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

I was going to consider hammer horror to produce my film because they have been responsible for some of the biggest UK thriller/horror films made such as The Dracula franchise; The Frankenstein franchise; more recently The Woman In Black and Let Me In.

The reason I didn't choose to go with hammer is because their film's have fairly big budgets and my film didn't, also hammer have big stars appearing in their films such as Daniel Radcliffe in "The Women In Black" where as Working title focuses on new & upcoming talent on low budget productions so my film would be best suited to be produced by them.






Working Title have produced on a low budget but have been extremely successful such as Billy Elliott 4million & Hot Fuzz 8million



even by first glance at the graphics you can see the difference in budget; each of these films are massively successful films at reasonably low budgets


Billy Elliot" is the flip side of "Girlfight."While the recent American film is about a girl who wants to be a boxer and is opposed by her macho father but supported by her brother, the British film is about a boy who wants to be a ballet dancer but is opposed by his macho father and brother.

Both films feature supportive adults who encourage their dreams, both oppose rigid gender definitions, both end in a big fighter/dancer. "Girlfight" is tougher ;"Billy Elliot" sweeter.

The movie is very awkwardly edited together, and there are big shifts in character traits without much explanation, which shows the lack of budget for the film. The story would have a very niche audience because of the time it was set in, however the film has now become a major production and has been made into a successful musical on the west end.

Hot Fuzz is a 2007 British action crime comedy thriller film co-written by and starring Simon Pegg alongside Nick Frost who are hugely successful British actors, The film is one of 4 film they have both starred in as a duo or double act those being ... Shaun of the Dead, Paul, Worlds End and Hot Fuzz. This film follows two English police officers attempting to solve a series of mysterious deaths in a small English village. The film is a lot more thought about but isn't as success as Billy Elliot but they are still big films.

Both films have English heritage within them both telling stories within and about England which is quite common when you have and English production company funding the production.
