Evaluation Q. 3

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

What is a Distributor? And what is their role? http://www.creativeskillset.org/film/jobs/distribution/article_4958_1.asp

Looking at the site, a Distributor's role is:

• To project and maintain films in the marketplace.
•  To connect each film they send out with the largest possible audience. 
• To be tactical and abundant with knowledge about promotion and publicity in order to appease audiences to see their films.

Out of all the distributors to use out there, I think the one I would most definitely use for our type of opening sequence would be Momentum Pictures: http://www.momentumpictures.co.uk/

This is the IMDb link: http://www.imdb.com/company/co0049085/

These are some of the movies that Momentum Pictures have distributed which are similar to our genre:

The Raid:  http://www.imdb.co.uk/title/tt1899353/

Welcome To The Punch: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1684233/

Seven Psychopaths: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1931533/

Hit and Run: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2097307/

Lawless: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1212450/

Safe: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1656190/

Justice: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1214962/

The reason why I would choose this distributor over any other is because they are known for distributing films of similar genres, not just our genre but sub-genres. The various posters that are promoted by this distributor highlight that they are knowledgeable about how to target the audience efficiently and effectively. It is also evident that because of their success in promoting their films, they receive a high revenue income so they are financially stable and have strong connections with UK cinemas to create as much of a wide release as possible.


Here is a trailer for the up and coming film 'Safe', starring Jason Statham:
