"What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?"
As a group we had to decide on a distributor. Our distributor would be based on the outcomes that we want from this film. Our main focus and drive is to get a message out, we therefore do not need a Hollywood massive company like Sony to distribute our film. This is because our film is very individual and does not show many conventions of a typical Hollywood romance film, for example Wild Child or Clueless. We have not catered specifically for typical American audiences although it would be suitable for a global audience to watch however this is not our main aim. We would just want to get our message across and connect with teenage girls rather than making loads of money. For this reason, we decided to go down an 'independent film' route, and researched several companies that have previously and continue to distribute independent films. For this reason we chose Fox Searchlight Pictures. This company is owned by the large American company called 'Fox'. Fox Searchlight Pictures specifically target independent and British films to distribute to British audiences and sometimes American and internationally. This gives us a bigger audience which means that more people see it and hear our message. Our group put together some facts and figures to show why we chose Fox Searchlight Pictures as our possible distributor using Prezi.
