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

A production company is responsible for the actual construction and manufacturing of the different layers of the finished production. Moreover the production company will also be in charge of the physical production of the product so from getting everything organized such as scripts, music, editing, props, mise en scene and casting of actors. In simple words the production company is in charge of more or less everything. However within this day and age media and technology have become extremely advanced as most production houses and media institutions distribute as well as produce real media. For example Warner brothers which is a major and maybe the most successful media institution its produces as well as distributes all its media texts however on the other hand Film4 is a mini major operating successful within the UK. However although its scale of operation is a lot smaller in comparison to that of Warner Brothers it still distributes its own products. The initial task of the distributor is to exploit the production and try and generate various revenue streams by selling the products to media exchanges such as TV channels and multiplexes. The distributor is not only in charge of the marketing side of the production however they are the link between a successful and an unsuccessful one. Our media production could be produced and distributed by various different media institution such as Revolver entertainment.

Past example of there work are films such as Kidult hood, Heart breaker and Sket. The production house tackles real day to day issues and provides its audience with an indirect moral to every film produced. For example Kidult hood simply tackles the issue of youths making a career in crime and drugs and the movie discloses all its consequences sending out a message to all its target audience which are teenagers and young adults. However the secondary audience also appreciated the movie and it received extremely positive views from many critics. This goes to show a label like Revolver entertainment is the type of media institution which will distribute and produce a media production like mine. This is because our movie also concentrates on an important issue as young love and young relationships are becoming a major concern day by day.

The production of our movie could be financed quite easily; this is because there is more then one option. So for example the movie can be financed by pitching the production to a company such as revolver entrainment and if they see strength in the script, and believe it is a viable venture then they could just invest into it. Moreover if this option does not work out then private equity firms are always looking for a new venture which is unique and has its own unique selling point. Therefore the movie can inspire private businesses to invest. Finally a grant from the film council could also help this project take off. This just shows the different ways in which the production could receive funding in order to get the project started.
