Evaluation activity 3 - What kind of media institution might distribute your media product & why?

In this section of the evaluation I will be looking at where or how I can distribute my film to my target audience.

Firstly, my film is a low budget independent British film. I believe the way I would want my film to be shown in an independent cinema as they show smaller budget films. I would not want my film in a famous cinema such as the Odeon as they show bigger budget films. The films they show at the moment;
  • Arthur Christmas 3D
  • Happy Feet 2, 3D
  • The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1
  • Hugo 3D
  • My Week With Marilyn
  • Puss In Boots 3D
  • New Year's Eve
  • A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas
  • Another Earth
  • Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl
These are all big budget American films. Also as its near Christmas time it's mainly family, comedy, drama and films aimed at children, young people (18+) and the older market (parents) this is because mainly families and those with disposable income visit the cinema as they have more free time during the Christmas holidays. 

In terms of television I feel my film would be suited to channel such as the Horror Channel, again as this is a lower budget channel it would be more likely to show lower budget films. They do show American films but lower budget ones or slightly older ones; 
Horror Channel shows films from 2005 and 2008
I do not think my film would fit in on a high budget channel such as Sky Movies Horror as they show high budget new films;

Also I feel my film would also suit channels such as Film 4 as it often shows lower budget or older horror films such as Saw.
