An independent film company would be best suited to distribute the media product due to its lower budget and smaller target audience. Independent film companies like Independent Film Company and Supernova Films specialize in distributing smaller, lower budget films through online platforms rather than wide theatrical releases. They have experience with similar thriller genres to the media product, which involves a man being forced to deliver a mysterious package across London within a day to save his kidnapped girlfriend.

1. 3. WHAT KIND OF MEDIA INSTITUTION MIGHT
DSTRIBUTE YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT AND
WHY?

2. There are many factors that impact the which media institution we would use:
• Due to the popularity and budget of our piece the media institution we would use would
be an independent one. This is due mostly to the lack of features typical with big budget
Hollywood films. Our film would not need such a wide spread distribution and probably
wont be released to a cinema as it doesn’t have any audience big enough to pay to
watch.
• These Hollywood films would also, along with a widespread and expensive distribution,
have a very large marketing campaign. This would reach out to a large number of
people, which with our small piece we do not have the budget for either.
• Examples of an independent film company that could distribute our film from the UK is
the: independent film company or supernova films.
• At the moment they both have a number of small time movies with a various level of
known actors. These films seem low budget and the main way they have been
distributed is via iTunes, DVD, Netflix and the newly popular Blu-ray. Missing the cinema
completely.

3. They have a wide range of thrillers that they have in production and that they have
produced already. There are two films that caught my eye on both websites. These are:
Level Up & The Vortex. Level up involves a character looking after a case/package, similar
to our own piece. The Vortex involves a group of American soldiers going after to find a
scientist gone rogue. This is an action thriller that we feel is similar to our own. Although it
later becomes a bit far fetch we feel that this company will be able to cater for our needs as
a distribution company and that our film will fit in their portfolio well.
• The media institutions follow the path we would like to take to distribute our film as it is
the path more likely to attract the audience we want.
