What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and

why?

QUESTION THREE

Our film could be easily distributed by a Hollywood studio, we are being backed by Warner Brothers Pictures who have quite a creditable reputation of distributing big Hollywood films. Our film is similar to a a few existing products, for example the “Disappearance of Alice Creed”. We used “Alice Creed” as the corner stone of our interrogation scene; the carful planning and lay out of tools- also the bonded suspect is a hint at Alice Creed herself, the sack is used to signify this. Even though this will be distributed by a major Hollywood studio we did conceder having this film as an art house film.

We would of explored the layers of alcoholism and abuse within our flawed protagonist and but given it a smaller audience. So instead we came to a compromise- we would challenge mainstream cinema goers with art-house sensibility's.

COULD IT WORK WITH HOLLYWOOD?

As the internet would be the main bulk of our advertising- e.g. Twitter and

Facebook it would make sense to release it as an internet release only. This would

save on distribution and storage costs but would not create as much income in order

to finance a possible sequel. The opportunities for a franchise would seem like the more logical option with such a well known distributor such as Warner

Brothers; however as we wish to keep to classic noir themes such as pessimism and dark sensibilities it wouldn’t really suit. We may be selling the poster but

that’s as far as we would go with selling off parts of merchandise.

THE INTERNET

As with classic noir we have tried to keep with dark sets, long shadows and labrythian alley ways. These settings are

not much found in modern mainstream films. This use of mise on scene entice viewers and make them more

interested in a wider scope of cinema- the newspaper scene at the end reflects those classic news walls held up with

past, these images are often found in classic and neo-noir. The long silhouettes on the walls are difficult to shoot but

worth it, they show the characters chasing but with no indication of what they look like, this mystery will become

useful later in the film as our protagonist (Nicholas Malgrum)
