors and costumes. Also the cameras themselves to help 

get the best possible shooting we could. By having more money to fund means not only the production of the 

film can be impacted upon and improved but also more aspects can be increased like fro example marketing 

and advertising. Paramount are a crucial part to creating the film as without them the film would be basic with 

low levels of actors, poor locations and hardly any props or costumes making it less successful.

Money from merchandises and cinema costs can go back into the making of the film once it is created.


What is our film similar too

Our film has inspiration from several things. The main one that has been mentioned which is Vera the TV


series as it has the same sort of location and backgrounds, it is all mysteries. Also in Psycho the fact that n


othing happens for a while, just like in our opening you wouldn't guess something is going to happen.
