Question 3 What kind of Institution might distributed your media product and why?

An independent company would distribute our film because it wouldn't cost as much to distribute the film but also because if this film is a fail in the box office it would not affect the independent company that much as it would not cost that much in the first place. but with bigger named films if they fail they would affect the independent company a lot and could cause the company to go bankrupt.



This is an example of a company that would likely distribute our film

But on the other hand major companies like Disney, paramount or universal if a big budget film failed at the box office it wouldn't affect the company that much as they have made so much money from the other movies they have produced. The reason why major companies would not distribute our film is because they wouldn't see much of a profit in the film.

However television wise I think Film 4 would distribute our film because film 4 show many popular movies like iron man but also many small movies like Dreams of a life. Also film 4 often help young inspiring directors by giving them a budget and dead line to make a movie these budgets aren't huge like the budget for Iron man or Avatar. Some of the minor films are made very quickly like Shifty was made in 18 days. This is why I think film 4 would distribute our film because film 4 support minor films   and distribute them which makes them more popular.

To get an audience for our film we could release different types of trailers on youtube for the different age groups like for the younger generation release an action packed trailer with lots of different shots and the tension building at the end of the trailer so they will want to go and watch it. But for older people have a trailer showing a bit more of what the story is about but also build the tension up slowly so by the end of the trailer they would want to go and watch this film. However the people who made shifty decided to get an audience for shifty they were going to use other ways. They sent an email to people as if they were characters from the film with a link to a website which took them to the shifty website. They also gave out  business cards with a website link at the bottom that took the person to the shifty website.
