  1. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? Evaluation Question 3 By Robbie Marshall-Andrews

  2. What is a Film Distributor? • A film distributor is an independent company, a subsidiary company or occasionally an individual, which acts as the final agent between a film production company, and a film exhibitor, to the end of securing placement of the producer's film on the exhibitor's screen. In the film business, the term "distribution" refers to the marketing and circulation of movies in theatres, and for home viewing (DVD, Video-On-Demand, Download, Television etc).

  3. Who would distribute our film? • We have made a low budget, independent British film. Because of this we needed to choose a film distributor from the likes of Vertigo Films, DNA Films and Film 4. • We chose DNA films as we felt it suited our film the best as it has had success with other films in the same genre like ’28 Weeks Later’ which was a sequel to the even more successful ‘28 Days Later’. Both of these films targeted the same audience as we are so we feel that they are our best bet. We checked out their website and looked through their details which helped us to decide that this was the correct film distributor for us. This is their website: http://www.dnafilms.com/

  4. How have we shown they are our distributors? After the title sequence in our opening sequence we have put DNA Films’ ident to show that they are our distributor. This is good for them as it promotes their company and it is good for us as people associate DNA Films with high quality films so they are more likely to watch our film.
