Evaluation 2

What institution might distribute your media product?
I think that a British institution should distribute my film due to the fact that it was low budget production so won’t have the quality of some of the big American institutions such as Warner Brother or Paramount pictures. I also think that it should be distributed by a British institution because it is in British settings with British actors. The film institution that I have chosen to distribute my film is Hammer. It was launched in 1934 and made classics such as Dracula and the curse of Frankenstein.
‘Hammer films had low budgets, but none the less appeared lavish, making use of quality British actors and cleverly designed sets. During its most successful years, Hammer dominated the Horror film market, enjoying worldwide distribution and considerable financial success. This success was due, in part, to distribution partnerships with major United States studios, such as Warner Brothers’
As my film is a low budget British film I think it suits the Hammer films that they make. Also Hammer specialise in horror films so this is the genre that they will be looking for in films they are doing to distribute. With Hammer being so successful in horror genre already they will be able to help me make my film more effective with better to be able to add special effects. Therefore I think that Hammer films are the best institution to distribute my film because it is a British institution that specialises in horror films. As you can see from their web page it focuses a lot of the horror genre.
