When I was deconstructing other film openings I researched the distributors of each film. I found out that 'The Woman in Black' was distributed by an independent distributor in the U.K. called 'Momentum Pictures'.
As our film would have a small budget an independent distributor would be the appropriate media institution to distribute our film. An independent film distributor often works in conjunction with other distributors in order for the film to be viewed worldwide. For example, 'Momentum Pictures' distributed 'The Woman in Black' in the U.K. only but 'CBS Films' distributed in the U.S. Independent film distributors are also frequently owned by larger companies that have many divisions. When distributors work together it means that costs can be reduced. This is good because it allows smaller budget films to be distributed and seen across the world.
Our film may also be available on online sites such as Netflix or Amazon instant video. This is because the small budget would mean limited money for distribution and sites like these are cheaper for both us as the Film company and the audience. This means a wider range of people are likely to watch the film as they don't have to spend as much money as they would if they went to the cinema. This kind of distribution would also mean that younger audiences, such as 15-18 year olds are more likely to watch our film, as it is easy to access. This is good because our film is aimed at this age range.
