What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
1.
2. Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. is an American producer of film, television and music entertainment. It
was founded in April 4, 1923. It is one of the major film studios. It is a subsidiary of Time Werner.
Our film could be distributed by them because they have a good history of producing good successful
comedy films like the Project X and The hangover. More importantly they have produced the films that
have given me the most the inspiration during the production of our film opening. Also, The Hangover film
was very successful under their production as they produced a sequel and trilogy; this is an important
factor as this shows that they have been very successful when deciding on what films to produce as it has
become one of the biggest franchises in the movie industry after the impressive profits.
This production company is very successful in the television industry which shows that they are very
versatile and will be able to develop our film across two different platforms which will multiply the success
of the film. The distribution of our film in America will be vital because there is a lot of money involved in
the country due to their sheer size and if the film is popular there will be more people to see it.
3. Film4 Productions is a British film production company owned by Channel Four Television
Corporation.
This production company could distribute our film because the film is a British teen comedy
and this company has a good reputation in producing good British comedies. For example,
The Inbetweeners Movie, Four Lions and Attack the Block. The distribution of the film in
Britain will be very important because we use traditional British values throughout our film
which will be appreciated by the nation and it can become a classic. Also, even after cinema
release this production can make sure our film stays relevant as they have access to some of
Britain’s most popular channels like Channel 4 and Film 4 that show network premiers. This
company have responsible for backing a large amount of films produced in the UK.
4. Warp Films is an independent film production company based in
Sheffield & London with further affiliated companies in Melbourne,
Australia.
Warp Films have a great success when it comes to producing films and
Television shows for the viewers in Britain. This is evident as they have
produced films like This Is England and co-produced Four Lions. These
films have been very successful in Britain and are considered as British
classics as they challenge British values and controversial issues like
racism.
5. The Box office figures show that Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.
are a very successful film institution which will be good to
distribute our film because they have received a lot of profits
from the production of one of the biggest grossing comedies ever
The Hangover.
The Box office figures show that Film 4 Productions
haven't had the most success when it comes in terms of
gross profits as their film Four Lions didn’t have too much
of an impact in the USA as it only made $41,512 on the
opening weekend.
6. I think Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. would be the best media
institution to distribute our media product because they have a big
reputation as they have been successful with the distribution of other
films from our genre. They will helps us distribute our films to a bigger
scale of an audience than the British film institutions as they will be more
of a household name around the world when it comes to producing and
distributing films. The success of their films like The Hangover shows
that they will be able to expand our brand and we can make a sequel to
our film depending on the popularity.
