Evaluation Question 3:

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
I believe that Studio Canal would be a suitable distributor due to their history with other smaller films with often unknown actors.


Previous films:
'The Awakening'(2011), is a horror thriller distributed by Studio Canal, with an estimated budget of £3,000,000.
'Sarah's Key'(2010) was another small film  at a budget of £10,000,000


These budgets are relatively small compared to the budget for the first of the 'Harry Potter' films; $125,000,000.


'The Awakening' received a gross profit of £669,150 which is successful for a rather unknown film, from a small producer.


This success is something I would attempt to replicate with the film I made.I think this is likely to work as there are many similarities between the smaller films they have distributed and the film that my opening sequence would belong to.
One is the number of people who worked on the editing and filming. In my film this was only me however there are many other small films who have worked with a small team, and have had their films distributed through studio canal.
It would be much more difficult to persuade a larger distributor to distribute my film.
