1. What Kind Of Media
Institution Might Distribute
Your Media Product And
Why?

2. Our Current Production
Company
• Our current production company is DCN , this is a made up
production company designed for the purpose of our film.
However if this was a real production company they may
produce similar genre films to continue a reoccurring genre for
they’re target audience. That being said our target audience
most likely falls into the teenage male categories , this would
be because of the content our movie contains that relates to
the these audiences. For example the characters wear clothes
that fits the modern styles , this is important because it can
sometimes serve as a time defining aspect for the film.
Another relation to our target audience is the props and
storyline content , Generally our target audience is more
popular around crime movies with guns and fast paced scenes
(chase scenes) this is because they prefer the action content
modern films offer. Our film contains all of these features so it
would apply to this audience appropriately.

3. Finding A Distributor…
• First we’d have to either find or contact a distributor and
pitch the movie to them , or we’d have to attend a film
convention suitable to the genre of our film and hope
we’d get recognised as a film group with potential.
Each of these methods would be difficult for a small
film , because generally you wouldn’t get recognised
for a first film. The more appropriate and suitable option
is to probably approach a smaller film distributor and
pitch our idea. We could do this by first searching
catalogues for recent films being distributed by these
types of companies or we could go online and search
for one.

4. The Most Appropriate Distributor
For Us!
• A suitable film distributor for us would most likely be
momentum pictures due to their broader range of
independent films. This would appeal to us because it
means they don’t distribute genre specific films. Momentum
pictures distribute over 20 films per year , this is beneficial
to us as it could mean they have a high approval rate , thus
making it easier to pitch our film and a larger chance of
them agreeing. Because our film is based in England it
meant trying to find and locate a distributor within the
country , this narrowed down options for us , however
thankfully larger film distributors like Momentum and MGM
have a base in England.

5. Comparison
• Momentum Pictures in comparison to a larger distributor like
Columbia would be more suitable for our film. This is mainly
because securing a place with Columbia would be much
more difficult and they’d have a lower agreement rate ,
meaning they’d probably deny the film due to it being
independent. Momentum is purely an independent film
distributor so they’d be more likely to agree to a small film
such as Magnum. Another reason being that Columbia is a
world leading distributor owned by Sony , so they’d probably
be more interested in the larger and more profitable
franchises. Furthermore Columbia is mainly a Hollywood
distribution company so even if they were to distribute an
independent film , it is more likely to be American rather
than English , mainly because they are more trusted and
generally more popular and profitable.
