The Preliminary Task

Evaluation Q3

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

Ripple productions make low budget films that are highly modern, edgy, sharply cut and recognisable in their striking unique style. We would be best off looking at a small UK based company to distribute our film such as ‘Dogwoof’ which is known for backing small independent films, perfect! Through them we could arrange a screening of our opening sequence in a small independent cinema; the nearest one to our area is the Phoenix in East Finchley. We feel this would be good as our film breaks many conventions and therefore we feel it is less mainstream (so wouldn’t be shown at the major chains such as Odeon, Vue and Cineworld) but would be more likely to acquire a cult status. As students are our main audience we would ensure student discounts to encourage more to come and see our film.

However even lower budget, independent film can have major worldwide success. Just look at ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ (Danny Boyle 2009). It was initially just screened at a small film festival called Telluride, but has since found nationwide success being nominated for and winning countless awards!
