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

What sort of distributor?
- An independent distributor, for example ‘Dogwoof’. The company ‘want[s] to offer [their] experience and services to new and emerging filmmakers’.
- Another distributor who would possibly be interested in our film would be ‘Verve Pictures’, (they work with international films as well as British).


'Verve' has been involved in films such as ‘When Will I Be Loved’ (James Tobak, 2004), a film similar to ours. The female protagonist takes out her revenge on two men who have taken her for granted and who assume that they are superior to her. Too late, they discover that they are in over their heads. This film is similar to ours, in that the female protagonist is a strong woman who is acting out revenge.Our female character and 'Vera' (Neve Campbell) from ‘When Will I Be Loved’

What would the distributor do?
- Help market our film and help the film gain popularity before it even comes into a cinema
- This could be done on social networking sites, for example ‘Facebook’ and ‘YouTube’. This would mean that if our film gets picked up by a cinema then there will be people who want to go and see it.
- They would also help get our film into a cinema.

Where would the film be shown?
- It would be shown in an independent cinema for example, The Barbican, London.
- This is because the film is low budget and doesn’t look particularly ‘Hollywood’.
- It would not get a longer run than one night as it is unlikely to get a lot of people wanting to go and see it.
- Also, there would be some independent cinemas that it would not be shown in, as some only show niche films or films with cult status.

It could also be shown at a student film festival, for example Exposures, a festival for students under nineteen to show their short films and moving image projects, in Manchester.

As our sequence represents different perspectives on people’s lives in Britain it is possible it would only be shown in Britain. However, if it was made with a bigger budget it could be shown globally, especially in America as in America there is a love of all things British, and as shown at the moment a love of British actors (Kate Winslet winning two Golden Globes)
