Evaluation Question 3

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


Our film was funded independently, and was only shot with 4 crew members and a voluntary actress, so a small british independent company would most likely distribute our film. Most likely starting with a straight to DVD feature and download via itunes e.t.c.


Itunes
Distribution using itunes is a really popular method to sell films, it is apple's creation and is now global. They also distribute many independent films and have made small companies big bucks. due to its accessibility and popularity


Shorts international
Shorts International is based in London, however, also has offices in New York Los Angeles and Paris. I gather from their website that they have links to iTunes, which would mean that the films are distributed to a wide range of people. Their submission form gives the option to state whether it is a student film and if so, what school you attend. I think that this would mean that this company would accept our film and would distribute it for us, definitely as a finished product and possibly also as a 2 minute beginning as it is.


Omni film distribution.
 Omni Film Distribution Inc is based in California and distributes films and sells them on DVD. The description of the film can be found on the website and can also be purchased on the site. They accept films of all genres and lengths so I think that they would accept our film. This would be a good option for us as it would be a way for us to distribute our film on DVD.


I believe that Omni, and itunes would be our best way to go to distribute our film, itunes popularity and direct download system will be a great way of quickly getting our film our around and it is very simple. Omni also a great company because the majority of film audiences still use DVD video to access media products, and due to our length they would gladly accept our film.
