Question 3

3: What Kind of Media Institution Might Distribute Your Media Product and Why?

An institution is a company that disperses a media product for audience consumption.
A film would go to cinemas either nationally or internationally. however after being at the cinema for a while it would then get dispersed shops to sell merchandise either DVD or soundtrack etc.
Before making the film, the directors or producers can go to a institution to pitch their idea for the film and could also ask if the institution would fund the project.
After looking in depth at 'The Possession, The Devil Inside and  The Unborn' i discovered what institutions distributed them.
The popular Institutions include:
Film Four
Paramount Pictures
Rogue Pictures
As these are such popular institutions i decided to research further about them. i did this to find out if they would be suitable to ask if they would back my film opening.
The most suitable that i would love to go with would be film 4.
film four showcases a wide range of british made films and international films that comes from all over the world. they dont just show films they also produce many films too. film four partnered with Warp X Films where they challenge british and international films, creating new ones for a lower budget, with the intention of expanding the niche audience.
For my film i would consider aproaching all of these institutions, so that my budget issues would be covered. these institutions are well known throughout the UK, i would hope that my film would attract the interest of many UK film audience members and help to widen the niche group of a social horror film
