Evaluation Task 3 : What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?



There is an institution that is called Vertigo  and they are based on low budget projects but they are aiming for a Hollywood standard and try to make their movies look as well made as for example Warner Brothers. They try to get the best actors they can afford with their budget and they try to make the best special effects they can do by doing everything themselves. If you look at ‘Monsters’ made by Gareth Edwards, who did everything on his own; script writing, directing and edition, you cannot see that this is a low budget production. The film was done with pretty much nothing, but the final result looked almost like a Hollywood production. Vertigo films are aiming for a high concept with a low budget. I think that out first sequence that we shot would be aiming in the same direction. We do not need a very high budget to make our film look seeable and effective. Also we do not need many special effects or expensive props or stands. The things that we would need to make our film are very simple and cheap. But never the less we are aiming for an international audience and want to make our film looks as good as Hollywood standard. Our institution would be therefore Vertigo Films.    
Our film product is a not a Hollywood production and we do not need a lot of money to realize our film. Therefore it is a low budget production with a high concept. All we basically need are a couple of actors and empty streets or places which are easy to find, so we do need to spend lots of money in creating a whole studio city.  Also we are not dependent on famous and well-known actors.  But because we do not need a lot of special equipment our film does not have to look like a low budget production. The modern technology made it possible to make simple places look scary (or whatever).   We have a high concept with low budget.
