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

"Judgement Of The People" is a low budget British film which would most likely start of by being shown at a film festival such as "Raindance" which is actual promotes independent films in the UK.If our film got bigger, more popular and had more money it could possible be show at such places like the odeon or film four. IT could also go global and go to places such as America where they have a great variety for young film makers.


"Raindance" was founded in 1992 by filmmakers, for filmmakers.In 1993 the "Raindance" Film Festival began. "Raindance" is dedicated to fostering and promoting independent film in the UK and around the world. Based in the heart of London Raindance combines "Raindance" Film Festival, Training Courses, the prestigious British Independent Film Awards.and "Raindance" TV. I believe that this film festival would be perfect for the showing of our film when first released, it would give it a good chance for people to see our work.


Our film was based on two of the modern day films that most teenagers and young adults would have heard of "28 Days Later"and "The Twilight Saga" which at this moment in time have made 3 films and are currently working on there forth. Both of theses movies inspired us, we took the idea of using the same genre as "28 Days Later" and our story line is along the same line but we also used the theme of vampires as "The Twilight Saga" have done and have proven that it is very popular, so we thought it would be a good idea to put these ideas together and make a film.Our film would appeal to a mass market at this time.

I have done some research into my chosen genre horror/thriller and there are many films on at the odeon that are already out and currently waiting to be released.Odeon cinemas was created in 1928 by Oscar Deutsch. It has been claimed that the name of the cinemas was taken from a motto he had "Oscar Deutsch Entertains Our Nation. The fact that there are several horror/thrillers coming out now indicates that our film genre is very popular high in demand, and will be watched. This means that our film would fit in nicely and would be a big hit from the audience.

There is also a film festival called "Sundance" it is a film festival that takes place annually in the state of Utah in the United States. It is the largest independent cinema festival in the United States. Held in January in Park City, Salt Lake City and Ogden, as well as the Sundance Resort, the festival is the premier showcase for new work for independent filmmakers. This would also be another place were our film could be shown, it is a great way for young film makers like myself to get there film out to an audience and get some good feedback. The only problem with the "Sundance" festival is that it is in America, so in my circumstance i think the the "Raindance" festival would be a better choice but if it did go global America would be the best place to get our film up and running.

DNA is also a British film company that produced "28 Days Later", one of the films we decided to base our film on. This would also be a great company for our film if we got it bigger enough to help produce, develop and finalise our film.
