1. Question 3: What kind of media
institution might distribute your
media product and why?
Emma Tovey
2. We used Candi Studios as our production and distribution company for our
thriller. They are an independent company which means they work with low
budget films.
Some other independent companies that produce low budget films include:
•Rooks Nest Entertainment
•Wild Horses Film Company
•The Edison Trust
•Gateway Films
3. Larger Production and Distribution Companies:
If we were a high budget film we would have chosen a well known and major
production and distribution company such as;
•Warner Brothers
•DreamWorks Animation
•20th Century Fox
•Paramount Pictures
•Walt Disney Studios
4. Some examples of higher budget films and their production/distribution companies:
Skyfall (2012)
Production Companies:
•Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
•Eon Productions
Distribution Companies:
•Columbia Pictures
•Sony Pictures
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Production Companies:
•Warner Bros
•DC Entertainment
Distribution Company:
Warner Bros
5. Candi Studios would be an appropriate company to choose because they would
be experienced in working with low budget films and would know how to
advertise the film.
Using an independent company also affects the cast of our thriller, well known
and famous actors would not feature in our film.
The effect that our budget has on exhibition means that it would only be released
in a limited amount on cinemas, they are likely to be local, independent cinemas.
6. As Candi Studios are our production and
distribution company, they would be in
charge of the advertisement of our
thriller.
Being on a lower budget means that
billboards and television advertisements
would not be affordable. Instead, social
networking sites are the focus of our
advertisement campaign.
7. I made a Facebook and Twitter
account for ‘Young Eyes’ to help
promote the film.
Using social networking sites to
advertise our film is appropriate
for our target audience as most 16-
25 year olds use these sites.
8. Some examples of low budget films and their production/distribution companies:
My Brother the Devil (2012)
Production Companies:
•Rooks Nest Entertainment
•Wild Horses Film Company
Distribution Company:
Verve Pictures
Anuvahood (2011)

Gateway Films

Revolver Entertainment
