Evaluation Question 3

3: What Kind of Media Institution Might Distribute Your Media Product and Why?

                European: For a European distribution possibility we have decided that Momentum Pictures as they have distributed many horror films such as “Sinister” and “The Woman in Black” which have been very successful within their genre. Momentum pictures is a part of Entertainment One Ltd and releases approximately 20 films a year. In 2011 Momentum Pictures won 8 BAFTA awards which was higher than any other UK distributor, seven of the awards went to “The Kings Speech” They have distributed low-budget films such as “V/H/S” which was good at creating suspense which is what our film entails.

                American: For an American distribution company we have decided that Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. as they have successfully distributed many large horror films such as “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and “The Conjuring” which demonstrates that they are comfortable with distributing horror films at high budgets. Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. Is a subsidiary of Time Warner and is a member of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).

                Our created distributor: We created the distribution company Smokehouse which would specialise in horror films of a lower budget. The logo we created was designed to resemble the genre of film that it distributed so we used dark red colours.
