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

The media institution which comes to mind when thinking about who might be able to distribute our film effectively is Working Title Films; as you can see from the logo i have included above. I personally think this seems to be a good choice of distributor because Working Title Films is a highly British company who are becoming more and more well known as they continue to add countless names of films of which they have helped in the distribution process. The fact that Working Title Films is a highly British company also suits our film because we have set it in Britain and have used British actors within it. Alongside this, we know that Working Title Films have previously distributed crime thrillers like our film 'The Bloody Copycat' and so they would be familiar and confident with how to successfully distribute a film like ours. A few of the crime thrillers i have found Working Title Films have previously distributed are; Thirteen, Gone, Elizabeth, Chicago Joe and the Showgirl and Middle of Nowhere Wraps. Possible ways for this distribution may be to have trailers of our film on their website, include photos from within the film, and advertise it through adverts on different sites which can link back to the original site with a lot more information about our film on. Spreading it over the Internet is a highly effective way to communicate to your audience as it is so widely used all over the world and then people talk and it becomes word of mouth which can influence a lot of people's decisions about a film. Working Title Films also includes competitions for different films to attract a larger audience. They include and give details of films which are currently being produced as well and so they can interest the audience before the film is even released. There are also different features available for download on their website such as screen savers, wallpapers, comics and games to entice the audience into the film; which will then be spoken about to friends no doubt and they will want to go and see the film if they have already had different teasers before the actual film.
