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

A production company is responsible for the production of a film; they look over the key areas of the film such as: time schedule, actors, directors, props, locations, etc.

 

A good director for our sort of film would be those who make art house films. An example would be Clio Barnard who directed such films as: The Selfish Giant and Flood. She would be a suitable director, as having watched one of her films there are a number of similarities between ours and hers - there aren't many special effects, the editing isn't too over the top, the actors aren't professionally trained and the locations the film is filmed in are fairly simple.

 

As our film is somewhat relatable to an art house film and a large amount of finance is not required, the main source of finance for our film would most likely be something like the BFI as they are typically used for small, low budget films.

The people who played a part in our film are named because they deserve credit. It also shows who did what e.g. someone may have done many small jobs while someone did one big job. There isn't a specific order in which the titles for our film appear as we feel that we have all played a somewhat similar role to each other in terms of importance. In big blockbuster films, the list of members would be in terms of importance, e.g. producer, director, actors, etc.

Some films similar to ours, institutionally, mainly consist of small art house films as I previously mentioned. the way they would do this is by advertising them at film festivals and by using various other means such as a poster - a trailer may be used but it would be less likely than a poster due to the larger cost. They would then be released mainly in British cinemas and maybe some international ones such as America. The types of cinemas they would be released in would be specifically designed for art house films (not large scale cinemas such as Cineworld or Odeon).
