Cinema
Films shown at the cinema are films that will do well, a film that people will go to pay and see. And so, its mainly only the bigger film companies that put films on at the cinema, and so the
audience will expect it to be of high quality and to be worth the money they will pay to see it. As we are amatuer film makers, it probably would be best to not distribute our film. This is because it won't be the high quality of film that is mostly shown, sometimes low budget movies are shown at the cinema, but these are rare and are of the best quality without all the editing processes the big film companies use. Also, if it was shown at the cinema, it is likely that there are other films out too, ones that are the best quality and so people would be more likely to see the other films, as they will be better quality and value for money
DVD
Movies that are often put straight on DVD are of too low quality to be shown in the cinema. If
our film was to be distrubuted in this way, some people may be put off by the fact it wasn't g
ood enough to be shown at the cinema. Also
, people have to pay to buy a DVD, and evn though it will be significantly less than going to t
he cinema, this amy still put people off as they know it won't be too good quality.
TV
I think TV will be the best medai insitution to distribute our film. This is because a majority
of houses own a TV, and more and more households are owning more than one, so not only will many people have asscess to it, people are ready pay to
watch the TV and so they won't have to pay anymore, like they would at the cinema or DVD, to watch it. Even though there are so many TV and so many channels, a common statement made by people is 'Nothing is on'. This would help our film to be watched, as if there is nothing else the person or people want to watch, they are more likely to watch it. However, it is unlikely that big televison companies such as BBC, ITV and Sky will show the film, as it is not from a big company such as universal and Paramount, and so they won't show it as it won't be the quality they want, and may loss them viewers. One channel that would proably be willing to show it is Film4. This is because they often show movies from smaller and possibly unknown companies. With the amount of households with TVs, it is more likely that our film will be viewed by many people. Also, the fact it deal with a very real issue, Cyberbullying, but in an over exaggerated story which would rarely ever happen, it may cause victims of cyberbullying to come for ward. This may be because
the idea of the bullying actually leading to real death, may scare them into talking to someone about it. Even though they were scared to do so, the fact they told someone will help the situation to stop, before it goes any further. Often, some TV dramas deal with real issues, such as
Eastenders, in order to try and get people to talk about their situation and to stop it getting worse. So, it is a very common thing to deal with real issues in films and TV shows, in order to get real people to talk about the similar issues they are in, and with the amount of people that may see the movie, we may not only get our film seen, but help people to realise that they should talk about these things before they become out of hand.
