TASK 3, What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?


I would choose Vertigo to make and produce my film.  The main reason for this is because they support low budget films that promote raw talent often employing first time directors. Nick Love, a joint owner at Vertigo alongside producers James Richardson and Allan Niblo (who co-founded the outfit in 2002) and distribution head Rupert Preston, says the company ethos is simple: Keep budgets at the right level.
My film is a horror that would especially appeal to teenagers as they will most be able to associate with and recognise many of the underlying phenomena in the film.  The film would be targeting teenagers and marketed over the Internet extensively using many free sites such as Facebook and Twitter. 
A film produced by HBO called Elephant made in 2003 by the particular alternative and artistic director Gus van sant upholds our essential plot of a high school shooting which co-incidentally reflects similar themes of adolescent frustration with society.   Although HBO films fund their movies with a fundamentally higher budget thatnVertigo, they are prone to produce obscure plots.  An example would be Last Days which strangely possesses no dialogue and narration.   It is easily assumed that the films produced like the Last Days  would not be very successful in terms of “bums on seats”, however an audience was found and the film proved a viable business proposition due to the gross revenue of $2 456454.
