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

2. Media institutions that may distribute my media product could include Lionsgate and Newline cinema as both of these companies distribute thriller genre films in the U.K. Lionsgate has distributed such films as American Psycho and The next three days and Newline cinema has distributed many films in the U.K including Seven and Final destination.

3. These compaies would be good for distributing our thriller as they are well known and would achieve a wider audience for our product although there is a greater chance of the film losing more money if it is not successful. Another company which would be suitable for distributing our thriller is Film Four, which co-finances British films as well as distributing them. FilmFour has distributed films including Jaws and 127 hours.

4. Our thriller is more likely to be shown in a mainstream cinemas such as Odeon and Cineworld rather than art house cinemas such as FACT, althought it is even more likely that our thriller would be just shown on television, distributed by companies such as film four which have their own television channel.

5. Coffee films is an independent film production company which may be suitable for distributing our thriller as it supports unknown British filmmakers and helps to distribute their films throughout the U.K. As our thriller is a low budget film it is most likely to be distributed by a less well known company such as Coffee films. Coffee films has produced films such as Lucid and Last Of The Scottish Wildcats.
