Question 3 - What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

What is a production company?

A production company for a film provides the money and decides upon a budget. They may also decide on the director and the actor and actresses. Production companies often come attached with their own directors, actors and actresses, photographers and film editors.

What is a distribution company?

A distribution company has the responsibility of releasing the film to the public, either theatrically or for home viewing.

As a group, we decided that we would use 20th Century Fox to distribute our film. We have chosen this distribution company based on it's reputation that it has built up over many years, it's ability to successfully release films that go on to become massive hits, and it's capability to sell millions of tickets. We feel that using 20th Century Fox would benefit us massively, and it is the right choice for our film. We will also distribute our film using YouTube, by uploading the film's trailer to 20th Century Fox's channel, which has more than 1 million subscribes worldwide. This is a free form of advertising that we will most certainly take advantage of. 

The film that is most similar to my film is Iain Softley's 1995 crime film "Hackers". This is because it has the same genre as my film, and rather than having physical crime, it is more logical mind crime, which is found more in modern times as opposed to the 70's/80's, where the crime films mostly consisted of violence.

I plan to fund my film by using many different sponsors, as I believe that young-adults, especially males, getting stereotyped is too over-exaggerated in the media, which creates negative results.
