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

The horror film genre is very popular in the world of cinema and television. There is a whole channel dedicated to horror films 'Sky movies sci-fi/horror' which show films like 'The Fourth Kind' 'Paranormal Activity' 'Jennifers Body' and 'Drag Me to Hell'.

Film four has a wide variety of films from children's cartoon films to horror. Some of the horror films that it has shown recently are 'Saw' and 'The Ring'. these films all show conventions of horror films with blood, dark setting and murder. horror films like these would have to been shown in the late evening so that children can not view them.

Our local odeon in Guildford does show many of the new releases when it comes to the horror genre it is currently showing 'Paranormal activity 2'. This odeon shows many of the horror films when they come out because they are very popular because people enjoy the adrenalin rush the fear of the film gives them.

There are film festivals all over the world for example in Los Angeles, New york, Cannes and London and many more places. In London there is a film festival called FrightFest which is an annual film festival held in central London over the August Bank Holiday weekend. The primary focus of FrightFest is horror genre. I think my film would be shown here because it is a low budget film that would fit in with this festival very well.

I think if our film was to be shown anywhere it would be shown at a film festival like Frightfest becuase it is a film festival dedicated to the horror genre. I think that a cinema would not show our film because it's to much of a low budget film. It would also not be showed on film four because it is a small film.
