Evaluation 3

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

As our film was a British production we wanted to use British production and distribution companies. We researched different distributors and producers and decided that Momentum Pictures and Bitten Productions would be the best studios to distribute our film as they fit well with our films genre and principles.

Momentum Pictures



We chose momentum pictures as our distribution company as they are a well known and highly popular British distributor. Our film is a solely British production and would be highly suitable for Momentum Pictures as they have previous success in the Zombie genre with films like The
Crazies, a film similar in many respects to our own. It didn't need a huge budget ($20 million), as it relied on high quality cinematography rather than expensive effects. It isn't a huge blockbuster but it is focused on creating a good film rather than just focusing on profits. It didn't have a saturated release since it doesn't have that wide reach.As Momentum Pictures have plenty of resources, they could easily get our film into the cinemas we want it to be in, as they have done the same before with films like The Crazies, Hobo with a shotgun, Seven Psychopaths and Haywire.




Bitten Productions


We decided to create our own production company, Bitten Productions. We needed an organisation that specialised in post-apocalyptic films.It would be well established with a good track record of producing high quality films in the Zombie genre. Its successful reputation would attract a faithful audience to films associated with its brand.
