EVALUATION QUESTION 3 - WHAT

KIND OF MEDIA INSTITUTION MIGHT

DISTRIBUTE YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT AND

WHY?

MEDIA INSTITUTIONS• THERE ARE THREE MAIN INSTITUTIONS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY DISTRIBUTE OUR FILM.• A CINEMA IS ONE. CINEMAS ARE THE MAIN PLACE PEOPLE GO TO WATCH FILMS THEY ARE

USUALLY BIG CHAINS THAT SHOW VERY POPULAR FILMS.• TV IS ANOTHER ONE. TV IS VERY WIDESPREAD BECAUSE THERE IS ARE SO MANY PEOPLE

THAT HAVE A TV. PEOPLE DON’T USUALLY LOOK ON TV TO FIND A FILM AND BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY CHANNELS. PEOPLE WONT ALWAYS FIND THE COME ACROSS THE FILM.• ONE MORE IS A FILM FESTIVAL. THIS IS WHERE LOTS OF PEOPLE TRY TO GET RECOGNITION

FROM BIGGER INSTITUTIONS TO DISTRIBUTE THE FILM. IF THE FILM IS GOOD A FILM FESTIVAL CAN START TO MAKE THE FILM QUITE POPULAR.

ODEON CINEMA - GUILDFORD• THE MOST POPULAR GENRE OF FILM

SHOWING AT THE ODEON IS COMEDY. • THIS MEANS THAT THEY MIGHT NOT SHOW

OUR FILM BECAUSE IT IS NOT A COMEDY AND THEY MIGHT NOT WANT TO SHOW THRILLER FILMS AT THE MOMENT.

AMBASSADOR CINEMAS - WOKING• THRILLER IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR GENRE OF FILM BEING

SHOWN AT AMBASSADOR CINEMAS – WOKING.• THE OTHER MOST POPULAR GENRE OF FILM BEING SHOWN AT

THIS CINEMA IS COMEDY.• THIS MEANS THAT THEY MIGHT DECIDE TO SHOW A THRILLER

FILM LIKE YOUR ONE AT THE CINEMA AS THAT IS THE KIND OF FILM THAT THEY WANT TO SHOW AT THE MOMENT. THIS COULD BE BECAUSE LOTS OF PEOPLE WANT TO SEE THESE KIND OF FILMS AND THEY ARE MAKING A LOT OF MONEY OUT OF THEM.

BFI SOUTHBANK• THE BFI SOUTHBANK SHOWS MANY FILMS THAT ARE NOT GENERALLY SHOW AT NORMAL CINEMAS LIKE ODEON.• THESE INCLUDE CLASSIC FILMS THAT ARE

POPULAR BUT BECAUSE OF THEIR AGE, ARE NOT SHOWN IN CINEMAS ANYMORE AND CONTEMPORARY FILMS THAT WOULD NOT BE SHOWN AT NORMAL CINEMAS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT AS POPULAR AS OTHER FILM AND WON’T MAKE AS MUCH MONEY.

BFI SOUTHBANK• ALL THE FILMS THAT ARE BEING SHOWN AT THE BFI AT THE

MOMENT ARE EITHER OLDER FILMS OR FILMS THAT ARE NOT KNOWN MY MANY PEOPLE. THEY ARE ALL VERY DIFFERENT TO WHAT IS SHOWN AT CINEMAS LIKE ODEON.• THERE IS MORE CHANCE OF THE BFI SHOWING OUR FILM

THAN OTHER, BIGGER CHAINS OF CINEMAS LIKE ODEON. THIS IS BECAUSE THE BFI IS NOT LOOKING FOR BIG, POPULAR FILMS THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE LOADS OF MONEY, THEY ARE LOOKING FOR FILMS THAT ARE DIFFERENT TO MOST FILMS THAT ARE SHOWING IN CINEMAS.

SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL• THE SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL IS AN

EVENT WHERE FILM MAKERS CAN SUBMIT THEIR FILMS. THE FILMS ARE JUDGED AND SOME WILL BE SHOWN DURING THE FESTIVAL.• IT IS A GOOD WAY OF NEW FILM

MAKERS TO GET RECOGNISION FOR THEIR FILMS AND GET INTO THE INDUSRTY.

FILM FESTIVALS• FILM FESTIVALS SHOW FILMS THAT ARE NOT VERY

WELL KNOWN AND CAN BE VERY GOOD FOR NEW FILM MAKERS AS IT IS A CHANCE FOR PEOPLE TO SEE THEIR WORK.• FILM FESTVALS MIGHT BE A GOOD WAY TO

DISTRIBUTE OUR FILM. THIS IS BECAUSE THERE ARE LOTS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF FILM FESTIVALS, EVEN ONES SPECIALLY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. IT WOULD BE A GOOD WAY OF DISTRIBUTING OUR FILM BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE WOULD SEE THE FILM AND IT IS FAIRLY EASY TO SUBMIT COMPARED TO OTHER INSTITUTIONS.

THRILLER FILMS SHOWN ON TV (FILM 4)• FILMS SHOWN ON THIS TV

CHANNEL ARE QUITE BIG, POPULAR FILMS. HOWEVER, MOST OF THEM HAVE BEEN OUT FOR A FEW YEARS.• THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER TV

CHANNELS THAT SHOW FILMS THAT ARE NOT VERY POPULAR.• OUR FILM PROBABLY WOULD NOT

BE SHOWN ON A TV CHANNEL ESPECIALLY FILM 4 BECAUSE IT IS NOT VERY POPULAR.

WHERE WOULD OUR FILM BE SHOWN?• I THINK OUR FILM WOULD BE SHOWN AT A FILM FESTIVAL. MORE SPECIFICALLY

A YOUNG FILMMAKERS FESTIVAL OR COMPETITION.• THERE ARE LOTS OF THESE AROUND THE COUNTRY INCLUDING ONE RUN BY

THE BFI.• I THINK THIS WOULD BE THE BEST WAY OF SHOWING OUT FILM. THIS IS

BECAUSE MOST OTHER INSTITUTIONS WANT TO SHOW FILMS THAT ARE ALREADY POPULAR. ALSO, WE MIGHT NOT GET AS MUCH RECOGNITION IF WE SHOW OUR FILM AT A NORMAL FILM FESTIVAL BECAUSE OF OUR AGE.• IF IT WAS SHOWN AT A YOUNG FILMMAKERS FESTIVAL IT WILL BE SHOWN WITH

OTHER FILMS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO IT AND WOULD STAND OUT IF IT IS GOOD.
