Evaluation Question 3

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


Our production company is called GPH Productions. We focus on making gritty, realistic and hard hitting movies that deal with current issues for those who enjoy more intense thrillers. We're trying to reach an audience of intellectual older teenagers and younger adults. Because of our niche audience we'd expect our movie to be independent and released at smaller cinemas such as the Phoenix, East Finchley.

One of the movies we looked at previously was 'The Last House on the Left' (2009, Iliadis). It was also focused around rape and this film was produced and distributed by the company Rogue Pictures. Rogue Pictures distribute other films of a similar genre (ie. thriller/horror) such as 'The Hitcher' and 'The Strangers.' 

Our distribution company was called 'Heartbeat films' implying that they distribute movies that make your heart beat ie. Dramatic, intense fims.

We would start off by exhibiting our film at film festivals such as the 'Sundance Film Festival.' An example of a successful film that was screened there is 'Paranormal Activity, Peli, 2009,' and independent movie which became a huge success.  

Since our film is focused around a British female teenager from London, we would also try screening our film at the London Independent Film Festival as the audience that would be able to relate to the movie the most would be reached through this platform of exhibition.
