Evaluation Question 3

1. EVALUATION QUESTION 3:
WHAT KIND OF MEDIA INSTITUTION
MIGHT DISTRIBUTE YOUR MEDIA
PRODUCT AND WHY?

2. UNIVERSAL PICTURES
• It is ranked as one of the big six film studios of Hollywood.
• They specialise in films of thriller genre and have backed up a lot of
movies in thriller.
• They have distributed many successful films like; ‘Psycho’, ‘The boy
next door’ and ‘The watcher’.
• All these films have a similar storyline to our thriller opening.
• Distributing our product through universal will allow us to aim for a
wider target audience and many more people will be able to see it.

3. WARP FILMS
• They produce and distribute movies in the UK. The types of movies they
produce are realistic and the events are everyday life which the audience
can relate too.
• It’s an independent media institution based in Sheffield, London.
• As compared to universal they are a very small production company
whose work is not spread worldwide.
• This company might distribute our product in England because our
settings is everyday life as they use in their films.
• They try to avoid use of many different genres and make very less
movies in thriller genre.

4. Overall, I came to a conclusion that our movie will be distributed by
Universal pictures as they are a major institution which will allow our
product to be viewed worldwide, giving it more audience. Also, Universal
distribute movies which meet all the codes and conventions and as our
movie is a mainstream product similar what is expected in a thriller it is
more likely to be distributed by universal. However, it will be made by an
independent institution like Warp films as there movies are set in everyday
life settings and as our movie meets all the codes and conventions of thriller
films it makes an ideal film for the Warp. Being made by the warp it will
attract more audience in England as it would be relatable for the audience
like all the other films made by warp. Its made by a company that deals with
the realistic things and our product also challenges social groups and
ethnicity. Therefore, it will be distributed by a major company as our product
meets all the codes and convention for a thriller.
