Question 3

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

My group decided that the kind of media institution who would distribute our media product would be an independent distributor. The reason for this is because independent distributors generally tend to possess low budgets and therefore distribute films that don't have as much public recognition as mainstream films. Our media product has no budget, so as a result, it was clear that an independent distributor would be the most appropriate option.

My group also decided that we would use Artificial Eye as our distributor. This is an English distributor company that have films that produce films of many genres with hidden meanings. My group did some research on this company and found that many of there films are actually thrillers, mysterious films and horrors, with fits out opening sequence perfectly. Our media product also aims to highlight the dangers of social networking, so it is a suitable option to use Artificial Eye as they seem like a distributor who would distribute a horror film with a hidden meaning.



For the production company, my group decided that New Wonder Productions would be a suitable idea for our media product. This is because Lethal Media is a film that features very modern scenarios (such as the use of mobile phones and social networking), so the use of the word 'New' would be appropriate for our production company. As Lethal Media also incorporates hidden meanings into the product, it intrigues the audience, and makes them wonder about what these hidden meanings are and how they are implemented into the film. This shows that the use of the word 'Wonder' is appropriate for our production company.
