Evaluation Question 3

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


What is the distributor's role?


A distributor is an intermediary entity between a the producer of a product and another entity in the distribution channel or supply chain, such as a retailer, a value-added reseller  or a system integrator . The distributor performs some of the same functions that a wholesaler does but generally takes a more active role. At a minimum, distributors handle payment and procurement but, unlike wholesalers, their roles can be much more complex. For example, vendors that lack the means to build out a channel program by themselves often outsource that work to distributors. Distributors also frequently take a more proactive approach in educating resellers about new products, through such activities as presales training, road shows, and demo's on behalf of vendors. Distributors may provide services around the procurement process, such as contract negotiation, marketing for resellers and SIs, and warrantees. Increasingly, distributors also host network operations centre's . Although the specific entities and order involved can vary, the supply chain or distribution channel involving a distributor is generally: vendor to distributor, distributor to reseller or SI, reseller or SI to end customer.









I would say its similar to 'The Sixth Sense'. This is because both open with a scene to create tension and it all builds up to the end of the opening war something is reviled/happens what sets up the rest of the film. They both also make you think about what's happening and they create questions. There is a few differences though, in 'The Sixth Sense' they have a lot of dialog what gives away information to the audience whereas our thriller opening has none, this was the plan for us because we wanted to give away as little as possible to create more mystery around the plot.


Would your film be likely to be produced and distributed by one of the major US studios?
I think that's our idea and what we are trying to achieve is good enough for they to produce and distribute it. I think that its a film what people would want to see because I keeps making them question , and if we are able o make the plot interesting then its could be a success. I think its would need to be changed though if it did happen because there's a lot of improvements to make . I think it wouldn't really be a independent film because I don't think it would work as one. I think its wouldn't be as good if it was one . i think it would be a film that people would watch if it was on tv , but if it was online then hey wouldn't pick it. there's a lot of films im not in the mood to watch but if its on the tv i find myself watching all of it and i think that's the type of film our would be. i think out thriller would first be in cinemas but then released on dvd and then tv and maybe online.

It think depending on what type of film it is, i think that its wouldn't have a premier if it is a independent but if its a normal film then yes it will. i think we will have a viral campaign and try to get the word out through social media because our target audience is normally always on social media and its where they find out everything. i dont think we will have a website because i dont think it is necessary ,i believe that not many people will go on it so there is no point wasting time on a website hat people might just go on to either see when the films out or the trailer , but that sort of thing can just bee on social media. i think another good idea having posters but have them on the side of websites so a lot more people will see it, and last but properly the best way to get people to watch the film is that trailer and i think have the trailer everywhere as in on youtube and in cinemas and on tv is the best way because it gives people a idea of what the film is and gets them excited. i think that it will be screened at as main cinemas as possible , mainly the ones in populated areas like central london and west-fields.
