Question 3

what kind of media institution might distribute your media

product and why?

universal pictures would be a type of distribution company that we would be looking for they distributed 'the Bourne legacy' and that would be our sort of aim as they would know the target audience and would know how to attract them by using the same or similar as they would have done for 'the Bourne legacy' as because of our film being low budget. They released two trailers the first being a short trailer to interest the audience and then longer one closer to the release date we believe that having universal would be beneficial to us because of universal being so well known and our production company wouldn’t be people may be interested because they would recognise the universal logo and be interested because they have seen the logo on other films they may have enjoyed.

Universal Studios Inc., is an American motion picture studio, owned by Comcast through its wholly owned subsidiary NBCUniversal, and is one of the six major movie studios. 

our production company is called FCF productions and would produce low to medium budget films because of our storyline it would fit better with a low/ medium budget producer because you don't need all the special effects and editing and would only need a known actor that would be able to play the protagonist but even then it wouldn't make much difference to the actual story line but would attract a target audience if they wanted to watch the film because they at least recognise the faces used in the film.

what do a production company do? a production company essentially helps to create the film-its assists in the budgeting ,scheduling, scripting, casting and more. The company usually looks over the film from when its just an idea to completion. They are responsible for finding a director and the majority of acting talent required. However they are a responsible if anything were to go wrong on the film, for example and actor being injured or property being damaged.

our budget would have come from private investors and loans from banks, we believe that our film would have interested investors because of how well the genre is doing with film like James Bond, the Bourne sequels and taken all not only doing well with one release but making sequels to the first story line and those doing just as well seeing as in other genres when a second film is bought out they usually say how they have 'killed' or 'ruined' the first one. we would also have to look at bank loans as because it is a low budget film investors may not invest as much as needed and may need to fill in the gaps by borrowing the money and paying the banks back when we begin to make profit.
