Evaluation task 3: Where might your media product be distributed and why?

Because our film is an 'Independent movie' it would have to be shown in a film festival to see if there are any contributors willing to buy the rights of our film.For most filmmakers a film festival showing is the closest they will ever come to having an audience for their films. For most serious independent filmmakers it is where they hope to find a buyer for their film. There are film festivals that are set on specific genres, so 'Bitter Youth' could be shown in an international genre film festival that focuses on thrillers e.g. Thriller Chiller Festival.
I don't think our film would make it to a big film festival because of our limited resources and budget that would make our film (if we were to finish it) amateur and not of a professional standard. So realistically, the film would be shown in festivals such as the Raindance Film Festival which is the best independant film festival in the UK or the London Film Festival. These festivals together with many more, show many of the hundred films that are produced by amateur directors and movie makers.


Also, our film could be screened in an independent cinema like The Electric Cinema in London, Portobello Road. It is beloved by London filmgoers because it offers not only mainstream feature films, but also art house films which suits the style of our psychological thriller. 
But even so, it might not even be screened in a cinema. It might be released straight onto DVD and sold for a cheap price because as I mentioned before we only had certain resources and only used certain programs that limited the professionalism of our film.
