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

 My film opening is best suited for a British film company like hammer film production although our main film institution is with lionsgate which is an american company, A British film company like hammer is best for my film opening. This will appeal more to the British audience as they're more aware and have more knowledge of the the Victorian times which is the the time my film is set and can relate to the characters.
Hammer is a British film television production company based in London. They've also produced a lot of horror/thriller films, during the 1960s Hammer released a series of psychological thrillers. This links well with our film opening as our genre is psychological horrors/thrillers.

A British distribution company would be interested in our psychological horror as our film addresses a wider audience and draws the audience in as our film has an unique, original
and unusual story line which will be captivating to the target audience.

We first decided to use both lionsgate and hammer as our film institution however because we had a limited time of 2 minutes we realized using both of our institutions exceeded our time span so we had to cut it down to ensure the duration of our film was not too long and at 2 minutes. Lions gate was a more larger production company which is why we decided to use it as our main institution, the company will allow a wider range of people to be able to watch it. Lions gate is known for creating such huge popular films such as American psycho so by us making lionsgate own film institutions gives our film a chance to be popular and successful like the rest of the films.My film should be able to be displayed at the cinema as people enjoy big screens better and the quality of the film will be much better, It should also be able to be displayed on the internet for anyone who don't have the time to travel to the cinema and like the idea of watching films at home this could be downloaded for a small price. My Film should be able to be displayed on the TV after 4 months the film has been published and produced in the cinema, it shouldn't be immediately released on TV so it can maintain its label as a Blockbuster and nit a TV movie.
