What kind of media institution might distribute

your media product and why?

Lionsgate is an American production company that was founded in 1986. Lionsgate have produced films like Cabin in the Woods, Trapped Ashes and Sam’s lake. Lionsgate are well known for producing a bunch of horror film genres like these.

I believe that selecting Lionsgate to distribute our media product would be extremely beneficial for our product as a majority of their horror genred films have a lot of VFX contained within them. Our films strong point is with VFX and therefore would fit nicely.

Facebook, Myspace and Youtube would be perfect resources to allow us to distribute the film. As they are social networking sites the cost to distribute our film would be completely free. This would be extremely useful due to our small budget. The theory of globalisation meaning that the world is becoming a smaller place would also side in our factor. This means that we can put up videos, posters or links on these websites and the whole world is able to view them.

I believe that this method is the most suitable for our product due to these reasons.

Metrodome is a small English film company who have distributed over 300 films. They have recently released “Grave Encounters” and “The Prophecy” on DVD both of which are horror films. I believe that Metrodome would also be appropriate to distribute our film as we as the producers are a small company who have used low budget equipment. Metrodome being a small company, I believe is a decent choice of distribution institutions.
