EVAULATION - What kind of Media Institution might distribute your Media Product and why?

The kind of media institution distribute my media product would be the UK film council because it’s an independent film which the UK film council can fund for a low budget. One of there types grants are the premiere fund as they receive there money from the lottery.

Another option for this distribution of independent films is new media technology, where you can distribute digitally somewhere like caachi or create space Amazon UNBOX ( or sometimes even Itunes)

Online stores like these act as the middle men (intermediaries) who look for people to buy your content and people are going to buy them off these sites. Some deals mean the producers of the text can get 70% of the profit, with around 30% going to big popular online distributors. They will put there stuff on there server and allow people to download on HD quality. Apple generally only wants proven popular content though, or content that has been sold in a "job lot" as a collection of good independent films.

I learnt a lot about all this from an article on the net called

HOW TO GET YOUR INDIE FILM ON ITUNES... IT'S NOT EASY!!!
which we analysed and joined the forum on - at the end there were real fim makers discussing their problems and ideas on how to solve them like the company below...

There are also smaller companies like stonehenge below - that will sell your film as a smaller file for portable devices like iphones.

http://www.stonehengeproductions.com/Stonehenge/home.html

We enable independent film producers to sell their films on iTunes as applications for the iPhone and iTouch.
HOW?
Contact us and we’ll provide you with a link to upload your film. Once we have the film we’ll turn it into a customized application. You’ll get final review and you’ll continue to hold all rights to the film. We’ll submit it to Apple and manage the whole selling process through the App store.
We charge $150 to develop the app and a 5% royalty on App store sales (net revenue). You get everything else.



Another way of doing it is film festivals the UK film council can get you picked up for people such as pathé a mainstream distributor to put you on a real screen instead of online. The production values that reflect my low budget production.





My essay on the Hollywood Batman film (below) made it clear to me that my film is not suited for a hollywood context!!

Describe the processes of production distribution and marketing which are used to make Hollywood films successful with their target audience. Make references to specific examples preferably “the dark night”

There are many processes used by production distribution in order to advertise and distribute motion picture. There is also are target audience for these productions, which they believe is suitable for the film.
The process begins through a concept which can be an original screenplay for example a real life experience or can be an adaptation from existing work, novels, plays or a sequel from “Batman Begins”, therefore we have a lot of franchise, which can be easier for the production to promote the motion picture, as it already has a large following from the original and the DC comic series.
After the concept there is the process of “the players” which consist of a writer – the creator of the script. Agents (represents client) producers (guides a project through development) and finally the studies and production companies, which are responsible for 75% of vs. cinema output. “The Dark Knight” was supported by a branch from time Warner. Which is named warner bros. after this process, comes the development deals and finace which provides funding for a producer to develop a project? This also helps to fund the production being the primary source of fiancé for a company
Finally the production needs to be given a green light in order for the pre production to begin. A production needs to get all of these elements a place which can take a numerous amounts of years.
“The Dark Knight” has a great advantage, as Christopher Nolan, produced and directed both “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight”, which was successful attracting a large audience to see the sequel. They used their protagonists, to promote their picture. The character named the joker was launched on all areas of merchandise, including posters, clothing and even a web site. Also the character of Harvey dent was published on a website named “I believe in Harvey dent too”. The film was rated as a 12 A, portraying that they wanted a range of target audience varying from children to adults. Not all productions get they rating desire for example the motion picture named “this is England”, believed their film was rated a 15 however the film authority bbfc believed it was suitable an 18 and rated it that. As it had prolific swearing and violence.
In conclusion a production is a long process before the film is made which then has to be marketed through adverts billboards and merchandise and I believe “The Dark Knight” was successful in theirs campaign through use of new media.
