Evaluation Post 3: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

The production company we chose to produce our film was BBC Films - the film making sector of the BBC. We chose BBC Films because they are a known for making British independent films and our film has a strong British feel due to its British cast and crew. In addition to this our film's main location is London. BBC films have produced a wide range of films from comedies to thrillers.

Below is a table showing our inspirations from the BBC and how they relate to our film.

Production Budget

As our film is an independent film and we require no major special or visual effects, a small budget would be suitable. Additionally, we would most likely film on location so making sets would not be necessary. Thriller films also focus more on narrative rather than effects and CGI. Using the psychological thriller 'We Need to Talk About Kevin' (an independent film which is produced by BBC Films and is of a similar genre) as a guideline, I think that a budget of £5,500,000 would be appropriate for our film. 



The company that we chose to distribute our film was Summit Entertainment. We chose to have Summit Entertainment as our distributor because they distribute across international territories which gives our film a global reach. Additionally they distributed 'P2' which was one of our biggest influences. Below is a prezi which contains our marketing and release plan. These were based on the marketing and releases of Summit Entertainments other films.
