WHAT KIND OF MEDIA INSTITUTION MIGHT

DISTRIBUTE YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT AND WHY ?

ZARA

IS YOUR FILM A HIGH CONCEPT OR LOW CONCEPT

FILM?

I BELIEVE THAT MY THRILLER FILM IS A LOW CONCEPT FILM, MANY HIGH CONCEPT FILMS USUALLY HAVE A WIDER RANGE OF SHOTS AND ANGLES WHERE’S AS MY FILM LACKS THIS AS IT REMAINS IN A CERTAIN SHOT FOR MORE THEN A FEW SECONDS. ALSO, THE LOCATIONS THAT THEY ARE BASED IN. A HIGH CONCEPT FILM WOULD USUALLY HAVE MANY LOCATIONS THAT THE PROTAGONISTS WOULD VISIT AND WOULD HAVE THE TIME TO BE ABLE TO VISIT SUCH LOCATIONS WHEREAS OUR FILM HAS ONLY A LIMITED AMOUNT OF LOCATIONS THAT CAN SOMEHOW ALSO BE RECOGNISED EASILY.

HOW DOES WHETHER YOUR FILM IS HIGH OR LOW CONCEPT FILM RELATE TO THE DISTRIBUTOR YOU HAVE

CHOSEN?

A HIGH CONCEPT FILM WOULD HAVE RECOGNISABLE ACTORS THAT ARE INCLUDED, NOT ONLY THAT, HIGH CONCEPT FILMS ARE USUALLY RELEASED BY LARGE INSTITUTIONS WITH BIG DISTRIBUTORS (WARNER BROS.) WITHIN THE FILM INDUSTRY SO PEOPLE WOULD KNOW WHO THAT COMPANY IS WHO RELEASED IT, LOW CONCEPT FILMS HAVE INDIVIDUAL INSTITUTIONS THAT ADD THEIR MONEY TOGETHER TO HELP CREATE THE FILM.

WHAT ARE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF CHOOSING YOUR

DISTRIBUTOR TO DISTRIBUTE YOUR FILM THE ADVANTAGES TO HAVING A LOW CONCEPT FILM IS THAT IF IT WERE A HIGH CONCEPT FILM, AND IT DID NOT TURN OUT AS WELL AS IT THOUGHT IT WOULD HAVE, THEY COULD HAVE A CHANCE ON LOSING A MASS AMOUNT OF MONEY DUE TO THE FILM NOT REACHING THE MAIN BUDGET THEREFORE COULD LEAVING THEM BANKRUPT. ALSO, LOW CONCEPT FILMS ARE ABLE TO APPEAL MORE TO THEIR CHOSEN TARGET AUDIENCE BY HAVING SELECT RELEASES AND RELEASING THE FILM IN THE LOCATION THEY KNOW THAT WILL GET THEIR CHOSEN TARGET AUDIENCE. (IF THE FILM WAS MADE IN A CERTAIN COUNTRY, IT WOULD BE RELEASED THERE FIRST BEFORE IT BEING SHOWN ANYWHERE ELSE).

WHAT ARE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF CHOOSING YOUR

DISTRIBUTOR TO DISTRIBUTE YOUR FILM

ALTHOUGH THERE ARE DISADVANTAGES TO THIS, BECAUSE THE INSTITUTIONS THAT MADE THE FILMS ARE NOT AS KNOWN AS THE DISTRIBUTORS THAT HAVE MADE HIGH CONCEPT FILMS, IT MAY TAKE A WHILE TO TRY AND EARN BACK THE MONEY THAT THEY HAVE USED TO HELP PRODUCE THE FILM. ALSO, THE FILM CAN HAVE BARRIERS THAT COULD REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD WATCH THE FILM FOR INSTANCE IF THE FILM WAS MADE IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE, NOT MANY PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO READ SUBTITLES THEREFORE REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WANTING TO WATCH THE FILM.
