1. What kind of media
institution will distribute
your film and why?

2. Warp Films
 One possible distributor for our film could be Warp Films, they are an
independent UK film and television production company. It is based in
Sheffield and London, UK with an affiliated company in Melbourne,
Australia. One reason for using Warp films is that they are responsible
for making many one off films. Some examples of this are Four Lions
and This is England. This is a positive because our films is a one off,
low budgeted film and it may do better with a distributor that has
worked with many similar one off films. Another positive is that our film
is set and has been filmed in Barnsley which is local to where Warp
films is based which is Sheffield, this means that the local audience
will be more likely to watch it if it is distributed and filmed in the local
area. Also Four Lions one of their more successful films was filmed
locally to the distributor and has had a lot of success. Also the films
that they distribute have a similar target audience to ours, for example
Four Lions is targeted at the 15+ age which is similar to our film.

3. 20th Century Fox
 Another possible distributor is 20th Century Fox, they are a really large
distribution company based in Hollywood. They are part of ‘The big
six’ a group of six major distribution company’s that are known world
wide for distributing films. The fact that they are famous worldwide
means that they have a large target audience which means that our
audience will increase massively as people will be interested in
watching our film just for the name. Another positive is that they have
many other successful films such as Avatar, which earned a total
gross of $749,766,139, and other films such as Star Wars film series,
The X-men film series and also Independence Day. These films all
had large success and are still globally famous films meaning that our
film is likely to have large success if we used 20th Century Fox. Also
using a massive conglomerate like 20th Century Fox is that they have
many smaller company’s that are part of their conglomerate such as
they tv channel Fox. This would help us for example as they can offer
free advertisement and they could use other parts of their
conglomerate to tribute to the distribution of our film.

4. Entertainment One
 I think the best distributors for out film would be Entertainment One
Films UK. They are responsible for distributing many films such as
Tombstones, A most wanted man and 3 days to kill. These films are
all related to crime, drugs and murder, which are all aspects that are
used in our film, this means that they are all going to be advertised in
the same way so will bring in more viewers. Also people that are
interested in our genre of films will be interested in the distributor so
will be more likely to watch their films, this will advertise our film
positively and bring in more viewers. Another positive thing is that all
their films are aged at 12+ and 15. This is the same as our film, which
is aged 15 this means that we will be able to get viewers from our
target audience easily and will increase the amount of interest in our
film. One other positive thing is that they have made big films such as
Twilight, this also means that more people will be interested in the film
and will make us look as good as these Hollywood films.
