Who would show our documentary? SS

 
We have a couple of channels in mind who can show our documentary:

- Channel 4. This channel shows institutional documentaries such as "The Secret Millionaire", and "My Dream Farm". These are good examples of similar product research because the first documentary follows one man, like ours. The second example is about farming life.Ours is similar to this one because it is set in the country.




- Sky 1. This channel shows such documentaries as "Inside Gatwick", which follows CEO Stewart Wingate, baggage handlers and travelers as Gatwick Airport is transformed into a more modern facility. "Emergency with Angela Griffin" is another show that is similar to ours in the way that it follows one person, in a specific institution.



- ITV3. This channel has more of our kind of shows. For example, Heartbeat is set in the countryside. This show also has the same audience criteria as our documentary, too.









In terms of distribution, there are a few companies that we have in mind. One of these are "Blast Films". They distribute a documentary called "Squirrel Wars - Red vs Grey". This documentary follows a man who is set on destroying the Grey Squirrel population in England. This is a good one to use of our documentary because it also follows one man. He shoots animals, but not for the same purpose that the man in the other documentary does.

  1. Some good ideas, you need to refer to 'institutions' here and be specific about production/ distribution practises that would suit your documentary.

  2. I made the changes to this. It is the the last paragraph about distribution.
