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

Distribution is where big companies put there name to your film and they can give the film the opportunity to be in a cinema or on DVD. This is a big part of the media production because it is the part that means that the public can see the film. There are some big film distributors like Warner Brothers, Lionsgate, Universal and Disney. these are big companies that can get the media product shown to lots of people because they have the resources to be able to do it.

For my film Warner Brothers would be the distributor because they deal with a lot of Neo Noir style films like sin city and this mean that they will know how to distribute my media product the best because they have the most experience with that style of film. The relationship SDK would have with Warner Brothers would be that they funded the film and Distributed it and SDK would do the rest of the work and we would give them some of the profit that the film makes. This is the way that other Companies work. Working Title Films and universal is an example of this because Working Title Films makes the film but Universal pay for it and distribute it and this is that way that other companies work. Universal get their money back through the profits and the box office success of the film. If big companies think that the media product wont work they won't sponsor it.
