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

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

Our production company name is 'howl' and the logo can be seen on the right. The name howl was thought of as we wanted to be a fairly big horror film distributor to make our film and so we sprouted off of ideas based around typical horror themes. One of those horror themes was a typical fairly cloudy night, full moon is out and what noises do you hear, a wolf of course and so making that our name it instantly puts across a tense implementation rather than a Disney animation. When our production company logo would appear on screen it has the howl of a wolf which is quite threatening and sets the scene, we also added in an overlay of smoke particles on after effects to make it spooky and chilling. It also adds depth and makes it dynamic thus more professional.  
A film distributor is an organisation holds the theatrical release of a film in a particular country as well as the marketing/ distribution of films for entertainment purposes. We chose Blumhouse studios as our distribution company as they have a particularly good reputation for horror/ thriller genres and therefore recognisable by audiences once again setting an immediate tone of fear and an eerie atmosphere, rather than seeing 'Bulldog film distributors' who specialise in the comedy film genre and so you might be more relaxed thinking about a cheesy indie film. For our film I would have said that the money would have been best come from BFI film fund, as it allows for a bigger array of available viewers as it would come from the National Lottery which would allow it to go global.
When editing our sequence we had to make room for titles to be added in and these titles had to go in a specific order.  Some of the titles included major jobs such as; music, actors, editor and director to name a few. We did some research and planning as to where and which order to have the titles as in order for it to look professional it is often minor key details. Our film would fit in with other creations as it would be distributed in a Big Multiplex Cinema, hopefully have a red Carpet event! But more realistically on the scale of Memento, The Thing and martyrs.
Our film would be in Cinemas so that a range of people could watch it and making it more likely for people to watch as it is convenient and accessible. This would attract more than just our target audience as word of mouth from friends often has a major influence on someones film choice. Then would come the hard back DVD copies and Blu-Ray which are still very popular to this day even with digital distribution they are also fairly cheap to make and generate lots of money. 
The certificate I would give our opening through the BBFC would probably be a 12A as even though the intentions and build up is there, in the opening there is no real violence or crude occurrences in our opening apart from recognisable objects that merely link to danger such as lighters, drugs and alcohol along with blood however there is no on screen fighting making it more child friendly.
