Question3:What kind of mediainstitutionmight distribute your media
product and why?
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
Studios Inc. or MGM
MGM was founded on the 17th of April 1924 by Marcus Loew and Louis B. Mayer. Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer are a production and distribution company, so they not only produce some
films but they also distribute them as well. One film that Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is to be
distributing is the 25th James Bond film. James Bond films are generally intense, action
packed films that have built up a very high reputation for themselves. They also have one
recurring male character who is constantly having to fight against some sort of protagonist.
The films also have quite a similar opening scene to what my film had begun with, for
example, Quantum of Solace (2008) started with a long chase scene to build up suspense.
A reason why I chose to use Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as my
distribution company is because they have done a lot of successful
action films in the past and recently, for example The Terminator
(1984) and the G.I Joe Franchise. Because of their success in films
in the past as well as in the future, with the 25th James Bond yet to
come out, it means that they are still a big company and will still
have a big following. Having films that are then the same genre as
mine, could reinforce the customer base as they would most likely
enjoy the film.
