AH: Question 3

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

• The overall budget for our film if we were to fully produce it would be a relatively low £50’000. This figure has been made by estimating tax bills, location permits and all the other costs involved in the production of a film. One way we planned on reducing costs would be by employing amateur actors who would be willing to be paid very little in order for them to get their names out there, also the film on their CV.
• The cost of make-up and costume would be minimal as we wouldn’t be employing make-up artists and costume designers. The audience we will be targeting our film could vary, for instance if our film ends up being as good as we believe it could be we may get high levels of investment. This would allow us to do much more with our film in terms of production then will before have not been possible (due to a small budget). However this is very unlikely as it is our debut production.
• The equipment would be the most expensive part of our production and take up the majority of our provisional budget. As we firmly believe the actual screen quality of the film will be the unique selling point (U.S.P) of our production.
• The cinemas we plan to release ‘Inside’ in would be predominantly ‘art-house cinemas’ and cinemas specialised in playing amateur productions.
• The two companies we would ideally like to work in coalition with are; Dogwoof Distribution Company who are based in the UK are acclaimed distributors of independent films. Then secondly the Production Company, Island Pictures who are specialised in the production of TV shows and Films. They are known to be great in every aspect of production and are locally based in London. If we didn’t acquire the services of these two companies then we would apply to film festivals across Europe in the hope of being accepted and selling the rights to distribute our film.
