This document discusses two types of distribution companies - conglomerates and independent companies - that can be used to distribute media products. Conglomerates are large companies that own many other media businesses. They would likely distribute only big budget, well-known franchises. Independent companies are much smaller, often run by just one or two individuals, and fund their own projects. They would be more inclined to help distribute a small-budget thriller since they understand the challenges of getting a new product noticed. In conclusion, conglomerates require high production values while independent distributors are cheaper but have less reach.

1. Distribution Companies
Lewis Maddison

2. Introduction
 When it comes to producing different forms of media, the end
product requires a way for other people to view it. This is where
distribution companies come in.
 There are two different types of distribution companies that you can
use to sell your form of media. These are;
 Conglomerates
 Independent companies

3. Conglomerates
 A conglomerate is a large company which owns either small portions of
other media companies, or completely owns them. An example of this is
Universal studios which owns many different companies including Music
distributors, book publishers and cinemas.
 This kind of company would distribute our media thriller if it was either a big
budget, blockbuster, Or part of a well known franchise that has spanned
several years like Star Wars or The Matrix.
 If we wanted to get our Thriller distributed by this type of company we would
need to make sure that it is made to perfection and be able to convince
executives from Universal that our product will make the money they invest
back.

5. Independent Companies
 Independent companies are much smaller then conglomerates,
generally confined to just one or two individuals or one company in
itself. They are required to fund their own projects or have to go to
other companies to ask for loans with the promise of repaying them.
 Some examples of these kinds of companies are Blind Crow
pictures, Ruby films and Archer street films.
 These kinds of companies would probably agree to aid in the
distribution of our Thriller because it has started off the same way
that they have had too. With a very small budget and lack of
technological resources. This would probably make them more
inclined to assist as they know how hard it would be to attain a
larger companies help or try to distribute on our own.

7. Conclusion
 In conclusion, when it comes to the final distribution of our media
thriller we can either go down the path of using a conglomerate
which would require a high budget film that we would then need to
promise a small amount of the initial investment to produce, Or we
could go down the independent route and which would be far
cheaper and would be assisted by people who understand the
difficulty of distributing a product to the general public.
