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

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

If our film was created it would be quite low budget (around £20m) and could be a British independent film the idea and genre of the film is more like a Hollywood production as it is more like "the nutcase next door" idea which links more to a Hollywood movie. 

• Dreamworks SKG - This institution is based in California, America. The hub of Hollywood movies. It develops, produces and distributes films, video games and tv programmes. It has produced or distributed more than 10 films with box-office grosses totalling more than $100 million each. I researched this company and the movies they have produced such as The Lovely Bones and Disturbia and they are quite like my groups idea.

THE LOVELY BONES

A 14-year-old girl is murdered by her neighbour. She tells the story from the place between Heaven and Earth, showing the lives of the people around her and how they have changed all while attempting to get someone to find her lost body. 

This is quite similar to my group because the girl is about the same age and she is about to get murdered, you also see the movie from the girls perspective.

DISTURBIA

After his father is killed in a car accident, he is placed under house-arrest for punching his Spanish teacher. He then occupies himself by spying on his neighbors. But one night, he witnesses what appears to be a murder going on in Mr. Turner's house. 

This is quite similar to our movie from the perspective of the man. The man being Mr Turner as he will eventually murder this girl after enough torture.

• Fox Searchlight Pictures - This is another Hollywood institution which could be interested in distributing our film as it has distributed many other thrillers before and this is the genre of my groups film. One of the movies similar to my groups is One Hour Photo. 

ONE HOUR PHOTO

This film is very similar to ours in the concept that a man becomes obsessed with a family and uses technology and pictures to find out more about them. The man in "One Hour Photo" also is very similar to our man physically, however the only thing different about him is the reason behind developing and keeping these photos.
