Choosing our media institution distributor

Whilst deciding the storyline of our film we were looking at similar films to get inspiration. We were also looking at who the media distributors were, to get an idea of who we would aim our film at. We knew that our film was going to be a horror and that we wanted to have a ghost like child therefore we looked at films also including these aspects.

Columbia Pictures

Columbia Pictures is an American film production and distribution company. It produces many high budget films, often being horror films such as, 30 Days of Night, The Messengers and The Grudge. The Grudge is the main reason why we would put it with Columbia Pictures because it has a similar story line of a supernatural little ghost girl murdering characters throughout the film. It is an uinrealistic escapist film which is similar to ours as it is about a supernatural spirit. I have chosen to put it under an American company because it is more like an american horror film rather than an english one. English films are commonly alternative and comical, whereas our film is aiming to scare and shock the audience.
