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

 The genre of our film is a horror aimed at teenagers aged fifteen and above but most commonly for boys due to the graphical horror involved within it but it can also be related to girls due to the love story which is intertwined within the film. The name that we gave to our film was 'never forgotten' due to the fact that our synopsis is about the killer being someone who was out casted by the social group because of a physical deformity. As a group, we chose Lionsgate as the distributor of our film. Lionsgate is a North American entertainment company and was formed in Vancouver,British Columbia, on July 3, 1997, and is headquartered in Santa Monica, California. It is the most commercially successful independent film and distribution company in North America.
We chose Lionsgate because they have distributed horror films such as the 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre', 'the descent' and 'saw' these horror films are generally targeted at over 18's but since our film is more 'user friendly' due to their being less gore it was decided that it would have a lower certificate and would be suitably allocated to people of fifteen years and above. We also chose Lionsgate as our company due to the fact that they are a well know distributor and they have distributed some very successful films over the past few years such as 'Saw' and 'The hunger games'.
Our production company is called 'simplistic pictures' as our plot is very straightforward and we only have the one killer so the very theme of our film is easy to work out. Also we thought that it would be appropriate because the message behind our film shortens too 'Dont treat others badly as it may come around and haunt you'.






The saw opening, quite dark and shown with low key lighting to create quite a dark atmosphere within the piece. The introducing logos also help to create a creepy feel towards the film as it uses barbed wire (which acts likes snakes) to crush the production logo. Lionsgate would also distribute out film as the elements of our film are dark and we have used low key lighting to create shadows within our opening.

Leather face from Texas chainsaw massacre, he has a similar background story to our character Frank Deavell. He was bullied at a young age because of a defect on his face, Lionsgate would distribute our film as both characters have similar background stories and both films create a certain  psychological realism from someone who has become homicidal.
