Universal was founded in the early 20th century by several individuals and is one of the oldest surviving film studios in the United States. It is a major film studio known for distributing action films and thrillers similar to the document's film, making it a potential fit to appeal to those audiences. Universal has also been creative with film marketing in the past, such as using social media platforms to promote Pitch Perfect 2. Film4 Productions is a British film company owned by Channel 4 that is known for producing small, low-budget films that go on to find great commercial success, making it a good potential fit for the document's small, first-time director film.

3.  I have chosen Universal because it has distributed films similar to
ours
 Such as; Red Dragon, Hannibal, Lucy, Bourne, Van Heling and
more
 It has also produced many successful action film meaning we
could appeal to the audience that those films reach as well as
people who enjoy watching thrillers as our overall film would be
very action heavy
 While also having an element of psychological moments much
like Silence of the Lambs and its prequels Red Dragon and
Hannibal.

4.  Universal have previously got creative with its ways of marketing
a film.
 For Pitch Perfect 2 Universal used social media to raise awareness
for the film
 They bought snapchat filters so people could use it and see that
the film was on while also sharing it with their friends
 Also at the premiere of the film snapchats were taken, Instagram's
were posted, it was known as the most social premiere of all time
 The film sponsored Iggy Azalea and Britney Spears' must video
for ‘Pretty Girls’ and sponsored ABC Family tv show ‘Pretty Little
Liars’ as they already had a large audience

Channel Four Television Corporation.
 The company has made a lot of British films
 Tessa Rodd was head of Film4 Productions from 2002-2014

6.  I have chosen Film4 Productions because they are known for making
small budget films that are very successful
 They have made films such as; Trainspotting, T2 Trainspotting, Attack
The Block, Dogma, Slumdog Millionaire and many more
 They have many first time directors while also having recurring
successful directors such as; Danny Boyle (Director of Trainspotting and
Slumdog Millionaire)

7.  As my film is very small budget with first time directors I would choose
Film4 Productions, they have made other films that have been really
successful and I feel like it would be a really good fit for our film.
 Because of the small budget it wouldn’t be on the scale of a product
Universal would release
 This is why I believe that Film4 would be a good fit for our thriller.
