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

2. What is distribution?
Distribution is the process of getting a film to a larger audience done through marketing strategies.
Film distributors take the film and attempt to make the film internationally well known and viewed.
Distributors start by creating excitement for the film through methods such as teasers and social media
marketing. Distributors are put into two categories, independent or part of the big 6 (major) . An example
of a major company would be 20th century fox.

3. Distributors and Audience
There are specialist psychological thriller genres film distributors. Kaleidoscope is an independent
company which is good as they are more likely to notice a smaller film.
Due to the british representation in our film, I think that a larger british audience would watch the film.
We could also go down the route of self distribution. This is good as it allows ust to maintain more creative
control as we are distributing it. However, it may not work as it is a lot more expensive and time
consuming.

4. Audience appeal
I think that due to the lack of over representation to just one social category, our
audience appeals to many people regardless of social group. To create a buzz for
our film certain marketing strategies would be used. For example the use of social
media would have a strong part of advertising the movie. Furthermore, teaser
trailers could be released leading up to the release to engage the audience. In
addition, due to the large audience appeal many more methods could be used
such as tv and radio to market the film.
