Evaluation Question 3

Question 3: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Company: Warp Films

•Warp Films is an English based company that has distributed a wide variety of films; ‘4 Lions’ and ‘This is England’ are the most notable examples.

•I think that Warp Films would be a good choice for our distributor because they are known to work with relatively unknown titles; such as ‘Submarine’, there would be a better chance that they’d work with us.

•Also, as Warp Films are an English company, it would be better to go to them as their films are all filmed in the UK and they stay in that area, whereas bigger companies would go outside the UK and therefore would be difficult to work with.

•Warp Films has also worked on a wide variety of genres; such as comedy or horror, so a film like ours wouldn’t be too different from what they’re used to.

Similar Films Distribution: Scream

•Scream was distributed by Dimension Films.

•Dimension Films has worked on a large number of popular movie franchises; such as Spy Kids, Scary Movie, Scream and Halloween.

•I think that Dimension Films would be a good choice for a distributor as they have distributed a large number that are the same genre as our film; horror.

•However, unlike Warp Films, Dimension Films is based in America so it would be harder to reach them. For this reason, I believe that Warp Films would be a better choice as they are also more likely to choose a lesser known film as a project.
