What kind of media institution might
distribute your media product and why?
There are many institutions that would have potential to
distribute my media product. Each distributor likely specifies in certain
genres of film or experiments with many to support diversification of film
types and audiences. I focused on distributors including: Blumhouse, Lionsgate
and Hammer Films. Each of these distributors are associated with horror films
in some aspects.
Blumhouse Productions
was founded by Jason Blum, it has produced multiple comedies, science fiction
films as well as several horror films. Although they do in fact specialise in
low budget films, Blumhouse has become well-known worldwide for the 2009 success
of Paranormal Activity.
Hammer Films is also known for multiple horror films,
however; they didn’t originally begin making horror movies. However, the
company had a 1955 success with The Quatemess Experiment, they went on to produce
many Gothic monster films. Some films distributed by this company include: The
Woman In Black, The Resident and Let Me In.
Also, Lionsgate are associated with horrors such as The Last
Exorcism, The Cabin in the Woods and Acts of Death. They do not however specify
in horror films as they also had an immense success with The Hunger Games.
