Evaluation- Part Three

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

When looking in to distributors i chose Paramount Pictures, mainly because i want our film to be distributed by one of the big five distributors in Hollywood. So i also looked into Warner Brothers and Universal. I chose to look more into paramount pictures as they have a long and thriving history of distributing crime films. I found out that they work a lot with the director Martin Scorsese and he has made many crime films. As for example i found that he made "Shutter Island" in 2010, this is relative to our film as it is a thriller that has crime incorporated within it. As it features a detective trying to solve the case of a missing person. This would be a much more lucrative deal if we can make a connection between our director and our distributor, as their will be history and trustworthiness that will work in our favour.

The films in which Paramount Pictures have distributed that are relatable to our film due to its audiences and genre are "Shutter Island" and "The Godfather". "Shutter Island" is a thriller genre like ours. It's audiences are similar to ours as they are seeking the thrill of a mysterious case. "The Godfather" is a crime genre this is the same as ours. They have a audience that is interested within the true and gritty way in which gangsters work, looking deeply in to their personal lives. The main relatable factor we have with these films is that all of our audiences are mainly seen by men. Also that these films audiences have very similar psychographics to ours, their thrill seeking through the films that they watch.
