Evaluation 3

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

A production company is responsible for the creation and production of a media product, therefore  we could say  Alice, Bethany, myself, the I.T team and Ms. Hammond has acted like a production company throughout the process of producing an opening scene. Alice, Bethany and myself we responsible for every aspect film, with guidance from the I.T team and Ms. Hammond. 

A distributor is a company responsible for releasing media products to the public. An ideal distributor for our product could be paramount films, distributing similar films including 'shutter island.' We could also distribute our film at a film festival such as 'slamdance festival' or 'screamfest film festival' this is where Paranormal activity was first screened, and being a similar genre and amateur production like ours, would be an ideal place to screen it. 

We view our film as being institutionally similar to Paranormal activity and Blare witch project. This is because both are low budget films, and amateur productions filmed on handheld cameras similar to the ones we used.

Alice, Bethany and myself could be seen as the distributors of the film, as we have showed people it to get audience feedback. We did this through the use of dvd burning and youtube, so youtube could also be seen as a distributor. 

The budget of our film was extremely low, spending nothing on it, just using old clothes and make up was already had. But as we view ourselves as being institutionally similar to paranormal activity,  we would be looking at a similar budget to theirs of $15,000. 

We have not added titles to our film to show how did what, as we all worked together as the production company deserve equal recognition.
