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

Media institutions are very specific towards the kinds of media they distribute. Every distributor will have a type of movie that they believe will satisfy their target audience, and produce the greatest profit. An example of this is would be Universal Studios which distribute mainstream blockbusters such as Jurassic Park, and more recently; Oblivion.

I believe that my media product would be distributed by a more independent, British distributor such as Warp Films, as they would be more willing to experiment with up-coming productions, such as Long Road To Ruin, than the multi-national mainstream production companies. This is partly down to the specific genre which these larger companies must stick to in order to satisfy the more mainstream audience. On the other hand, Warp Films distribute a lot more of the less mainstream productions to appease to the aficionados of film viewers. For these reasons, Warp Films would seem a much more likely solution towards distributing my media product.

Another possible solution towards the distribution of my media product would be the independent film distibuter 'Anton Pictures', who states "The greatest movies start with independent film makers". This sort of distributor would be perfect for my film. Not only because its a small-scale production company, but because it has already distributed media of my genre, such as an American version of Sherlock Holmes, released in 2011.
