1. Q3: WHAT KIND OF MEDIA
INSTITUTION MIGHT
DISTRIBUTE YOUR MEDIA
PRODUCT AND WHY?
Korima Begum

2. Production & Distribution Companies
Initially we were going to go for a well known production
company such as Warner Brothers or Universal Studios but
because we had decided that our thriller film was going to be
a low budget movie it wouldn’t make sense if we had bigger
companies producing and distributing it. So later we decided
on making our own to make it more realistic.

3. The production company we
chose for our thriller movie
‘Code Red’ is CANDI Studios.
The distribution company we
chose is Redline Pictures.

4. Information on both companies
CANDI Studios and Redline Pictures are both small
scale independent companies. We used the standard
college ident for the production company as we thought it
would make it more independent to the college and give off
the effect that it is supposed to be a small company. We
created our own distribution company and ident ‘Redline
Pictures’ by just using a simple animation over the text to
make it look professional yet not too grand to look like a big
branded company.

5. Suitability
We think that a company such as ‘Redline Pictures’ would be best
suited to distribute our movie as it is meant to be a small
independent company. As our film is thought to be a low budget
film and contain gritty content, it would be unrealistic to use big
companies such as Sony Pictures, 20th Century
Fox, Paramount Pictures or Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as our
distribution company as they wouldn’t really distribute independent
films in real life.

6. Distribution companies such as the ones listed before are known for
distributing films like Skyfall, Panic Room, Limitless, Collateral, Zero
Dark Thirty etc.

7. Relating to the Audience
I think that using these companies would be able to relate to
an audience because smaller companies rely more on online
advertisement and other social networking distribution
methods such as Facebook, Twitter etc. This would bring in
a younger crowd to watch the film. The grittiness of the film
alone would attract an older audience.
