CR-Evaluation Question 3

Our media production would be aimed towards the independent cinema because of its low budget. Our film belongs to the independent film industry because of its ultra low budget and that we are not owned by any one person i.e (a conglomerate such as Time Warner) However before it reaches this stage our film would have to go through a number of pitches to enlist investors or production/distribution companies. These pitches would include the explanation of our target audiences, our narrative and our financial expectations. If such negotiations were to succeed our film would be green lighted, meaning we could begin production.

However because our film is a sci-fi/thriller genre its target audience is the core audience of 15-24 years, and because of this it is unlikely that it would be exhibited by any independent cinema (Curzon cinema's). This would result in a straight to DVD release (Bloody Wednesday, Gilhuis, 1987-an example of a film that shares our genre that went straight to VHS) distributed by a small distribution company such as Prism Entertainment. However our film has a fairly unique genre through which we could exploit a niche in the market, our costs would also be very low because we wouldn't have to pay exhibitors.


The internet has helped distribute our type of film because the majority of the world's population has access to this phenomenom, if we were to distribute or screen our film by the internet we would be advertising/screening to the majority of the world, this would greatly improve the number of viewings and thus a greater revenue.
