Question 3What kind of media institution

might distribute your media

product and why?

Paramount

Pictures

Real media text distributed by Paramount Pictures:Shutter Island- Box office sales: $294.8 Million- DVD sales: $27 Million

- Digital formats: Amazon Instant, ITunes, Google play.

- Promotion through Posters, trailers, online advertisements and interviews.

Why Paramount Pictures? Paramount pictures distribute thriller/horror movies. They do sometimes distribute movies which have been produced by an independent production company, Se7en is a good example of this.

I would expect the movie to be a wide release, possibly national as the movie is set is an urban, well known city. As well as it being set in locations that can be similar around the UK. I think this movie will be a digital release as it is for teenagers and most teens watch movies now on streaming services like Netflix. I would expect the distributor to advertise the movie on the streaming site as well as other websites such as youtube through trailers.

Production company (Independent)

We decided on a mainstream distribution company but then an independent distributor as one of the movies we researched was very successful at using these companies. The movie was Se7en starring Morgan Freeman
