Our film would be distributed by an independent distributor, not a major studio like Warner Bros. or Fox, since it has an independent style with location filming and unknown actors. Independent distributors market films through various online and physical methods to establish audiences and convince exhibitors to show the films. The document compares our opening to the independent thriller "Crush," which was distributed by several non-U.S. or U.K. companies. Our thriller would likely be released in the summer to target 15-20 year olds and be shown in independent cinemas or go straight to TV or DVD.

1. What kind of media
institution might distribute
your media product and why?

2. Who would distribute our film?
 Our Film would not be distributed
by big named distributors such as
Warner brothers, 2oth century fox
and paramount.
 Because our film fits more into an
independent film, which would
mean we would film in a
studio, most of the filming would
be on location which is what we did
whilst filming our opening.
 We also would not have stars, the
actors would mostly be new/unknown
actors.

3. Role of the distributor
 Distributors have two main roles to
play, Establishing the audience and marketing to the
exhibitors.
 They most market the film in as many ways as
possible. The internet (YouTube, Twitter, IMDB)
Posters (Newspapers) Merchandise (T-shirts, toys)
public transport (Adshel, Side of buses, billboards)
and TV (Trailers, interviews, music videos)

4. Independent or Blockbuster
 I tried to compare our opening to a
blockbuster but couldn't find one
similar, however I found this independent
by Malik Bader called “Crush” a thriller
focused on a stalker.
 I did more research on this film and found
that it was distributed by about 6
distributors, FilmNation Entertainment
being one. However non were US or British
companies even though it is the language of
the film.

5. When and Where?
 I believe that our thriller would be released in the
summer, even though it is not a hug Hollywood
blockbuster our target audience is 15 to early 20’s
which means they would be on holiday and would
have time to see it
 Because our film is an independent the places it
would most likely be shown would be Curzon
cinema, small ones in nice area’s such Richmond.
 Or our film could go straight to the TV or DVD
