Question 3

Which type of Media institution might distribute your media product and why?


When we were pitching our Thriller ideas, we discussed having Sony as our distributor for the whole of our Thriller. This was because Sony is a conglomerate company and has recently distributed films such as: Skyfall which is an Action Thriller. They are prestigious in the film industry and would provide a hefty budget to make sure our Thriller is modernised; using the lastest technologies to enhance the quality of our film.


However, idealistically I feel our Thriller, being made by students, would possibly fit in to the category of being an Independent Film, which unlike Sony does not promote a large scale distribution behind it and they are not exhibited widely in cinema complexes. Therefore, I feel that our film could thrive off of a low budget, independent film company such as: 'Dogwoof' which has distributed documentaries, which our Thriller almost carries a sense of as our plot communicates awareness of online safety, however we have portrayed our Thriller in a fictional sense, although basing it on events which happen in reality.

I think that 'Dogwoof' is the most suitable distributer for our Thriller as it makes films which are similar to ours and realistically would be possible to make this happen, although Sony has economical and technological assets, our film could thrive better off of this and would support the issue of awareness better, rather than having a blockbuster version as it takes the truth away from it.
