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


The genre of our film is horror and the target audience is people aged fifteen and above, male and female. We have titled our film 'Never Forgotten'. As a group, we chose Lionsgate as the distributor of our film. Lionsgate is a North American entertainment company and  was formed in Vancouver,British Columbia, on July 3, 1997, and is headquartered in Santa Monica, California. It is the most commercially successful independent film and distribution company in North America. 









We chose Lionsgate as they have distributed well known horrors such as 'Texas chainsaw massacre' 'The descent' and 'Saw' and have created a large number of films that have targeted people aged fifteen and above including 'The Hunger Games' and 'Disaster Movie'. Additionally, their films are very successful and that would be our aim. Lionsgate are a big distribution company which is another reason why we chose them, we want our film to be well known. Lionsgate spend alot of money on their advertising, spending $45 million to advertise Hunger Games, as they believe their films will be very popular. This is an additional reason for choosing them as a distributor, they are optimistic and believe strongly in their films. The recent horror films they have distributed are 'The legend of bloody Mary - 2008' and 'The final - 2010'.




 Our production company name is 'Simplistic pictures' We thought it was appropriate as our film only contains one killer which suggests simplicity. Additionally, the plot line reverts down to one simple thing, bullying. The story suggests if the group of teenagers hadn't pushed Frank or hadn't teased him that one time the situation of Frank wanting revenge wouldn't of had to happen.
