Evaluation task 3

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

We feel that we would want our film to be produced by Working Titles films, which is a British institution, owned by Universal studios. They have produced films such as Shaun of the dead, rush, the theory of everything, which are British based but come across as quite Hollywood, which is what we are looking for in our film.We would want our film to be released internationally, not just in the UK and US and with our product i think that it would be achievable as we would have quite a large audience for his type of film. We would need our distributor to be able to get our product out to a wide audience in order to maximize the revenue we can get back from our product. We would want our cast to be British to fit the film, we would choose them by having interviews and choosing the candidates who we felt matched the character descriptions the best.

We want our film to come across as a Mid-budget political thriller, and more of a Hollywood film than a British independent one. We expect it to be released into the cinema and to do relatively well in the box office, we expect it to make the cost of production back in the opening weekend in box office. Then later in the value chain we expect to make good DVD sales. Additionally we would release it onto netflix and other platforms such as Sky Furthermore Working title has already partnered up with other production companies and distributors in previous film, which could give us the opportunity to collaborate with more than one company as well, which would benefit our product a great deal.
