In our group we are going to be producing a short opening of a film, our film is going to be under the genre of a crime thriller. As we are A level students, with a limited amount of knowledge and experience of film making we are not expecting our sequence to be taking the interests of a very big distribution company. To add to this as our film is an English film, which means that it is a lot less likely that a American distribution company would be interested in our product as it would not be as appealing or relevant to their audiences.
FILM 4
- The first media institution that I looked was 'FILM 4' which is a British digital television channel which is available in the United Kingdom and is owned and operated by the well known company; 'Channel 4 television cooperation'. This channel provides films in standard definition for viewers free of charge, which is why i think that this distribution company would be a company interested in distributing our film. As film 4 is a company that doesn't request its viewers to pay additional costs to view its films, i think that it would be a good accompany to try and interest in our film because the company will have quite a large amount of viewers, which would help to publicise our product. Another reason why i think that this company would be interested in our film is because they have distributed films under the same genre previously, which leads me to think that they have already planned and targeted a specific audience for the same genre as our film, which means that our film may be suitable for their targeted audience.
An example of a film under the same genre as ours that film 4 have distributed is the film; Broken City, which is also a crime thriller.
VERTIGO FILMS
Another distribution company that I looked at, which could be a possible company that would be interested in distributing our film, is the company; VERTIGO FILMS. Vertigo films are a British film distribution company, which is one of the reasons why I thought they would be another possible distribution company, as our film is a British film which means it would appeal to their audiences. Furthermore, Vertigo films isn't a substantially big distribution company, which means that it would be more interested in films that have been made under a low budget, and therefore having a low budget distribution deal as well, which is something that me and my group would be looking to organise. To add to this Vertigo films has also distributed films under the same genre previously, which means that this company would already have an audience that are interested in thriller films. An example of a film under the thriller genre would be the film 'THE SWEENEY', which was released in 2012 by Vertigo films.
ICON FILMS
An additional distribution company that I looked at, which could be a possible company willing to organise a deal and distribute our product is the company; 'ICON FILM DISTRIBUTION'. This company is another British distribution company, an is often confused or mistaken for the American distribution company called; 'ICON PRODUCTIONS'. This company produce factual programmes for broadcast by network in the United Kingdom and in America, which is the reason why this company wouldn't be a suitable company to try and organise a distribution deal, as our product would not be appealing to their audiences.
CONCLUSION TO INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH: As the ICON FILMS company would not have a suitable audience for our product to appeal to, I have come to the conclusion that me and my group should be trying to organise some type of distribution deal with a company similar to the VERTIGO FILMS and FILM4. The reason why is because they have a suitable audience, and have released similar films under the same genre, to add to this FILM4 are a slightly larger company which could make it harder to form a deal with as they would be looking for higher budget films. So I think that VERTIGO FILMS would be an preferable company to organise a deal with as it has a suitable audience and is a relatively small company that would be looking for a low budget cost film; like our film.
