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

Our movie is unlikely to be distributed by a large conglomerate like Disney, Warner Bros Co. Because it is not mainstream and popular in the general public, it is more likely to distribute through the internet, up for download or be a TV movie that has a sequel possibility or produced as something bigger in the future and become a film franchise like the James Bond or Batman franchises.
These distribution methods a liable because, we are an unknown production company that has just produced there first film (supposedly). So because of this it would be better to target an audience on the web or TV because they don’t have to go out to the cinema to watch it so they can immediately access it to give our media product a chance.
The reason why I think that it could become a TV film is because allot of TV films are indie low budget films by under the radar film companies, like ours. Also our product has many openings for a franchise because of its un-closed and unique story-line that is quite incomparable, this gives the movie potential to mould into what sort of movie it could be. TV is also an easy way for viewers to consume our product as it is just on TV and you would not have to go through the trouble of buying things.
Our media product is an ‘art house’ film because of our unique use of mise en scene in our production with our tattoo idea that people can catch on to easily. Our film could be distributed through a company that deals with ‘art house’ films like ‘Hollywood art house’.
If our film were to be distributed only throughout the internet it would gain low profit because our audience is not of the stereotypical computer generation that is less mature and would not have anything that they could connect to through the dialog or the mise en scene. We would also lose money through pirating on the web through torrenting as well.
