Evaluation 3

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

As a group, deciding which distributor was most suitable for "The Remembering" and which would grant most success was a difficult decision as each group member had their own ideal distributor and argument as to why their company was the best, in the end we managed to cut it down to 3 different distributors.

BH Productions

Blumhouse Productions is an American film production company mostly known for their production of low-budget horror movies. Blumhouse has produced iconic horror films such as Paranormal Activity, Insidious and Sinister franchises and closely focuses on the supernatural side of horror films. Blumhouse Productions would be a good distributor for "The Remembering" because they produce low-budget horror films passing them onto bigger companies to distribute them worldwide earning a high gross. Blumhouse specialise in supernatural horror films which is the genre for our film therefore their expert knowledge would benefit us the most and help produce a great film with scariest scenes possible to frighten and grip our audience.

 

 

 

Icon Films

Icon Films is a UK film distributor company who collaborate with local and worldwide companies to help independent films be the best they can be. Icon Films is one of the best film distributors in the UK and have helped distribute top end films such as Paranormal Activity and Transporter 3 and have generated £150million at box office making them a very successful distributor. Icon Films would be a good possible choice of distributor for The Remembering as they successfully distribute small, independent films and lead them on to success and a high gross but have additionally distributed top end films and led them on to success proving that this company is effective and reliable and a good choice of distributor in order to make a successful film. In the end it was Icon Films who we chose as our distributor for The Remembering as the company is a local and individual one which more or less guarantees a high chance of success due to its past and examples of movies that its distributed. Comparing Icon Films to the other companies, whilst BH Productions is a good choice of distributor, it focuses on producing more than distributing and therefore wouldn't be as successful as Icon Films would be in terms of actually distributing the film, not producing.  And in terms of Warner Brothers, this huge conglomerate company would be too big of a company to make them our distributor and wouldn't distribute our film. Instead we should look at smaller, individual companies such as Icon Films as a desired distributor as they are more likely to work with us and can still guarantee a success and high gross.

 

 

 

Warner Brothers

Warner Bros. is an international company and one of the largest television and film companies in the world- and arguable the most known. Warner Bros. additionally works in distributing supernatural horror films and has distributed famous horror films such as The Conjuring and Sinister leading them onto high grosses at box office. Furthermore, Warner Bros. is a huge conglomerate company and have worked with BH Productions on many accounts before and would therefore be a great choice of distributor- whilst Blumhouse could expertly produce The Remembering, Warner Bros. could distribute it across the world increasing it's population and summing up a huge and impressive gross. That alone is one of the reasons why Warner Brothers would be a choice of distributor but secondly the size of this conglomerate would guarantee success and an attraction for worldwide audiences, plus, the money they could spend and smaller companies filling in on improvements would help produce an amazing film and lead The Remembering on to great success.
