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

If our film were to be distributed by a UK British film company, we as a group believe that the most realistic and ideal distributor would be Film4. Film4 are a
production company (owned by channel four) who produce low-budget films in the UK and the majority of them have been successful, for example: East is East, Happy go lucky and the most successful partnership, Slumdog millionaire.


If our film were to be distributed by an overseas then our group escalated the fact that 'Pathe films international' were the perfect distributors due their distribution of similar productions such as ; adulthood, whom's storyline is of a similar concept to our film. Also the prequel of 'Adulthood' ( 'kidulthood' ) was distributed by 'Revolver Entertainment , who grossed £453,876 from a preliminary budget of £600,000. This has given our group the confidence that due to the many cinema halls 'Pathe' have allocated around Europe, that our film would do well at box office as it harbours originality.

However the local aspect of the film has swayed us to choose 'Working title' as our distributor due to their connection to one of the bigge
st global conglomerates in the world, 'Universal'. This connection working title have would lead to our film being blanket released in England before its global recognition in america.


'Harry Potter' is one example of English films which has been distributed by universal and now posses global recognition around the world and these are the heights we would realistically expect our film to reach due to its originality and craft.
