What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

 

A production company would assist with almost every aspect of producing my film from scripting and casting to providing money and editing. They would be responsible for finding the quality actors and buying and making props and features for the set, however they would also be responsible for anything that goes wrong such as injuries to actors or filming crew. A distribution company is what it says on the tin. They would be responsible for deciding where and when my film will be shown. They will send out copies of the film to cinemas.

 

I feel that film4 would be the sort of Film Company who could distribute my film. As my film is set in Britain and may have many colloquial mannerisms and phrases that are recognised predominantly by British people. Also film 4 has produced similar products to mine already.

 

Film4 are a British company based in London, they do not produce too many films every year but the films they do make are usually based and set in Britain.  As they are part of the Channel 4 group they do have a fairly wide audience in Britain but not worldwide. This would be alright for my thriller film as it is aimed at a predominantly British audience. Although the storyline is very different to my thriller a film such as Attack the Block has a similar British feel to it and often the characters use phrases that can be seen to be British. Also the setting for Attack the Block, an urban/suburban setting, is similar to some of the settings in my thriller.
