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

I feel that the companies in which would distribute our work would be Coffee films and White lantern, as they are very mainstream but also independent companies which often lack big special effects and target real, gritty drama. Which is what we have done. However, within out idents we also placed Hammer to be part of the distributing process, but I now feel that Hammer is outdated and would specify for more stereotypical story lines including, stalking or ghosts. Our's very much subverts this with being original in using the sins as emotions, which she is struggling to identify as reality or subconscious feelings. Hammer I feel relates more to monsters and supernatural beings, plus it being one of the big 5, would make the film internationally known rather than a TV Film or British film in which I feel that our thriller is.Coffee film and white lantern also make sense in location as they are relatively close and working in the UK. Therefore, I being specific to the UK, whereas Hammer is universally recognized. The independent companies also tend to use upcoming actors and actresses, in which is what we have achieved. In contrast, programs in the British television that would be best to dispatch the film would be, Film4 as they often supply gritty films that perhaps would be in cinemas, but only British cinemas rather than being screened in international cinemas. Film4, would also address our target audience as the program is for all ages, but teenagers tend to watch the channel more as they screen films that are more specific to that age bracket, including Kidadulthood and Tinker,Tailor, Sailor Spy just to name a few.
