Task 3- What kind of Media institution might distribute your media product?



I think our film “Elizabeth's Diary” should be distributed by a major Hollywood film studio as this way we would have access to better funding and more A list actors. By having A list actors the film will get more interest as the actors will have there own fans who will go to see them in any film. I think a good institute to distribute our film would be ‘Go Fish Pictures’. ‘Go fish Pictures’ is the specialty film division of the DreamWorks SKG film studio. They have distributed films such as “Casshern” and “The Chumscrubber”. This division is good because it has made films with both action and a good storyline. I want this because although I want to have access to the special effects and action I also want there to be a strong and interesting story line which is not the norm in “high concept films”. Another institute which may be good would be “Twisted Pictures”. Twisted Pictures is a production company which is part of “Lionsgate”, mainly creating films of the horror genre. It gained wide attention through the production of the Saw series. They would have the most expertise in the horror side of “Elizabeth’s Diary”
This of course would be the best case scenario, as I making this film I would be a new film maker it is very unlikely that a Hollywood film studio would make my film. So I also looked into the English independent film industry. I think that Warp would also be a good option to make “Elizabeth’s Diary”. They have also made popular English teen horror film “donkey punch” and “This is England”. Although the film would not have access to a large amount of funding, we would still have access to high levels of expertise. Warp also have connections to 'Film 4' (an example of this is 'this is England which was co-funded by 'fim 4')it would also be advertised and shown on their television network. Also this is improve "Elizabeth's diary"'s distribution possibilities as 'film 4' have links to production, distribution and exhibition in Europe through their affiliates..
