What kind of institution might distribute your media product and why?
Our production company is called "sandman studios" the role of the production company is simple, they are there to help in picking the cast, selecting the schedule, deciding the budgeting and writing deciding on the script. We decided on calling our company "sandman studios" as a man made of sand is clearly a unnatural sighting, causing you to feel uneasy.
A distributor is a company that handles the publicity of the film and distributes the film in various countries. As a group we decided on Lionsgate to distribute our film, as in the past they have distributed many over horror films, and have been successful at doing so. Due to this, Lionsgate will have the right audience for our film thus making our film more profitable.
For a small company like ours with little money to publicise our film the money could be funded from BFI, BFI use funds from the national lottery to help out small indie UK film makers like us for example. BFI would allow us to use the money for the producing and development of the film. We would be accepted by BFI as we fit their criteria for the money, thus we could use that money to fully develop our film to make it the best we could.
Our film will be shown at smaller screenings, at small indie cinemas showing the less popular low budget UK films. It could also been shown online, and gain popularity from the online audience on websites such as Netflix and Amazon prime. Our film will be rated 15 as it is a horror film however there are no extremely violent scenes.
