Why Would "Metrodome" Produce Our Film

The company/institution that would produce our film would have to be Metrodome. Not only would they help produce it but they would also help distribute it. Metrodome is a company originated and located in London and they help manage and distribute films. They have a  scheme called "The Microwave Scheme" in which helps films made in the UK to get big by giving them a small boost on the budget of £100,000 as well as 18 days to make the film.

Metrodome has released quite a few thrillers overall. Thriller is a very big category full of subgenres within it. It is possible to relate some films by this company to ours' such as "The Riddle" a film that follows the concept of murder just like "Sisters" (our thriller idea). Difference is that ours' follows the concept of murder in the aim to get revenge meanwhile "The Riddle" follows the same concept but aiming towards mystery solving.

"Metrodome" goes about making low-budget films, mainly for the fact that it is a company that it gives a little bit of a boost to some unpopular films to be recognized. With not very popular actors. It is a company that gives a window of opportunity to becoming famous.

"Metrodome" films are generally always shown in art-house cinema, since the company itself is an art-house institution. Therefore my group's thriller would be shown in an art-house cinema. The independent distributor company not only releases movies in DVDs, but also in Blu-rays. This would already be one of the ways in which the film would profit. Metrodome has recently made electronic commerce services. They aimed to develop new sites every quarter for their e-commerce which turned out to be quite successful. During a period of six months after the company started with the electronic commercialization of their films they profited 1£ million only on their e-commerce arm. It seems to have been quite successful and it is a good reason to say that I would place my film in their E-commerce system.

The institution doesn't focus on a particular film genre, it has various different categories of film within them, varying from comedies to thrillers. However, the institution does overall make low-budget films due to the fact that the company's aim is to distribute and contribute in the development of a film via the microwave scheme. So it is aimed for unpopular films, actors and directors as a window of opportunity to becoming bigger in the industry.

As I said before, "Metrodome" films do tend to vary a lot in terms of genre. Creating a vast number of categories in which the audience may pick from. Therefore it is fair to say that the company does not have a specific target audience, thus their films are generally made for any type of audience. (girls, boys, adults, men, women,...)
