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


A production company helps to create a film, this could be in terms of financially or providing experience, equipment, and connections to other companies or brands.

We felt our movie would have the best chance of global success if it was distributed with a globally well-known distributor. We decided Paramount Pictures. The reason we picked Paramount Pictures is because they have been in the industry for over 100 years as it was first founded on the 8th May 1912 in California. Due to the companies huge success with the likes of the original Titanic (1997) as well as many franchises such as Shrek and Indiana Jones, since they were first founded have managed to turn over $2.9 Billion USD. This was key to our decision as we felt they have the best experience within the industry again their competitors. As well as the financial side of things, Paramount Productions were also behind the distribution of other huge Teen Angst films such as Footloose as well as Fun Size. This solidifies to us that they are capable of being able to distribute a teen angst film correctly with great success.

However, this being said we feel our film is better being produced by film 4. This is due to the films in which film 4 have produced in the past, this includes films such as The Selfish Giant, this is a film that is produced with the target audience being very niche individuals. Our film is similar to this due to the content involved within the film by this I am referring to the controversial topics of sexuality, self-harm and drug addiction. This is why i feel out film would be best suited with Film 4.
