The document discusses potential media institutions that might distribute an independent, low-budget British film. The British Film Institute, BBC Films, and Film4 would be the most likely options as they distribute smaller, British-made films. A simultaneous release across DVD, cinema, and online platforms would help generate word of mouth and interest from greater accessibility. An initial platform release in select art house or independent cinemas could then be expanded based on reception. Social media will also be important for distribution and gaining interest for the film online.

1. WHAT KIND OF MEDIA
INSTITUTIONS MIGHT
DISTRIBUTE YOUR MEDIA
PRODUCTS AND WHY?
By Jake Cook

2. As our film would be a British low budget film it would be
most likely be distributed by a independent film studio. The
British film institute (BFI), BBC Films and film4 would be
the most likely to distribute/Produce our film because these
studios are also relatively small and are British based.

3.  It would be very unlikely to be distributed
by one of the big 6 due to us being too
high risk because we are not an
established company.

4. As a low budget film we would most
likely to use a simultaneous release;
Releasing our film on many different
platforms at once (DVD, Cinema,
Online..)

5.  By doing this we would hope to gain attention
to the film via word of mouth, This would
make people more interested and as it is
available on most platforms people would be

6. We would also use a plat
formed release along with the
simultaneous release. A plat
formed release is only
showing a film in a few
theatres (Art house or
independent cinema)
increasing the amount of
cinemas showing the film as

7. In reality we are going to distribute our film with
the use of social media. For example, our film
has been released on Youtube and we have
used Tumblr & twitter; to gain interest and
feedback from the film.
