What Kind of Media Institution would distribute your media product and why?

This is a screenshot of the Film4 website which advertises much larger budget films in contrast with our film opening.

Media institutions produce and distribute products to mostly mass audiences, they are slightly similar to media Conglomerates. Examples of Media Institutions are BBC, Sony and Time Warner. Film 4, owned by Channel 4, is a Media Institution formed in the United Kingdom which doesn’t have such a mass audience as larger institutions such as The Walt Disney Company. Film 4 have produced Films with similar themes and genres as our main task. Film 4 also created a small company called Film 4 productions which backed up smaller projects and films from the UK, its first production, named Walter, was directed by Stephen Frears. Stephen Frears later directed films such as Dirty Pretty Things which also has a similar genre to our film opening, which is a thriller. Other films that Film 4 productions have made have become extremely successful for low budget films, such as Trainspotting and This is England.

Our opening sequence and initial media product is based for a small audience and would be perfectly produced by a small company such as Film 4 productions who make successful, simple and small budget films.
