What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
A media institution is more commonly known as a production company, well known examples include Paramount and Warner Bros. Production companies have the purpose of aiding the creation of films (money) and then bringing them into cinemas for audiences to watch. The media institution that would be best suited to distributing my thriller product is Lionsgate as they are know to have created and produced many successful thriller films including the first two Saw films. It is due to their success that Lionsgate have been able to build a trusted and respected name for themselves over the years, and have earned the reputation of knowing what viewers want to see in a thriller film. The reason why I chose the Lionsgate production company to produce my media product is due to the fact that it is a recognisable, reliable name and the producer of some major blockbuster films. Furthermore, I know that I can trust this well established company to have the knowledge that I do not have but that will help me to produce a thriller film that will appeal to my target audience. If more of my target audience were to go and watch my media product, it would result in a larger profit being made for Lionsgate.
By choosing the Lionsgate production company, and due to them being such a big company, the budget for my media product will be a lot higher than that of an independent company. This would help me to attract A-list actors, hire better equipment and use bigger special effect on my product which will help it to appeal to a wider audience. The more people that watch the film will mean a bigger profit overall.
Your analysis of question 3, demonstrates minimal understanding of the media institution that would distribute your thriller production. You have considered a film institution and a successful film that was produced by your chosen institution, but you need to ensure that you have considered further comparisons between the film and your production, to demonstrate further understanding of this question and how the institution will help to make your production successful.
