Evaluation: Question 3

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

Our film opening is suitable for all types of institutions who are looking to distribute our specific type of sub-genre (slasher horror).

For our specific film we used universal studios.

Universal Studios:

Universal studios- is a subsidiary of Comcast and a division of NBC Universal, is one of the six major movie studios. Founded by Carl Laemmle in 1912, Universal is the second oldest movie studio in the world that is still in continuous production; the first being Gaumont Pictures, the next oldest is Paramount Pictures. Universal studios is ranked one of the largest movie studios and is recognized world wide so therefore it has plenty of money behind it and would be good getting a film into their cinema line as it would make it more easier for it to become successful. 

We used the universal studios logo at the bringing of our film to make it look more professional.

Halloween 2 is one of the slasher films that has been distributed by Universal Studios.

Vertigo films:

Vertigo films –are an independent British film production and film distribution company based in London that was founded in 2002. Vertigo Films has been responsible for the production and distribution StreetDance 3D.
