What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why ?All together there are six major studios who own their own distribution companies and these are:Warner BrothersUniversal20th Century FoxWalt Disney PicturesSony PicturesParamount PicturesA film distributor is a company or an individual who releases movies to the public either theatrically or for home viewing i.e. DVDs. The distributor may set the release date of the film and the method in which it is exhibited or made available for viewing.

A lot of Crime/Action films have a mainstream audience but because it is of a particular taste of violence, gore and language a lot of people do not like them. They are most defiantly not the most popular films out although the normal audiences would be males and it is normally a young male’s favourite genre to watch which is why it is rated so high. But because our film would be low budget I would use an individual distribute because we would not be able to afford it although because of its genre by starting of small we could go really big.

I would choose to have our film distributed by Revolver Entertainment because of its success. Over the last ten years they have been awarded 18 of the industry’s top awards for their marketing excellence. They have also been the distributors for our chosen genre of Crime/Action such as Kidult Hood, Adult hood and Dead Man Running. I think that by using Revolver Entertainment it would benefit is greatly and would help to make our film get more views. Also as stated bellow Crime/Action film earn a lot of money, Green Street made a total of $3,154,346. After knowing this it proves that Crime/Action films would need a major distributer to support us and to help us sell as many as we would like to.

I think that to start off with we should start of by advertising our film on things such as Facebook , Youtube, Twitter as we do not have the budget to market it anywhere else . We are choosing to do this because it gives us a wide audience of people who will be watching our product which will help to promote it. Because of our small budget we decided to research into some other successful movies from our genre who also had a small budget and it proved to be very useful information because it made us realize that even small budget films go a long way. Films such

as Kidult Hood had a low budget but still succeeded really well and made a lot with box office.

Another popular low budget film with in our genre is Submarine as you can see in the picture to the left. This proved to us that our genre would be a good selling film even with a low budget .
