MAIN Post 12.3: Question 3

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



Production companies have the deciding choice when it comes to films. They will normally be responsible for the funds that go into the film as well as help produce the film. Their main role is to help create the idea for the film as well as shoot al the footage and edit it afterworlds. They will normally have people that specialize in each of the curtain areas such as filming and editing. After everything for the film is done and complete, the film is passed on to a distribution company were the film is promoted and advertised which is a whole other topic.

There are a few different ways production companies could raise money to fund new films. One is the option of going to the UK Film Council and applies for a fund. Another is by applying to one of the many charities that loan money to produce the film. Another way to raise money is by taking the film-to-film festivals that can help to fund money for the film.

If I were looking for a distribution company to establish our film: Dispatch, I would probably argue that Paramount Pictures would be the best choice. I would choose them because they have distributed many other thriller/action adventure films including the mission impossible series. Paramount Pictures are very well know and have distributed many other films of different genres as well, they have a lot of contacts with other company’s to help promote the film wit products such as action toys and posters. Paramount Pictures also would have contacts to video game designers, which could result in there being a option to create a video game of our film.
