Marcelle - 3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

'Social Suicide' would be an independent film as it converts the stereotypical characters of thrillers and movies in general: submerging the villain with the victim making it more of an psychological enigma and aiming it at teenagers, making our audience a niche one. As our movie is independent, the money to produce it would either have to come from us, our school or an independent distributer like Revolver Entertainment, Film 4 productions or Momentum Pictures.

Independent films such as the King's Speech (Momentum), Kidadulthood (Revolver) and Attack the Block (Film 4) have been featured through these distributers and have still been seen by a wider audience than most independent films.

 

  

  

This was done through adverts on popular or more commercial tv channels, reaching a wider audience, including a wider secondary audience. This means if we were to use these distributers, hopefully our niche movie would still have the rough, inde pendent feel, allowing our film to have more focus on the storyline opposed to having to appeal to a commerial audience, but still have a good size audience and exposure. They have also had previous films aimed at a teenage audeince, making them have more experience and have proven success at distributing films like ours.
