Our media company is an independent British film company called Hot Ice Productions. As an independent company, we rely on slow releases of our low-budget films and give filmmakers a good amount of funding, though our films do not have flashy CGI effects. A distributor would be responsible for releasing our film to cinemas and later DVD/Blu-ray, deciding show times and locations, and promoting the film. The distributor previews the film for buyers, makes copies for theaters, and collects payments after the film's run, helping to distribute our media product to audiences.

why?

2. What is an institution?
A institution is a company that disperses a media
product
for audience consumption an institution usually
disperses a film
product through cinemas, and later on
depending on the success, DVD releases and
merchandise. A company essentially helps to
create the film- its assists in the budgeting,
scheduling, scripting, casting and more. The
company usually looks over the film from when
its just an idea to completion. They are
responsible for finding a director and the
majority of acting talent required. However they
are also responsible if anything were to go wrong
on the film, for example an actor being injured or
property being damaged

3. Our company
Our company is an independent British
film company that rely on slow releases of
their films. ‘Hot Ice Productions’ is a
company we made up for our title
sequence. Our company is not known for
blockbusters but is known for releasing
low budgeted films and giving a good
amount of fund, so most of the films that
is released from our company do not have
flashy cgi.

4. The idea of a distributor
A distributor basically sends your film out into the
world for the waiting audiences to watch. They decide
where and when the film will show and they also
promote the film. There are a number of steps that are
followed in the process of distribution. Firstly they
have to determine how many copies of the film to
make. The film is then previewed to prospective
buyers. The film is then sent to the cinemas shortly
before it opens. The cinema then shoes the film and
after people have seen it, it will get sent back to the
distributors and payment is agreed.
