What type of media institution might distribute

your media product and why?

For our film we decided to represent a small budget production company, we would want a maximum budget of about £1 million.

TMC productions

We decided to be a low budget production company through mainly our storyline. Our storyline does not require a great amount of money to achieve an effective and successful film.

Through research we have discovered films that have all been shot with low budgets, that have become a great success. Such films that we researched were films like John Carpenters ‘Halloween’ and ‘The blair witch project’ and of course our main film idol ‘Paranormal activity’ which was created for a tiny budget of just £15,000.

Paranormal Activity’s success made us realise that because the budget was so low, the audience seemed to feel a relation to the film and it seemed more realistic, a great amount of fear can be created due to the audience.

The distributor that we chose to deliver our film was Film 4 Productions, this is a UK based company associated with channel 4.

Over the years they have produced many different films both medium and low budget.

We decided that our distributer would be Film 4 productions as they have produced many low budget successful films for example ‘Attack the block’, and we could imagine our film becoming a great success with them.

Our distributor

In our film we have named the 3 main actors, Mark Mulcahy, Danielle Robert and Helen Mulcahy. all of these are not big names and are all new actors.

Because of this we decided to put all three of their names after the film title throughout the first 2 minutes.

TMC is an independent production company who employs unknown actors creating low budget films in the hope of having great success and maximising profit.
