Evaluation Question 3: what kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Our film would be distributed by British institutions and preferably ones which have produced/distributed low-budget British Indie films in the past.

Production Company:

We chose Stealth Films Ltd. to produce our film because they are a London based company and have experience in producing low-budget British Indie dramas.

Based on Kidulthood's budget, we believe our film will need roughly the same budget to be produced - £600,000. This will cover not only equipment and props etc. but also our cast and crew's wages.
Kidulthood was filmed in a month roughly, from November 14th 2004-December 16th 2004 so filming in a shorter space of time will also decrease filming/production costs.

Distribution Company:

We chose StudioCanal UK to distribute ur film as they have experience in producing British Indie films and are based in London. They are also one of the top distributors in the UK making them a respectable and reliable choice.

The budget for Comedown (2012) is 2 million, a lot higher than what we would like to spend on our film. However, Studio Canal have lots of experience in distributing British Indie films of a range of budgets, such as Broken (2012)- a British Indie drama.

Marketing our film:



After releasing our trailer and other marketing strategies, we will release our film to cinemas. These cinemas will include the big mainstream brands such as Odeon and Vue, but also the smaller cinemas such as the Art House who specialise in indie small budget films. As our film is made on a low budget, we would screen Adolescents for 4 weeks which is the same limited distribution period as Kidulthood. We would also like to release a DVD for our film. This way we can reach a wide audience of cinema and non-cinema goers.
