Evaluation question 3

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

Our production company, 'Offbeat Productions' is a british independant company, specialising in traditional genre's challenged in inovative and creative ways. We gain funding from large studios in exchange for selling our distribution rights, in order to reach a larger audience.

A popular superhero movie distributor is Universal Pictures, who have distributed movies such as Scott pilgrim vs. the world, which we looked at when researching the comic book style of editing. They have a strong global reach and this would benefit our media product by reaching as many of our possible target market as possible, due to our movie not being region exclusive. Warner Bros, which distributed films like Superman and the critically acclaimed Dark Knight, is another potential candidate.

Due to the mainstream nature of the superhero genre, I believe that the best venue to show our film at would be a popular cinema, such as Odeon or Cineworld. The Premiere would take place in Leicester Square, as the film would be made and set in the UK. We would attempt to create an atmosphere like the 'Kick-Ass' premiere.
