Distribution of my media product

 Where would you see my film?
Putting the
I think my film would be shown film on
television
on the television rather than at would allow
many people
the cinema, as it is a low budget to watch it
without
film and our lack of funding having to
attract them
would also prevent us from through
marketing
marketing the film effectively.
The lack of well-known actors,
directors and producers would
prevent people from being as
interested in the film and as a
result it would probably fail if it
was released in the cinemas.
The editors and actors in my thriller are not well-
known which could affect the film’s popularity
Would it be possible for my film to be
digitally distributed?
It would be possible to distribute my
film on a DVD or as a paid download if DVDs would have
to be produced in
it gained enough popularity. The pros mass and would
therefore only be a
of distributing my film in this manner good idea if the film
gained popularity
would be that it would be a way to
make more money off the film and to
track the film’s popularity based off
sales. The cons of distributing my film Illegal downloading
from the internet has
digitally would be that it could be become more
common in recent
pirated more easily and a lack of times

marketing and well known actors could

lead to poor sales for a DVD which
would have to be mass produced.
 How does my film compare to a
professional film?
I did not have much experience on Adobe
My film has a significantly lower Premiere and had to adapt to it quickly due to
my strict deadline
budget than professional films and as
a result it is more basic and has less
added effects. I also had limited
technology available when producing
my film and had a strict time limit in
which my filming and editing had to
be done. I also only had a few actors –
all of whom were inexperienced –
available to act in my film and as a
result the acting is more rushed and Due to our strict time limit and it being difficult
less professional than it would be in a for us to obtain equipment we had to do all of
our filming in one evening, with only a few
professional film. takes for each shot (a professional film can have
hundreds of takes for just one shot and can take
years to film)
What kind of media institution would
distribute my film?
A distributor such as Film4 would Film4 allows lesser known films (such as “Only
be most suitable for my film, as Yesterday”, seen in the image below) to gain popularity
without large amounts of money having to be spent on
they regularly screen films on marketing
television instead of in the
cinema. They also screen films
that are not necessarily popular or
well known which can help lower
budget films receive airtime and
popularity. Film4 also features a
‘on demand’ system where films
that have gained popularity and
enough requests will be shown on
the television or be made
available on the internet.
