Evaluation question 3








Q3) what kind of media institution might describe your media product and why?

Filmmaking (often referred to in an academic context as film production) is the process of making a film, from an initial story, idea, or commission, through scriptwriting, casting, shooting, directing, editing, and screening the finished product before an audience that may result in a theatrical release or television program. Filmmaking takes place all over the planet in a huge range of economic, social, and political contexts, and using a variety of technologies and cinematic techniques



Here's the path films are distributed:
Firstly a director has an idea for a movie and research the target audience that this film will refer to. Then They create an outline of the idea and use it to promote interest in the idea so in other terms they decide the target audience that this idea of the film will refer to and try to advetise to gain attraction from them.This will lead to a distribution marketing while you are tying to promote your film by creating posters and trailers ect. After a studio or independent investor decides to purchase rights to the film. People are brought together to make the film (screenwriter, producer, director, cast, crew). Which will to the film to be completed and sent to the studio. The studio makes a licensing agreement with a distribution company. The distribution company determines how many copies of the film to make. The distribution company shows the movie to prospective buyers representing the theaters. The buyers negotiate with the distribution company on which movies they wish to lease and the terms of the lease agreement. The prints are sent to the theaters a few days before the opening day.
The theater shows the movie for a specified number of weeks this is where they have an agreement of this procedure. This will allow you to purchase a ticket to watch the film on full screen.At the end of the engagement, the theater sends the print back to the distribution company and makes payment on the lease agreement.

What low budget films would you consider and why?
The three distributing film that I will consider for my film to fist supported at will be:

Celebrity home entertainment







Celebrity home entertainment is one of the distributors its a boutique distribution house headquartered in Los Angeles, California on the "Miracle Mile" between Beverly Hills and Hollywood, as for today it is known as a family-owned business, a new team of energetic executives poised to make Celebrity a leader in independent-only film distribution, worldwide.
The reason why I have chosen this company is because they Expand within the digital market which they passionately champion films through all avenues, distributing via Video-on-Demand, Television, and even DVD and Theatrical for the right titles. Their territory is both domestic and foreign. They have reach anywhere and everywhere, and are constantly looking for content creators and buyers to grow with.This website also conclude of the main customers that actually supports with this company such as Apple,amazon,family video,redbox and much more exclusive companies. So therefore this company has the support and the allowance to send any films that you have produced and will try and promote the film in its high standards

The asylum




Another film disruptor that I will also consider is The Asylum which is an American film studio and distributor which focuses on producing low-budget, usually direct-to-video productions. The studio has produced titles that capitalize on productions by major studios; these titles have been dubbed "mock busters" by the press. The reason why I have chosen this is because The Asylum is the most prolific mini studio in Hollywood, producing 10-15 films a year, and releasing over 300 films since launching in 1997.The content of this company allows you to share any videos from any category for the web and will also promote the film.

Next wave film




Finally the last website that io also consider of making my film to be distributed is Next wave film which ius a company in which they started in 1997 to provide support to new filmmakers making ultra-low budget English-language features around the world. The reason why I have chosen this company is because Films are submitted to them after they have been shot and there is a rough cut. In addition to finishing funds, they provide assistance during post-production, and then help filmmakers implement festival and press strategies, secure domestic and international distribution, and find financing for subsequent features.

Why not YouTube?




Finally I also want to conclude why I wouldn’t consider publishing my film on YouTube. The reason of this is because YouTube is a free website where you can post videos but to gain as many views will take a lot of time and its really hard to accomplish. As I have an account for my own and producing videos relating to the category of games and music its very hard and mostly know to the web so therefore you have to try and subscribe and send messages to every to check out the video you have produced which is very unnecessarily o therefore going to other disruptor website relating to low budget film disruptors’ they will allow you to send the film you have produced and promote your film to gain as many viewers in the whole global.
