WHAT KIND OF MEDIA INSTITUTION MIGHT DISTRIBUTE YOUR MEDIA

PRODUCT AND WHY?

Evaluation – Part 3

Momentum pictures

Firstly, we looked at momentum pictures to produce and distribute our film. We chose this company to distribute and produce our film because they have produced films like insidious, sinister and dark skies.

Similar to our genre

These films are similar to our genre which is why we chose this certain company. I have looked at the film Prisoners and the distributors of the film was Summit Entertainment, Warner Bros. Pictures and Paramount Pictures. I then looked at the different films that these distributors have distributed in the past and I have also looked at the films that are similar to our genre. I have found that Summit Entertainment only distributed Sinister which is similar to the genre of our title sequence but isn’t exactly the same.

Similar to our genre

I then looked at Warner Bros. Pictures and the only film they have distributed which is similar to our title sequence genre is The Conjuring, so from this research I have decided not to choose this distributor. The last distributor I looked at was Paramount Pictures. From my research I found that this distributor has distributed most of the Paranormal Activity series and this could be helpful for our film as our film has some elements of horror in it. I think that a media institution that was familiar with the type of genre that our film was would be able to distribute our film successfully. This is because they have experience with distributing these types of films and will know what exactly to do when trying to get the public to go and see it.

Our chosen distributor

From my research, I have decided to choose Momentum pictures to distribute our film.
