What kind of institution might distribute your media product?

A company that would be great to distribute our film would be Working Title Films as it has distributed a wide variety of films such as; Notting Hill, Billy Elliot, Shaun of the Dead and Bridget Jones’ Diary – although none of these films have the same genre as ‘Intruder’ they all had very good box office takings and had very high ratings. Working Title Films is also associated with Film4 which means we could get our film to be broadcasted on the TV, this would broaden our audience and make people aware of our film, this would encourage them to come and watch it. Film4 also broadcasted About a Boy - which was a Working Title Film; this was a big success with huge box office takings meaning it would be wise idea to let them broadcast Intruder. Working Title would be useful to distribute our film as they have had loads of successful film releases in the past and present such as Four Weddings and a Funeral and Love Actually. This could increase the chances of our film being a big success rather than a ‘flop film’. Fans of Working Title Films will be inclined to come and see our film due to their previous film successes. It would also be a good idea to use a large American distribution company such Universal Studios. This would enable us to get our film available in the USA which would also broaden our audience – this would increase the box office takings and achieve high revenue and profits for the company and us. By releasing our film into the USA, it would make it much easier to distribute it into cinemas so lots of people will be able to view our film easily. We would also advertise our film in the cinemas encouraging lots of people to come and see our film. Our film will then be distributed onto DVD release. All these ways of selling our film will lead to wider audiences and varied reviews. However it will lead to maximum gross profits. An good idea to increase the number of people that come and watch our film would be to release snaps of our film onto the internet which will intrigue people and make them want to find out more, and may lead to higher purchases of our film.
