EVALUATION ACTIVITY 3

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

In my opinion, the best way to distribute our media product would be showing it in cinemasacross the world, and possibly on DVD's. After that the following media institutions could also distribute it to give it more exposure:

Channel 4:

The Film4 channel is available for free to everyone with digital TV. I would distribute our media production there because they showcase a wide range of titles, including the best of British film-making, US independent films, but especially action/adventure films such as ‘Transformers’, ‘Kontrol’, ‘Jumper’, ‘Hitman’, ‘Mr.& Mrs. Smith’…

8^th London Independent Film Festival:

Our film could be screened at a film festival like the London Independent Film Festival. It is the premier event for micro-budget and no budget films in the UK.It offers a fantastic opportunity for young filmmakers to showcase their achievements.

LIFF presents the best of low-budget filmmaking from around the world, and mixes it up with relevant industry discussions and targeted social networking events. Its audience is London’s sizeable multicultural public.

I feel that this film festival could be beneficial because we could learn from other people’s media productions and we could also receive feedback from the audience.

ODEON Cinemas:

I believe that this would be a great place to show our media production because the action/adventure genre is quite popular in these local cinemas. ODEON Cinemas currently only show nine films at their Guilford venue, and four of them have been labeled as either action or adventure genre:

-         ‘The tourist’

-         ‘Unstoppable’

-         ‘Tron legacy’

-         ‘Harry Potter and the deathly hallows’

This cinema can provide a useful and relevant study aid for further and higher education. It’s a real treat too, making a visit to ODEON Cinemas the perfect reward for good behaviour or for record levels of attendance.
