Question 3

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

If we were going to choose any existing film distributing company then we would definitely go for one that has already distributed similar types of films to ours and one that has an interest in our film. This is because, obviously we want experience when it comes to marketing our product and if this company has past experiences with similar successful films then there going to know what there doing so our film would be in good hands.
After Sam and I did some research we decided that a good distributing company for us would be Vertigo Films Distributions. I think this would suit us as Vertigo Films have previously took low budget films and distributed them really well. Also they have unearthed hidden gems within the film making industry and have discovered a lot of talent whether that be exceptional actors and directors or low budget film makers.
Some films that Vertigo Films have distributed are Point Blank and A Night in the Woods. This could very much be considered as similar to our film as they use a lot of conventions of a thriller and have a flutter of violence and horror in them. A Night in the Woods could defiantly be similar to ours as they were also a very low budget film, with low budget lighting and low end cameras, but with that being said Vertigo Film haver distributed them really well and made them quite successful which is why we think that they will do good things with our film.

Modern Technology has allowed us as an audience to consume films through multiple different services. For example Netflix is extremely popular which allows to watch hundreds of films and TV shows for set monthly price. Amazon Prime and YouTube also being two other ways we can watch films and videos. Distribution of films can be helped through advertising on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and many more. Since there are so many people using these sites it is very easy for your film to get out there and get popular.
