Evaluation Question 3

What Kind of Media Institution might distribute your media product and why?


Our genre in which our film is based on is documentary genre. The film takes in the real life events which took place in London last summer back in August. This genre is interesting for many reasons including the fact out of the genres in which many films are made there is only a selected few documentary films which are popular amongst award nominations and displayed at almost every possible cinema.


Our film would be screened at mainstream cinema's throughout the United Kingdom. The whole point in our hypothesis for this is that this event was undertook by the eyes of many people. For Londoners they were at the heart of what was going on, while the news channels showed us at home and away from the capital what was going on. The cinema sees a high proportion of youths visiting so this would attract there eyes and they would be intrigued to see our movie as it is a sensistive topic for many teenagers. Also by having an audience in which is middle-aged we see many people who have a split opinion the situation. By allowing the film to be screened across the breadth of the British Isles we see many people understudy what really went on and people's valid views from the big smoke itself.


One company which distributes films is the company based in London called' Kaleidoscope Film Distribution'. The films which they have developed and delivered to a target audience include the hit 'Hooligan'. This film was showcasing the dizzy heights of football riots and hooligans at the heart of the troublemaking football age. This can be linked to our film in a way as we are showing what happened when youths rioted. This is a completely different topic but it showcasing the same genre of film. Also they have produced the award winning film ' Interview with a hitman'. This is slightly different to the film we have produced. This is because overall our film was about riots, while this is an action thriller starring a man who has a incentive to take control over civilization. This distribution company offer a wide range of genres in which films are labelled in, so documentary films are fairly welcome,this is handy as our film falls into this bracket.
