Evaluation question 3: What kind of media institute would distribute your film and why?
Our film would be a small budget British film, so obviously a big american company like Warner Bros or Universal Studios would not distribute it. Because of this I decided to look at some of the British production companies to see what they made and if our film would fit in with some of their previous films.

Big Talk Productions-

Located in London and established in 1995, Big Talk Productions is best known for its films Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead. It is also known for British sitcoms Spaced and Free Agents. Through this company Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey have risen to stardom. This company would be ideal for our film after making Shaun of the Dead, even though this is a comedy film it is a classic zombie film and we looked at this throughout our research process. Big Talk put a lot of faith in this film and it had a budget of five million pounds, the faith paid of however and it made thirty million at the box office. They also distributed the film Attack the Block, this is another film that uses a mixture of comedy and horror. Similarly it uses special effects to create the aliens in the film, we would be able to use these techniques in our film when creating the zombies. As you can see from the trailer, it is an all British cast which is the same as what our film would be. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3tOFejxPH0

DNA Films-

Formed in 1992, DNA films is one of the most successful British film companies. Probably best know for 28 Days Later, DNA would be perfect for our film as the two would be quite similar  However they do not just make small budget films one of their latest projects Dredd had a budget of forty five million. Because of 28 Days Later this company would have experience in the making of zombie films and could be a good choice for our film.

HEYDAY Films-

Heyday films was formed in 1997 and is another London based company. Distributors of the Harry Potter series they were also involved in I am Legend. This means that they are no strangers to special effects and would be very experienced in making high budget franchises. I am Legend is another of the films we researched and our film has some similarities with it. Because they have worked on such big franchises they would be able to get our film into a lot of high end cinema chains and they still work on small budget films so they would still have an interest even though we don't have the budget of some of their other films.  

Vertigo Films-

Vertigo Films has worked with such actors as Tom Hardy, Danny Dyer and Tamer Hassan. Best know for its rough and ready British films like The Football Factory, The Business and Bronson Vertigo Films specializes in small budget British pictures. Here is a classic example of one of their films http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvQqETLU2eU As you can see there is a lot of big groups that go into mass brawls, we could use this sort of experience when creating the hordes of zombies that would be needed in the film. Vertigo also put faith in young directors such as Nick Love this means they would trust in our group even though we lack experience. 

Warp Films-

Warp Films are another company that have a lot of experience in low budget British films that use a lot of
violence. This is England, Dead Mans Shoes and Donkey Punch all use an all British cast and all of the films include a lot of violent aspects. However they don't just concentrate on the violence they also have a strong morale story. This is England has won numerous awards for its story, and because of this I feel Warp Films would be interested in our film because of the strong story line. 

After researching these companies I feel that Big Talk would be the best company for us, as they are interested in small budget films and put faith in unknown actors. Also they have a lot of experience in the horror and zombie film genre this would help us out a lot when we are making the film itself.
