EVALUATION QUESTION 3

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

Our media product would most likely be distributed by a more independent label as it is a small budget movie which is made for a particular audience, teenagers. This narrows the amout of people who would go to see the movie or purchase it as it is aimed at a minority however it could have a wider audience. This means it wouldn't make as much at the box office as a big label such as Warner Bro's.
I have been researching different distibutors who would possibly distribute our film. I have found a label called Revolver Entertainment who I think would be the perfect label for our Teen-Drama-Crime Film. They have previously distributed films like ours such as 'Kidulthood', 'Sket' and 'Shank'. 
 Another distrubter who would be suitable to our film would be Universal Studios as they are a global film distrubuter who have previously distrubuted drama films such as Gladiator - which has a lot of not necessarily crime but fight scenes. However, after all my research I believe that the perfect distributer for our film Lexi would be Revolver Entertainment as they have knowledge of both films of our genre and of our target audience so they would be perfect. Also Revolver Entertainment films have done quite well at the box office and are mostly well known, which is the overall aim for our media product.


Our media product would be suitable for a small independent lable as it is a low budget film and would only apeal to a small range of audience and would not apeal world wide. This does limit the amount of people who would see the film, as it would not be in mainstream cinemas.
From the research we have carried out, Revolver Entertainment would be perfect to distribute our movie. They have distributed films like ours, such as, Kidulthood, Shank, Sket, Anuvahood and many more low budget films. A distributer that would not work for our film would be someone like Warner bros. This wouldnt work for our movie because our movie is very low budget film and we are aiming our audience at teenagers. Because we feel our movie is unique in the teenage market (drama/crime aimed at girls) the movie would not sale at box office to the extent as a harry potter film would. However, Revolver Entertainment have been known to do quite well in the box office over the past few years because of the genre of film they usually distribute such as, drama, teen, crime. So this lable would be perfect for our Lexi movie because of its successful background in the film industry. This goes to show that they is a big audience for this genre of film.
