Evaluation Question 3

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

Major films are publicised widely so that many people become aware of the film and it is being heard of so that people will come and watch it. They do this through the distributors who make and sell copies of the films for others to watch and share. Also, they create advertising for the certain film so that it meets its target audience and has a wider range of people it can attract.

For our piece we knew that we would not be able to attract a top hollywood distributor because our film and actors was not good enough for them to be interested. Therefore we thought that someone who owned a small amateur film company or a local printing company.

They might distribute our film but it would be at a cost to us and we would not have been able to afford this due to our budget. Also, they would have distributed it for free but only if they knew for certain that we would have made a profit from our film and then they would have put a contract in place to ensure they got the money.

Another institution that might distribute our film is the Education Board. This is because it could be used in work in schools and as an example for other teachers and students to use.
