Question 3

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

For my film opening I picked Columbia pictures as my distributor. Columbia pictures is an American film production and distribution studio. it is one of the leading film studios in the world. The studio was founded in 1918 by brothers Jack and Harry Cohn and Joe Brandt, they released its first feature film in August 1922. Since 1989 Sony Pictures has taken it over as the owners. 

I picked Columbia pictures as it has been a well established company and that it is trusted. Most viewers know off Columbia pictures which makes it a well known company. I have seen Columbia Pictures on many films so as the film maker myself it was one of the first company's that came into my head to use, I also am a fan of many Columbia Pictures so it gave me even more reason as to why I wanted to pick it, after i researched it more I thought this would be good to use even more with the reasons below.

Columbia pictures has a wide range of genre types. The main types of genre would be comedy and thriller. Thriller is my genre which matches my film exactly. A film that attracted me to Columbia Pictures was 'the girl with the dragon tattoo' which is a main film i focused on for my research. This shows that they might be interested in doing a similar film which would be a great way to market my film. They also have done a range of horror films which could potentially boost up reasons as too why they would fund my film.
