Choosing our Media Institution distributor

Whilst producing our opening we looked at film openings simliar to ours and also looked at who they were distributed by. This gave us an idea of what media instituion we would aim to distribue our film. We wanted the films we looked at to include a young child, similar settings and  uses similar techniques.

We found three different films we thought matched around the same story line or use of charecters, used techniques we felt had an impact on the film and audience and matched our idea of a good horror film.

The Grudge;

Distributed by Columbia Pictures, it involves a little ghost like girl and also has the use of jump cuts which help create the ghost like affect.We took this idea and inbeaded it within our clip helping us create a good horror opening. The storyline consisted of a young ghost like girl commiting murders on the other main charecters in the film. This is what we have based our film on picking up techniques and effects to make our film opening as scary as possible.

Columbia Pictures have also distributed many other high budget sucsesful films such as: The messengers and 30 Days of Night, theese both hit the big screens making big money! We feel our film would fit in with Columbia pictures as it has a complex and unrealistic story line it also involves indepth editing and mainly focusing on horror and exciting and entertaining the audience.
As the company is an American company we feel this helps aim our film to entertain the audience and focus on the horror of the film as Traditional English horrors focus on comical aspects and are usually alternative. This is not what we were aiming for therefore felt an American company such as Columbia Pictures to distribute our film would benefit us.
