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

2.  There are many media institutions that distribute
films, some more popular than others. Some of the
main ones that most people will know, are:
 20th Century Fox
 Warner Bros. Pictures
 Paramount Pictures
 Universal Pictures
 Columbia Pictures
 Walt Disney Pictures
 If our film was a huge block buster, the following
companies would distribute our media product:

3. 20th Century Fox
 Subsidiary of News Corporation
 Founded by William Fox in 90's
 One of the 6 major American film studios
 Most popular for Star Wars, Ice Age, The Simpsons, X-
Men, Die Hard, Family Guy and 24.
 Subsidiaries – Fox Searchlight Pictures, Fox Atomic, Fox
Interactive, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, Fox
Television Studios, Blue Sky Studios, Fox Star Studios.

4. Warner Bros. Pictures
 Subsidiary of Time Warner
 Warner Bros. Studios, Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner
Bros, Interactive Entertainment, Warner Bros.

5. Paramount Pictures
 Private company subsidiary of Viacom
 Founded in 1912
 Over 100 years old
 Consistently ranking one of the largest movie studios
 Fifth oldest existing film studio

6.  All of the listed above are mostly like the companies
which will distribute our media product.
 Why? Because they are the most well known production
companies in the world. Although it is not as easy as it
sounds, due to our media product being a student film, it
means we'd have to work extra hard to get our film
distributed into the film industry.
 This can be done by taking it to a student film
festival, uploading it to YouTube or different student film
sites and depending how popular it gets, small UK
companies may want to invest in it. (Cineworld)
 If this was done, it will hopefully set off the audience
numbers that have watched it and boost the ratings.
