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

I believe that our film is more of an independent movie, and because of this we believe it would attract more people. Therefore, we would approach independent distribution companies that would distribute our film, such as Film Four as they are known to only back 4 - 5 films a year, and back several english films, or sometimes just buy the rights for them, I believe going independent rather than a bigger company, such as miramax for example.

This enables our film to fit into a niche, so that the bigger films that have bigger budgets, more backing and more expectations as a whole, wouldn't be against our film, and vice versa, and therefore might also have more success of becoming a recognised and successful film. Furthermore we noticed that our film has alot of the same characteristics as some american made independent films, we could pitch this to an american independent distribution company, for them to distribute in america. This would enable us to reach a bigger audience, more viewings, more feedback, and enable us to generate more revenue for the film, which would ofcourse go into paying back anyone appropiate, however the film may have low budget costs anyway, and possibly enable a sequel to be made

Therefore we would approach independent distributors like FilmFour who may be interested in our film because it might stand out amongst the crowd. Also, we have a USP (Unique selling point) in that our plot differs from most others, as it has elements of crime and action, and that our story shows both of these such as when CID1 discovers that CID2 has been kidnapped by the antagonist Kelvin Rimante, possibly hinting to a backstory behind this, this peaks the audiences interest, and would arguably seal our audience for the film.
