2. What Kind of media institution might distribute your
film and why?
Our film, “One by One” is a low budget independent British thriller film.
For this reason, we chose to have our distributors as companies who
are either very interested in Independent British films or are more well
known for there distribution and production of horror films. A distributor
is company who handles the distribution of a theatrical release in a
particular country and also manages the various marketing techniques
that a film may need. We wanted to have two film production companies
that would also be appealing to our target audience and be well known
for making good quality films.
3. We decided that one of our main distributors should be Film4. This company
is very well known in Britain for the amount of support it gives low budget
films to a wider audience. The company itself distributes a wide variety of
genre of films including horrors. Some of these films are the well know
“Horns” and “Babadook”.

4. • The other production company we wanted to be our distributor is the
American company; Blumhouse productions. The studios themselves
specialise in the production of horror films across the world. My group
and I thought that this would not only give our film a good platform, but
would also help with its overall appeal. Having a company that is
synonymous with modern horror classics such as “Paranormal Activity”
and “Sinister” would give our film a strong brand recognition and entice
people into watching it.
