Evaluation, Task 3.

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

It would definitely have to be a low budget media institution like “Warp” it does actually fit their usually gritty type of film but does not however show or represent social realism in any way, like most of their films do.  Also with its low budget, limited connections and lack of companies to converge with it may not be able to make the film appeal to a worldwide audience or publicize it in the same way a major media conglomerate like “Universal” could attracting worldwide attention and id it was of limited interest to people money loss wouldn’t be a problem to a huge company like this, they can afford to take risks, as opposed to a small company like warp who cannot. Universal may like the idea of a low budget horror film opening, as it could be something which they could expand upon and turn it into a worldwide phenomenon like paranormal activity was.  

Kevin Williamson, the writer of ‘scream’ and ‘I know what you did last summer’ maybe interested in our non-stereotypical storyline and the fact that it is subverted in terms of his storylines. It is something fresh and original that he may like to act upon, as it is something that is different to what he has already done and he may believe that this is what a 2011/2012 audience are ready for as opposed to his late 90’s early 2000’s string of successful films.

Williamson works for Miramax and therefore this is the sort of institution which may distribute our product as it fits the chain of other teen horrors they have distributed like:

·         The Halloween chain

·         The scary movie chain (although humour related)

·         The Scream chain

·          I Know What You Did Last Summer

·         A Nightmare On Elm Street 3
